Sony Xperia Z

Introduced at CES 2013 held in Las Vegas earlier this year, the Xperia Z sensation among the public but not with experts and professionals. At first, the design is very successful elegance and sobriety, a screen of very good quality but also in terms of unique technologies that embeds HDR camera. The year 2013, the year of change for which Sony has seriously upset with the Smartphone market dominated by Apple and Samsung as Sony being the third. It starts well with the buzz caused Xperia Z. Indeed we talk across social networks, blogs, etc.


Xperia ™ Z kit includes incorporated battery, MH-headset Sony EX300AP, charger, micro USB cable for charging, synchronization and file transfer, and user documentation. Simplicity, sobriety, classic, is what emerges mainly at the sight of the Smartphone, a minimum of physical or sensory button. Power button remaining discreet and shortcut buttons integrated directly on the screen. There is no possibility for removing the battery unless it is all disassembled; aluminum and glass finish gives classic look. After it is a matter of taste, but we must admit that on the whole it is rather successful, it is not for me who says it is the success at the sight of the Smartphone. More quality Sony has not neglected here it is almost perfect. On the fluidity and speed, it is one of the best in the market. The large screen provides a viewing angle close to 170 °.

New on seal product and this is done at the cache ports which make access more difficult if you have no nails. No surprise, with its quadcore processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro and its graphics chip Adreno 320, associated with its large screen FULL HD or the function Miracast (mirror function on TV wifi).
The games run extremely well, even greedier. You have access to the large library of game virtual store PlayStation, Store Mobile offering games and other content specifically dedicated to Xperia Z. Benchmarks ... So for those who have no idea what good are these funny things, know that it is testing. Tests highlighting the computing power of the processor and graphics chip, the speed of Java in Web browsing, All this in order to note the software part of a Smartphone. This Android Smartphone is excellent in testing, beautiful graphics; it is indeed part of the best smart phones of the moment.


Sony has integrated its latest Exmor RS in its Xperia Z, like all smart phones, is difficult to achieve good record in low light, but it does not come out so bad compared to the competition. The high resolution of 12MP comes from its exclusive HDR sensor. It takes about late February, early March at a price of € 649 without subsidies. It will also support 4G based operators offering this network, NFC technology is also present. In conclusion, the Sony Xperia Z can cause a lot of change in terms of market share in the Smartphone sector; the battle will be very hard with Samsung and Apple. Each manufacturer of innovative, so innovation is good, but it must be that it is still useful to attract customers, gadgets and small changes are not enough to stand at top; there are other considerable factor to take into account.

Google Glasses Available Before 2014

Google  Glass will be marketed before 2014, the co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin, made an announcement at the TED Conference, and he assured that they should be available before the end of 2013. Present in April 2012, Google Project intrigue Glass: gimmick or technological revolution? These glasses augmented reality and futuristic design brings us one bit of science fiction. At a show Google, the web giant has offered a glimpse of its features without really revealing all. As in, we realize that this project is not a joke. Video Google has finally unveiled all possible uses of these glasses, for example, with voice and gesture control, we have the opportunity to take a video, a photo, communicate via video conferencing, translate a word, to send message, and even perform a search by pointing an item. Google the Glass feature a more seamless interface that displays the weather, time, a GPS route, depending on user needs.


According to him, the glasses will end connected to antisocial behavior imposed by the Smartphone. Finished noses glued to the screens, see emails, social networks, and more! "You want something that frees your eyes?" he added, "we wanted to liberate your ears." The Glass Google will thus have well equipped audio system that sound at the bone. The co-founder of Google has also announced that Google will emerge Glass much earlier than previously thought that is before 2014. Or even that they will be on the market by the end of 2013 at a price of less than $ 1,500 And of course, these glasses should then be compatibles with iPhones and Android Smart phones.

Always an interesting case to follow, rather attractive for people who are really interested in new technologies and have a little mind "geek", I still think that success is compromised, it is a great innovation. It is already quite comical to see the number of people staring at their Smartphone or tablet in public transport and in the street. Just imagine all these people with the same glasses, shot straight out of a science fiction movie ... it promises!

Sunscreen That Charges Smartphone By Wysips

A Smartphone that recharges itself, is what promises Wysips, Crystal photovoltaic a film which turns the screen into a kind of small solar panel. Matthew Broca's market leader in Europe Wysips furnished the details on the occasion of the presentation of the first functional Smartphone equipped with this technology. Wysips is a subsidiary of Sun Partner, who is a specialist photovoltaic solution based in Aix-en-Provence. "Crystal Wysips took three years of research and development," says Matthieu de Broca, "in 2011, we were limited to 70% transparency, and we now reach 90%." Suffice to say that the technology can be integrated into Smartphone.

At first glance, the film having a thickness of 500 microns and placed between the screen and the touch screen of the phone seems invisible. "You can notice a slight iridescence depending on the angle," says Matthew Broca - he had to say for the one sees. The brightness and contrast are affected by the presence of the film, but it is so marginal that it is impossible to notice without a Lumia 610 unmodified to compare. Better yet, the film can improve the performance of the screen, once when the component Wysips up a screen with poor viewing angle becomes a screen with a viewing angle of 180 ° with the optical properties of the film. They are focusing in that the component Wysips Crystal should not cause reliability problems and it can be operate from -25 ° to 70 ° and should function 7 years at least.

The Lumia 610 was not designed to handle the load from the movie Crystal (0.6 V), a housing containing a voltage booster is now required. "In the future, the component will be natively integrated with Wysips the phone battery or connected to the control circuit power of the phone," says Wysips. The sun, the power generated by the component Wysips reached 2.5 mW / cm ²: What win 2-4 minutes of battery every 10 minutes of exposure with this screen 3.7 "which offers an exhibition area of 39 cm ².

Power is obviously weaker indoors under artificial light. Crystal Wysips rather allows to consider not consume battery when the device is idle on a table, offset operations research network, or gain a few tens of minutes of battery that can be valuable later in the day. In the future, however, Wysips Crystal could be even more useful. If it can already adapt to all screen types (LCD, OLED, eInk, MEMS ...), it will soon be integrated with screens finest passing 300 microns thick this year. It can already generate 10 mW / cm ² with a transparency rate of 60 to 70%, but should be able to generate 5 mW / cm ² in a few months, and even 10 mW / cm ² in 2014 with a transparency rate of 90 to 95 %.

Wysips soon have production lines in Rousset. They will not be used to produce displays with, but rather "to continue research and development and to develop industrial processes." The French company works with screen manufacturers and devices so that they integrate themselves Crystal technology in their products: a first unit equipped should be sold before the end of the year - the name of the manufacturer is for the moment a mystery.

This film best suits the phones 3.5 "to 5", but can also be integrated into tablets and computers up to 13.3 "diagonal" by the third quarter of this year. "French company detailed more that it would go perfectly in watches, electronic labels and jackets, devices that consume little and accept many of the limitations of the technology Crystal - and therefore could happen in the future charger.

HTC One X

HTC has downplayed his presence at MWC, merely a small stand somewhat apart. The opportunity to spend some time with its new model, the One, presented a few days ago. The photos do not do justice to the  HTC One X, especially in the light purple and green stand HTC. With its all-metal unibody shell back rounded, HTC One X is just as luxurious as the iPhone 5. It is a little more reassuring, perhaps because it fits better in hand, perhaps because it has only one polished bevel. In all cases, it is an undeniable success.

HTC One X is another success in screen technology. HTC is restrained and did not exceed 4.7 ", but there cased 1920 x 1080 pixels, for a definition record 468 dpi. Add some bright colors but not too bright and good and you get, in a nutshell, a beautiful screen. Quantum leap between the screen and the Retina display is less impressive than a screen between non-Retina and Retina display, but remains sensitive.

The overall level of performance is excellent thanks to the 1.7 GHz quad-core processor, the new Snapdragon 600, accompanied by 2GB of RAM. The new HTC overlay, which reminds home screen and Windows Phone Flipboard, this mask a little power with transitions too long and too unwanted effects present. The home screen, called BlinkFeed, also leaves an impression mid-figue mi-raisin. It is supposed to give information at a glance, but the thumbnails are so large you have to scroll to see would not do three songs. It is a constant Sense: by wanting to do too much, HTC finally create noise, lots of noise. We can happily hide BlinkFeed.

The camera Zoe leaves a better impression. If it is impossible to judge the actual quality of the environment seen pictures of exposure, the ability to record a variety of animated pictures, with a duration of three seconds, is more interesting and useful than expected (the parents may appreciate). HTC burst mode is always practical to select the perfect shot from a selection of 20.

HTC One X will be available in March for less than € 700.
