this episode of Android Weekly is brought to you by domain.com let's hear it for Sony because they're trying to claw their way back to relevancy you can do it Sony once upon a time Sony could do no wrong it had a venerable army of top-notch technology fast forward to 2015 and the Sony that exists today is of a rather different nature they've sold off their laptop division their OLED division but the company is still trying to stay out of the red and has diversified into insurance sales and banking at least in Japan but the Xperia z4 v throws everything into contention it's a smartphone that has significant changes not the least of which is a qHD display along with wireless charging a slightly larger battery though it is thicker and heavier yes but the Verizon exclusive is everything that the standard z4 should have been but is not the z4 V will ship with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 system on a chip three gigabytes of RAM 20.7 megapixel rear camera and a five megapixel front-facing camera and the same IP 65 and IP 68 ratings for water and dust protection the most noticeable change to the z4 v is the new 5.2 inch qHD that's 2560 x 1440 pixel display which is a step up from the 1080p resolution found on the regular z4 the z4 V also comes with a slightly larger 3000 milliamp hour battery compared with the normal 29:30 milliamp hour battery and features a dual mode key and PMA wireless charging technology just like the Samsung Galaxy s6 so where you guys think hopefull excited or too little too late now let's talk about the oneplus 2 that's rumored to launch next month do you remember when the oneplus one was about to be announced the company is known for really hyping up their products letting fans only catch bits and pieces of information at a time while the madness has begun just as speculation and rumors had began to swirl the oneplus 2 will launch with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor on board which also means it will tout the powerful Adreno 430 GPU now oneplus claims to gone through plenty of testing with other chips but kept coming back to the Snapdragon 810 which has proven to be an industry leader in speed multitasking and superior battery life this chipset will enable 4k video recording immersive 3d gaming great camera performance and more there is one major complaint about the Snapdragon 810 though and it seems to be plagued by overheating issues at least these are problems which have shown up and other devices bearing the same system on a chip but oneplus swears this won't be an issue with oneplus 2 and that it will be quote cooler than ever this is likely because they are using the Snapdragon 810 version 2.1 and this new chips improvements along with hardware and software optimizations should do the trick or at least we hope so we can't confirm the specs just yet but there's been a bevy of rumors surrounding the topic it's said that the device will come with three gigabytes of RAM and either Full HD or q HD 5.5 inch display some say there could be two versions the price should start somewhere between three hundred and twenty two to four hundred US dollars now for those of you seeking out an affordable tablet Samsung is thinking of you though maybe not very well last week the Samsung Galaxy Tab II was leaked packing relatively low end specs at least according to the leaked information now Samsung has gone and made the device official at least for the Taiwanese market the Galaxy Tab E is powered by a 1.3 gigahertz quad-core processor with 1.5 gigabytes of RAM though Samsung has yet to specify what exact CPU it is packing but for what it's worth rumours previously pegged it as touting a speed trum SC 7730 s key turning to other specs you'll find a 9.6 inch LCD display with a resolution of twenty eighty times eight hundred eight gigabytes of storage microSD expansion and a five thousand milliamp hour battery and of course it runs 4.4 kitkat a why ticket is more than a little dated at this stage it is likely that lollipop will simply not perform well enough with these obviously low-end specs now let's be frank at a $225 price point that's not really the best deal in the world we can think of a number of other options that are a better bang for your buck search our channel to find out Samsung is clearly not taking my advice by only focusing on the premium market because now they have more mid-tier options for all of us Samsung has just quietly launched two new mid-range smartphones the Galaxy j5 and the Galaxy j7 in China both handsets are now available for purchase from Samsung's website and will be aimed at a younger crowd other than sporting the familiar Samsung design language these two devices have another trick up their sleeves both feature a front facing five megapixel camera along with LED flash also on the front of the device now that selfie craze is in full circle this feature will likely bring a lot of younger users onboard hmm do you think a 5 megapixel front facing camera is gonna attract a younger crowd I'm not feeling it the j5 on the other hand comes with a 5-inch 720 display a 1.2 gigahertz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor and a smaller 2600 milliamp hour battery a bride to it's t-shirt winning time and I want to remind you that the contest was for the best Android related dot-com domain name that hasn't already been taken
