Sony Xperia GX and his first picture taken

The Sony Xperia GX is the new smartphone Android by Sony that is going to be placed in the highest among smartphone Android of the moment, with a nice processor and with technical features that make it really interesting. Very particular is the choice of Sony to equip the device with a13-megapixel camera , which makes it very attractive arousing the curiosity of many users, especially considering that the cameras and lenses that Sony adopts in its smartphones are really first-rate.

Just for those who were curious to discover the photographic quality of the Sony Xperia GX , we propose a picture taken on the handset through which you can make a first idea of the quality of the photos, even though we are absolutely aware that you need many more trials in order to give a more accurate evaluation. Here is an image taken from the device.

The image has a resolution of  4128 × 3096 pixels and was taken in an environment with ideal sunlight conditions, and perhaps this is not very clear if you zoom complete. It must be said that the smartphone will be marketed initially in Japan and then find a place on the shelves of stores in other countries, including European ones. The image also was taken by a person who was in the Japanese telecommunications company  NTT DoCoMo , which might suggest the launch of the smartphone through this operator.

So, what do you think?

Sony Xperia Play at working on a dual-keyboard?

This item comes directly from the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) has published a patent filed by Sony in 2010 on a smartphone with a mechanism to double slider , that maybe one day we'll see on a device the Xperia series.

 

The hypothetical smartphone in question will then be equipped with a QWERTY keyboard and is the gamepad typical of the Xperia Play, all in addition to a touchscreen of course. When the first mechanism is actuated, then you can also turn on the second (the first slider will be at the keyboard), but when they both were shifted, then it will be possible to include the first to have only the gamepad, or vice versa.

It is not known if this concept will become a reality that we touch in our stores or when they arrive in the meantime, what do you think? Would you buy a similar device?

Gingerbread Ice Cream Sandwich vs. Android: pros and cons according to Sony

After confirming the upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich for the entire 2011 range of online Xperia interesting statements coming directly from the developer section of Sony that clearly describe what the advantages and disadvantages in adopting the new operating system. The agonizing wait for the release of version 4.0 may in fact weaken slightly for all terminals Xperia owners who can not rely on a hardware exception.

Sony does not want to play down expectations for the update that will bring several new features on the devices, but is keen to stress that the level of stability achieved by Gingerbread is really great and not comparable to ICS, obviously still immature.

The Xperia range 2011 has an average of 1-1.4GHz CPU and 512MB of Ram , the resources that allow upgrades but also require an optimization that does not preclude good performance. Ice Cream Sandwich is bringing many new features as seen in from a new look, a UI based on Holo, Face Unlock for terminals with front camera, a book that has more contact information and much more.

This is in contrast to a system designed around devices like the Galaxy Nexus (SoC TI dual-core processor with 1Gb of Ram), hence the difficulty in adapting the Qualcomm SoC (smartphone Xperia 2011) with specifications mentioned above, which show no doubt a consuming more resources than is the case in Gingerbread:

Many App use a significantly greater amount of RAM in ICS. For example, in the web browser and is particularly evident in our measurements is shown using a 20/30 Mb in more than Gingerbread. In our studies we have also seen that the transactions in writing and reading of the SQL database gets more time in the ICS, which slows down applications.

 Another important change is related to ' hardware acceleration , supported in the latest distribution from the GPU which provides an interface more smoothly with a greater demand for Ram:

Tests on our applications have shown that such settings that uses 1-2Mb of RAM more and requires more time in starting with HW acceleration. Another effect is that it can in some cases contribute to the reduction of battery backup.

To overcome these drawbacks Sony is equipping an Ice Cream Sandwich Performance Assistant , which will aim to keep an eye on the exploitation of resources and leave us to easily close the instances unnecessary, but can not do anything, for example, the acceleration hardware when playing videos that may adversely affect the autonomy compared to Gingerbread.

We are told, now Sony has a surprise for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play user. Sony announced the launch of an Android 4.0 a beta ROM for these users, so this focus on the games Sony Ericsson mobile phones can also enjoy the pleasure of ice cream sandwiches.

Sony promised upgrade to the Android operating system launched in 2011 Xepria phone. Sony Xperia Arc, s,, NeoV and Ray several phone upgrade the Android operating system.

However, Sony will not provide technical support, service or warranty for the Beta ROM, and Xepria Play mobile phone users need to unlock the bootloader in order to install this ROM.
