Here's one for our true love Nexus 5, Google announces Nexus 5X as it's follow up

Today at the Google event the tech giant announced a follow up to one of our favourite smartphones of all time and arguable one of the best nexus devices that Google has ever produced and the company knows that thus instead of inventing a whole new set they made the trusty old nexus 5 even better with a follow up called the nexus 5X. Now when you look at the handset it does give you a similar feel yet it isn’t all too alike the nexus 5 which is a good thing, the 5X wasn’t the only the only thing Google announced. The nexus 6P was also announced as follow up to the nexus 6 Phablet you can check our article about the nexus 6P here.

Back to our beloved nexus 5X, now we most certainly don’t know how it will perform but probably no one does as of yet we can only know that when we buy it, but according to the Google event today it will feature a snapdragon 808 chip, 3 GB ram, full HD 1080p display with a size of 5.2” and gorilla glass 3 and a camera with 12 MP very large pixels much like the HTC ultra pixels which means it will take really good low light photos but we can only truly know that when we have test results for that, the other specs are all good too. You’re probably going like “oh man an only 1080p screen? And a snapdragon 808 not 810” well yea that’s true but that is true cause the device will be sold at a really cheap price for those specs and it will mainly target those customers who like good performance and no gimmicky show offs. We repeat with this almost every review a 1080p screen means really good battery life same goes for the snapdragon 808 chip, apart from that the nexus 5x also includes a finger print scanner and Android Marshmallow.


All these specs are great but what they really show is that google is targeting the average audience so you can expect this phone too be available at a decent price while giving you top notch specs that perform good all this is wrapped in a plastic body though the material seems different from what the nexus 5 was like and seems much sturdier either way we never hated the nexus 5 for its shape or appearance, also the phone will come in black and white colours, we don't know if more colours will be made available later. We most certainly can’t wait for the nexus 5x can you? Let us know us in the comments section.

Sony announces the Xperia Z5, Z5 compact and Z5 premium

Today Sony officially showcased the Xperia Z5 series of its flagship phones, while Sony hasn't been having a lot success in the smartphone market. Recently it hasn't been as much successful as it once used to be in mobile phone sales, its sales have fallen in the international market which is primarily due to the highly saturated market for premium smartphones as even Samsung and Apple are having a hard time now. Sony today presented the world with what it believes a smartphone of 2015 and 2016 should be like and that is the Xperia Z5 which comes in three different variations the largest being the Xperia Z5 premium followed by the regular Xperia Z5 and lastly the smallest Xperia Z5 compact. Image Source The Xperia Z5 packs a Snapdragon 810 quad core 64 bit processor with 3 Gb of ram, 23 Mp camera, a 5.2 inch full HD 1080p screen, 2900 mah battery and a finger print scanner while the Z5 premium has all the same specs except it comes with a 5.5 inch 4k ultra HD scre...
Last year Sony released the C5 Ultra a near bezel less phone with a premium design but was ultimately a mid ranger, this year we are here again reporting about the C6, another bezel less phone with a premium design. Image Source   The phone most likely will boast a 5.5 full HD screen, an Octa core Helio P10, 16 Gb internal storage, 3 or 2 Gb Ram and will of course support 4g LTE. The leaked pictures show a bezel less design which resembles the Z3 though it's not aluminium like the later. Image Source What do you think about the phone and it's design? And how it will fare against the other mid rangers.

In an updated blog post Microsoft said it will be pushing out the RTM builds pretty soon to its OEM partners followed by build for retailers and finally to all those who reserved a free copy will get the upgrade on 29th July in waves, but if you can't wait like we can't you might want to clean install the latest insiders build 10162 and update it to the RTM build this weekend on 10th July, the RTM build will be sent most definitely to insiders first for testing so if you want to get a stable or at least 90% stable windows 10 then here's your chance. Further Microsoft mentioned in the blog post that windows 10 is compatible with almost all windows 8x and 7x devices. "In our testing of millions of systems, we're seeing full compatibility today with the vas...
