Sony C650X Odin Leaked Yet Again, In a Render Made by Jsus

Posted: 31 Oct 2012 04:49 AM PDT


Jsus is one of the sources of Concept Phones, that constantly delivers them renders of upcoming phones or mystery devices not yet launched. Sometimes they look so realistic that we tend to fall for them, other times they’re pure Photoshop work. Sony C650X Odin was leaked by this source through a hands on picture before, so that’s why we pay more attention to this render of the phone that appeared this time.

We’re dealing with a quad core smartphone with a 5 inch Full HD screen, according to leaks regarding the Odin. Jsus calls it a “Xperia 2013 smartphone” and he may have a point, since Sony may keep this newcomer for next year. Sony Xperia Odin was previously leaked in benchmarks and no one had images of it, till the designer came along. We’re expecting a Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU on board of the handset, plus 2 GB of RAM, maybe 32 GB of storage, LTE, NFC and Android 4.2.

At the back there should be a 12 or 16 megapixel camera, with all Full HD love it can offer to users. The design here looks a bit like a combination between the Xperia S, a bit of the Xperia  Arc and the Nokia N9, plus a touch of the first Xperia models. I’m scared to even imagine the $800+ price tag of this newcomer…

Google Search App for iOS Gets Updated, Brings Google Now Elements, Kills Siri (Video)

Posted: 31 Oct 2012 03:59 AM PDT


If you’re an iOS user who doesn’t like the features and voice of Siri, there’s now a replacement app. Google just launched an updated Search application for iOS, that you can download from the App Store. They integrated some Google Now elements and made it more accurate, faster and more pleasant to use.

There’s a new voice feature that will recite answers back to you, just like Siri. The app relies on Google’s huge search feature and delivers a very varied array of answers. Google says that the new app offers fast and accurate voice recognition technology and one can immediately find out if a flight is delayed by asking “Is Air France flight 400 on time?”, for example. Words appear on the screen as you speak and the answer pops up immediately, also being very concise.

The Google Knowledge Graph supports this app and among the examples of questions you can get very good answers to there’s the command “show me pictures of…”, or “play me a trailer of…”, plus questions about weather, current time, date and calendar. You can also find out the members of the cast of a TV show and find local pizzerias, cinemas and car repair shops. The app is up for download on iOS here.
