The Sony Xperia Z4 is a device still very much surrounded in mystery. Sure we’ve heard rumors and seen a few component leaks, but nothing really solid. Today, @OnLeaks is providing an alleged press render of the upcoming device, showing a design that should be all too familiar for Xperia fans.
Newly leaked Sony Xperia Z4 press render
Like every new iteration, there are small changes that lead us to believe this is legit. For one, the absence of the Sony Xperia Z3’s micro SD card slot on the right side of the device. This lines up perfectly with an alleged Xperia Z4 frame leaked alongside the previous Z3 (from the same source, no less).
Here’s an official Sony Xperia Z3 press render.Pretty similar, right?
According to previous leaks, the Sony Xperia Z4 is looking like it will be thinner, come equipped with a Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB of RAM, and pack a 21MP camera. Hopefully battery capacity hasn’t been downsized for this new slimmer model.
Our immediate reaction to Amazon’s latest announcement was that it has to be an April Fools joke, but perhaps that’s a testament to just how cool and future-thinking this product actually is. This is the Amazon Dash Button, a tiny little button that you can press to instantly order replenishment for any perishable product you need from Amazon.
Whether that product is a huge case of diapers, enough gatorade to supply a full basketball team or some macaroni and cheese, you only need to press the button once and Amazon will automatically place an order for shipment to your doorstep. You’ll get a notification on your phone to confirm the details of your order, and Amazon’s app will make it easy enough to make changes to your button’s behavior whenever you need, such as setting up different quantities or flavors.
The buttons can be ordered from Amazon, and the best part is it’s free for any Prime user. You might also find some products that come with Amazon Dash Buttons pre-installed, such as a washing machine with a Tide button or a water cooler that’ll get you jugs of nature’s primary element whenever you need it.
In fact, there’s already one such product that exists. It’s Poppy’s smart coffee machine that’ll make you coffee whenever you need it, whether you set an automatic timer to have it make a batch in the morning, or you tell it to make a cup via the smartphone app for when you get home. Poppy’s machine integrates Amazon’s dash replenishment service to automatically detect when you’re running low on coffee and place an order for more to ensure you get a shipment before you run out.
You’ll see the same sort of functionality in Brita’s smart filters and Brother’s printers. Sounds like cool stuff. Unfortunately we’re not yet sure of some of the details of Dash Button, such as whether you’ll be able to order a generic one to program for getting items such as those that can be bought through Amazon Subscribe & Save.
Yesterday photos of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Activewere leaked out onto the webs. The photos were fairly good quality and gave us a good idea of what the device looks like in the wild. If those were still a little too grainy for you, famed tipster @evleaks is now showing off the device in a pair of leaked press renders.
There’s no question the phone certainly looks rugged enough and in attempt to attract more outdoorsy types, features a camouflage paint job in both black (blue-ish), and white (with silver accents). We have to admit, we kinda liked yesterday’s all black model a little better than these, but to each his own. No word if AT&T will throw in a free can of Monster energy drink every device sold.
You know we’re getting close to the launch of the Motorola Moto G 2015 when press renders of the device are leaked online. This time, the good folks at TechnoBuffalo are doing the honors, giving us our clearest look yet at the device before it’s officially unveiled. The updated aesthetics look nice enough, with the Moto G
Allegedly going by the codename “Osprey” and carrying model XT1540, the updated Moto G aesthetics look nice enough, with the came and “M” logo dimple accentuated by a piece of plastic reminiscent of an LG device or the ASUS ZenFone 2. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any confirmation on the device’s internal hardware, although we’re hearing a higher res camera, Snapdragon 410 processor, and slightly beefier battery will round out improvements for the 2015 model.
