It’s IFA rumor time folks. Following the story that Sharp might be the first producer to the marketplace with a without a doubt bezels tool, we’re now hearing (admittedly from Weibo) that Sony would possibly have a bezel-much less telephone in instruction for an IFA unveiling. You heard that proper: Sony. With no bezels. Am I dreaming? Probably, however possibly now not.

While I know it’s quite easy to make up just about something and slap it on Weibo, this tale really has legs. Hear me out: show-maker JDI, a joint assignment produced from Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi, has already introduced that it has long gone into full-on mass manufacturing of its Full Active QHD show. That means the tech is already there, and Sony is the apparent first preference to place it right into a mobile product.

This could require two matters. Firstly, Sony might need to say its fond farewell to bezels, something it’s been reticent to do for, like, ever. But it’s time. We all understand this. Tearful Departure entire, Sony could then want to have a product equipped to head in time for IFA in early September. Which it virtually does: Sony has already announced its press convention might be hung on August 31, the day earlier than IFA formally kicks off. So there’s that.

Whether you take all this as the stars aligning or simply wishful questioning, the Weibo put up claims this new Sony device may have a 6-inch LCD panel with the 18: UniviUnivisionthing ratio we’ve already visible at the LG G6 and (sort of on) the Galaxy S8. My head is spinning just thinking about it: Sony should actually cross from being the organization renowned for atrophied design and a pathological love of massive bezels to one of the first organizations to shed bezels entirely.

This is one Weibo rumor I desperately hope comes genuine, despite the fact that it’s simply as probably to be connect-the-dots rumor-mongering as an alternative. Even if the smartphone comes out hugely overpriced and 6 months too past due in the US it would still imply Sony is attempting once more, and that’s truly something well worth getting in the back of. We’ll be following this story carefully, so live tuned for extra details within the coming weeks.

Sony has recently bought out Ericsson’s shares in the joint venture for 1.05 billion Euros. With the buyout, we can expect more cutting edge mobile technology from the Japanese company. One device that is carrying the solely-Sony brand name is the XPERIA S. It is unlike any other phone SE (Sony Ericsson) had to offer. Here, you will get to know if the smartphone is for you by getting to know its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages

In the past, SE’s lineup consisted of sound handsets such as the Arc S and Play. The Arc S is a slim Android handset and the Play is the only PlayStation-certified smartphone in the market. Despite the level of innovation this handset had to offer, they still lacked the processing power other handsets had to offer. These top of the line SE phones packed single-core processors when the competition offered dual-core processors. In the same year, these two phones were released into the market, Samsung released the Galaxy S2 and HTC released the Sensation. These two were powered by 1.2 GHz dual-core processors that offered superior performance. Sadly, SE’s previous models didn’t have what it took to compete when it came to performance. This is no longer the case with Sony’s new smartphone.
