Sony Xperia 10 and 10 Plus Get Verizon Certified, Pre-Orders Open Too

Xperia 10

Those wild Sony phones with the 21:9 displays that showed up in imagery a few weeks before being announced at MWC were the Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus. They are official now, of course, and pre-orders are already live for both at major electronics retailers. Are these phones you should consider, though? I think so, plus they picked up certification on Verizon and will work just fine on most carriers.

To recap, the Sony Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus are like “super mid-range” phones in that they feature solid specs without the hefty price tag. While they may look like super premium phones, the super premium in this line-up is the Xperia 1, which you can read about here.

For the Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus, you’ve got very similar specs, just in different sizes. The Xperia 10 runs a Snapdragon 630 with 3GB RAM, 64GB storage (SD support), 2870mAh battery, 6″ FHD+ display, and dual camera with a 13MP and 5MP setup. The Xperia 10 Plus runs a Snapdragon 636 with 6.5″ FHD+ display, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage (SD support), 3000mAh battery, and dual camera setup with 12MP and 8MP cameras (+2X zoom). They have USB-C ports, fingerprint readers, a bunch of high-end audio support, 8MP front cameras, and NFC chips (Hey, Moto G7!).

They are striking in design, with zero bezel at the chin and thicker tops. We don’t yet know if they’ll be awkward to use with such long bodies, but they should allow for great content consumption. Knowing Sony’s cleaner take on Android and track record with updates, these might be great mid-range $400ish buys.

How much do they cost? The Xperia 10 starts at $349 and the Xperia 10 Plus starts at $429. They work on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Pre-orders are expected to ship March 18.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
