Sony's next flagship phone could be the 'Xperia 1'


Sony's device naming scheme for Xperia phones has been confusing for years. The 'XZ' line of phones serve as the company's mainstream devices (akin to a Galaxy S device), with the 'XZ Premium' phones being ultra-flagships (like a Galaxy Note or LG V phone). On top of that, there are budget devices under several monikers, like the L2, R1, and XA2.
It looks like Sony might be switching up its naming scheme, according to information obtained by Evan Blass (@evleaks on Twitter). He posted an image of Sony's next flagship phone and claims it will be named 'Xperia 1.' The device was previously expected to be called the Xperia XZ4, so this could be the start of Sony introducing a simpler naming convention.

Previous rumors and renders point to the phone having a 21:9 screen, a Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM, a 4,400mAh battery, 128GB of internal storage, and Android 9 Pie. Evan Blass also revealed the phone will have a 4K HDR OLED screen, meaning this is likely a successor to the XZ Premium line (which has had 4K screens for a few years).

Even with 4K HDR OLED?

Sony already teased the release of a 21:9 smartphone for Mobile World Congress next week, so it probably won't be long until the phone becomes official.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
