Sony at MWC 2014

Sony at MWC 2014

With the Xperia Z1 only just launched, we wouldn't forgive Sony for taking it easy and just bringing along a couple of those for people to play on and some t-shirts to give away. Surely it can't be preparing to release another flagship smartphone already.

There could be a mini version of the Xperia Z1
Wrong. It seems the Japanese firm is going big, and going hard at MWC this year despite its Vegas-based exploits.
First up it seems almost certain that we're going to see a new flagship from the firm, which is going to irk Z1 owners who just shelled out loads for what was supposedly 'the best of Sony in a smartphone'.
Well, it looks like it will be outshone by the handset most are (understandably) dubbing the Xperia Z2, which will run Android KitKat according to the leaked video of the 'Sirius D6503' - which seems to be a better Z1.
A new UI, 4K recording and Background defocus which will "take photos with beautiful background blur like a DSLR camera" according to leaker Rimas Flyil.

A comparison photo of it and the Z1 show that it's a little taller than the Z1, which means it's probably got a larger display too - we're really hoping that we get something in a higher res too.
What else? Seems a refresh of the tablet as well, which means the Tablet Z will be getting a refresh - according to @evleaks, this will be the Sony XperiaTablet Z2, which means we're apparently looking at a powerful tablet wrapped up in a tiny 6.4mm frame.

Sat inside that impossibly thin frame is said to be a fairly standard 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor as well as 3GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Thankfully microSD support is also thrown in - making it very similar to what we've seen before but with some good spec bumps.
None of this is confirmed as yet, but if it does happen, Sony is in for a bumper time at this year's premium mobile phone-a-thon.

Samsung Level On Review

Samsung Level On Review Samsung is running on all cylinders in its new venture in the high-end mobile audio accessories space, where they recently introduced its Level series of accessories to compete against some of the more formidable and established names in the market – such as Beats, Monster, and Bose to name a few. Already, we’ve taken a close look at two products from its new line, the Samsung Level In and Level Box , that have proven to be surprisingly good when it comes down to audio quality. Hopefully, we can be assured that we’ll experience the same thing with the Samsung Level On, which as its name so happens to imply, is a pair of on-the-ear headphones. From the looks of it, Samsung has opted to go with a uniform design language with its new headphones line. Unlike the premium nature of its portable Bluetooth speaker, the Level Box, the Level On employs the same design characteristics as Samsung’s Level In headphones. Unfortunately, for a...
