Sony will launch the Xperia Z4 as the Xperia Z3+ globally next month

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

Sony today announced that its new Xperia Z4 is going on sale outside of Japan for the first time next month, only it won’t be known as the Xperia Z4. Instead, it will be named the Xperia Z3+, but its physical design and specifications remain unchanged.

The Xperia Z3+ is essentially a slightly improved Xperia Z3. It has the same 5.2-inch display with 1080p resolution, the same 20.7-megapixel camera, and a very similar look that comes in the same color options as its predecessor — as well as a new aqua green option.

However, the Xperia Z3+ is slightly slimmer than the original Z3 at 6.9mm (vs. 7.3mm), which means a slightly smaller 2,930mAh battery — and while it is still water-resistant, Sony has been able to do away with the fiddly flap that covered its micro-USB port.

The Xperia Z3+ also boasts the latest Snapdragon 810 processor with Adreno 430 graphics, 3GB of RAM, and a microSD card slot. It ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

If you already have an 8-month-old Xperia Z3, the Z3+ isn’t going to look like much of an upgrade — not even for hardcore Sony fans.

That could make it difficult for the Xperia Z3+ to compete against the rest of 2015’s flagships — particularly the Galaxy S6 and the LG G4, which boast sharper Quad HD displays. But the Xperia Z3+ does have the upper-hand when it comes to water-resistance.

Sony hasn’t confirmed how much the Xperia Z3+ will cost yet, but it will be available globally in June.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

The Sega Saturn hit shelves 20 years ago today

20 years ago today, one of the weirdest consoles we’ve seen hit the market: The Sega Saturn. Looking at the image above, if you haven’t seen the Saturn before, it might not look that weird at a glance – disc tray, six buttons on the controller, black plastic. Nothing too bizarre there. It’s how Sega got to the Saturn that’s strange. Sega was riding high on the wild success of the Sega Genesis at the time. Sega of America had taken the Mega Drive, renamed Genesis in the United States, from a tiny also-ran to an equal player against the Super Nintendo. Sega was, of course, looking for the next big thing. Sega of America’s president Tom Kalinske courted Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Olaf Olafsson first, almost reaching a deal to cooperate on a new console. That fell through, just as Sony’s negotiations with Nintendo had before that. When Kalinkse brought the idea to the board at Sega of Japan, they weren’t interested in working with the guys who make Walkman stereos (kids, ask your...
