New Sony Xperia Z Smartphone Introduce

More than just a smartphone – Xperia™ Z captivates from the very beginning.

Features

Display

A screen as impressive as HDTV – Full HD Reality Display Feel like you’re there with the razor sharp and super bright full HD screen. Xperia Z brings you the highest level of HD available – 1080 progressive scan, for incredibly crisp pictures and no jagged edges. Expertise from our BRAVIA® TV engineers goes into our mobile screens, to bring you the same quality you’d expect from a top quality HDTV. The 5” full HD Reality Display also has very high pixel density – 443 pixels per inch, for razor sharp pictures – and superior brightness. And with the wide colour gamut it gives you the widest colour spectrum, so you can view every detail in vivid colour.

                             

Camera

The world’s first Exmor RS™ for mobile with HDR video HDR for photos and videos captures natural colours in any light. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is an imaging technology used to capture clear photos against strong backlight. With HDR, the camera captures the same image at different exposure levels and layers them to create one optimised photo.

Xperia Z introduces HDR to video, so that you can film even in high contrast situations, like in front of a window or with the sun behind your subject.

Always the right setting – Superior Auto

Now it’s always easy to get a great shot. With Superior Auto, you don’t have to know the ins and outs of camera settings to make use of them. In Superior Auto mode, the camera combines Scene Recognition with high quality and high performance image processing technology (HDR and noise reduction) to automatically shoot with the optimal settings. And your device is automatically optimised for 36 different scenes, so you always get the best shot.

Stunning shots in any light — 13 MP camera with Exmor RS™ for mobile

The 13 megapixel camera is built with the same modules as leading Sony cameras. Exmor RS™ for mobile is an evolution of our Sony image sensor technology, with a next-generation BSI light sensor. By adopting the technology of luminance and colour noise reduction, we’ve created a camera that snaps highly detailed shots with low noise – even in challenging lighting conditions. You’re now also able to reproduce objects in more vivid colours and capture night images and faces in stunning clarity. Exmor RS™ for mobile includes HDR video, for clear shots even when your subject is backlit.

World’s only dual Exmor R for mobile camera

We’ve included the Sony Exmor R™ for mobile sensor on the full HD front camera, so you can take self-portraits or chat in lowlight conditions as well. And both the front and rear cameras support HDR photos.

Design

Minimal yet distinctive – OmniBalance design With Xperia Z, we introduce our new OmniBalance design. The design is focused on creating balance and symmetry in all directions. Xperia Z has subtly rounded edges and smooth, reflective surfaces on all sides, which are held together by an innovative skeleton frame.

Both the front and back are made of glass, with a seamless surface. Together with enhanced reflection coating on the top, bottom and sides, Xperia Z actually mirrors the world around you. OmniBalance design balances technology vs. design, letting you get so totally immersed in the content that the hardware disappears.

Quality craftsmanship

Xperia Z was designed in collaboration with Sony consumer electronics experts, for quality craftsmanship and consistent attention to details. Only premium materials were used throughout, like aluminium for the power and volume buttons and durable tempered glass for the front and back.

Super slim

We’ve eliminated a layer of air and brought the display closer to the lens, for added touch sensitivity and a smaller size. This construction, along with a new component layout and skeleton frame allows for a slimness of 7.9 mm.

Water and Dust Resistant

We tested the Xperia Z to make sure it can keep going even after 30 minutes under water. It can even withstand water jets. The high IP55 & IP57 rating means you can use it in the rain, take photos by the pool and easily clean it off from everyday spills and dirt.

We even put Xperia Z in a dust chamber for rigorous testing, to make sure its operations were unaffected.

Quick benefits:

• Water resistant up to 1 meter
• Resistant to water jets
• Dust resistant   

Conectivity

One-touch connectivity from Sony

Sharing with friends and connecting your world has never been easier. Based on NFC (near field communication), our One-touch functions connect one device to another in a single tap. No wires, cables, or fiddling with settings necessary.

       One-touch sharing

         Share photos, music and more between two phones,
         or between your phone and an NFC- enabled laptop.

One-touch listening

Play the music on your smartphone through a wireless speaker or wireless headphones.

One-touch mirroring

See movies, games and photos from your phone on your TV. Simply touch your smartphone to the remote from your BRAVIA® TV to activate screen mirroring.

How One-touch sharing works – learn more in the video.

From your smartphone to the big screen

Want to continue watching movies in HD quality when you get home? Or go from headphones to speakers? “Throw” content from your smartphone to your Wi-Fi-enabled TV through screen mirroring or DLNA, or send your tunes to a speaker via Bluetooth. Using “Throw”, your device finds the best way to wirelessly connect your smartphone to other devices. With an MHL cable, you can also mirror your phone’s full user interface on your TV and enjoy movies, games and more while charging.

Smart Connect

Make your life simpler by setting up how your smartphone behaves when it connects to other devices. Open your music player when you connect your headphones, organise your SmartWatch, or activate your alarm clock when your phone touches the charging dock. Smart Connect is the software that lets you manage all your smart accessories.

Processor & Battery

Lightning speed performance – Quad-core processor

We’ve matched the latest Sony software with the powerful Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Pro processor. This advanced quad core processor gives you maximum performance and speed without draining your battery – run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with no loading time, and stream videos without a break. The Snapdragon S4 Pro processor is asynchronous, which means each core is powered up and down independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t.

Quick benefits:

• Super-fast performance
• Better battery life
• Improved multitasking

Outstanding graphics

With the Adreno 320 GPU (graphics processing unit) you play the most advanced and visually stunning 3D games, and browse the web quickly and smoothly.

Quick benefits

• Twice as fast for gaming*
• Stutter-free web surfing

* Compared to previous version of Adreno

Ultra-fast LTE/4G technology

Snapdragon S4 Pro has a built-in LTE/4G modem. With it there are fewer dropped calls and speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G internet connections. Together with Sony’s expertise in radio technology, Snapdragon S4 Pro also ensures better reception in more places.

Better reception

Fewer dropped calls

Network speed (up to):

Always loud and clear — HD Voice

HD voice*eliminates background noise to improve voice clarity. That means that you can talk normally and be heard clearly, without having to raise your voice, even in noisy environments. Now you don’t have to shout to be heard, or try to find a quiet place for your conversation.

What’s the difference in sound?

* HD voice functionality is operator-dependant.

Significantly improve battery life with Battery STAMINA mode

Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps that you’ve had open are still running in the background, using unnecessary battery. Battery STAMINA mode saves you wasted battery drain by recognising when your display is off and turning off functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you touch the screen and wake up your phone, everything is up and running again.

Get only the important notices

With Battery STAMINA mode, Wi-Fi and data traffic are disabled during standby, but you still receive incoming calls, texts, and alarms. And since everyone has different needs, you can easily customise which apps you want to receive push notifications from even in standby mode. Facebook notifications on or off? It’s up to you.

HID Global Launches New Secure Identity Services the ability to replace security access badges with BlackBerry® smartphones

     

It’s no secret that we love Near Field Communication (NFC). What’s exciting at this point is watching some of the use cases come to fruition, and today in particular, the ability to replace security access badges with BlackBerry® smartphones. NFC is an innovative technology with many stakeholders and interested parties including enterprise customers, end users, financial institutions, carriers, and of course smartphone manufacturers. BlackBerry smartphones have been leading the way in mobile payments for some time, becoming the first smartphones to be certified by MasterCard® and Visa® for NFC-based payments, and now we’re first to be available as an access badge replacement solution. “RIM has proven to be a leader in NFC technology, and in bringing NFC solutions to market – we spearheaded the efforts in mobile payments. Now we are taking NFC beyond payments into the enterprise sector and partnering with HID Global®, an industry leader in physical access solutions” says Geoff MacGillivray, RIM Sr. Product Manager for NFC.

Late last week HID Global announced the availability of Secure Identity Services™, a comprehensive suite of web-based services for managing physical access credentials (read the HID press release for more info). Secure Identity Services is the enterprise’s first all-in-one web-based solution for credential provisioning and management. The platform provides businesses with the tools to create, use, and manage identities for traditional badges on plastic cards, for tokens, and for digital credentials on NFC-enabled BlackBerry smartphones beginning with models on the Verizon Wireless network: the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9930 and the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9370.
 

We’ve been dedicated to mobilizing and securing solutions to the challenges that organizations face since the launch of BlackBerry in 1999. Concerning physical access, we began with the BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader, which provides secure access to your BlackBerry smartphone and computer, and have now worked closely with HID Global to bring this expertise to physical access credentials.

What this means for you

Physical access to a building is a key element to the security posture of an organization; it’s important that the platform can be trusted implicitly. Encryption of data, security certifications, and VPN technology all contribute to the security of this solution on BlackBerry smartphones. “With our heritage in protecting our customers’ mobile assets, we already understand the security challenges at play here. It was a natural progression to bring physical access control to our mobile devices” says Michael K. Brown, Vice President of Security Product Management & Research at RIM®.

As an end user, you may soon be able to turn in that badge once and for all, centralizing your security access to your smartphone. For enterprise customers the centralized web-based management tool will provide a solution for badge replacement, employee turnover, tracking, and more.

This is a significant value-add to existing NFC-enabled BlackBerry smartphone deployments (including employees who bring their own BlackBerry devices to work). Alongside enterprise mobility management solutions, unified communication and collaboration, and the secure BlackBerry infrastructure, a solution from HID that allows you to replace your physical access badges is icing on the cake.

                                          

How does it work?

I asked our NFC product team this very question as soon as I heard the news. Access credentials are stored on an embedded secure element within a BlackBerry smartphone – and an HID Global app installed on the devices is able to call up this information and then utilize BlackBerry Trusted Service Manager to create a VPN connection to HID’s servers, allowing for remote management of this secure area and the credentials within.

A physical badge represents an additional set of credentials for your business to manage. When you integrate this with a BlackBerry smartphone, you bring it into the fold of device management that is already underway with BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. It’s an extension of your management and security capabilities to include these access credentials.

RIM Launches Blackberry 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook in canada on 9th August

              

Earlier today we announced the 4G LTE™ BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet, which will be available in Canada on August 9th and will become available in other countries and regions around the world in the coming months. With its ultra-fast 4G LTE wireless network support and 1.5 GHz dual core processor, this device delivers an improved performance experience. For those of you who work from home, travel frequently or who are constantly on the road and need wireless connectivity beyond Wi-Fi®, your PlayBook tablet has now arrived.

Experiencing the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet

When you’re running from one meeting to the next or trying to catch a plane, you need all of your information to be consolidated in one place as it arrives in your inbox. You need to have this information be easy to digest, organize, and filter. This is where the unified inbox of BlackBerry® PlayBook™ OS 2.0 provides serious benefit, with all of your emails, LinkedIn® messages, Facebook® notifications, and Twitter® mentions flowing simply and cleanly into the inbox.

Your flight information, hotel confirmation, and map to the conference center can be stored in the Print To Go® application, where you “printed” them from your PC to the PlayBook tablet as they were received. Information about who you’re meeting with, which may include people you may have never met before, is automatically culled for you from LinkedIn and stored in the Calendar application, giving you context and helping you be better prepared for your meetings.
Sure, hotels and airports generally have Wi-Fi®, but cabs, trains, city streets, and many restaurants are still gaps that need to be filled. For those with Wi-Fi enabled PlayBook tablets, the BlackBerry® Bridge™ app or the Mobile Hotspot feature with BlackBerry® 7.1 OS smartphones can help keep you connected. But with a 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook tablet you’ll have broader coverage and faster wireless access on 4G LTE while on the go (when a 4G LTE network is available).
When you’re back in the hotel at the end of your day, take some time for yourself. You’ll find amazing games for the PlayBook tablet on the BlackBerry App World™ storefront. You also shouldn’t have to worry about the mix of corporate and personal data, and neither should your organization; BlackBerry® Balance™ technology helps keep those data stores nicely separated within your PlayBook tablet.

Solving the Challenges of Mobile Device Management for Your Organization

You may have a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy within your organization, perhaps mixed with a few corporately-provisioned smartphones, and even a few special cases within your executive staff. There is little black and white and many shades of gray when it comes to the mobile landscape within many organizations today, both large and small. BlackBerry® Mobile Fusion is our solution to making sense of it all, designed to protect your data, help meet priorities of both employees and IT departments, and ultimately help to lower your total cost of ownership.

BlackBerry Mobile Fusion is designed to allow your organization to manage BlackBerry®, iOS®, and Android™ smartphones and tablets from a single unified interface, leveraging existing BlackBerry technology and new innovations to provide an all-in-one solution from a trusted and experienced provider that’s been delivering Mobile Device Management solutions to enterprise and government customers for more than a decade.
Combined with the BlackBerry® Device Service component of BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, your 4G LTE PlayBook tablet can be securely connected and fully integrated with common corporate mail servers like Microsoft® Exchange®, Lotus® Domino, or Novell® GroupWise®, helping to keep emails, contacts, and calendar appointments synchronized every step of the way so that you won’t miss a beat.

The Experience Doesn’t Stop Here

In future blog posts, we’ll be diving deeper into a fully optimized mobile office experience. Add in a BlackBerry® Mini Keyboard and the Citrix® Receiver for BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, for example, and you’ve got a serious powerhouse of productivity and functionality that can be far easier on the bottom-line (and easier to carry), than laptops or other on-the-go technology. The 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook will be pre-loaded with OS 2.0.1, which is also now available for Wi-Fi PlayBook owners as a maintenance update.
The 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook tablet is currently available in Canada from Bell, Rogers and TELUS. Get all of the details in our press release, and learn more on the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet web site. Data plans are sold separately.
Do you travel often for business? How would you use a 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook tablet? Share in the comments below.

* LTE connectivity is currently only available from a limited number of carriers in specific countries. Where LTE is not available, the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook tablet can automatically adjust to connect on HSPA+.

Nokia 8 WP(Windows Phone) 8 mockup

Tobias Pankraz imagine the future of Windows Phone 8 devices and created the Nokia 8 WP8 mockup, that you can see below. This is a sharp handset, with rectangular lines and a slab modern metals thrown into a tight shell. The phone has a very discrete camera and an elegant allure, so good job Tobias!

Nokia 8 runs Windows Phone 8, with those smaller tiles, medium tiles and wider, bigger tiles. There’s a 12 megapixel camera at the back and the device has at the bottom the audio jack, the microUSB port and a speaker grille, a design that may remind you of the iPhone 5. Up at the top there’s the earpiece and on/off button, while on the side we have the camera button and the volume buttons. The display is brilliantly integrated into the rectangular case of the Nokia WP8 concept.
If I were to speculate, I’d say this is a 7 mm thick smartphone, with a dual core processor, a 4.5 inch HD display, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The bezel of the device is extremely thin, almost non existing, fitting with the idea of ClearBlack Display. So, do you fancy this design, or is it too thin?

Nokia N9 S Tablet , is a Larger Nokia N9

Every time you’re going to think to yourself “this tablet looks like a larger phone”, remember that that’s basically what Apple did with the iPad and HTC with the Flyer. Anyway, here’s the Nokia N9 S tablet, designed by Imran Sheikh, who also envisioned some specs for this MeeGo slate.

Nokia N9-S tablet features MeeGo OS 1.2 Harmattan, a 1080p screen (Super AMOLED Capacitive Clear Black Display), 16/64/128 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM. There’s a 16 megapixel camera at the back with autofocus and dual LED flash, plus the ability to record HD video at 1080p and 30 fps. There’s also a secondary 5 MP camera with 1080p 30 fps capture ability. The battery is a dual Li-Ion 6000 mAh unit, with one of the battery units being hot swappable, a very original idea, I have to admit.
My only problem with this device is that its dual batteries will make it very heavy and bulky. Also, the camera doesn’t need to be so powerful, since people don’t actually use tablets to take pics, since they’re kind of… ashamed of doing that, because they don’t want to seem douches. And here’s a quote from the designer: “N9 S Tablet will also sport OpenMobile’s Application Compatibility Layer (ACL) , which will bring over 400,000+ Android Apps to this MeeGo Slate and is 100% compatible and all Android Apps run exactly as they do on an Android device”. Pretty cool, right?

Sony Experia with Tegra 3 Quad Core Processor

                
The latest Xperia concept, the Sony Xperia I make their first quad core phone Tegra 3. The design keeps the same rectangular and minimalistic look of other recent renders with the Sony branding on. This is an Android 4.0 smartphone, with a 4.5 inch display, a quad core Tegra 3 processor, 2GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. There’s also a 20 megapixel camera at the back with Xenon flash and I guess that the screen is a HD one. Add to that a front camera, most likely NFC and LTE and you’ve got some sort of upgraded Xperia Ion here.
Since Nokia already have a 41 megapixel cameraphone out there, that 20 MP sensor doesn’t stun anyone any more… The next stunner will be the 1080p display phone or maybe the one with a flexible screen, if that ever happens.

Samsung aims to become top three LTE network vendor

 

LIVE FROM GSMA MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2012: Samsung has set out its long-term goal for LTE, saying its target is to be one of the top three global infrastructure vendors in this market in 2013. By 2015 the Korean vendor is targeting a top three spot within the entire mobile infrastructure market, now that it has finally added GSM to its product mix.

It will have its work cut out: the LTE market is already dominated by Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia-Siemens; according to Infonetics Research, Alcatel-Lucent was edging slightly ahead of Ericsson in the LTE equipment segment in Q2 2011.

IP Hong, VP of marketing at Samsung, said during a roundtable at Mobile World Congress that the Korean company now has eight commercial LTE contracts – all outside of Europe to date - and has deployed “tens of thousands of base stations”. He said the vendor has a “double-digit” market share now, and aims to increase that further this year.

He is also confident that Samsung will also be able to achieve its target through organic growth: “We already have the entire product line and can achieve it on our own,” he said. He added that the vendor sees considerable benefits from the fact that it is now one of the few vendors to have both a device and networks division.

Samsung said it had sold 1.7 million devices in Q4 2011 and had 41 percent of the market, making it the market leader in this field.

BARCELONA, Spain –  Nokia introduces three new Asha phones today: the Nokia Asha 302, 203 and 202.
Mobile Congress
                                          
STOP. You already know from the name: they don’t have the headline specs that the tech press adores. So instead of jumping right into the figures, let’s take a moment to put these releases into context.
Which is the fastest growing mobile market? Where is the hunger for smartphone-style experiences the highest? Who is using most Internet services from a mobile phone?
It’s not the US or Western Europe, that’s for sure. The most likely new entrant to the mobile Internet lives in the South and East of the globe. From the stats, he or she is an urban teenager in the likes of Indonesia, India, China, Brazil or Mexico.
They’re already connected, onto the Internet, social networks and instant messaging.
And that’s where the new Nokia Asha phones come in. They address the needs of – quite literally – tens of millions of users.
Since their launch in October, Asha phones have reached 100 countries – and the Nokia Browser gets an astounding four new users every second.
And these phones are getting smarter all the time – With Mail for Exchange on the Asha 302, it’s never been easier to do business – and there’s a great gift on the Asha 203 and Asha 202 too: An exclusive games package from EA that means they’re a lot of fun.

The Nokia Asha 302 is a premium quality QWERTY phone that is perfect for young professionals who need to communicate for business, and love to stay in touch with family and friends.
Metallic touch points and a full QWERTY keypad make text input a pleasure, and fast one-click access to email, chat and social networks means that you never need to be out of touch.
For the first time on a Nokia Series 40 phone you can use Mail for Exchange to easily manage all your business emails and synchronise all your contacts and calendars – while still staying connected to all your favourite social networks, like Whatsapp and Facebook through Nokia Social which lets you view all your feeds, and post updates, right from your homescreen.
