Sony Xperia Z5 And Z5 Premium To Be Launched In India On 21 Oct
Sony seems to have skipped on the Xperia Z5 Compact for now.

Sony is finally ready to announce its new range of flagship devices in India and the date has been set for the 21st of October. The company has sent out media invites for the launch of its new Z series of smartphones called the Xperia Z5 and the Xperia Z5 Premium that were announced at the IFA back in September.

But it seems that Sony will only be unveiling the Z5 and Z5 Premium for the Indian market. But that does not mean that the Compact will never arrive. It's probably the Z5 Compact’s pricing (approx. Rs 54,964) that customers may not be able to justify, against the bigger Xperia Z5, which is probably the reason why Sony may have skipped on the same. The Xperia Z5 and the Z5 Premium are expected to come with premium price tags of Rs 59,970 and Rs 69,981 respectively, which keeping in mind the Apple iPhone 6s is not that expensive.

As for the Z5 range, India will indeed be seeing its first smartphone with a 4K display arrive by November. While the announcement does come a bit late, now that most of the year’s flagships have already been announced, it is indeed not too late, as many fans in India would love to try out a smartphone that’s sports a 4K display.

And yes, that would indeed be Sony’s sales pitch for the Z5 Premium. While we know that all apps and games would not be running at 4K resolution, Sony did mention at the IFA that it would be using the the 4K display resolution for images and video only. This is also a move to conserve battery life and deliver the 2 day Stamina standard as on every other Sony flagship.

Explained: Camera Improvements in the New HTC 10

With the HTC 10, the Taiwanese company is promising to undo the past wrongs in the cameras of its previous flagship phones. The camera has long a weak point in HTC devices. At first, HTC sacrificed image resolution in the M8 and made the size of individual pixels larger to capture more light (what HTC called Ultrapixel). But the resulting 4 megapixel images were often fuzzy, especially when cropped or enlarged. To fix the issue, in its next flagship - the M9 - HTC went with smaller individual pixels in a 20-megapixel camera last year, but it still underperformed in extreme situations, such as indoors and close-ups. In the HTC 10, the company attempts to strike a balance with larger individual pixels (1.55µm), but not as large as before and a 12 megapixel sensor in its camera coupled with a ƒ/1.8 lens. HTC accepts that in the imaging performance in the M9 was not up to the kind of spec of what they really like to see in a flagship. HTC is giving a slight boost to the selfi...

Flexible Camera Developed That Can Be Wrapped Around Objects

A team led by an Indian-origin professor at Columbia University has created a novel sheet camera that can be wrapped around everyday objects to capture images that cannot be taken with one or more conventional cameras. "Cameras today capture the world from essentially a single point in space. While the camera industry has made remarkable progress in shrinking the camera to a tiny device with ever increasing imaging quality, we are exploring a radically different approach to imaging," said Shree K Nayar, computer science professor at Columbia University. "We believe there are numerous applications for cameras that are large in format but very thin and highly flexible," added Nayar who graduated from the Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, in 1984. Nayar's team designed and fabricated a flexible lens array that adapts its optical properties when the sheet camera is bent. This optical adaptation enables the device to produce high quality images over a wide ...

Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) Leaked in Press Images

The anticipated successor to the popular Samsung Galaxy J1, tipped to be called the Galaxy J1 (2016), has once again been leaked in images on the Web. While in the previous leaks we have seen the unannounced smartphone in its Black colour variant, the new leaked image shows the handset in two additional colour variants.
