Finally a Rival for the Lumia: Sony Windows Phone Cybershot Handset
The Nokia Lumia Pureview handset is seen by many as the ideal cameraphone and its rivals usually come from the Android ecosystem. Meanwhile, the older Windows Phone partners are sitting idle. Now what we get here is a Sony Windows Phone device, made by David Quijada, the sort of wet dream we’ve seen from the early days of Windows Phone.
The handset seems to adopt the famous Lumia yellow and it has an elongated body with a Cybershot camera with a metallic cover in the lens area. For some reason we get a very big camera button, unless it’s a zoom button of sorts and the handset seems to be made of glossy polycarbonate. The name of the Windows Phone concept is Sony Xperia Pix and this may make sense since the first Xperias were Windows Mobile devices actually.
I’d see this long phone with a 6 inch Full HD screen, a 20 megapixel Lens G camera, Snapdragon 800 CPU and 32 GB of storage. Windows Phone 8.1 should be included here, as well as a slew of camera apps NOT made by Nokia, if possible. Can Sony deliver that cameraphone?

Samsung Galaxy J Teaser Trailer Sparks Debate About Galaxy S5 Launch Tomorrow (Video)
Leave it to Samsung to know how to create controversy… They posted a teaser video on their YouTube account in Taiwan, that people have quickly speculated it’s in fact an announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S5. The new handset is expected to debut tomorrow and it’s in fact the Galaxy J.
This model was previously unveiled a few weeks ago and now it could be launched tomorrow in Taiwan. There’s a still a very, very small possibility we may see a metallic Galaxy S5, but odds are that the Galaxy J will be the big deal here. This would mark Samsung’s foray into metallic handsets, something they haven’t tackled before.
This smartphone will adopt a metallic case, a 5 inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD resolution and Android 4.2 as the OS. It also has 32 GB of storage, a microSD card slot, a 13.2 megapixel rear camera with OIS and a front 2 megapixel shooter. There’s also a 2600 mAh battery inside and I’m pretty sure there’s also LTE-A in there somewhere.
