En plus des smartphones Xperia Z et Xperia ZL, le constructeur japonais Sony nous préparerait un modèle Xperia ZP, également connu en interne sous le nom HuaShan.
Aux dimensions 13,1 x 6,7 x 1 centimètre pour un poids de 155 grammes, il s’agirait d’un smartphone 4,6 pouces animé par un processeur ARM double cœur à 1,7 GHz, le modèle Qualcomm SnapDragon S4 Pro MSM8960T, et doté d’une solution graphique Adreno 320.
Sous environnement Android – Jelly Bean a priori, et peut-être Key Lime Pie par la suite –, celui-ci propose un affichage multitouch avec une définition 1 280 x 720 pixels, de la capture 8 Mégapixels et un espace de stockage de 8 Go que l’on peut compléter grâce à une carte mémoire MicroSD.
Il profiterait d’une conception mêlant l’aluminium pour sa façade et le plastique pour son dos.

Vilim Plužarić created a Nokia concept phone called FX800, that has become famous on a couple of blogs and sites over the past days. We’re dealing with an unique smartphone, that started from the idea of the Nokia 8910 Titanium from back in 2002, in a more evolved version. This is a 4.65 inch smartphone with a titanium unibody case and obviously Windows Phone 8 on board.
Nokia Lumia FX800 features a 4.65 inch ClearBlack AMOLED HD screen, a laser cut body and measures just 8 mm in thickness. It packs a 1.5 GHz dual core Snapdragon S4 processor and 1 GB of RAM, plus 16 GB of storage. These specs are very much like the ones of the Lumia 920 in real life, to which the designer added a 12 megapixel camera. The screen supports a 720p resolution and its design seems to be a combo between the Nokia 8910 Titanium, Nokia X7 and the N9 model from last year.
People have been criticizing a lot the user of plastic materials like polycarbonate for modern handsets. They want the styling of the iPhone 5 with glass and aluminum and I expect that future Windows Phone and Android devices will take that requirement into account. So, are you for titanium or plastic materials? Have your say in the comments below!
Whilst the Sony Xperia Tablet Z was officially announcedyesterday, it was announced for NTT DoCoMo earlier today. The Xperia Tablet Z (SO-03E) is expected to launch in the middle of March in Japan, pricing remains a mystery for now. The tablet will launch in both black and white colours.
The Xperia Tablet Z adopts the OmniBalance design as seen in the Xperia Z and Xperia ZL smartphones, it also sports the signature aluminium power button. The tablet has a lightweight fibreglass reinforced back panel with steel-like properties according to the company. It also has a couple of exposed pins on the chassis, so that it can be used with a dock without removing port flaps.
The specifications are the same as we saw yesterday. The Xperia Tablet Z has a 10.1-inch (1920 x 1200) OptiContrast display with Bravia Engine 2, a APQ8064 Snapdragon chipset (1.5GHz quad-core processor and Adreno 320 graphics), a water/dust resistant chassis (IPX5/7 certified) and is just 6.9mm in thickness, weighing 495g. It runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
Specific Japanese features include a One Seg tuner and the latest POBox Touch 6.0 Japanese conversion engine optimised for tablets (the Xperia Z (SO-02E) smartphone has POBox Touch 5.4). It is interesting to note that the Xperia Tablet Z does not come with an infra-red sensor. [Update - It seems like it does have an infra-red sensor, despite the fact that it is ommitted from the official spec sheet.]
Other confirmed features include 32GB storage, 2GB RAM, microSDXC memory card slot, 6000mAh battery, a back-illuminated 8.1MP Exmor R camera, a 2.2MP front-facing Exmor R camera, S-FORCE Front Surround 3D (surround sound), NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and LTE. There is no word on a global launch, but perhaps we’ll hear some positive news on this at MWC next month.
Petit test pour le mode rafale de l'appareil photo numérique intégré au smartphone Sony Xperia Z.
Au mois de janvier dernier, dans le cadre du salon CES de Las Vegas, Sony a dévoilé un smartphone haut de gamme répondant au nom de Xperia Z.
Parmi les quelques atouts mis en avant par le constructeur japonais, on se souvient notamment du mode rafale de l’appareil photo numérique qui permettait jusqu’à dix captures 9 Mégapixels par seconde. Et c’est justement ce qu’a voulu vérifier un certain Marko Kao.

À l’issue de la vidéo postée par ce dernier sur YouTube, on peut noter un total de 999 captures en l’espace de 68 secondes. La performance vantée par le géant asiatique ne tient donc pas seulement du marketing.
La seule limite semble ainsi être la mémoire disponible, ce qui ne devrait pas être problématique avec une mémoire pouvant être étendue à 48 Go grâce à un slot MicroSD et une utilisation normale. Pas sûr en effet que cette fonctionnalité soit exploitée par la grande majorité des utilisateurs.
