EPrice has leaked a new render of the upcoming Sony Honami.
ePrice also detailed the specs, a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, 2GB of RAM, 16GB on-board storage with microSD card expansion, a 5-inch 1080p display with Sony’s Triluminos technology and a 3000mAh battery. We’re also hearing about a Sony G-Lens for the 20.7MP rear camera, and a BIONZ image processing engine. All looks like a decent phone.
Google is about to build a new 11 storey UK head office in the renovated King’s Cross area of London.
The building is multi-levelled, ranging from 7 to 11 levels, built from steel and laminated timber panels, which will apparently produce 40 per cent less carbon during construction and make it efficient to run. The roof will be a garden.
Smartskins was a post I recently posted how you can change the look of your HTC One.
Well in the UK we have had 30℃ temperatures. Consequently, your phone is going to get hotter. Playing music and using the GPS will increase the temperature too.
Unfortunately, the black carbon skin doesn’t allow the HTC One to dissipate the heat and will therefore prevent charging until the phone is cooler.
So my advice, is don’t use this type of skin, unless you live in an igloo.
You have just updated your HTC One.
Some of the issues you might encounter will relate to apps preinstalled prior to update that look for data or media already on your phone. If this happens delete app and reinstall it.
For example, the official Twitter app on my HTC One needed deleting, then updating from the Play Store to get it to attach photos.
I also needed to re authorise twitter for sense.
Are you out of breadth. August through to October is going to be weeks of exciting new phones being released like crazy.
Phablets are coming – Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Sony Z Ultra and HTC One Max
Smaller smartphones – HTC One Mini, Motorola Moto X
Smartphones with high res cameras – Sony Honami , Nokia Lumia 1020, LG G2
Apple – iPhone 5S and the coloured cheap iPhone.
And then there will be even more phones from Huawei, ZTE and others.
Ones to keep an eye out are the Sony Honami 20mp android super smartphone, Nokia Lumia 1020 41mp windows phone, Motorola Moto X (Google’s first proper assault on the iPhone ) and the HTC One Max.
So what will you pick out of the next bunch ?
As the title states, go update your phone if you have a UK HTC One.
This is cid HTC__001.
Samsung has introduced HomeSync Lite, a new software service that allows users to use their home computers as storage for all of their mobile devices. This is a great service if all of your personal devices are Samsung-made, as it eliminates the cost and need for a physical external drive. The software will install on your home PC, and provide a central location for all of your multimedia storage, absolutely free. Content on the PC will be available to stream seamlessly on each of your Samsung devices, whether it’s a phone, tablet, or smart camera.
HomeSync Lite supports up to five Samsung accounts, and six Samsung devices. As your media keeps racking up in Samsung’s cloud, you can use your own external devices to increase storage.
This is in my opinion a better option than the Sony offering, as there is no need to buy any new hardware, just use what you currently own.
Polamatic by Polaroid is their new android app. The Polamatic app brings back the instant nostalgia of Polaroid pictures. Capture or import a photo then select from 36 Polaroid frames, 20 photo filters , add a caption, and finally share your Polaroid picture!

The Sony Portable Wireless Server LLS201 is Personal Content Station Hub for Storing, Viewing and Sharing Personal Content. It delivers “One-touch backup” and Control from Smartphones and Tablets.
This wireless home hub gives users centralised control over their data, even if it was captured and resides on several different devices, without the hassle of transferring them to a PC. The Personal Content Station connects to a home network to store, view and share photos and videos from multiple devices including smartphones, tablets, cameras and camcorders. It supports data transfer through a Wi-Fi connection from smartphones or tablets, a USB connection or memory cards and with 1TB of storage space it will keep your favourite memories safe.
A key feature of the PCS device is a built-in video transcoder that automatically converts high-definition AVCHD videos to the MP4 format for playback on smartphones or tablets. The original files remain on the Personal Content Station untouched and at their original quality and resolution. Its HDMI output lets users view photos and videos on large-screen TVs in full HD (up to 1080/60p) quality.
Users can also manage and post photos and videos stored on the device to cloud network services or social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter from their smartphones or tablets using the app.
I must say I really like the sound of this. And this is one step away from removing the need for a home computer. For more information, head over to Sony. Click here.
