Another year for Sony to mass flood their phone into the market.

4.0-inch TFT with FWVGA of resolution
1GHz dual-core Krait Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset
Adreno 305
1GB RAM
5MP back facing camera (EXMOR RS Sensor)
0.3MP front camera
4GB with microSD slot

Sony Xperia M will be available in Black, White, Purple and Lime except the dual-SIM version of Xperia M lack of Lime color option. Both Xperia M and Xperia M dual will hit the shelves in Q3 this year, but their pricing is yet to be announced.
My Opinion : I wonder how many mid range Xperia phone Sony plan to release. They have Xperia SP and L isn't?
*IP67 certified - dust and water resistant
*Water resistant up to 1 meter and 30 minutes
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active will go on sale in the summer in Urban Grey, Dive Blue and Orange Flare color versions. Samsung is remaining vague on exact pricing, but it did say initial markets would be the US and Sweden.
My Opinion : I guess Sony Xperia Z threaten Samsung a bit. The Galaxy S4 Active has higher IP rate than Xperia Z and also features better spec. The spec is similar with the original Galaxy S4 except the lower camera resolution and also TFT screen. It said that Galaxy S4 Active has "Aqua Mode" that will "increase visual quality and clarity for enhanced underwater images and video." So, which S4 variant would you choose? Octa core, LTE or this Active version?
It is a time for new refresh for the Samsung Galaxy Tab line.

My Opinion : Finally Samsung is using Intel Atom processor on their tablet. But for some reason Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 has lower RAM and camera resolution compare with Tab 3 8.0. It also worth to mention Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 already has physical home button just like it's Galaxy phone series. It is ugly if I would describe.
Just few days ago, ASUS already show up few tablets in the Computex 2013.

You can check out full video presentation at here
My Opinion : I think the Fonepad Note FHD6 is the most attractive to me. It features stylus like Samsung Galaxy Note series line and also dual speaker stereo like HTC One. The only let down would be no flash available at the back facing camera. Plus, I would like to see what else the stylus can do. Uhh wonder will Samsung sue ASUS for using the NOTE name? :P Oh did I forgot to mention Fonepad Note work like a normal phone?
So, the mini version of S4 is here. Well not so mini actually with the 4.3 inch screen...

The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini will be shown off at the June 20 event. It's probably then when we'll also learn more about its pricing and availability.
My Opinion : A total strip down everything from the original S4. There are still people who prefer smaller size phone but it is still sad to see manufacture refuse to release high spec for small screen phone. Nevertheless, like the elder brother, S4 mini come with all the air gesture function and also camera mode as well which is good enough for user who are not hardcore. Other than that, nothing surprising.
Finally HTC One stock massively hits Malaysia. I just grab myself a unit. Yes it is my own unit since I wasn't exclusive enough to get review set. I really hope Dygadget get more support from everyone. Nevertheless, I been using HTC One for few days and I think it is not the time yet to give full review. There are alot stuff yet I test especially the camera. Hopefully I can get Sony Xperia Z and Samsung Galaxy S4 together to do shootout ;)
Nevertheless, Here the video I did for unboxing and quick preview of HTC One.
Never regret to get black for myself though it is finger oil magnet. Too many people use silver and I don't feel standout. Pardon me, it is just me who love to be difference.
Before I continue, here the spec for HTC One as I mentioned in the video
4.7-inch Super LCD 3 with 1080p resolution (469ppi)
1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600
Adreno 320
2GB RAM
32/64 GB internal memory
4MP back facing camera with 1080p@30fps video recording (with HDR)
2.1MP front facing camera
NFC
2300 mAh
Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
The body is really gorgeous! Though I love Xperia Z glass body more, but HTC One do really feel premium. The solidness on hand is priceless. The weight is just right, not too heavy nor too light like Samsung Galaxy S4. Not to mention I have a small hand, but still manage to grab it with my full palm and my thumb able to reach another end. The width are almost identical to my previous phone, ASUS Padfone (1st Gen).
Nevertheless, here are my first impression of the phone
LIKE : -
1) Camera very fast responding and shoot! Sometime it shoot before I know it.
2) HTC Zoe work as it advertise. Well not completely perfect depending situation.
3) Photo are sharp enuf for my liking of course if you think not sharp enough for you feel free to increase the sharpness.
4) Screen are definitely gorgeous.
5) Solid body and weight. Not too thin either.
6) Boomsound is loud. Definitely the best for smartphone.
7) Sense 5 less animation, smoother UI!
Dislike : -
1) Not so friendly UI on camera. My friendly UI as in referring more button for quick setup (etc a shortkey button to change mode instead of tap the 3 dot button then change there).
2) I love to activate touch screen capture but it is too sensitive sometime. Accidentally touch also can capture a pic already.
3) WB decided to give warm color on lowlight. Will test more to double confirm it.
4) Nothing to shout on Blinkfeed.
5) Limitation in HTC Zoe is customize the video.
6) Facebook friends pictures appear in Gallery.
7) My unit LCD Panel made by Samsung and not Sharp (LOL).
8) Fingeroil magnet on black unit. I have yet try out Silver.
Next mission : -
1) Test daylight photo.
2) Test indoor photo (restaurant, cafe, more foods maybe? ).
3) Test HDR in both indoor and outdoor.
4) Play more with Zoe to justify it's reliability.
5) VIDEO!
Yeap, that's all my first impression of HTC One. I will provide full review after I use it for few more days and prepare for some shootout between Xperia Z and also Galaxy S4. No, no drop test since it is my own unit. Unless HTC are kind enough to lend me a unit to do so :P
Sony just announces Xperia ZR, a little brother for both Z and ZL. The Xperia ZR includes many of the Z's features in a smaller, more compact design.
Sony Xperia ZR Key Specification :
4.55-inch TFT display with 1280 x 720 resolution with BRAVIA Engine 2 and OptiContrast panel
1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8064
Adreno 320 graphics
2GB RAM
8GB internal memory with microSD card slot
13MP Exmor RS sensor back camera
NFC
Water & Dust resistant (IP55/IP58)
2300mAh
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
To easily take pictures or videos under water, the Xperia ZR also has a dedicated camera button, something that was missed on the Xperia Z as well as last year’s Xperia V. Pricing and availability still unknown. Xperia ZR will come with black, white, pink and mint color.
My Opinion : On the first glance and thought, what is Sony strategy and plan? Why announcing same phone with Z and ZL? Then again, I guess Sony is listening to people wish. Sony Xperia ZR is the answer for people who want small and compact phone but with high spec. Shame that ZR doesn't come with 1080p display but I guess that will make sense if ZR gonna be cheaper than Z and ZL by at least 40%. Glad to see physical shutter button is back and also removable back casing at Xperia ZR. People, this is for you if you're looking for small and high performance phone :)
