| Sony's flagship Xperia 1 II will ship in July for $1,200 - Engadget Posted: 25 May 2020 05:01 AM PDT Sony's flagship Xperia 1 II smartphone will ship on July 24th for an eye-watering $1,199 in the US, the company announced. Pre-orders open up on June 1st and if you buy before June 28th, you'll get a pretty nice gift: a free pair of Sony's excellent WF-1000XM3 noise-cancelling wireless earbuds. It packs a triple camera setup developed with the engineers behind Sony's A7 III and other popular mirrorless cameras. The three 12-megapixel cameras (wide, ultrawide and zoom) can shoot at up to 20 fps in burst mode with autofocus and auto-exposure enabled, making it suitable for action and sports shooting. It can also do human/animal eye tracking and comes with pro photography and movie settings to give you full manual control. The Xperia 1 II has a big 6.5-inch 21:9 4K HDR OLED screen and can server as an external display for select Sony DSLR or mirrorless camera models. Other specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 856 CPU and a 4,000mAh battery to keep that bright screen going, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Xperia 1 II is Sony's first 5G smartphone (sub-6Ghz) for Europe, but it only appears to support LTE bands in the US. However, Sony may soon unveil the Xperia Pro 5G with high-speed mmWave 5G tech that does work in the US. That phone would also have professional broadcast features including an HDMI input port and will no doubt cost even more than the non-pro model. As mentioned, orders kick off on June 1st with shipping slated to start on July 24th. |
| Realme Watch looks like Apple Watch, costs $50 - Mashable Posted: 25 May 2020 02:30 AM PDT  Image: realme In the world of smartwatches, there's one king — the Apple Watch — and a lot of copycats. But these copies often beat the original in so many ways that you have to start thinking which one is the better deal. Case in point, the freshly launched Realme Watch. Realme is a two-year-old Chinese smartphone manufacturer that has had great success in India, having launched several cheap smartphones with flagship-beating specs. The Realme Watch won't win any originality contests. It's a squareish smartwatch that resembles Apple Watch, but it offers decent functionality for the low, low price of 3,999 rupees ($53). It has a 1.4-inch square LCD with a 320x320 pixel resolution and a curvy glass cover, runs a custom version of Android, has 14 different sports modes, displays phone notifications, and lets you control your phone's music player and camera.
Image: realme Here's where it gets interesting, though. The Realme Watch also has a real-time, heart rate monitor, as well as blood oxygen level monitor, which are pretty impressive features for a watch this cheap. Hard to say how well they work without trying the device out, though. The Realme Watch also has an advertised 7 days of battery life with heart-rate monitoring on, 9 days of battery life when that feature is off, and 20 days in power-saving mode, which sounds a lot better than Apple Watch's 18 hours of battery life. Again, I'd have to test the watch to make sure, but it's definitely possible; there are non-Apple, non-Wear OS smartwatches with weeks of battery life. And sure, once that display lights up, it will be quite obvious that it's not an Apple watch - the bezels are massive, especially the bottom one. But it's such a bargain that its price handily beats not only the Apple Watch, but most other copycats by a massive margin. The Watch will become available for purchase on June 5, on Realme's website as well as Flipkart. |
