Sony Xperia Z3 About screen leak reveals Snapdragon 801 processor and more

Just a few days back we saw the ‘About Phone’ screen shot supposedly belonging to the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. Now a similar ‘About Phone’ screen image alleged to be that of Sony’s upcoming and eagerly awaited flagship smartphone the Xperia Z3, has appeared on the net.

The ‘About’ screen image purportedly to be that of the Sony Xperia Z3 has been posted by Xperiablog. The image is that of model no. D6653. Readers may recall that this D6653 model no. has been certified by TÜV Rheinland for Sony last month and was speculated to belong to next Sony flagship Xperia Z3.

The screen image shows the processor to be Qualcomm MSM8974PRO-AC Snapdragon 801 which might be a little disappointing to Sony fans as most are expecting the Japanese giant to use Snapdragon 805 in its next Xperia device. The upcoming handset will run Android 4.4.4 Kitkat version.

The smartphone has baseband version beginning with 8974-…. Kernel version starting with 3.4.0-perf-…  and Build number starting with 23.1….. The source says that the resolution of the screenshot is 1080p which means that the Xperia Z3 will have the full HD display and not the Quad HD one as expected. So the only interesting change in the upcoming Xperia Z3 seems to be its 7mm slim body.

That’s about all the info available this time round. Information/speculations/leaks about the upcoming Xperia Z3 keep trickling in now and then, building up the excitement. We’ll probably find out what the real Xperia Z3 is going to be like during the IFA 2014 to be held in September, when the handset is expected to be launched.

NVIDIA Tegra K1 Destroys Tegra 4 and Snapdragon 801 in Benchmarks

The Tegra K1 is the fastest in Nvidia’s latest series of SoCs. SoC stands for system on a chip, so its basically a chip with contains not only the GPU but many other components like wifi and RAM and other stuff. The Tegra K1 chip is to be released in both 32 bit and 64 bit forms. The 32 bit chips are to be released first. Since Tegra K1 is a huge leap in performance, we have been waiting patiently for a phone to be released that takes advantage of the Tegra K1′s muscle.

After several months of waiting its finally here, Xiaomi has announced the first tablet to use the Tegra K1. This could mean that the Tegra K1 will now start appearing in more devices soon. Thats all great but how does it fare against the Snapdragon 801 and the Tegra 4? I hear you ask. Well lets look at some graphs and find out. As a matter of fact I have some graphs right here. Lets take a look.

 

Nvidia Tegra K1 Punches Competition In The Face

Nvidia  has been telling us that the Tegra K1 will be extremely powerful. Nvidia is using the CUDA technology in this chip, making it the first of its kind. In fact they are even making claims that the Tegra K1 is 50 times faster than the Tegra 2, and that it can beat the Xbox 360 and the PS3 all the while consuming less power. Now thats just ridiculous Nvidia.

 

Wow, that was a lot. Well we can tell by looking at these graphs that the blue line is winning a lot. It must be faster and its probably better than those snapdragon 801 and and tegra 4 chips.

The K1 is faster in browsing and games, and it doesn’t use a lot of power either. It really impressed us, We live in interesting times and a lot of interesting things are definitely happening in the smartphone tech industry.

So what do you think? Are you excited about this or is it just another boring super fast chip. Let us know in the comments section below.
