Sony Xperia Z4 is not the 2015 flagship, stay tuned this May

Sony Xperia Z4 was announced in Japan today and it's an incremental upgrade with the Snapdragon 810 chip being the key change. As it turns out the lack of fanfare for the Xperia Z4 launch in Japan was intentional, as the phone will remain as an exclusive for its homeland. Instead Sony will be premiering a proper flagship smartphone later this year, supposedly this May. There are no details on the alleged flagship phone, but if previous rumors are to be trusted we'll be seeing a screen resolution bump. Sony recently promised to focus on the user experience instead of only hardware upgrades, so we should expect improved Android OS and proprietary apps. So, as the rumor has it, Sony Xperia Z4 is not the flagship you've been waiting for. Be patient and stay tuned for the end of May, when Sony will reportedly introduce its international and more advanced flagship smartphone. Source |...

Analyst: Apple sold 3M Watches, making bank on the Edition

The Apple Watch pre-orders are in full swing, but the delivery date for new orders keeps slipping back. The principal of Think Big Analytics, Carl Howe, estimates that Apple has sold 3 million units already and now that Quanta has gotten the hang of building watches Howe thinks the company will produce 2 million a month in May and June. However, Howe says, this will not be enough to match demand. The most affordable Apple Watch Sport will sell the most units, having moved an estimated 1.8 million already. The Apple Watch comes in second with 1.2 million while the expensive Watch Edition is at around 40,000. Considering that these three differ mainly on their external case, the margins on the Watch and Watch Edition are much higher than on the Sport. So much so that the estimated revenue (of around $2 billion total) is dominated by the Watch, then the Sport and the Edition is a close third. Yes, the Watch Edition units have premium gold exterior, but not enough to make up for a significant part of the $10,000 price tag. The wrist bands will earn a good deal of money too and they are a must have as the $550 Watch and $10,000 Watch Edition come with the same plastic strap as the $350 Watch...

TrendForce: Global smartphone shipments declined 9.2% in Q1

Global smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2015 stood at 291.2 million units, down 9.2% compared to the last quarter of 2014, according to a latest report from market research firm TrendForce. "The decline, which was larger than the initial estimation, was attributed to the weak smartphone market in China," the research firm said in a press release, predicting that the market will recover in the latter half of Q2. As far as smartphone manufacturers are concerned, Samsung claimed the top spot with 27.8% market share, followed by Apple with 19.9%. Huawei, LG, and Lenovo rounded-up the top five with 7, 6.2 and 6% market shares, respectively. TrendForce projects that Samsung will ship over 80 million smartphone units in Q2, while the shipments of the South Korean company's latest flagships, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, will surpass 20M units. As for Apple, the report says the company will ship approximately 45 million smartphone units in the...

Oppo launches the low-end Joy Plus in India for $111

Oppo has launched a new budget Android smartphone in India. The Oppo Joy Plus will retail for Rs. 6,990 ($111) and is Oppo's cheapest phone on the market. The Joy Plus has a 4.0-inch, 800x480 display, MediaTek MT6572 SoC with dual-Core 1.3GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 4GB internal memory, 3 megapixel rear camera, VGA front camera, 1700mAh battery, and Android 4.4 KitKat. While this may have been fine a couple of years ago, Oppo seems woefully out of touch with the current market situation in India, where you can get the Xiaomi Redmi 2 for the same price as the Joy Plus and is in a different league altogether. If Oppo wants to get a bigger foothold in the market, it will need to be more aggressive with price and specifications in a value conscious market like...

Fix your bricked Lumia 520 or 525 with the updated recovery tool

Recently Microsoft made available the Windows 10 Technical Preview for Lumia 520/521 and 525. These are the weakest phones among the Windows Phone 8 gang with just half a gig of RAM. The update process went well for the early adopters, though issues arose when trying to roll back to Windows Phone 8.1. Apparently lots of users, who didn't want to stick with the Windows 10 Preview got their Lumia 52x bricked after trying to revert back to Windows Phone 8.1. Some devices got stuck on a red Nokia logo, while others just went dead with nothing on the screen. Microsoft has a dedicated Windows Phone Recovery Tool, which usually saves bricked smartphones. Unfortunately it doesn't help with the bricked Lumia 5 series. Microsoft now has a new version of this tool, which should help recover the bricked Lumia 520/521/525. According to Microsoft the major issue was with the data writing size and speed. Microsoft basically lowered the image files and the writing speed. The company doesn't promise this updated toll will fix all bricked Lumia 52x, but it should work in most cases for those with a red Nokia logo and with the black screen. Microsoft is still investigating the problem and is working to bring back to live all bricked Lumia smartphones. Meanwhile the Windows 10 Preview update is on hold until all issues are resolved. You can download the new Windows Phone Recovery Tool from this link. Its version should be 1.2.4. Source |...

Samsung drops its logo from the Japanese Galaxy S6 and S6 edge

Samsung has dropped its company logo on the Japanese version of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. The Docomo version of both phones feature no Samsung logo on the front at all. Instead, the S6 gets a Docomo logo where the Samsung logo would be and on the back is just the Galaxy logo. The S6 edge doesn't even have the Docomo logo on the front, making it possibly the only Samsung phone to not have any logos there. It does have both the Docomo and Galaxy logos on the back. Looking at the clean appearance of the S6 edge front, we'd argue that Samsung should avoid having any logos on the front of its devices, even in other market. It's not like it's hard to tell Samsung phones from the rest...

OnePlus to unveil an affordable handset today?

Recently, OnePlus CEO revealed that the company is planning to launch two new smartphones this year - a OnePlus One successor and a cheaper model. However, it wasn't clear whether any, or which of the two would be unveiled at its event today. Now, multiple reports are claiming that the Chinese smartphone manufacturer could unveil the cheaper model today. While a report from Gizmochina, which cites a leaked image of the device from the Ubuntu Leakster team (shown above), says that the handset has a single LED flash and similar texture as the One, a DriodPile report is claiming that the handset is called OnePlus One Lite and has better specs than the One. Needless to say, none of this has been officially confirmed by the company, so take it with a pinch of salt. Via 1 | Via...

UK e-retailer Expansys has dropped the price of Samsung's Gear S smartwatch, which was unveiled back in September last year at IFA and went on sale a couple of months later, from the usual £330 ($494) to £275 ($412).

Xiaomi sends out teasers for global Mi phone launch on April 23

Xiaomi sent out invites last week for the launch of a new global Mi phone in India on April 23. Over the weekend, the Chinese startup shared several cryptic teaser images via its social network profiles. Quite cheekily, the teasers carried text mocking the Apple with "i" bearing words. The first teaser carries two images of Monalisa painting where one is pixellated while the other looks crisp. A text below the renders rhetorically asks if they look the same. The second teaser image suggests that the upcoming Xiaomi creation will pack large battery in a compact body. The final teaser hints that the handset will have premium build quality. In short, the new global Mi phone will sport a display with great pixel density, big battery and premium quality. So far, it is being speculated that Xiaomi will announce Redmi Note 2 with 1080p display. Thankfully, we won't have to wait long to find out what the company has in...

Counterclockwise: Nokia 5800, Moto Atrix, Galaxy S5, Opera Mini

Counterclockwise may as well be called "nostalgia trip." We start off with very recent history - Samsung's bold predictions of the Galaxy S5's sales numbers. Then we venture further back in time to watch phones try - and succeed - to predict the future, only to meet an untimely end. Galaxy S5 dreams big History has a unique way of embarrassing us - a lesson Samsung learned the hard way. Back in April last year it proclaimed the Galaxy S5 will outsell the massively successful Galaxy S4. It also said that a Tizen smartphone will be out in Q2 2014, but let's not dwell on that. Early numbers were on Samsung's side too, the S5 broke S4's first day sales record. Having launched in 125 countries put it in a great position to expand quickly and indeed it outsold its predecessor by 30% on Day 1. Not long after it lost momentum. Lesson learned, Samsung redesigned the S5 successor from the ground up and the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are enjoying unexpected success - unexpected as Samsung's estimates proved too conservative and the company is now scrambling to meet the high demand. Interestingly, the pricier (and arguably more attractive) Galaxy S6 edge is selling on par with its flat-screened sibling. Those things aren't cheap though, the Galaxy S5 cost $256 to manufacture, up from $244 for the Galaxy S4, however the Galaxy S6 edge cost Samsung more than ever to build - $290 for the 64GB version. Nokia 5800 brings touch to Symbian The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was one Nokia's first touchscreen Symbian phones and sadly one of its last best-sellers. It launched in November 2008 and offered a lot of bang for the buck, partly because of its well-stuffed retail box. Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Black official photo In April 2009 a silver version cropped up - well, it had a silver rim, the phone was still black. With a 3.2" touchscreen, Wi-Fi, GPS and powerful stereo speakers the 5800 was a lot of phone for $370/€280 back in 2009. The screen was an old-school resistive touchscreen, which meant no multitouch. It did come with a stylus about three years before the first Galaxy Note, that was more out of necessity than invention though. Still, a clever programmer figured out how to fake multitouch for a Guitar Hero type game. Entertaining as it was, it couldn't rescue Symbian, which only had bolted-on touch functionality and was up against iOS and Android, which were designed for touch from the ground up. Motorola Atrix sees the future Symbian wasn't ready for the touchscreen future, but sometimes being ready for the future is a bad thing. In April 2011 Orange UK announced that it will launch the Motorola Atrix in May and offer its various docks at reduced cost. Those docks were something to behold. The Atrix ran Android on a then powerful Tegra 2 (dual-core 1GHz processor) and it could turn into a laptop or a multimedia station with the right dock, complete with full-size keyboard, USB and HDMI ports. That same year Asus launched the Transformer - an Android tablet (coincidentally with just about the same chipset) that attaches to a keyboard dock to turn into a laptop. The Transformer has multiple successors, including a phone that docks into a tablet that docks into a keyboard, but neither it nor the Atrix conquered the market. Since then transformable laptops (really tablet + keyboard dock) are being pushed by both Intel and Microsoft - one pushes its new low-power chipset, the other its touchscreen UI. Canonical shortly had plans to revisit the Motorola Atrix formula, but based on Ubuntu Linux. Those plans were cancelled. Phone chipset these days rival laptop processors from the time the Atrix came out and we've seen several functional multitasking add-ons to Android. Also, the new USB Type C combines a display, data and power cables into one very convenient package, making the custom connectors of the Atrix and Transformer obsolete. So, maybe soon we'll get to power our laptops and desktops with our phones. Still, predicting the future did these precursor devices little good. Opera Mini smartens up Opera Mini was the browser to have on a feature phone - advanced compared to the native browser (if there even was one), worked fast and was light on your expensive data plan doing it. It's big bro was more popular on Symbian and Windows Mobile, but...

The Top 10 trending phones of week 16

There's no dethroning the Samsung Galaxy S6 from our weekly trending chart, and if anything it's even gaining popularity. It's special Galaxy S6 edge sibling is now the runner-up after briefly falling off the top 3 last week. The Galaxy Grand Prime has never been embarrassed to mingle with the big bros and is now in third. The Top 10 trending phones chart is a recap list of the devices that gathered the most hits throughout the week. In other words, the chart represents the interests of the majority of you, our visitors, and is an indication of what currently interests you.

We find the Apple iPhone 6 in sixth spot, three down from last week's edition, while the Samsung Galaxy A5 has lost 2 spots and is now in seventh. The super-slim 5.5mm Gionee Elife S7 came out of nowhere and claimed the 8th spot, likely driven by its recent market launch.

Week 16 in review: Huawei P8, LG G4

Another busy week has passed and the mobile realm is ever so active with plenty of interesting news to go around. Once again, we will briefly recap what you, our loyal readers, found most-interesting during the past few days. We kick the list off with a name which seldom captures the spotlight for long enough to make it to this article - Huawei. On Wednesday, however, the Chinese manufacturer had everybody's undivided attention for the eagerly-anticipated launch of the company's new flagship. The Huawei P8 made its official debut, equipped with a 5.2-inch FullHD display and the brand new Kirin 935 chipset, just as expected. It, however, was joined on stage at the venue by a much more-surprising new device - the Huawei P8max. It is powered by mostly the same silicon as its sibling, but is significantly bigger. In fact, with a 6.8-inch 1080p display, it is kind of stretching the limits of phablet dimensions. LG is also gearing up for a huge upcoming premiere. On April 28, the company has promised to unveil its latest flagship device - the LG G4. It has also been the object of rumors for quite some time now, but with the official premiere closing in, a lot more information is now known about the impressive handset. It will allegedly feature a next generation 5.5" QHD IPS Quantum display and, most likely, a Snapdragon 810 SoC and 3GB of RAM. But its different styling is perhaps the most discussed aspect of the new device. The LG G4 will come with a slick leather back, which is definitely some out-of-the-box thinking on LG's side. In other news, the tech world is still eagerly awaiting the Sony Xperia Z4 flagship. The news is still overflowing with various leaked photos, cases and an ungodly amount of rumors and speculations. Alas, fans might still have some waiting on the Z4 ahead of them, as there have been rumors of an Xperia Z3 Neo next in line for a release on April 20. If you think, you might have missed anything important form the week, here is a short list of the most interesting stories. .news-item .n-left { float: left; width: 16%; text-align: center; margin-left: -13px; } .news-item .n-right { float: left; width: 84%; } .news-item a { padding-bottom: 0; padding-left: 0; } .news-item .n-right h2, .reviews-item .n-right h2 { clear: both; padding: 0 0 3px 0px; font: 400 19px Oswald, Arial; margin-top: -4px; } .n-right p { line-height: 155%; } .news-item { padding-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-top: 1px solid #ccc; } .news-item p { margin-left: 0; } .n-right h2 a { text-decoration: none; color: #000; } Huawei P8 has a 6.4mm all-metal unibody, 5.2-inch screen The build process takes over 12 hours to machine the all-metal unibody with impressively thin bezels. Sony Xperia Z4 (or Z3 Neo) could be unveiled on April 20 Sony's next flagship device may be closer to an official announcement than previously thought.
