Sony Xperia Z First full HD phone heads to the UK!
The Sony Xperia Z is real! As rumoured, this five-inch Android beast packs next-gen specs including a full HD display – and unlike some of its rivals, it’s headed to the UK too! Read on for all the details.
Those leaks were bang on the money: the 7.9mm thin, quad-core Sony Xperia Z is a monster Android phone with a pin-sharp, 1080p resolution display. It pulls down data from the web at 4G speeds, and around the back there’s a 13 megapixel camera sensor, and unusually, the whole affair is water resistant.
It runs Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean” out of the box, but Sony says an upgrade to more feature-packed 4.2 is on the way.
The Sony Xperia Z isn’t the first full HD smartphone to make it into officialdom: HTC already has one model, the Droid DNA, on sale in the US and Japan. But with a Q1 (before April) release date, the Xperia Z may be the first to arrive in the UK – Vodafone has already announced it’ll be stocking the phone.
Is the Sony Xperia Z the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 killer you’ve been hoping for?.

Raspberry Pi The worlds cheapest computer gets even cheaper!
The latest entry into the Raspberry Pi line-up of super-cheap computers is ready to roll – and at just over £15, it’s cheaper than ever.
Known as the Raspberry Pi Model A board, this version is a little bit smaller and it chomps through less energy, but it does lose a few ports, namely, a lack of Ethernet and a downsize to just a single USB port.
This version is aimed at schoolkids rather than professional and amateur hackers alike: chopping off a few ports means less headaches, and students can get down to learning the basics.
You can still hook up the new Raspberry Pi to the internet by attaching a Wi-Fi repeater to certain parts on the board, and if you do it’ll work just as well as a media centre with XBMC thanks to the 256MB of RAM found on the board.
The new Model A board costs only £15.95 plus tax and shipping, and is available today in the UK and Ireland before being rolled out to the rest of the world.
Itching for a piece of Raspberry Pi? Sticking to Windows 8? Let us know where you stand in the comments below.

LG Optimus Vu review The New Challenger
LG may have given up on tablets, but not on the Optimus Vu - its halfway between a phone and a tablet, a hybrid of form factors that we like to call "phoneblets". The Samsung Note was one of the first, but that doesnt mean it can have the market all for itself. The LG Vu pairs the big screen with a handy stylus to enhance tasks like note taking, something that can be a chore on a normal thumb-operated handset.
The dedicated Notebook app lets you create elaborate, multiple-page notes with images and text, or you can just hit the QuickMemo key, which snaps a screenshot and lets you scribble on it - you can screenshot a website, a part of an email, a document, an image, and just about anything else.
This makes the Optimus Vu a handy tool for putting down reminders or helping you communicate with others - its much easier to explain what you need when you can take a screenshot and sketch your idea over it. Once youre done, sending the image via email, Dropbox, a social network or another channel is just a tap away.
The phoneblet sure has a lot going for it, but its not all sunshine and roses - you can go ahead and copy our notes on where it scores and where it misses.
Key features
Dual-band CDMA, 1x EV-DO, HSDPA and LTE connectivity
5" 16M-color capacitive HD-IPS LCD touchscreen of XGA resolution (768 x 1024 pixels)
LG Rubberdium stylus and QuickMemo button
Android OS v2.3 Gingerbread
Dual-core 1.5GHz ARM Scorpion processor, 1GB of RAM, Adreno 220 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon chipset
32GB of inbuilt storage
8 MP autofocus camera, face detection and geotagging
1080p @ 30fps video recording
Front facing 1.3MP camera, video calling
Wi-Fi b/g/n and DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot
NFC connectivity
GPS with A-GPS
microUSB port (charging)
Stereo Bluetooth v3.0
MHL TV-out
Polaris Office document editor
Smart dialing, voice dialing
Accelerometer and proximity sensor
DivX/XviD video support
Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
Dolby Mobile and SRS sound enhancement
Stereo FM radio with RDS
T-DMB TV tuner
Main disadvantages
microSIM cards only
Runs older Android 2.3 Gingerbread
Wide form factor needs getting used to
4:3 aspect ratio not a good fit for video watching
No microSD card slot
With a rich app package, the Optimus Vu has solid business credentials. It features the Polaris Office document editor and an app that can automate backups (with an option to encrypt them).
You also get an NFC app, with which you can easily share your contact details, web site, memos, scheduling info and more. You can share it directly with another NFC-enabled device or write the info to NFC tags that you can hand out to people.
The extensive connectivity options go on - you get fast data connections over LTE, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi Direct, then theres the fun stuff like DLNA and a T-DMB TV tuner (ok, thats a Korea-only feature).
Were not counting on the LG Optimus Vu being very pocketable, but well be putting the screen under a microscope (even literally) to find out if its worth the tradeoff. Well also look at the rest of the hardware and rummage through the retail box - all thats coming up.

ZTE Grand X appears in T Mobile USA garb at the FCC
If you were wondering whether or not the ZTE Grand X would cross the oceans to launch in the US, theres a good chance the mystery is over. An unusually detailed FCC filing has uncovered a V970T variant thats destined for T-Mobile USA, complete with the carrier branding, Wi-Fi calling and AWS-based 3G data to match. Other details of the Android 4.0 phone are lacking despite the presence of a manual, although the V970 edition weve seen elsewhere runs on a dual-core, 1GHz MediaTek MT6577 chip alongside the more familiar 4.3-inch screen and 5-megapixel rear camera. T-Mobiles release plan is about all thats left to ponder; knowing the entry-level components, though, any possible launch should come with a low price tag.
