A topic for Sony Xperia series phones. Xperia is the brand name of smartphones and tablets from Sony Mobile. The name Xperia is derived from the word "experience", and was first used in the Xperia X1 tagline, "I Xperia the best". Sony Xperia was previously known globally as Sony Ericsson before re-branding in 2012, as a result of the mobile phone manufacturer being taken over and solely owned by Sony. Latest phone to be released. Sony Xperia XZ1 Sony Xperia XZ1 users can order 3D prints directly with smartphone scanning apphttp://www.3ders.org/articles/20170913-sony-xperia-xz1-users-can-order-3d-prints-directly-with-smartphone-scanning-app.html Japanese tech giant Sony grabbed our attention a couple of weeks ago with the announcement that itsnew Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact smartphones would be equipped with built-in 3D scanning technology. Now, with the added information that the company has partnered with 3D printing service Sculpteo to offer users on-demand 3D printing, Sony has piqued our interest even more. According to the company, users of its new Xperia XZ1 smartphones will be able to order 3D prints of their scans with the touch of a button. Through the XZ1’s integrated 3D Creator application, you can send 3D models and scans directly to Sculpteo, which will 3D print the objects and ship them to your address for a fee. All without ever having to sit down in front of an actual computer. Let’s take a few steps back though and look at the XZ1’s 3D scanning capacity. Unlike most other smartphones which can have 3D scanning abilities via downloadable apps and cloud services, Sony’s new smartphone comes ready with a pre-loaded 3D scanning app: 3D Creator. Using the integrated app, users can choose from a number of scanning modes (head scan, face scan, food scan, or freeform scan) and are given the option to either share their scans with friends via messaging apps or upload them to 3D model sharing platforms such as Sketchfab. Impressively, the app is fully equipped to process the images from the 3D scan, meaning that no cloud service or external app is necessary for generating the 3D models from the scans. Now, by collaborating with Sculpteo, users will even have the option of having their scans directly transformed into 3D prints. They’ll also have the choice of ordering multi-colored prints and choosing from a range of size options. Sony recently demonstrated the XZ1’s 3D Creator app at IFA in Berlin, showing how the 3D scanning app is capable of capturing good quality scans of various objects and faces in under a minute each and without any WiFi connection. Additionally, the app enables users to bring their 3D models back into the real world with an augmented reality feature. Sony’s new Xperia XZ1 smartphone series will be available to consumers as of September 19. If you’re mentally preparing to line up for the new 3D scanning-enabled phone, you might just bear in mind that it comes with a price tag of $700.

The prices for the 3 flavours of long-waited Sony Xperia Tablet Z has just been revealed by HWZ Singapore. And it is very disappointing to say the least. Sony Singapore prices with 7% GST: LTE with 16GB - S$988.00 Wifi with 32GB - S$788.00 Wifi with 16GB - S$688.00 LTE premium over wifi=S$300 or 44% Sony Australia prices: LTE with 16GB - S$826.00 Wifi with 32GB - S$790.00 Wifi with 16GB - S$656.00 LTE premium over wifi=S$170 or 26% Sony UK prices with 20% VAT: LTE with 16GB - S$957.00 Wifi with 32GB - S$861.00 Wifi with 16GB - S$765.00 LTE premium over wifi=S$192 or 25% What does the above tell you? I do not understand why the LTE version here is charged so much more than the wifi version. The LTE chipset use here cost more to make? Or the LTE version here is so much better than the wifi version thus the bigger premium? Or Sony Singapore think we are suckers that we will willingly pay whatever amount they dictate since we are LTE-siao? I have sold off my tablets in anticipation of this tablet but now I am going to give it a miss if the prices indeed hold true. I will gladly get 2 sets of Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 for myself and wife instead. Can somebody who has link with Sony Singapore bring this up with its management that we are not carrot heads? Very disgusted.

Dear Bros / Kakis / Sis of MCF , My dear Blackberry 9000 has successfully started to give problems now due to its old age of 3 and erm.. my rough handling. I am looking for a replacement for this. I will still be keeping this to use as my MY phone.. Important things I look out for in a Phone 1) Camera must be good as I tend to snap anything I see that is nice 2) Email checking must be user friendly 3) MUST be black or a dark colour... So.. This are the models I have considered. Please let me know if there are any other models you guys can recommend.. Thanks [laugh]

http://techielobang.com/blog/2011/02/23/so...-for-singapore/ Cant wait for this phone to be released. Seems like a good phone to suit my needs. Android and play games during those lonely MRT rides. Anyone know when it will be officiallylaunched? News say March....so it could be anytime this weekends or next.
