Sony unveils Xperia Z3 Compact & Z3 Tablet Compact

Lazada Philippines

Sony’s Xperia Z3 isn’t alone as expected – it’s part of a family of Z3s, namely the Xperia Z3 compact, a smaller version with few compromises in specs, and the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, their newest tablet but this time, instead of sizing up at 10-inches, it’s with a smaller 8-inch display.

Both bearing similar designs, waterproofing, software features and the like, both devices carry a few differences from the Xperia Z3. Starting off with the Z3 Compact, the major differences that can be found here aside from the size is the resolution of 720p and the lower capacity 2GB RAM. The power however remains the same as it still hosts Sony’s 20 megapixel camera capable of 4K and the same 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 CPU.

The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (quite a mouthful if we may say) on the other hand is much closer to the Xperia Z3, being the company’s flagship tablet. The only biggest change here is the camera, which we welcome as cameras on tablets aren’t really the most important thing.

Local pricing and availability are yet to be announced so stay tuned!

Sony Yuga 5″ 1080p phone gets early preview

The long rumored Sony Yuga finally gets leaked, and an early preview from Mobile-Review gets published.

After some time of speculation, a lot of specs have finally been confirmed through the hands-on. Firstly, the Yuga will pack a 5-inch 1080 x 1920 display with Mobile BRAVIA engine technology, all powered by a quad-core S4 pro processor at 1.5 GHz and 2 GB RAM.

The device will also pack 16 GB of internal storage, with an option to expand it through a micro SD card slot. With all those good hardware, Sony has managed to fit in a micro HDMI port as an extra. The 2013 flagship phone also utilizes a micro SIM and the much-awaited 12 MP Exmor RS sensor.

Comments about the device were mixed. The display was told to be great, yet lacking good viewing angles. The camera was also said to be not much different from the one on the Xperia T, regardless of all the hype going on for the Exmor RS sensor. On the other hand, the device was said be made from plastic, but it conveyed a very premium character.

Keep in mind, however, that this review was based on a prototype unit, so things are still subject to change.
