It looks like Sony is not yet ready to give up on the smartphone segment even after the failure of two of its recently released Xperia phones, namely Xperia 1 and Xperia 5. According to a new report, courtesy of a Japanese blog AndroPlus (via GSMArena), the company is working on a new flagship phone that will come packed with yet-to-go-official Snapdragon 865 processor. SM8250 which is supposedly the internal model number of the incoming chipset has been mentioned on Sony’s firmware distribution server, which essentially means that the Japanese tech giant could be working on a new handset powered…

A listing on Android Enterprise Directory has revealed what we should be expecting from the incoming Lenovo K10. The specifications sure sound mediocre even for a budget smartphone in 2019. But, we expect the Chinese company to price the handset competitively so that it finds its place in the market. According to the listing, the specs of Lenovo K10 include a 6.1-inch display, 2GB RAM, and 32GB storage. The device will likely come with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor just like its older brother, K10 Note. The listing also reveals that it will run Android 9.0 Pie out of the box.…
It’s been a while since we covered a Kickstarter project, so I thought to give it a shot. The last one was a creepy Big Clapper Robot that, well, claps to cheer up your day. Today on our Kickstarter column is a game dubbed Deadliest Catch and you’re going to love it if you’re into catching crabs. Of course, the plus side is that you don’t have to leave your house and yet still get to enjoy the experience thanks to very life-looking graphics and complex in-game tactics you’ll have to shell out for successful catches. In the game, you’re…

Sony Xperia as a brand may not be working out very well for the Japanese tech giant in terms of sales and profits right now, but that didn’t stop Sony from releasing a killer flagship phone in the form of Xperia 5 at a relatively reasonable price point. In addition to garnering positive responses from both critics and hardcore fans, the phone has also managed to bag a bunch of ‘Best’ awards from popular technology websites including T3, Stuff, and Android Headlines. T3 has given away its ‘Best Phone’ title to the Xperia 5 for its gorgeous 6.1-inch 21:9 OLED…
Sony’s Q1 smartphone of this year, like always, has failed to impress both critics as well as Android enthusiasts except obviously their hardcore fans that almost always never forget to bash me in the comments. And this time around, even their biggest fans are disappointed as one of the best features of the Sony Xperia 1 is about to get outdated in no time. But let’s leave that aside (can we?) as Sony has something interesting for us this time around in the form of a pocket cooler dubbed ‘Reon Pocket’ that has completed its crowdfunding campaign successfully on the…
