Pokemon X and Y releasing in October!

Probably one of the best news I have received this year involves Pokemon X and Y!

This is the pokemon game to be released for the Nintendo 3ds. And it is beautiful~ Check out these trailers!

Flagships, are meant to fly~

To be honest, I've been wanting to post phone stuff just about all the time after I introduced one into my world, but I just didn't know how, so excuse these posts for being late but I'm trying to catch up on everything that I wanted to write about but was so lazy of doing so =)

So Sony had just released its first flagship phone ever, before this, Sony was just aiming for the midrange market and I can tell you, some of their offerings are great because of that but yeah, a first flagship smartphone, dubbed the Xperia Z. Did you know that the Xperia Z has a hydrophobic twin called the Xperia ZL, they're very similar except that the ZL has a physical shutter button and the Z is without one, the ZL is also smaller but sports the same processor and camera AND its not water resistant, and (believe me this is the last 'and') it has an IR Blaster (meaning you can use the phone like a remote for your TV, technology nowadays *sigh*).

Believe me, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference at first glance, oh yea, the front camera is at the bottom bezel instead of the top bezel.

God, there is just so much to talk about but there are also a lot of recent updates so I'll try to cover them both so my blog will be jumping from one subject to another~

Xperia Z, the dream phone I've always wanted

Ahhhh, I still remember the time I first watched the ad Sony had posted on their new flagship phone, the Xperia Z and it was quite literally the phone I've had always dreamed of! Here's the ad.

I know this post is a tad bit late, but the story behind my liking of smartphones stemmed from when I was going to get my very own smartphone. The start of that story was what led to me reading up and comparing smartphones. My first thought was, what did this all mean? They had a long list of specifications, all from the processor to the display to the camera to the battery life. I had my own share of homework to research those and alhamdulillah, now, I can practically understand why that phone is good or bad and also know whether the company is just outright cheating you out of your money. It was with this research that I've settled for my current smartphone, Xperia Sola. But quite enough about that, before this interest, I did imagine a world where smartphones would just be one transparent slab of glass that could magically show images. And those images would be inside the glass slab, just floating there.

Something like the walkman here, except you can see through the glass and you could never tell where the screen started or where it would end. Then, Sony just had to release this gem,

Yeah, go back to my imagined phone and the only thing lacking here was the transparent glass slab but EVERYTHING else was in line! And after understanding a smartphone's specifications, it just got better, at the time of its release, this topped any other phone compared to it. It had a quad core processor, clocked at 1.5 ghz, a full HD 1080p display, the Samsung S3 had a 720p display and a whooping 13 mp camera. Yeap, and just to make things better, it was water resistant, YOU COULD FRIGGIN DUNK THIS THING INTO WATER

But of course when reality struck and I started reading reviews of this thing, you just had to come to realise that nothing is perfect. This phone had a washed out screen when tilted just a bit (who views the phone at an angle anyways) and the camera didn't deliver like people wanted it to (I still think its a good camera) plus the phone's speaker was tiny (both speakers, I blame waterproofing). You might think that I'm biased and I agree with you, I am, because this phone was something I had dreamed of when I was a kid and Sony just made it come true. This does not mean I disagree with its flaws, in fact, I'm frustrated that Sony pulled some punches with this device that was supposed to rival the HTC Butterfly, HTC One, Samsung S4, iphone 5 and Oppo Find 5. So Sony, get your game up and fix what people didn't like, and next time, no more pulling punches... Promise? =)

I'm Teching Up!

Just a few months ago I've managed to convince my dad to get me a new phone~ he was already thinking of getting me one so alhamdulillah all I had to do was ask! The phone I got was Sony Xperia Sola, the device I've settled for after countless hours reading reviews and looking at phones and comparing prices~

Spec Sheet:
Dual core, 1ghz processor
512mb ram
Mali-400 gpu
4gb internal storage
SD card expandable
3.7 inch screen
265 pixel per inch
5mp camera
No Front Camera

Additional Gimmicks
Floating touch

I'm happy with my choice, it is a good phone alhamdulillah, it can handle simple tasks effortlessly and can play most games, but the main point I'm getting to here is that, it's android and I've downloaded the blogger app! I don't know if this means I can post more but it's definitely easier to post when I feel like it~ in fact this post was posted using my phone!

Macro Shots

Just a quick post to make sure this blog is not completely dead, story behind these pictures I will show you are, we went to a plant nursery as my mom wanted to get some stuff for gardening. Now, rather than just hanging around doing nothing, I thought it would be nice to get some good pictures for my phone's wallpaper cause they were kinda getting old...
