Android this week: Sony Xperia Z reviewed; LG’s G2 teased; HTC One now dual boots

Seems to be the next wave of Android hardware construction and this week, I reviewed the latest from Sony. The company's Xperia Z and T-Mobile's LTE launch last Wednesday, from this year on July 17 to $ 99, and 2420 yuan equal pay carrier. The phone uses a 5-inch 1920 × 1080 display. Some people may be postponed Sony choose a slightly older chip power of the Xperia Z, but in my tests, it is a non-issue.

Not like other currently available flagship phone using Qualcomm Snapdragon600, Sony inserted Snapdragon S4 Pro. This quad-core, 1.5 GHz chip is from last year. However, with 2 GB of memory, of the Xperia Z held their own against their counterparts Galaxy S4, HTC and LG Optimus G Pro motherboard. Yes, the mobile phone as a benchmark slower devices, but I did not have any noticeable lag or slow the comparison.

The Xperia Z quite unique is its resistance to dust and water. Yes, this phone can take a drop in the pool: I checked! You can also take underwater photos and video instead of several hours. The Xperia Z can withstand a meter of water for 30 minutes. Sony lightly skinned Android software, so the interface is not as overwhelming Samsung's TouchWiz or HTC's Sense interface. With T-Mobile's LTE coverage areas, mobile broadband speeds are quite good. T-Mobile has introduced several new LTE markets in your area this week, so it could be ignited.

We should not wait too long, though August 7, LG Electronics held a news conference, where it will debut the LG G2; company's first mobile phone an 800 Snapdragon chip. This is the top tier of silicon from Qualcomm, and has faster performance, and greatly improved support for video and still images. It is possible G2 will be able to 4K video capture 4,000 × 2,000 pixels. All power under the hood, the phone will be at least 1920 × 1080 display and 5 inches in size or larger.

HTC one week also brought good news for the owners made ​​me feel happy, because I might soon become one of them. Paul O'Brien of MoDaCo demonstrated his latest work progress of the HTC One: dual-boot option lets you run the HTC Sense or stock Google Android software environment found in the phone's Google Experience version. O'Brien also integrate some better detection bits, such as camera applications, enter the stock market's Android software

Now, however, you can go to one or the other version of the boot. And in these two environments share the same data store. This means adding an application, you run consciousness, for example, when you boot into pure Android, and vice versa. Your account settings, the media and any other data are the same. So far, it looks how:
