Motorola Droid RAZR HD and Sony Xperia SL Leaked in New Pictures

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 12:05 PM PDT


With IFA 2012 growing closer and closer it would be high time to start seeing some detailed pics of the devices that will be introduced in Berlin. Among them we find the Sony Xperia SL, that looks just like the Xperia S as far as the design goes, but upgrades the CPU. There’s also the Motorola Droid RAZR HD, that I’m not sure we’ll see at IFA.

This is the Verizon version of the Droid RAZR HD, so Europeans must wait for the international version. This new RAZR features a kevlar battery cover with an interesting and grippy texture at the back. The device supports LTE connectivity and runs Android 4.0 ICS, although Jelly Bean should arrive fast, considering the relationship between Moto and Google. The Droid RAZR will feature a 720p screen, a 2.500 mAh battery and a dual core Snapdragon S4 1.5 GHz CPU, as well as 16GB of storage and an 8 megapixel camera.

Sony Xperia SL is more of a mystery and aside from the dual core 1.7 GHz CPU we have no idea what’s changed from the Xperia S, although I doubt that much has changed. This is only one of the many phones that Sony will bring at IFA, including the Xperia J, Xperia Mint and Hayabusa.

HTC One X Gets Android 4.0.4 Update, Brings Lots of Improvements

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 05:31 AM PDT


If you’re the owner of a HTC One X, the XL version available on AT&T, you may be happy to know that there’s a big update coming your way, soon enough. I’m talking about a 270MB update now available to some lucky users and there’s no official changelog to publish sadly, but users have noticed some clear improvements.

Android 4.0.4, system software 2.20 will change the depiction of the phone’s menu bar in certain apps, where it looked like an ugly black space before, but now it’s cleared up. There’s also new contextual behaviour, with extra options for the handset’s recent apps button. Users are reporting that the multitasking experience has improved and the they feel that the device’s lag is reduced and operation is quicker. There’s also a bit of a problem with the update, that it closes the holes used by developers to root the phone.

So, if you want to keep your root, you’ll stay away from this, but will you actually do that? You’ll need to update at some point and it’s always better sooner than later. If you’re truly set on not updating, there’s always CyanogenMod and their quick updates.
