Galaxy Note II doesnt have a 13MP camera because of Sony
Even before the new Galaxy Note II was officially unveiled, we’ve heard a number of rumors that such a device is in development. At that time, the Interwebs were talking about improved camera, saying that the new model will rock a 13-megapixel sensor. Now we’re hearing that those rumors were partly true as Samsung did want to include it in the Note II. The problem, however, is that the Japanese company could supply its Korean partner with enough units so Sammy opted for the “old” 8-megapixel sensor, instead.
It is fair to presume that at the time Samsung started making new Notes, Sony had problems with volume production. Today we know they’ll be supplying LG with 13-megapixel sensors which will be used in the soon-to-be-launched Optimus G. Guess the Note III and perhaps the Galaxy S IV will rock a better camera… Not that we actually need one…

Sony Xperia Z hits local retail shelves Php32 490
The Sony Xperia Z (C6603) has hit the shelves of retail stores this weekend. The suggested retail price is Php32,490. Street prices are as low as Php30,790 cash.
The Xperia Z is Sony 2013 flagship smartphone. It has a large 5-inch Full HD 1080p display and powerful Qualcomm S4 Pro quad-core Krait processor. It comes with 16 GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD card. The phone has a 13 MP primary camera and a 2.2 MP front camera. For software, it comes with a Sony themed version of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The phone supports LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600. This should make it compatible with Globe and Smarts LTE networks. Keeping all this running is a 2330 mAh battery.
This phone even has some pretty unique features being IP57 certified dust and water resistant smartphone and having a dedicated hardware camera button.
This is certainly the best Android smartphone available in the country, and hardware wise the best smartphone in the Philippines. Still, it might be a bit too little, a bit too late. Announced in January 2013, I think this phone made it here a bit to late to have a big impact. With the Samsung Galaxy S 4 slated to hit local shelves in a month or so at the same price range, with a more vibrant display, the newer Qualcomm processor and Android operating system, having what looks like the best camera on a Android phone ever, and a user replaceable battery, it is slated to become an also ran pretty soon.
Still, if you really dont like Samsungs plastic and the HTC One does not appeal to you, this glass cased phone might be the one for you.

Based on the price, specifications and the look, the WT18i will more likely request to the young generation. Although it was announced that it will be sold in China, the worldwide version can possibly chase.

Sony Ericsson Xperia pro
Features:
Naturally, the Xperia Pro is geared toward a slightly different sort of customer than the Xperia Play. Instead of slide-out gaming controls, it gets a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. That’s simply one of the biggest differentiating factors that makes this smartphone unlike other Xperia devices and increasingly unlike other Android smartphones in general.
As far as the core specs are concerned, you’ll find a Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon 1GHz processor to go along with 1GB of internal memory, 3.7-inch 480×854 pixel LED backlit LCD capacitive touchscreen, 512MB RAM, 8MP camera, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, accelerometer, Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine, microSD extension, and front-facing VGA videocall camera. It gets the usual smattering of Stereo FM, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, GPS with aGPS, and HSDPA 7.2 along with HSUPA 5.8.
First Impression:
Not unlike the Google Nexus S, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro has a glossy and smooth plastic exterior. Some people may believe that such a finish feels cheap, but that’s largely a matter of individual preference.
The sliding mechanism for the keyboard feels robust and the three buttons along the bottom are typical of the Xperia line. I’m personally not a fan of these “slim” buttons, but they’re a relatively minor quibble. Performance appears to be improved over earlier Xperia smartphones and the overall size, while not all that compact, is a touch slighter than some of the larger Android “superphones” that have flooded the market.
Keyboard:
With the exception of just a handful of handsets, the majority of Android smartphones these days do not have physical keyboards. This will easily be a draw for fans of tactile feedback. The good news is that the QWERTY keyboard on the Xperia pro is quite good.
I still wouldn’t actually want to use it to type out an extensive academic paper or anything like that, but it’s fantastic for e-mail messages, text messages, and even little blog posts. The keys offer a soft surface and they are slightly domed. Coupled with the decent spacing, it’s really easy to type based on feel. It should be noted that the keys are not arranged in a slightly staggered fashion, like how you’d find on a computer keyboard; they’re in a great grid. So, this may take a few getting used to for some folks, but I thought it was pretty great.
Performance:
To get a sense of the performance of this phone, I ran it through the Quadrant Standard Edition benchmark. The first run through only rendered a score of 1400, but subsequent trials earned scores of 1654 and 1685. That’s a exact step above the Nexus One (1300), but simply below dual-core alternatives like the Atrix (2281).
As far as the network speeds on the Fido network, I used the Speedtest Mobile app. The ping was anywhere from 107ms to 128ms. Download speeds ranged from 5881kbps to 6891kbps, putting it close to the theoretical 7.2Mbps cap on HSDPA. The upload speeds were polite too, ranging from 1089kbps to 1193kbps.
Conclusion:
Sony Ericsson is a large company, to be sure, but it’s still not among the top-tier when it comes to Android smartphones. That upper level is probably still held by HTC and Samsung, possibly with an admirable mention to Motorola.
The Xperia pro continues with that kind of tradition. It’s not going to win any awards and it’s not going to floor you with its presentation. What it is going to provide you is a more than adequate Android experience at a sensible price. The 1GHz processor feels dated compared to its current dual core (and soon to be quad core) competition, but it gets the job done.
