And it looks good. These are the specification of this earlier unannounced Xperia smartphone:– 1280 x 720 screen resolution (okay, that isn’t all that great),– Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU (neat),– Adreno 540 GPU,– 8mpx front and rear cameras,– 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM,– Android 8.0 (woo!).It seems to be a mixed, if overall cool, bag. Low max screen and camera resolution does not make me feel optimistic, but sharp CPU, large memory and newest Android OS do. According to some, small screen size is caused by the fact that (reportedly) the device is actually a ...

Ohio goes high-tech, or how the state’s new budget allows delivery robots on sidewalks
Citizens of the state of Ohio, get ready to get tech-y! John Kasich, Governor of Ohio, has just signed a new budget. This budget contains a provision that allows delivery robots to travel sidewalks, as well as crossroads, throughout the state. Putting it simply, delivery robots can now move freely across the state. Ohio is the fifth American state to permit it, the first four being Idaho, Florida, Wisconsin and Virginia. The statute was promoted by Starship Technologies, a UK-based startup robot manufacturer. In other words, it was mainly because of them that the provision has passed. ...

Samsung is the most trusted brand in Asia – sixth year in a row
Market research company Nielsen has conducted a survey under the title of ”Asia’s top 1,000 brands 2017”. Its conclusion is somewhat surprising – despite all the exploding batteries and factories catching fire (okay, it was just one factory), Asians seem to still put more trust in Samsung than into any other company. It is especially surprising when one considers that the survey was not limited to Asian companies and firms such as Nokia or Apple were also included – competition was large and strong.Survey was conducted online and included over six thousand ...
Galaxy J5 Pro, a new mid-ranger by Samsung, officially announced
Announced in Thailand earlier today (global release is most probable), Galaxy J5 Pro is basically a slightly updated version of Galaxy J5 (2017). So, it is an update of an update. Hm. Anyway, the only difference between the two is their memory capacity; J5 (2017) had 2GB RAM and 16GB storage, while J5 Pro has 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. Is more memory worth the phone’s price, which is roughly 294 American dollars? You be the judge.Specification:– 5.2′, 720p Super AMOLED display,– 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage,– Exynos 7870 CPU, 8-core, 64 bit,– 13mpx front ...

Ocean Life – new smartphone that HTC is reportedly working on. Edge Sense included!
Looks like HTC wants its Edge Sense to stick. Some thought that U11 will be the only foray into the Edge Sense technology made by the company, but now we know that HTC is, in fact, working on a mid-range device that will adopt this tech. Source of the news is the same person who already leaked info on U Ultra and U Play phones, so it is safe to assume that he/she is right this time, too.What will be Ocean Life’s (this is HTC’s internal name – phone will most likely come out under a different one) specification? What we know makes it stick out as a pretty good ...
Summer vs. electronics, or how to save your smartphone from high temperatures
Summer! Time to get out and grab some tan (or to get sweaty and angry in public communication. Eff my life). Heat can be detrimental to a human body, we all realize that, but do we all also know that high (and low) temperatures are bad for electronics? Our wee little smartphones are relatively delicate tools and extreme temperatures can easily harm them – especially if their users do not know how to treat them. That is why I have decided to put down a small list of things to (not) do with your mobile on summer.1. Don’t charge your battery to the brim, or, if you REALLY have to, ...
