MWC 2017: Xperia XZ Premium Announced

Sony’s Xperia series of flagship phones come to mind when we think of a premium Android phone. Not to mention the Xperia phones also come with the ‘Premium’ tag itself, to remind the users what they’re carrying is something extraordinary. The Xperia XZ was made exclusive in Nepal in Dec last year and it was a pure beauty when you looked at it. But it was all last year, today, the shiny new Xperia XZ Premium is made official at the MWC.The ‘Premium’ tag on Sony phones is similar to the ‘s’ tag on the iPhone’s model. Not much has changed on Premium despite a few upgrades. Looks wise the phone is pretty similar to the XZ and the only distinction is the new mirror Chrome finish which we saw on the Z5 Premium. Chrome finish is one of the most compelling premium colors which is just an eye candy. But looks is not what the Xperia XZ Premium is made for, the 19MP camera equipped with the phone named Motion Eye is capable of recording Slo-Mo video at 960 frames per second at 720 resolution which is insane! Not only that, the camera also comes with its own memory which starts capturing photos in the background as soon as it detects motion and when the shutter button is pressed it pulls the image which it had already taken, resulting in zero shutter lag. The camera is also said to have a great low-light performance and anti-distortion features. Also, the phone comes with a dedicated shutter button.

Xperia XZ Premium comes with a 5.5inch screen with the world’s first 4K HDR display resulting in insane 801ppi. With the HDR display, colors will be brighter, sharper and punchier. And it has partnered with Amazon for the 4K HDR contents which the users can enjoy on their phone. But like the Xperia Z5 Premium, the display is quiet, not 4K. It shifts the resolution to 4K only when you are viewing 4K contents and other times it will switch back to Full HD. The phone will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 835 Chipset and comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage, also offers micro sd card slot for expansion. The phone also keeps the headphone jack alive and comes with a USB C port. It sports a side mounted fingerprint sensor which acts as both power/lock button. XZ Premium is also IP68 water resistant.

Xperia XZ Premium runs on the latest version of android 7.1 Nougat and is backed up by 3,230 mAh battery which seems relatively small for all the power that it’s packing. It will come in three colors, Chrome, Ice Blue and Black. Despite an early preview, the phone won’t be launched until spring and the price is expected to be over $800.

ZTE Gigabit Phone: World’s First 5G Smartphone with 1Gbps download speed

Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017, the world’s largest exhibition for the mobile industry, had exciting first impressions as expected. Right from the Day 0, we started getting along with the phone launch events. The first launch was of the Blackberry Keyone. Then pre-launches were followed by that of the LG G6, Huawei P10/P10 Plus, and Nokia 3/5/6. But what is more exciting about this year’s MWC is the ZTE Gigabit Phone. This is the world’s first phone that comes with 5G compatibility and supports download speeds of up to 1Gbps.

ZTE Gigabit Phone: How did it achieve 1Gbps download speeds

The main reason behind this new phone with insane mobile data speed is the network modem used in its chipset. The phone houses the Qualcomm’s newest chipset and that’s the Snapdragon 835. This chipset features an integrated Snapdragon X16 LTE modem. The phone managed to get up to 1Gbps speed due to the 4*4 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology and 256-Quadrature Amplitude (QAM) Modulation.

The phone is on display in Barcelona, Spain. However, this phone won’t go for sale to the consumers. So, it’s like a concept phone that managed to be more than just a concept phone.

Moreover, the ZTE Gigabit Phone can be taken as a hint to the future. It’s showing us 5G is getting nearer. But can this be called a “pure 5G” phone? Well, for now, let’s just say it is a 5G capable phone. It is in the sense that 5G standard is yet to be finalized. And major network carriers worldwide are about to test the 5G in the year 2017/2018. Hence, the 5G can be expected to go global by 2020.

Coming back to the 1Gbps download speed the phone supports, it is ten times faster than first generation 4G that’s still in use today. It’ll come handy while live streaming 360-VR videos, instant cloud access and downloading HQ audios and videos in time lesser than a second. Hence, this phone is a great achievement in mobile data connectivity.

MWC 2017: Nokia 3310 is back; so is the Snake game!

Before Android smartphones and iPhone took over the world, Nokia was leading the smartphone world. The build quality, durability and battery life of Nokia mobile phones came second to none. And the fact that the Finnish company had sold around 126 million of its Nokia 3310 proves just that.

And now, Nokia’s classic is making a return, in a more revamped form. Thanks to the Finnish startup company HMD Global, the Nokia 3310 will be available in Q2 this year.

Before writing anything, I would like to mention that the device will come with the beloved Snake game pre-installed. Oh, and don’t you worry smartphone users, the game is now available on Facebook Messenger too!

Specs wise, the new Nokia 3310 is a basic form of a mobile phone in this era of smartphones. The device sports a 2.4-inch QGVA display. It runs on Nokia Series 30+ out of the box. On the storage front, the Nokia 3310 comes with 16MB of onboard storage that can be expanded up to 32GB via a memory card slot.

On the optics front, the device houses a 2-megapixel rear-facing shooter with LED flash. It will only support 2G SIM cards. Other features include a pre-installed FM Radio, Bluetooth 3.0, and an MP3 player.

A not-so-huge 1200 mAh removable battery powers the device. Well, even though the battery is small, the device has up to 22.1 hours of maximum talk time and a standby time of 31 days. Plus, you won’t be wasting your battery life on apps like Instagram and Facebook. The battery life of the Nokia 3310 is surely one of the selling points HMD Global is cashing on.

The Nokia 3310 will be available in four colors when released.

I personally didn’t like the revamped design of the device. It looks extremely weird and out of shape. But it sure has brought back some memories. The old Nokia 3310 was the first mobile phone I used. The Snake game and the FM Radio was missed. And I wish HMD Global had featured the Space Impact II game in the new device too!

Here’s everything you need to know about the all new Nokia 3310:

2.4-inch QVGA display
Rear Camera: 2MP with LED flash
Operating system: Nokia series 30+
Internal Storage: 16MB
Expandable Storage: Up to 32MB
Bluetooth 3.0, FM Radio, MP3 Player
1200 mAh removable battery

LG has claimed that this device is for the ones, who are in pursuit of perfection. LG G6, the newbie ditched the modular design carried by its predecessor LG G5. However, it came up with aesthetic metal and glass body, non-removable battery, astounding camera and a very new aspect ratio. It will not be an exaggeration to mention that the manufacturers have primarily focused on device display while making the new LG G6.

The device seems undoubtingly astounding in the solid Aluminium frame with Gorilla Glass on the front and the back. It also bears USB-C port (fully waterproof), a single speaker and mic on the bottom. The device also has rounded corners with a larger display in a hand-adjustable size. The fingerprint scanner of the phablet resides on the black just beneath the dual-camera setup.

Display of a smartphone is what really matters in a smartphone because the screen is the focus point of a smartphone. Everything we do is centered on the screen. So, we all want is a larger screen, which displays the things we need to see fitting perfectly on the screen. This is not impossible; however, it comes with a downside. Along with a larger screen, the device bears greater dimensions making us difficult to carry on our pockets and to hold and use with one hand. To evade this problem, the nascent LG G6 comes with a larger display of 5.7 inches that fits perfectly in our hand. This has been possible since the top and bottom bezels are shrunk in the LG G6.

The new descendent of LG family comes with Quad-HD resolution with Full Vision display. The pixel density of 564 PPI is great but the aspect ratio in this smartphone seems quirky. However, the LG team has explanations for it. According to them, this new aspect ratio is close to the direct eye vision. They explained that this aspect ratio would be pleasing to the eye than long and narrow aspect ratio of 21:9. On the question of difficulty for the users on this new kind of display, the speakers mentioned that Amazon and Google Play have been working with this kind of display. In addition, they also assured that the users could expect no difficulty with this display because of its compatibility. The makers also boasted LG G6 as the first smartphone to have Dolby vision / HDR 10.

The phablet is powered is Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, which is a Quad-core (2×2.35 GHz Kryo & 2×1.6 GHz Kryo) CPU. LG G6 works on Android Nougat (v7.0) version flavored by LG UX UI 6.0 on the top. On the optics side, LG G6 sports dual-camera setup on the back each of 13MP. The setup will be capable of shooting wide-angle photos and videos. The front is also capable of shooting wide-angle photos and videos and has a Megapixel count of 5MP.

The battery on the device is 3300 mAh non-removable battery, which is an upgrade to its predecessor. In order to shorten the company with wall charger, the device also inherits Quick charge 3.0. For the safety and reliability of the device, Ian Hwang, the Product Planning Director of LG electronics mentioned that device is tested with penetration test, shocks and force tests. For the heat dissipation, Copper heat pipe and air gap around the battery is provided. The device also bears an IP68 certification for its dust and water resistant body. The LG G6 was brought in three color variants: Mystic white, Astro black, Ice platinum. However, the price and availability of the device have not been talked at the event.

Scorpion 3: World’s First fully-manned Hoverbike

When it comes to the word “Hover”, it is a fascinating one in the tech industry. We have been seeing many concepts and prototypes on the internet. But, very few seemed near to perfection and reality. Out of all those, the E-hang seemed impressive right from its introduction. We’ve been seeing E-hang being showcased in three CES in a row right from 2015. E-hang, fully autonomous flying vehicle that can transport one passenger has been getting a lot of attention since its first introduction in 2014. But, Hoversurf, the Russian startup, is now becoming the next name to be taken when taking about the hoverbike. The company has recently released the trailer of its coming commercial hoverbike on YouTube. It is the first of its kind that lets a man fly it just like one rides a motorbike.

Scorpion 3: You can fly it but should you?

The Scorpion 3, the World’s first manned hoverbike, boasts the frame design of a dirtbike. Instead of wheels, it has four propellers just like any other flying drones. The best part is, the man flying this aircraft will have full manual control. The rider (or should I say the pilot) can surf in the mid-air, take turns and accelerate up to the speed of around 50km/hr. Moreover, the craft is designed to fly as high as 10 meters.

This air-borne electric powered craft runs on in-house software that has different safety programming embedded in it. This single seated quadcopter can carry a weight of up to 120kg. Flying the Scorpion 3 looks thrilling but is it safe? That’s the real question to be answered.

At the end of the day, I think it’ll be safe to say it is a drone that can fly a man with it. Well, drones, we’ve seen many releases and many came with the issues. Take, for example, the Karma drone from GoPro which was recalled after 16days of its release. The drone started falling out of the sky for no known reason. What will happen when the Scorpion 3 will have such issues? The damages such issues are gonna create are unthinkable. We’re talking about lives here. Plus, those sharp metal propellers rotating at such speed could easily chop off your legs. So, for those excited to ride on Scorpio 3 when it becomes commercially available, all I wanna say is just think twice.
