3D renders of Sony Xperia XZ3

3D renders depicting Xperia XZ3’s back and front have been created by the render-makers CompareRaja and leaked online by OnLeaks. Among the most interesting things about the leaks are the glass back, lack of headphone jack and, surprisingly, lack of dual camera. The last detail is a bit jarring, since earlier reports suggested that the device will have a dual rear camera. Oh well. Above the camera there is a LED flash and below it we can find a fingerprint sensor.Device measures 158.3 x 73.08 x 9.9/10.1 mm; its display has an 18:9 aspect ratio. Other specs of the Xperia XZ3 are ...

Wow – Sony promises us a 48mpx camera

The IMX586 sensor is supposed to not only have more megapixels than any smartphone camera in the history, but also make the sharpest pictures on the market. People in the know-how foresee a few issues with these claims, though. They believe that too many megapixels of the sensor will make it so that the small pixels do not catch enough light, which in turn will considerably lower the the quality of the pictures. This problem can be bypassed by equipping the camera sensor with a 4x Bayer filter (a net of basic colour filters which make four pixels of the same colour connect into one larger ...

Facebook and Instagram plan on banning all of their 13-years old or below users

Technically speaking, only people over the age of thirteen can create FB or Instagram profiles, but the thing is that nobody is really verifying their age – until now. Both services will now block profiles suspected of being owned by people younger than 13. In case of moderators being wrong, access to the profile will be returned upon showing the administration a proper identity card.We do not know how exacly will the verification process look like. It can be assumed to take a lot of work on the moderators’ end; it will probably also significantly reduce the population of both ...

Swiss town replaces its church bell with ringtones, or where is your god now

Lucerne, Switzerland. A church bell of the town’s small catholic church is being renovated, but the faithful still need their ol’ and trusty bell to let them know when it is noon. How did the church solve this issue? It asked the, of all people, art students of the nearby college for help, and the students kind of delivered. What was their solution? Why, to install a loudspeaker in the church’ tower and have it blast smartphone ringtones, of course. What did you expect? Ringtones played by the church include the iPhone’s highly recognizable Marimba tune, which is ...

Better late than never – Skype can now record conversations

And all it took Microsoft to implement this option was fifteen years. Truly, the OS giant of personal computers is a force to be reckoned with… The record feature is to be implemented until the end of July. It will inform the other side of the conversation of being recorded – it is unsure whether that side will have to agree to it or will they be presented with fait accompli. Recorded conversations will be kept in the cloud (where Microsoft employees will probably spend lovely hours listening in on us, because that is what evil corps do). These conversations will then be ...

BlackBerry KEY2 Lite is coming. What do we know about it?

BlackBerry is preparing to strike into the mid-tier smartphone range with its KEY2 Lite. Thanks to Evan Blass, leakster extraordinaire, we now know… very little about it. All that mister Blass has shared about this device is that it will be availble in red, blue and copper colour variants, that it will continue the QWERTY tradition of its predecessors and that it may or may not debut on IFA 2018.
