iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C

Apple is expected to launch two new iPhones on September 10. The first one, the iPhone 5C, is supposed to be an affordable version of the iPhone which has different colors of plastic back shells.

Samsung is also expected to finally take the wraps off their newest phablet, the Galaxy Note 3. This device is supposed to have the capability to capture 4k (3840×2, 160 pixel) video. The screen will also have a thinner bezel which means more screen space for our content. We’re hoping for more innovations on the software side though, especially on the S Pen.

Sony Xperia Z1 “Honami

The Sony Xperia Z1 sports a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 chipset. We first saw this raging piece of tech used with the Sony Xperia Z Ultra (Antutu Benchmark Test reached over 30k). The real story here though is the camera. Sony used their G Lens which has a 1/2.3-inch sensor and 20.7-megapixels. Add to that water resistance and the “Omnibalance” philosophy of Sony and you have a very strong flagship. Click here to read our initial feature on the Sony Xperia Z1.
