Camera shoot-out: Sony Xperia S vs. Sony Xperia Z

As I've recently acquired the latest and greatest Sony Xperia Z as an upgrade from the Xperia S, I thought to share few comparison camera shots between both handsets. Not being an imaging expert my feeling is that the Z generally produces better quality pictures, however I have noticed on few occasions that it does fairly heavy post-processing and fine details are sometimes blurred a little. Yet still, the noise seems to be much reduced in the Xperia Z shooter, which was major concern with Xperia S camera.

Few sample shots below - just click on each for high-res version. All photos were taken using fully automatic mode on both devices.

Although I'm self-proclaimed mobile gadgets maniac, somehow I don't usually follow major events in the industry as closely as someone could think. However, since I consider getting a new smartphone to replace my current HTC Desire Z sometime soon'ish, I was keeping an extra eye on the recent happenings in Barcelona where Mobile World Congress took place.

Sony Ericsson Xperia pro - thoughts and review

My recent involvement as an author in Coolsmartphone technology blog has opened an opportunity to get my hands dirty with mobile gadgets I'd probably never had chance to play with. One of the latest example was Sony Ericsson Xperia pro - a full-sized hardware qwerty handset, powered by Android Gingerbread due to receive Ice Cream Sandwich soon.

Judging by nowadays standards Xperia pro perhaps isn't the most compelling handset out there, yet it is still very good looking, reasonably specced and reliable handset, sporting fantastic hardware qwerty keyboard too. Official upgrade to ICS just behind the corner is surely a huge plus too. Considering that combination doesn't really occur often in Android world, Xperia pro is definitely worth a shot, especially with very attractive £272 price tag at Handtec.

I've written up a full review at Coolsmartphone, so read on if interested.
