Sony launches Xperia Z1F in Japan, a small twin brother Xperia Z1

Xperia Z1F is official in Japan. It's no surprise the Japanese operator NTT DoCoMo who have exclusivity. Hopefully it will only be temporary because with his size "mini" and its high-end configuration inherited straight from Xperia Z1, no doubt many will find their account.

As was foreshadowed many leaks from Japan, the Xperia Z1F is preparing to do his return with operator NTT DoCoMo. For the record, it is a more compact version of the newest Xperia Z1 as canned design and characteristics, except for its reduced to a diagonal of 4.3 "to HD resolution screen (1280 x 720 Pixels). It is not to be confused with the plethora of "minis" available at the competition, which usually decides to revise downward the configuration of their flagship devices at the same time as their size.

As the largest model, the Sony Xperia Z1F is a high end smartphone. Judge for yourself:

• LTE-Advanced
• 2300 mAh

• 4 colors: black, white, pink, yellow
• Weight: 140 grams

NTT DoCoMo refer itself to the hour Xperia Z1F as one of its exclusives. To date, no information has also been provided by Sony for a possible international availability. The question is therefore whether rather walk in the footsteps of the Xperia Tablet Z announced first by the Japanese before operator from the 4 corners of the globe, or rather those of the Xperia SX never released outside of Japan last year

HTC One Max: big, but how big?

While it has not even been announced yet, the HTC Max One has been seen in the hands of a privileged user. A passerby decided to immortalize the scene before sharing it on Instagram.

According to rumors, the HTC One Max incorporates not only the category of phablettes, but it would rank among the more bigger with its 5.9 screen. "Add to that the two speakers needed to BoomSound technology HTC front and you will understand that he should rather approach the dimensions of a Sony Xperia Z Ultra as a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Nothing but worth the view of the smartphone innocent hands to reflect its size and it is precisely the subject of the next picture, posted on Instagram by zacjasonr.

Great, HTC One Max is without a shadow of a doubt. The story has nonetheless proved that some users do not hesitate to bring the ease of use before compactness. And left to stand out with a smartphone-sized (large) hand, so be it with class. No complex here, the aluminum design that made the success (relative) One always seems to operate. Added to this is a fact sheet from the best currently provided with a brief summary here:

• Android 4.3 Jelly Bean + Sense 5.5 overlay
• Display Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) 5.9 "
• Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600/800
• 2GB of RAM
• 16 GB internal memory, expandable via microSD
• APN Utrapixels 4 MP
• Biometric sensor
• 4G/LTE

One of the features HTC Max were unveiled before the time

At the end of last September, we saw for the first time HTC One Max in the database of the agency certification of Chinese telecommunications equipment. Today, we learn a little more about it.

So we know for sure and finally the HTC Max One measure 164.5 x 82.5 x 10.29 mm with a total weight of 217 grams while the HTC One (first name) measures 137.4 x 68.2 x 9.3 mm and weighs 143 grams. Then the size of the announced by the various rumors screen is confirmed, because the HTC One Max propose indeed a screen of 5.9 inches with a resolution of Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Considered a direct competitor of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (although they differ in several respects), the processor of the HTC Max One will surely disappoint many, because it still would propose a 600 quad-core Snapdragon Qualcomm which is clocked 1.7 GHz and supported by a RAM of 2 GB On this point, it should be noted that another version with a number 809D series is also shown that with time, a clock frequency of 1 , 5 GHz.

Otherwise, the HTC Max One UltraPixel propose a digital camera followed by a front 2-megapixel camera with an internal memory of 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB choices this time, should be expandable via a microSD card SD, unlike the HTC One. Otherwise, the device will offer Bluetooth 4.0 connection, and will be managed by Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and Sense 5.5 overlay. However, it is strange that the famous fingerprint scanner was no mention in the report, however, was supposed to be the main advantage of this giant smartphone. By cons, we can very clearly see the sensor in the camera on different images published.

In any case, it is certain that we will hear a lot about this device in the coming days, as the official announcement is scheduled for 15 October.

It will be just an announcement to revive the rumors about HTC redemption: that of its preliminary results for the third quarter of 2013 . It must be said that at the accounts, the manufacturer would be for the first time in the negative and turn dangerously approaching the end. A sad fate for one of the pioneers of the smartphone sector, which could still be enjoyed by others. Including that of Lenovo. Taiwanese publication AppleDaily reports that the Chinese manufacturer is in talks with HTC, no doubt about his redemption.
Indeed, the leaders of the two firms would met several times to Taiwan last August. While the topic does not make any certainty, it is recognized that a takeover proposal could easily find its place in the strategy of Lenovo. Moreover, it is the acquisition of the IBM ThinkPad brand and the manufacturer's success on the PC market personal computer division, and there is no doubt he heard recur on the smartphone market .

The announcement of the A7 processor 64-bit Apple has done much talking. First to react quickly Samsung had announced that he too would soon propose a processor running the same architecture. Qualcomm was followed by the voice of his marketing manager Anand Chandrasekhe, but in a completely different register. This was especially qualified 64-bit Apple's chip "marketing gimmick" , up to say that user had no benefit to be gained from such an architecture. A statement to the paradoxical insofar Qualcomm also preparing such processors. As advertising, we have seen better.
Suddenly, the depth is now back on the words of the Vice-President, which would have simply "missed details," a spokesman he reported to TechRadar . The 64-bit architecture effectively requires many adjustments to be fully exploited but the added depth that they were already well under way, both hardware software plan mobile ecosystems. The transition to this architecture will provide performance and user of our office machines mobile experience, in addition to opening the door to new types of computing devices.
