Sony Xperia Z2 Best Of SONY In Smartphone

Sony Xperia Z2

Sony Xperia Z2 release date and price

In the UK the Xperia Z2 is up for pre-order for a whopping £599 SIM free on Sony's site, while in Australia it's about AU$899.95 , Rs.60999 in INDIA and in the US you're looking at around $600.

The Xperia Z2's global release date is April 2014 and the handset has been announced on UK networks O2, Three, Vodafone and EE as well as by retailers such as Carphone Warehouse.

Xperia Z2 specifications

The Sony Xperia Z2 includes Sony Digital Noise Cancelling – a first in a phone – and as is becoming the norm for Sony, it's dust- and waterproof as well.

The handset is one of the first (along with the One M8 and Galaxy S5) to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and it boasts four 2.3GHz Krait CPUs in addition to 4G LTE, 3GB of RAM and a high capacity 3,200mAh battery, which in combination with Sony's Battery STAMINA mode should keep it going for quite some time.

On the storage front there's 16GB built in along with a microSD card slot which supports cards of up to 64GB.

As you might expect from any worthwhile new flagship phone, it's also running Android KitKat with Sony's light interface skin placed on top.

That makes it a moderate upgrade over the Sony Xperia Z1, which has a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM.

Xperia Z2 camera and audio

The Z2's key technology sell is the ability to shoot 4K video, so that's four times the pixels of HD and twice the resolution at - 3,840 x 2,160 pixels at 30fps.

The camera is a 20.7MP unit, with the mobile version of the proven Exmor RS image sensor and Bionz processing engine alongside Sony's G Lens. Using built in apps, you can also shoot Timeshift video, while there's also an AR app, too.

The Timeshift video mode lets you shoot in 120 frames per second and select individual scenes to slow playback

Another new app enables you to defocus the background and adapt a shallow depth of field – you can capture two photos at different focus settings and blend them together.

Backing up the main camera there's a 2.2MP snapper on the front which can shoot 1080p video at 30fps.

Sadly there's no optical image stabilization, but the Xperia Z2 does have SteadyShot digital image stabilization, which similarly aims to counter camera shake.

You can also buy an additional STM10 stereo microphone should you need enhanced sound quality for shooting 4K video.

Speaking of sound, Sony's put the speakers on the front of the handset this time around, aiming to muscle in on the HTC One's territory with what it's calling S-Force Front Surround.

Sony's MDR NC31EM noise cancelling headset comes bundled with the handset and unfortunately you have to use this specific headset if you want to take advantage of the fancy noise cancelling features of the phone.

Xperia Z2 display

The 5.2-inch IPS LCD Triluminos display is Full HD 1080 x 1920 with a pixel density of 424 pixels per inch. The Xperia Z2 uses Sony's X-Reality technology, to optimize colors, contrast and sharpness while reducing noise.

Sony is also claiming it has the best color reproduction of any smartphone on the market with its Live Color LED tech.

Our full review will put that claim to the test, but it's certainly an impressive display, particularly in comparison to the Z1, which looks washed out and lacking in detail when put side by side with this.

Xperia Z2 design

At 8.2mm thick and 163g, the Z2 is 0.3mm thinner than the Sony Xperia Z1 and 7g lighter, despite having a larger screen and more powerful innards.

It's an evolution of the same aluminum design, which Sony calls OmniBalance.

In fact it looks almost identical to the Xperia Z1, with the same metal edging, glass back and large bezels above and below the screen.

Like the Z1 it's also dust resistant and waterproof to IP55 & IP58 standards, allowing it to be submerged for up to 30 minutes in water 1 meter deep.

Xperia Z2 interface and features

The Xperia Z2's interface is similar to that of the Z1, though it comes with Android 4.4.2 KitKat so it's bang up to date.

The handset also has a few new features hidden away in its menus. There's 'Smart Backlight Control' for one, which will keep the screen on while you're looking at it, just like Samsung does with Smart Stay.

Then there's the ability to double tap the screen to wake it up, much like LG's KnockON feature and it's also possible to answer or reject calls with hand gestures.

The Sony Xperia Z2 has also inherited Glove Mode from the Xperia Z1 Compact, allowing you to operate it while wearing gloves and there's a Simple Home option, which, well, simplifies the home screen and uses bigger icons, making it ideal for smartphone virgins and visually impaired users.

Sony Xperia Z2 power

While a 2K screen would help the Sony Xperia Z2 stand out, when it comes to power things appear to be a little less exciting.

Reports are centering around the same 2.3GHz quad-core processor which you'll find in the Xperia Z1 and Z1 Compact.

That's not to say the Xperia Z2 will be under-powered - far from it in fact - but we were hoping to see perhaps an octa-core chip inside the next Sony powerhouse. Of course that is still possible, we'll just have to wait and see.

In terms of RAM inside the Sony Xperia Z2 it seems the handset is inline for a boost here, with 3GB apparently on the cards.

Save-A-Phone rescue your all electronic devices from water

Save-A-Phone 

The Swaai Save-A-Phone system rescues portable electronic devices of all sorts, including mobile phones, MP3 players, and PDAs, from the perils of water and moisture. Whether the device was submerged, or suffered exposure to a high humidity environment, the Save-A-Phone system uses the power of desiccation to pull moisture out. If all goes well, your essential device should be up and running again anywhere from 4 to 72 hours later.

The Save-A-Phone system consists of a Mylar and polyethylene bag and 2 Drying Agent Packs (DAP) which seal in your portable device - slowly drawing out the moisture. A color indicator on the bag lets you know when your phone, handheld game, or other device is completely dry and ready to be powered up again. Follow the step-by-step directions for the best and most effective removal of moisture and for the best possible outcome.

Saves Electronic Devices

Whether it's a mobile phone, digital camera, or other portable electronic device that's gotten wet Save-A-Phone uses the power of desiccation to remove moisture and prevent otherwise certain catastrophe

The Save-A-Phone System

The Save-A-Phone system consists of a reusable airtight Mylar foil and clear polyethylene bag, two Save-A-Phone Drying Agent Packs (DAP), and the color indicator. The Save-A-Phone 'desiccation chamber' (the bag) is made from Mylar and polyethylene because these materials possess a very low Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR)

Who Can Benefit From It

Among the numerous professionals whose jobs keep them in and around water, Save-A-Phone cites commercial divers, fishermen, and on-the-water rescue crews. Anyone who's around water or high humidity and moisture can benefit from the drying powers of Save-A-Phone though. The drying system's makers further cite the effectiveness of the Save-A-Phone by pointing out that the US Military uses Mylar bags - an integral part of the Save-A-Phone system - for transporting their sensitive electronic equipment worldwide

How It Works

• The electronic device has gotten wet - dropped, sprayed, or otherwise adversely affected by water or a high moisture climate

• Open the device, if it can be opened, to remove a battery (or sim card in the case of a cell phone). If the device is unable to be opened, Save-A-Phone will still work with the battery in place

• Stand the device in an antennae-up orientation until you are able to safely begin the Save-A-Phone recovery process

• Cut the top off of the foil bag packaging along the dotted line with a scissors

• Remove the Save-A-Phone bag with the two Drying Agent Packs from within the outer foil bag

• Open the zip seal along the top of the Save-A-Phone bag

• Do not rip open the Drying Agent Packs

• Place the device, battery, and sim card (if applicable) inside the Save-A-Phone bag (larger bag) along with the two Drying Agent Packs

• Carefully close the zip seal along the top of the Save-A-Phone bag. Make sure it is completely sealed. As the drying agent pulls the water out of your device the moisture indicator will turn from blue to pink - this can take a couple of hours

• Place the Save-A-Phone bag (with contents inside) in a relatively warm place (68-80°F)

• RELAX and let the Save-A-Phone system do its thing

• The drying process can take as little as 4 hours or as long as 72 hours. However, it is recommended to keep the device in the bag for at least 12 hours

• When the moisture indicator turns back to blue it is most-likely safe to open the bag, remove the contents, and replace the battery and sim card (if applicable), and power the device back up

• If you replace the battery and power up your device and it seems to work fine, then BACK UP ALL DATA IMMEDIATELY!

• If you replace the battery and the device does not power up, the battery may be irreparably damaged and will need to be replaced, or the device is permanently damaged and will need to be sent to the manufacturer's approved service center

Samsung Gear 2 Neo And Gear Fit

Gear 2 Neo & Gear Fit Review :-

Gear 2 Neo

No camera, but everything else as Gear 2

To re-emphasize: other than the camera and the lighter-weight design, the Gear 2 Neo is the same watch as the Gear 2. It has the same processor, screen, 4GB of onboard storage, and general health functions. Whereas the Gear 2 offers a 2-megapixel snapper, the Gear 2 Neo leaves you without any means of capturing stills. Taking photos using the current Galaxy Gear isn't exactly the most graceful affair, so this might not be such a terrible omission

There's also more in the way of customisation on offer here with the Gear 2 Neo, as you can finally change the wallpaper to something of your own design on the back of the screen in day to day life.

This is done by taking a picture on your connected device and then porting it to the Gear 2 Neo when you've cropped it correctly.

                                                            

                                                      

Despite not having a camera, the Gear 2 Neo has all the other key features of the Gear 2. There's a beautifully vivid 1.63-inch 320x320-pixel Super AMOLED display, and a 1GHz dual-core processor. A little home button takes you out of any app with a quick press. Meanwhile, on the top, a little IRLED sensor connects via a WatchOn app to your television to turn the Gear 2 into a TV remote. Plus, it shares the Gear 2's new features, like an offline music player, and health-tracking apps that tap into the Gear 2 Neo's pedometer and heart rate monitor.

Health

The heart rate monitor, which is new to all of Samsung's newly announced products -- the Galaxy S5 which i reviewed in my earlier post, the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo, and the Gear Fit -- works via an optical sensor on the back of the watch. It responded quickly and gave a readout within seconds when I tested it on my wrist with a press of a button

Newer health apps promise to guide and collect fitness data more proactively than the pretty bare-bones way the original Gear did, and the Gear 2 and the Gear 2 Neo will track sleep and stress levels, too. Third-party apps so far include ones from Under Armour, Garmin, and Runtastic.

Design

The wrist-feel and less-bulky design are definitely improved. For spec nerds, it's 37.9mm x 58.8mm x 10.0mm and weighs 55g, versus the Gear 2's 36.9mm x 58.4mm x 10.0mm and 68g. But, it's still a large watch: next to a Pebble Steel, the Gear 2 Neo feels loud and big. If you want a more discreet smartwatch design, the Samsung Gear Fit might be the right choice.

Gear Fit

The Samsung Gear Fit is smaller and lighter than the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo smartwatches, and is focused on health. It features a 1.84-inch Super AMOLED display with a 432 x 128 pixel resolution

The Samsung Gear Fit is a Bluetooth 4.0 LE device and is IP67 rated for excellent dust and water resistance. A heart rate sensor is on the underside which can be left active over extended periods. It also features general activity tracking for all your pedometric and gyroscopic needs.

The Gear 2 advantage will be the app integration that is hitting that device for this second-generation launch. Here on the Gear Fit you'll get your notifications for calls, e-mail, SMS, alarm and the S-Planner. Samsung also says the platform is open to third-party app notifications as well.

The Gear Fit includes personal fitness coaching options which integrate with the heart rate monitor to ensure you keep up the right pace to hit your targets.A 210mAh battery powers the Samsung Gear Fit, which gives a typical usage of 3 to 4 days and up to 5 days with low usage. The device measures in at 23.4 x 57.4 x 11.95 mm (body only) and weighs 27 grams.

Price

Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit will go for Rs. 15,900 in 
INDIA and $199 in US 

Samsung Gear 2

Samsung Gear 2 review

The new Samsung Gear 2 is the watch that we were all expecting to happen at MWC, but it came with a few surprises along the way.

The biggest one is the fact it's running Tizen; or, as Samsung tells us, a Tizen-based OS for smartwatches. The distinction is largely irrelevant, as the upshot is a faster, more efficient and longer-lasting watch.

The new Gear 2, shorn as it is of the Galaxy name thanks to not coming with Android, is a much better device compared to the original thanks to some key upgrades.

The big one is the fact it's so much lighter compared to the first Gear, which tipped the scales over 70g where the Gear 2 is a lovely 68g. It might not sound like much, but in reality it makes a big difference.

Design

The Gear 2 feels much slimmer, offered up in a 10mm form that makes it just feel much nicer on the wrist. While the camera remains for some reason, at least the module is no longer massive, and is instead embedded in the head of the smart timepiece itself.

The charging situation has been nullified somewhat as well - while there's no socket on the Gear 2 itself (boo) the charging cradle has been significantly reduced to make it look at least a bit better when being plugged in (woohoo).

Interface

There's very little new on show here with the Gear 2's interface, making it very much like the original Gear in most of the modes you'll use it in.

However, there's a lot more customisation on show than before, thanks to an increased synchronisation with the main Gear manager on your smartphone. For instance, you can take a picture of your shirt and have it as the background of your Gear 2, to really give that 'all in' flavour to the way you dress.

There's also a home button at the bottom, which you can double press and set to perform a multitude of functions, like take you to missed notifications or emails, or start your sports program.

The rest of the interface is business as usual, with the icons and the general operation barely touched at all. The same black and white Super AMOLED technology that was a strong feature of the original Gear pervades here, and simply tapping around will get you in and out of the watch. Or you can use the home button - your call, really

Fitness

Being healthy is a big part of what Samsung's about at the moment, and as such the Gear 2 is there to pick up the pieces.

By being a fitness device, and allowing you to change the mode of exercising you're doing (running, walking, cycling and hiking are all included in the mix, meaning that the watch is able to keep a better eye on your calorie burn, which it does by calculating speed through the pedometer) you've got a much more comprehensive wearable for fitness.

There's also an optical heart rate monitor that can fairly accurately check your heart rate when exercising or just wandering around. Given this is one of the best ways to train (monitoring your heart's output to make sure your body doesn't get over tired) this is a really nice feature to add in to bring health to the forefront.

It seems pretty accurate and quick to pick up your pulse, using a beam of light to check how fast you blood is pumping. It's more useful when running than generally sitting around, but a fun feature nonetheless.

Other features

The Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 features a number of nifty ideas that make the idea of owning a smartwatch that little bit more palatable. For instance, next to the camera there's an IR blaster, which means you control your TV without needing to hunt for the remote.

It's got the WatchON app embedded within the device so you can easily control what you need or type in number codes should they be required.

It will also be launching with an open SDK, so there should be a number of new apps in the mix as well.

Sadly this isn't a true Dick Tracy phone, despite what Samsung claimed with the earlier version, as the angle of the camera precludes a video chat.

However, the speaker and microphone have been moved off the strap and into the main body of the Gear itself to make it easier to hold a conversation, should you wish to look a bit crazy when chatting to the end of your arm.

PORTABLE SPEAKER "BEOLIT 12"

Bang & Olufsen Beolit 12

Bang & Olufsen's B&O Beolit 12 looks like a lunchbox 6.2-pound cube.

There are a few capacitive buttons on top of the device, and it's simple to use, once you get it set up. To get it ready, you'll need to deal with an Ethernet cable, a computer, and IP addresses — the manual does a good job of guiding you through the process, but it's not as seamless or obvious as it could be.

The Beolit 12 has USB and line-in inputs, but it's definitely designed to primarily serve as an AirPlay device — there's no remote or dock, and everything's supposed to happen on your phone. There is a rechargeable battery inside the device, which makes it much more portable than some of the other Airplay speakers we tested. The battery is rated to last eight hours, which is plenty of time to accompany a picnic or party.

Batteries and beauty are one thing, but the Beolit 12's greatest quality is that it sounds absolutely fantastic. It's a bit heavy on the bass output, but sound is crisp, clean, and without a hint of distortion. Adele sounds incredible singing "Set Fire to the Rain," and there's remarkable clarity in the crazy bass line of The Knife's "Silent Shout." It's not the loudest speaker I tested, but it's certainly loud enough to fill a room and fuel a party

Samsung Galaxy S5 Review

Samsung Galaxy S5 :-

Once a year, Samsung takes some of its best material and slaps it together into a premium flagship model called the Galaxy S. While 2014's version -- the S5 -- came a bit earlier in the year than some earlier iterations, we're no less excited to see it become the star of the show at Mobile World Congress. The new device will ship in April (on stage, Samsung specifically mentioned that it launches on April 11th in 150 markets), although exact pricing and availability are still unknown. It features a refreshed design language, yet anyone who has used a GS phone recently will immediately recognize it as a Samsung flagship.

Despite its familiar design, the GS5 has a few new useful hardware features, including a fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor, and a toned-down TouchWiz UI on top of Android 4.4 KitKat. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all, however, was that Samsung didn't overload its prized new smartphone with a heaping dose of new S-branded features. This is a marked departure from the company's previous strategy of cramming in every software feature under the sun, which leads us to wonder if this is related to Samsung's recent agreement to dial back the customization it does on Android devices.

Samsung Galaxy S5 – Design

The look of the Samsung Galaxy S5 has been much-discussed. Some thought that Samsung would make a metal phone, but the new model is still good old plastic.
It's more conspicuously plastic than the Galaxy S4 too. There's no fake metal finish on the back this time - just the silvery sides - and the back has a texture of little dimples to give it a bit of extra grip, and a different look from the previous Galaxy S phones. Samsung calls it "modern and refreshing", and it comes in four shades – blue, gold, white and black. Don't buy the gold version, it looks horrible.

This is no great departure, though. The shape is similar, the weight is similar and it's just a little thicker at 8.1mm thick. It is a bit longer, though, which is likely down to all the extra tech Samsung has crammed in. Unlike some of this year's top phones, the soft keys and clicky select button remain, which won't have helped. 

However, the central select button houses one of the Galaxy S5's most intriguing features -  a fingerprint sensor. It's in a similar position to the iPhone 5S's Touch ID sensor, but the tech it uses is a little different. 

Where the Touch ID sensor simply requires you to place a finger on it, the Galaxy S5's button sensor needs a swipe. It feels a little more awkward, but the front positioning is much better than the rear sensor of the HTC One Max. As well as unlocking the phone, the fingerprint sensor can be used to authenticate online transactions, like PayPal. A little scary? Yes. Handy? Absolutely. 

The fingerprint sensor is just one of a number of hardware features you might not appreciate from simply looking at the phone. Water resistance and dust-proofing is the other biggie. The Galaxy S5's plastic back and the USB port on the bottom are rubber sealed, letting you dunk the phone in water without risking breaking the thing

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is certified to the IP67 standard, meaning it can be submerged in water and is completely dust-proof. As ever with mobile phone water-resistance, this relies on the seals being in place. And Samsung does not recommend submerging it.

The one sealed port is the USB port on the bottom, and its flap is much larger than you might expect. It's a USB 3.0 port, not the usual microUSB type. It offers faster data transfer, and faster charging when used with a computer's USB 3.0 socket. However, it's also a good deal bigger than normal microUSB. You can use regular microUSB cables in the socket, though, so there's no real convenience issue. It just looks a bit weird.

This is not the first time we've seen a microUSB 3.0 socket on a Samsung mobile device, either. It is also used in the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. No other major manufacturers have cottoned on to this, though – we imagine it's because they think few people would care. They may have a point.

There's one more standout hardware addition on the Galaxy S5, and it's the least 'everyday' of the lot. The rear of the phone has a heart rate sensor, which can monitor your heart rate when you place a finger on the back of the phone. 

It's only really of use within the pre-installed fitness app at the moment, though, and it's nowhere near as convenient as the sensor on a smartwatch like the Samsung Gear 2. I can't imagine many runners trotting around with their fingers glued to the phone's back. 

The heart rate sensor lives next to the LED flash, in the little group of odd-looking techy bits and bobs below the camera.

Samsung Galaxy S5 – Screen

The screen of the Galaxy S5 is not dramatically different to that of the Galaxy S4. It's a shade bigger – a grand 0.1 inches – but the screen type and resolution are the same. It's a 1080p Super AMOLED screen.

As with just about every OLED-type screen, contrast and black level are excellent. Samsung says it has dramatically increased how dim the screen can go too. It's the first time we've seen a company boast about such a thing, but it will come in handy if you like to watch a spot of iPlayer before bed, or check your emails at all times of the day - OCD-style.

Side-by-side with the Galaxy S4, maximum brightness of the Galaxy S5 seemed a smidge higher but this is something we'll look into in more detail when we get the phone in to review. Samsung also claims it has significantly improved the screen's colour gamut, which should result in a further lessening of the over-saturation commonly associated with OLED screens.

To my eyes, the screen looked pretty great, but we'll be examining the screen much closer soon. 

Samsung Galaxy S5 – Software

Like every standard Galaxy S-series phone, the Galaxy S5 uses custom Samsung interface laid on top of Android. However, Samsung has given its interface a revamp “inspired by the prism effect of diamonds”. What this amounts to is a reworking of the phone's icons, and a minor streamlining of the phone's look.

The icons are a bit simpler, and a bit cleaner. The interface still isn't the prettiest around, but it's a solid improvement. Samsung's interface is starting to look less cluttered, less busy. I think the Google Experience interface of the Nexus 5 tops it on the clean and clear front – and iOS 7 is a bit better than both. But Samsung is moving in the right direction.

As usual with a Samsung phone, the Galaxy S5 is loaded with a few extra apps. Key ones include S Health 3.0 – which we've already mentioned – and Knox (missing on our demo model, but apparently it'll come included). This is a security suite. But it's more concerned with connecting to company networks, not keeping your most secret secrets safe from members of your family.

Kids Mode is a new addition that is family oriented. It offers a special area in the phone that's kid-friendly and you can choose what goes into it. Here's kid mode - 

General performance seemed good, but Samsung has not confirmed the final details of the exact CPUs involved although the ones we get in the UK will almost certainly have a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor combined with 2GB RAM.

Samsung Galaxy S5 – Camera

The Samsung Galaxy S5 offers several camera tech improvements over the Galaxy S4. It has a higher-resolution 16-megapixel sensor, some new modes and a reworked HDR mode.

However, the most technologically interesting improvement is one that is in danger of being overlooked –the autofocus. Most phones use a basic contrast detect focusing system. This uses high-contrast areas in an image to judge when a photo is in focus, but is pretty ropey when you try to focus on an area of block colour. And it's generally not that fast. 

The Samsung Galaxy S5 doesn't use simple contrast detect autofocus, though. It has a hybrid system that uses a mix of contrast detection and phase detection. The latter is what is used by SLRs, and some compact system cameras. Phase detection enables the phone to reach its 0.3-second focusing times – although this naturally doesn't apply in tricky lighting conditions. However, in good lighting focusing speeds are seriously impressive.
To go with the super-fast autofocus, the Galaxy S5 has a redesigned HDR mode, with a new emphasis on speed. From what Samsung said, it appears that the HDR may create its shot from a single exposure rather than multiple ones – making it even more software-based, but easier and quicker. 

An extra mode that's new is selective focus, and this one is built-in. This lets you defocus the foreground of background, artificially creating a shallow depth of field effect. It works to an extent, but seems to work by simply using a software algorithm to separate near and far objects, rather than something cleverer. 

Samsung Galaxy S5 – Battery Life

Like previous S-series phones, you get pretty easy access to the Samsung Galaxy S5's battery. The back pops off, and the battery is there for the taking. It's a 2,800mAh battery, up from 2,600mAh in the Galaxy S4. 

Samsung claims the phone will last for 12 hours of looped video, where the Galaxy S4 lasts for up to 11 hours. It's not a game-changing improvement.
What is likely to be more of a bonus in day-to-day life is the new Ultra Power Saving Mode. This is an intensive low-power most that cuts out almost all phone functions but the basics like calls and texts. Samsung says it'll last for up to a day with just 10 per cent of battery left – if only in standby.

Samsung Galaxy S5 – Connectivity

Wireless connections are not the most interesting elements of a phone, but the Samsung Galaxy S5 has a few bits worth mentioning – don't switch off just yet. 

This is a 4G phone, naturally, has Wi-Fi ac support and a MIMO antenna array for better signal. It can also download from Wi-Fi and the 4G connection at the same time, for super-fast downloading
