Sony Xperia Z Ultra gets caught in the wild, UI is unchanged

The soon-to-be-announced Sony Xperia ZU (standing for Z Ultra) has appeared in a photo taken in the wild. That's not the first time we take a glimpse of Sony's first phablet, but it's the first time we see its 6.44-inch display turned on.
Just like the Xperia Z, the Xperia Z Ultra will have a Nexus-like trio of on-screen buttons at the bottom of its full HD display. The purported photo of the smartphone above might very well be fabricated, but it looks pretty convincing to us.
We've already seen Sony's hint of the Xperia Z Ultra (codenamed Togari) in the official press invitation, confirming the device will feature a really thin profile, but we don't yet know how the sheer size of the smartphone will affect its weight.
Regardless, the photo voids a rumor from yesterday, which suggested Sony is going to make some changes to the way its custom UI looked with Android 4.2. Seeing from the photo above, that couldn't be further from the truth, as the Xperia Z Ultra seems to look in line with previous versions of the UI.

NVIDIA unveils Tegra 4i quad-core processor with built-in LTE

NVIDIA, the American hardware company has officially launched its Tegra 4i chipset. Even though the name suggests it's a close relative to the recently launched Tegra 4 chipset, the new SoC is actually an updated version of last year's Tegra 3 with integrated 4G LTE radio.
The Tegra 4i comes with four Cortex-A9 CPU and a fifth power-saving cores just like the Tegra 3, but its 60-core GPU should actually be closer in performance to the Tegra 4 72-core graphics accelerator. There's also the integrated 4G LTE, which is a first for NVIDIA chipsets. This will help NVIDIA offer an all in one solution, something its Qualcomm rival has been doing for a while now.
An important advantage of NVIDIA's Tegra 4i is that it's half the size of a quad-core Qualcomm chipset, which should have a beneficial effect on battery life.


As expected, the chipset also comes with the improved camera features and along-side "always on HDR" mode, Tegra 4i processor is now capable of taking full panoramic HDR photos.


Tegra 4i is rumored to be available in the market by the end of the year and is expected to power mid-range smartphones manufactured in 2014.
