Sony Xperia Z2: 4K

Summary: Android 4.4 KitKat, more RAM, a bigger battery and a faster processor - Sony takes the wraps off its slimmer, lighter Xperia Z2 smartphone and tablet.

Sony has unveiled updates to its flagship mobile products with the waterproof Xperia Z2 phone and tablet at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.


For the Xperia Z2 smartphone, Sony has stuck with the Z1's underlying design, although the new device is slightly slimmer and lighter, and the screen's marginally bigger.


The real changes come in the full HD 5.2-inch display, which offers brighter colours thanks to Live Colour LED technology, clearer sound quality through Sony's Front Surround, and a 20.7-megapixel camera capable of shooting video in 4K.


The Z2 uses the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system and is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, with 3GB of RAM, a 3,200 mAh battery.


Because of the Snapdragon 801 processor, the Z2 should run faster than its predecessor but internal storage remains the same at 16GB.


Sony's Z2 Android KitKat-based, 10.1-inch screen Z2 tablet also runs the 801 and is 0.5mm slimmer than its predecessor at 6.4mm.


Ovum senior analyst Nick Dillon said the Xperia Z2s are modest updates to Sony's flagship smartphone and tablet devices.


'But their importance in helping to re-establish Sony's brand and design credentials should not be discounted,' Dillon said.


'Design refinements, improved screens, and 4K video capture are clearly incremental improvements.'


Dillon said the flagship devices embody the One Sony philosophy set out by president and CEO Kazuo Hirai two years ago, combining technology from Sony's TV, audio, camera, and gaming divisions and content from its media business.


'Hirai has finally managed to make Sony worth more than the sum of its parts - something that evaded his predecessor,' Dillon said.


Sony also launched the mid-range Xperia M2 handset, featuring a 4.8-inch qHD screen with a 960x540-pixel display, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon and an eight-megapixel camera.


The Xperia Z2 smartphone and tablet are due to go on sale in the UK and wider Europe in March, with Sony yet to announce wider availability.


In the UK, Vodafone and EE confirmed they will be offering Sony's Xperia Z2 on their networks.

Image
The majority of users are waiting for the next smartphone from Apple - iPhone 6 – this year. Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning. Global audience perceived iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 much cooler than its early models New iPhones will not cause that “wow”-effect, which was in the beginning, when Steve Jobs' presentations caused a delight and admiration of every new Apple gadget. Some leaked photos of iPhone 5S prototype show that it does not differ from its predecessor at all. Therefore, all hopes for something radically new in design and features are laid on iPhone 6.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
