Whenever a
"laptop or desktop" from Sony hits the FCC, with almost no identification at all, we must start to
place the pieces together ourselves. Simply model number SVD132A14L, we could
say that it's totally possible a Sony VAIO Duo and a 13" display at that.
Network wise, it shows dual-band WiFi in a/b/g/n options, Bluetooth and NFC.
To
add to the mystery is the label image pictured above. It does not share a great
deal, but it seems to complement that 13" slider we saw,
as seen from the back with the display hinge, and what looks just like the
angular front section.
Will there be a more substantial edition of the 11"
Duo Windows 8 hybrid in
route? We can only guess for now, what do you think? Leave your comments
bellow.

Since the Xbox One has now been unveiled, and as expected, comparisons are being made
between Microsoft's effort and Sony's PS4. Since we are still
quite a distance away from seeing either of the two giants available in the
market, it is not possible to start to draw conclusive comparisons between the
two up against one another with regards to performance, but taking into account
the hardware specifications, we are able to at the very least have a rough
notion of how both of these significant machines compare to one another.
Here,
we are going to utilize what information we are aware of to compare the
hardware and features, and despite this won't be an indication of anything,
it's just for reference, it will set the ball rolling.
For
consideration, we are also planning to include the specifications of the Xbox
360, in the mix, to try and get some perspective of how much work Microsoft has
contributed to bringing this enhanced box to the world:

Everyone
loves it when new phones are unveiled, even though they are just the usual, by
the numbers Android ones. Thankfully, the newest smartphone to be unveiled by
Sony is not part of that parcel. In reality, it's actually rather nice.
Named the Sony
Xperia ZR, or the Xperia A SO-04E in the event that you happen to reside in
Japan, the device itself is pretty awesome to look at, just similar to all of
Sony's smartphones released these days. The sweetness is significantly more
than skin deep though, and the ZR is waterproof up to 5 feet, which makes it
scuba-safe.
If you
have the nerve to take your mobile phone into the ocean with you, then you will
have the ability to film both HD movies and photos in glorious HDR due to its
13MP camera and Exmor RS image sensor. This translates to amazing 1080p video.
Under water. With a mobile phone.
The Xperia ZR
really comes to life in the specifications section beyond that camera, too.
Sony has equipped the ZR with a powerful Snapdragon S4 Pro four-core 1.5GHz
processor, 2GB of memory and most of the radios you'd expect including NFC and
LTE. The device runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This is now rather outdated.
All of
this is behind a 4.6" display with 720p resolution which includes an
OptiContrast OLED screen with BRAVIA technology and promises to lessen glare
even if in direct sunlight. That is clearly a bold claim, so we will take that
with a pinch of salt until proved otherwise. Still, that is what it promises.
To be able to
show the unit off, and the four colors it is going to be for sale in, Black,
Blue, Pink and Cyan, the Japanese corporation has released two ads showing the
latest device in all it's glory, among which features the smartphone being useful
for a quick shot of underwater filming in a swimming pool. We're uncertain we
would wish to take the device down to the nearest swimming pool for fear of it
being dumped, but you get my drift of the concept!
Sony's mobile
phones took a big spin recently, the Xperia ZR appears to carry on that trend,
particularly if you are a supporter of the waterproof mobile phone's idea and we
must state, it is one attractive mobile phone. There's a lot of competition on
the market nowadays though, even though this one really is alone when it
comes to smartphones you can go swimming with!
