Samsung Product Road Map - New Screens are Huge

Here's the discussion of phones...
Meanwhile, in phones, the GT-I9250 is probably the most exciting. It’s said to have a 4.65-inch 1280 x 720 resolution display and a 5-megapixel camera, and run Ice Cream Sandwich on an unspecified processor which, we’re guessing, will be a dual-core. Its sibling, the GT-I9220, is even bigger, with a MID-rivaling 5.29-inch 1280 x 720 Super AMOLED Plus panel, a dual-core 1.4GHz processor, 8-megapixel camera and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The rumored 1.4GHz GT-I9200 upgrade to the Galaxy S II isn’t mentioned, but the I9210 gets a look-in, with a 4.5-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, 4G connectivity and an 8-megapixel camera. There’s also supposedly WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, Full HD video recording support and a 1750 mAh battery, all in an Android-running 128g package.
The description of the 4.5" phone could be the Celox that was leaked a few days ago. I guess big is in.

[RUMOR] Sony to release Snapdragon 600 device in mid summer

We have received word of a new Sony Xperia C670X handset that is due to launch this summer. The information comes from a tipster who recently provided us with the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean screenshot for the Xperia Z. Obviously, as with any rumour, treat all of the following with a pinch of salt.
In terms of specifications, the Sony C670X is expected to come with a slightly smaller display than the Xperia Z (C660X) at 4.8-inches but will still have a full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920. The C670X will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 (APQ8064T) chipset with 1.8GHz quad-core processor and Adreno 320 graphics. Other features include 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage and a 13MP Exmor RS camera. We are told the phone is due to launch in the middle of 2013 with Android 4.2.
Along with all of this spec information, we were sent a render of the Sony C670X. We cannot tell from the picture if the C670X has a heavy glass influence like the Xperia Z or uses aluminium. Judging from the render, the ear speaker is similar in style to the Z/ZL. It looks like the top of the phone includes a front-facing camera , notification light, light sensor and proximity sensor.
Given that the expected release is still a number of months away, the design may end up changing prior to launch. This is perhaps why there are no app icons in the display area, the render only shows the latest Xperia wallpaper. Anyway, that’s all we have for now. As mentioned before, treat all of this firmly as a rumour.
Update: The image sent over is the same as used in the set up guide for the Xperia Z, despite it clearly not being a picture of the Xperia Z. So either this Sony render is a generic placeholder image used when setting up a new 2013 Sony Xperia handset or it is indeed an image of an upcoming handset that Sony has inadvertently used in the Xperia Z.

If Sony released a Xperia SP successor, how would you want it to be?

Imagine that Sony asks you, Xperia SP user, to give them ideas for the Xperia SP successor. Which features, design elements and name would you propose? Remember, Xperia SP is a mid range phone (or high-mid range), so don't lose control with your suggestions!
I would suggest: Xperia ZP.
Spec-wise, it would have:
-Snapdragon 600 with Adreno 320 GPU.
-2GBs of RAM (1.5GBs sounds more logical though)
-13mpx camera with flash, 1Mpx front camera (or 8mpx rear camera as long as it's as high quality as the one on Xperia P)
-4.6" HD IPS screen
For the design, I would like something between Xperia P (which I love) and Z1 compact, so it would be a minimalistic phone made mostly out of aluminum, but with the shape of the Z1 compact. Also, why not make it water-proof? As it seems to be the trend nowadays.
Anyways, share your thoughts. Remember, keep it real! (That means no 4K displays, 3GBs of RAM or Snapdragon 805 >_> ).

Ilumination bar must be /!/

Easy:
Like the Sony Xperia ZL but with Illumination bar and high end specs

1)It would have the same SoC just to lower the price
2)8mp camera with a better lens
3)1.2mp front camera and not that crappy vga camera we have
4)2500mAh battery
5)1.5GB ram
6)8GB internal with a sd card slot
5)5" True HD IPS screen with better viewing angles
6)A led illumination strip all around the phone(party )
And the best...

Well everything can be done except the last one

- 5" 1080p display
- IPS+
- Same GPU
- Same CPU
- 2GB of RAM (A MUST)
- 2 MPx front camera
- 12 MPx rear camera
- 16GB internal memory + SD card slot
- Pure aluminium Exo skeleton rather than co-moulded (Plastic combined with aluminium)

:good: This sounds like something that can be done (minus the software ).
I personally would like them to kill the illumination bar...or at least make it smaller, it takes too much space from the phone and makes it bigger than what it should be.

This sounds great too, minus the 5" 1080p. In my opinion, this resolution will be a thing for mid rangers next year, when Quad HD become more common on high end phones. And maybe it's just me, but 5" is way too big for me...unless they make as compact as an ZL.
Also, I don't know about you guys, but despite how well it runs, don't you feel S4 Krait is getting outdated? There are 2 or 3 games that are no longer compatible with my SP.

xperia sp 2
The xperia sp should have a intel atom z3780 processor at 1.86 ghz/ tegra 4 with 4.7inch screen, kitkat or android l, illuminationbar, aluminum design with removable battery 8 megapixel camera and 1.6 mpx front camera with 16gb of storage or 8gb with ability to move apps to sd card and sd card should be up to 128gb.

xperia sp successor should have
4.8 inch 1080p screen or 720p
tegra 4 processor or Intel atom z3780 or s600 processor
illuminationbar
kitkat or android l at launch
16gb internal 64gb exteral
1.5gb ram
removable battery
frontfacing speakers
8mpx camera 1.2 front camera
2500mah battery

I think that it should be Xperia R4. It might have:
-5" 1080p IPS Screen (same as ZL2) with glove mode and 2t2w
-64bit Snapdragon 615
-Adreno 320 OC
-2GB RAM
-16GB ROM with SD card slot
-IP68
-Front-facing stereo speakers
-8Mpx 16:9 camera and 2,2Mpx 16:9 front camera
-Illumination bar
-2800mAh battery
-137 x 70 x 7,8 mm
-Aluminum Frame
It should looks like smaller Z3 with illumination bar.

It should have...
Well about 5" screen
2gb ram
16gb internal
13mp back and 2mp front camera
Most importantly REMOVABLE BATTERY ??

This would be perfect, i hope Sony launch a phone with illumination bar in a near future

good specs for the moment
- best possible battery +2600mAh
- 16GB internal memory
- 2 or 3 GB RAM
- 5" amoled screen (my girlfriend his it on her samsung galaxy s3 neo, lovely!)
- sd card extension slot !!
and certainly the Ilumination bar !!
i'm always looking for a new phone with such a Ilumination bar, so handy and beautifull !!!
ooh i would defenitly buy such a successor !!

For me:
4.4" 4K Screen(500ppi) with gorilla glass 3
New perfectly working illumination bar made of crystals!
3000mAh battery
2 or 2.5 GB RAM
Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64-bit (8 cores per 2.4 GhZ)
Nvidia Tegra K1 or better
20.7 MPIX camera with BionZ and Cyber-Shot
USB 3.0
Android 5.0 Lollipop with Material Desing(orginal android)
Special X-Pen with special place for it in the phone (like SGN2,SGN3)
Front 8 MPIX camera
2 speakers like Xperia Z3
Slim bezels!

I would love it to keep the 4.6 inch screen because I find anything bigger to be too big. The design would be updated and it would keep the illumination bar plus the aluminium frame would be proper aluminium (as opposed to the current mixture it is). As for the specs it should remain mostly the same, only difference is that it should have an newer quad core chip at ~1.6GHz. And of course it must have better software support.

I would love to see Sony to release a newer version of Xperia SP under their sub brand or with collaboration with their sub brand "Fashion Entertainments" releasing an out of the box design and maintaining their tagline"The design connoisseur’s smartphone".
What is Fashion Entertainments ?

You don't know anything about CPUs and GPUs in a mobile device do you?

I would like to see the ZSP stay the same physical dimension, just have minimal bezels for that bit bigger 1080p screen and Sony 20mp camera.
The other must have would be illumination bars top and bottom and a circular one on the back around the camera lens. I want people to see me talking from space.
The speaker is good enough, when I'm playing music I pair it with one of my bluetooth speakers.
Also a case with a special rotating keyboard that snaps into place like a switchblade click.
I don't really care about the having the latest specs, I want a phone with flair that takes great pictures and has a long battery life.
I wouldn't even mind if it keeps the 720p screen, I'm not ripping blurays or anything for it.

According to me Xperia SP2 should have:
4.8 or 5 inch display
Screen resolution should be 1080p
Quad core Snapdragon 800 paired with Adreno 330 (definitely not the 801 or 805 as these would be considered highend chips and 810 is outta the league)
2 gigs of ram
2800mah battery
13mp rear cam and 2mp front facer
Android Lollipop 5.0
And yes ofcourse our beloved LED strip
If this is what sony makes then m sold to it

Its official!!!!!!!!!!!

Disappointed with a late pre-order date.

That's-a-tasty-meatball!
http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/15/6982145/nexus-6-announced-google-specs-availability
But pretty pricey too - note that they're keeping the Nexus 5 on sale
Seems it's Nexus 6 all along - wonder if there was any deal made with Philip K ****'s estate?
Anyway, these devices look triffic - check the battery on the Nexus 6 - Outstanding!

It's apparently gonna cost $649. I'll pass and get the N9 + N5

I also wanted the nexus 6 but my money does not allow me to ? so for me nexus 9!

Finally
I waited so long for this been rocking this galxy s3 all year waiting for the nexus 6.. I cant wait to have it in my hands...:laugh:

Nexus 6 is pretty much heavy at 180g when Nexus 5 is 130g. Motorola Phones are usually heavy. For instance, Moto E is around 150g when it is a 4.3" device. I like the build quality of motorola phones though since the motorola L6.

> 5.96” 2560 x 1440 QHD AMOLED display (493 ppi)
AMOLED. That's a shame. So will burn eventually if I use it in a car for GPS (static screen elements, high brightness, high temperatures)

Specs directly from MOTO's site.
Qi wireless charging enabled! I wasn't excited about a 6 inch phone, but they've got some if the things I've been looking for, battery life (potentially) & Qi wireless charging. Plus the phone can be purchased directly from MOTO.

Does the nexus 6 sport a 64bit processor?

Nope, it's 32-bit since it uses Snapdragon 805. I would not worry about it though, it is a beastly SoC

It says the phone is water resistant

what is the difference between buying from play store and moto webiste?

Surprisingly no. The 805 is 32 bit. However, there's no apps that will take advantage of 64 bit in the mobile world. I expect that to change, but not for a while.

This is gonna be the best smartphone of the year

CNets video review of the Sony Xperia Z5 - Sony's Best Smartphone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX7wMvCp8c4 Waterproof test video
The flagship beast from sony and beast of the xperia z5 series. This smartphones carries the best camera of 23 MP with latest imaging technologies and with an elegant waterproof design. This beast comes with hybrid auto focus acc. to company. Xperia Z5 is powered with Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994)Adreno 430 GPU and with 64 bit processor. This sounds a bit technical. Xperia Z5 comes with 2900 MAh battery. Battery sounds enough for smartphone of this range. The smartphone is very light just of 154 Grams. It sports a display of 5.2” FHD 1080p (1920×1080) (Triluminos display for Mobile). The front camera would be of 5 MP with Sony Exmor R for mobile sensor Full HD video. Moreover the camera would be capable of 4K HD Video recording and with image stabilization. Well these were just specs and features on the paper. Reality can differ we can’ t judge whether the smartphone is good or not.
