We have seen a number of hands-on pictures of the Xperia Z Ultra in black and white,
however in-the-wild pics of the purple version has eluded us. Well
luckily we’ve come across a hands-on video below that gives a quick tour
of the Z Ultra in purple. We even get a brief side-by-side with the
purple Xperia Z at the beginning too. We’re still not sure which of the
three colours (black, white and purple) would get our vote – although
we’re probably leaning towards the white version at the moment.
Sony will launch the latest iteration of its SmartWatch concept in the
next couple of months, but unlike other competitors this is not a space
that Sony has just entered on a whim. Sony’s first offering in this
space was LiveView which went on sale in November 2010. This was then followed up by the SmartWatch that launched in April 2012.
Sony has seen the value of such a wearable gadget for a while now and
since the LiveView launched it has helped create a decent ecosystem of
dedicated apps for the accessory.
However, whilst Sony is about to embark on its third-iteration of the
device, we were wondering how many of you see this as the future? Have
you used a LiveView or SmartWatch or even a competitor product such as
the Pebble? Has it become an indispensable part of your life or do you
just prefer the simplicity of a normal watch? If it doesn’t attract to
you, then what would you like to see in a Sony SmartWatch before you
bite? We’d love to hear your thoughts below.
Android 4.2 takes the speed and simplicity of Jelly Bean to a different level – a
completely new camera experience that’s beyond smart, a new form of typing that helps
you power through your messages, and much more.
Simple, Beautiful and Beyond Smart
Amazing Photo Sphere camera
Up, down and all around you, it’s like no camera you’ve ever seen. With Android 4.2,
snap pictures in every direction that come together into incredible, immersive photo
spheres that put you right inside the scene. View your photo spheres right on your
phone, share them on Google+ with your friends and family, or even add them to Google
Maps for the world to see.
Writing messages on the go is easier than ever with Gesture Typing – just glide your
finger over the letters you want to type, and lift after each word. You don’t have to
worry about spaces because they’re added automatically for you.
The keyboard can anticipate and predict the next word, so you can finish entire
sentences just by selecting suggested words. Power through your messages like never
before.
Android's dictionaries are now more accurate and relevant. With improved text-to-speech
capabilities, voice typing on Android is even better. It works even when you don't have
a data connection, so you can type with your voice everywhere you go.
One tablet, many users.
It’s your fully customized tablet. And theirs, too. With support for multiple users,
you can give each person their own space. Everyone can have their own homescreen,
background, widgets, apps and games – even individual high scores and levels! And since
Android is built with multitasking at its core, it’s a snap to switch between users –
no need to log in and out. Available only on tablets.
Share what’s on your phone on the big screen.
Android 4.2 allows devices to enable wireless display. You can share movies, YouTube
videos, and anything that’s on your screen on an HDTV. Just connect a wireless display
adapter to any HDMI-enabled TV to mirror what’s on your screen quickly and easily.
Daydream.
Daydream lets your Android device display useful and delightful information when idle
or docked. Show off your photo albums, get the latest news from Google Currents, and
more.
Expandable, actionable notifications.
Android has always put you in control when it comes to staying notified and
connected. Just swipe down from the top of the screen to see all your notifications
in one place. Late for a meeting or missed a call? Take action in an instant directly
from the notifications shade.
Live in the Now.
Google Now brings you the information you need, when and where you need it, before you
even ask. Google Now tells you today's weather before you start your day, or when the
next train will arrive as you’re standing on the platform. With the latest version, you
can see popular photo spots nearby, track packages easily, get information about
upcoming movies, and much more.
It's easier than ever to quickly get answers, explore, and browse search results.
Android also lets you search the web with your voice, and it's convenient for getting
quick answers on the fly. It speaks back to you and is powered by the Knowledge
Graph, bringing you a precise answer if it knows it, and precisely ranked search
results, so you can always find out more.
Fast and smooth.
We put Android under a microscope, making everything feel fast, fluid, and smooth. With
buttery graphics and silky transitions, moving between home screens and switching
between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.
More reactive and uniform touch responses mean you can almost feel the pixels beneath
as your finger moves across the screen. Jelly Bean makes your Android device even more
responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns
it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.
Beam photos and videos.
With Android Beam on Jelly Bean you can now easily share your photos and videos with
just a simple tap, in addition to sharing contacts, web pages, YouTube videos,
directions, and apps. Just touch two NFC-enabled Android devices back-to-back, then tap
to beam whatever's on the screen to your friend.
Widgets work like magic.
With Jelly Bean it's now even easier to personalize your home screen. As you place
widgets on the screen, everything else automatically moves to make room. When they're
too big, widgets resize on their own. Interacting with your favorite apps and
customizing your home screen has never been easier.
Accessibility.
Enable screen magnification to easily zoom or pan the entire screen to get a closer
look. Visually impaired users can now enter full-screen magnification with a triple-tap
on the screen, and even type and interact with the device while zoomed in. Blind users
can use Gesture Mode to reliably navigate the UI using touch and swipe gestures in
combination with speech output.
Sony Mobile has this morning confirmed
that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for its new Xperia devices (Xperia T,
Xperia TX and Xperia V) will start to receive the update from the middle
of Q1 2013. Sony Xperia devices that launched earlier this year
including the Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go
and Xperia J will be upgraded to Android 4.1 in “due course”. Looks like
Xperia miro, Xperia tipo, Xperia tipo dual, Xperia sola and Xperia U
users are excluded.
The release date for Jelly Bean is later than we expected, we had always
assumed it would launch later this year. Recent owners of the Sony
Xperia T/TX may feel the most annoyed especially since Sony said that
the handsets will be “upgraded to Android version 4.1 (Jelly Bean) following launch“. We interpret ‘following launch’ as near enough immediately after release – certainly not four months later.
We suspect that the JB launch for the other 2012 Xperia models could
take as long as early Q2 2013, given that no concrete information has
been given. It’s hard not to commend Sony Mobile for updating many of
its mid-range handsets along with their higher-end models. However,
Xperia sola and Xperia U owners will rightfully be arguing why they
won’t be seeing the update. It’s certainly not a question of hardware
specification.
What we do know by now is that Android version upgrades are a slow and
painful process for all manufacturers. There’s also every likelihood
that Sony Mobile is hindered with the sheer volume of handsets it has
released this year and last. Trying to update and certify a new Android
version update for all of these handsets must be a logistical nightmare.
Let’s hope that as time goes on, Sony gets better at releasing more
timely updates.
Last week Sony Mobile confirmed
that the new Xperia T/TX/V handsets would get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean by
mid Q1 2013. Sony made no mention on when the rest of the 2012 Xperia
line-up would see the updates, apart from confirming that most of the
range would see the update at some point. Now take the following with a
massive pinch of salt, but techenclave is reporting that a number of
2012 Sony Xperia handsets will see Android 4.1 Jelly Bean launch this
year.
techenclave says that the “information comes from our sources within Sony Mobile Communications (and a 3rd party in between, trusted source),”
we’re not entirely sure what the bracketed part means? Anyway, the site
claims that the Xperia S, Xperia ion and Xperia acro S will receive the
update by the end of October/early November.
They go on to say that the Xperia U and Xperia sola will also receive
the JB update, this is despite the phones not being included in the
initial Sony Mobile post. However, Sony did confirm in the comments
section that it was “still evaluating potential upgrades for Xperia sola/Xperia U smartphones and will be back with more information shortly.”
So if you own either phone we wouldn’t give up hope yet. techenclave
says that the Xperia P, Xperia U, Xperia go and Xperia sola will receive
the JB update by early December.
Whilst the site claims to have some inside track on the Android Xperia
launch schedule, we find it hard to believe. For example, if the news is
true, why would Sony Mobile reveal the JB timeline for the Xperia
T/TX/V (February 2013), but leave out the others which are meant to
launch earlier? If the JB launch for these phones is imminent, then
surely Sony would have greater clarity on timing?
Plus, there is every possibility that new firmware would have popped up
on the PTCRB website if an update was to release in the next fortnight
for the Xperia S, Xperia ion and Xperia acro S . Now we know, the PTCRB
isn’t bullet-proof and that sometimes firmware doesn’t appear on the
site until much later, but it does have a pretty good track record for
most updates.
Whilst we’d love to believe that this report is true, we don’t see it
personally. We have covered the Sony Xperia Android programme since day one
and Sony has never announced a later date for some phones and
pleasantly surprised with an earlier date for other phones down the
line. We’d love to be proved wrong, but if the JB launch date really was
imminent, Sony would shout it from the rooftops, rather than get the
bad PR they did. Sony has kept quiet on timing for the Xperia S and
other phones so don’t hold your breath if you’re expecting to see it
this year.
Sony Mobile has trademarked the term “MyXperia” in Europe through the OHIM (Office of Harmonization for the Internal Market). Looking at the trademark listing, MyXperia relates to a mobile app for “upload, storage, retrieval, download, transmission and delivery of digital content and media“. Could Sony Mobile be preparing to launch its own cloud storage service? We’ll bring you more as we have it.
It looks like the Sony Xperia J will get a new feature we haven’t seen
before called SMS counter. The screenshot below was sent to us by one of
our readers which shows the SMS counter in the menu settings. SMS
counter will allow you to set a limit on how many SMS messages can be
sent per month – good for those on restrictive mobile contracts. We’re
not sure if this feature will slowly hit all Sony Xperia handsets, see a
larger screenshot below.
