Sony Xperia Z4

Christian Post Report – It has not been long since Sony unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z3, in September 2014. Soon afterwards, news began started circulating about its next flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z4. This is fuelled by an earlier claim that Sony intends to change its production cycle from its shorter six month cycle to a longer annual cycle.

The first rumored release date of the Xperia Z4 was during the recently concluded Mobile World Congress, but since that has passed, one rumored release date is summer or July 2015. Sony has already introduced the Xperia Z4 tablet which is supposed to be released in June or July so it makes more sense to have a smartphone that goes with it, according to Trusted Reviews. Another speculation, according to Android Pit, is that Sony may launch the full-sized Xperia Z4 in May and the Xperia Z4 compact in November 2015.

Design-wise, some reports are basing their guesses on alleged design leaks which show that the Xperia Z4 may not deviate much from the design of the Xperia Z3 which is based on what it calls the OmniBalance design. TechRadar says that the new phone will “have thinner top and bottom bezels as well as more rounded corners.”

There is also a rumor that Sony may come up with a Walkman version of the Xperia Z4 which will have better speakers, longer battery life and support for music playing, of course.

The phone’s display will also receive an upgrade, if the rumors are true. One report says that it will have a 5.5 inch screen with QHD (2560 x 1440). The Xperia Z3 only had a full HD display. Another report, however, says that Sony just might have a QHD version and a full HD version.

In terms of processing power, the new phone is said to have a 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 810, a significant improvement from the Xperia Z3’s Snapdragon 801. It will also have a 4 GB RAM and at least 32 GB of internal storage.

The phone’s camera will be the same as the Xperia Z3, with a 20.7MP resolution, but supposedly equipped with a new sensor allowing the user to take better photos in lower light settings. It’s front-facing camera is said to be 4.8MP.

The battery will have a 3420mAh capacity. It’s also likely that the new flagship will have Android Lollipop pre-installed.

Motorola Droid Turbo Release Date: Phone Maker’s Best Phone to Date Hitting India Soon
Droid Turbo

Last year, Motorola made some big surprises to keep the competition in the Android realm interesting.

Christian Post Report – Not only was the phone maker chosen to develop Google’s latest phone, the Nexus 6, it also released arguably the best smartphone last year.

When the Motorola Droid Turbo began hitting the rumor mill late last year, no one thought it would be a high-end device. However, the actual announcement of the device captured U.S. interest, especially because its features were rumored to be on par or even superior to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4.

Unfortunately, there was one major problem in that it was developed solely for Verizon Wireless.

But in a recent report by Phone Arena, the device will soon be hitting its first Asian market: India. the Android-powered smartphone appeared in a listing for India’s biggest retailer website, Flipkart.

Listed as the Moto Maxx, the device features a 5.2-inch display with QHD or 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution, 3GB of RAM, and a Snapdragon 805 chipset from Qualcomm.

Other specs include a 21MP Sony-made camera with an aperture of f/2.0, and there is a 2MP front shooter to handle selfies and video calls.

Powering up the device is a 3,900mAh battery, as well as Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box.

While the Moto Maxx would not be as cheap as some of the more popular handsets in India such as the OnePlus One ($306) and the Xiaomi Mi4 ($322) in the same website, the Motorola smartphone does have additional features and higher-end specs to offer.

Sims can now work as detectives, among others, in The Sims 4 Get to Work DLC

Christian Post Report – Electronic Arts has recently announced that Maxis, the company behind the very successful “Sims” franchise, is closing its doors.

It was reported that EA purchased the company as Maxis continued to operate independently while building all the latest games including “Sim City,” “Spore” and “Sims 4.”

The designer of Sim City Guillame Pierre expressed his sorrow over the fact that the team at Maxis and the company itself is now a thing of the past. In his Twitter account, Pierre wrote, “Well it was a fun 12 years, but it’s time to turn off the lights and put the key under the door. #RIPMaxisEmeryville.”

EA announced that they will be merging the studio with their own in Melbourne. They also confirmed that all the games, including the Sims franchise, will continue to grow with ideas from the Maxis team.

Though Maxis is shutting down, fans need not worry about upcoming expansion packs for ‘Sims 4’ being scrapped, as the game’s first DLC, “The Sims 4 Get to Work,” is about to launch sometime next month.

The expansion pack is a hybrid of two popular expansions from previous titles, namely “The Sims 3 Ambitions” and “The Sims 2 Open for Business.” In the new DLC, players will be able to guide their Sims through different careers in law enforcement, medicine, and science. Those who would prefer their Sims to take on an entrepreneurial role could guide them to open and operate their own business.

Maxis has confirmed that “The Sims 4 Get to Work” will be available in both digital and disc form and will reportedly cost $40.

LG G4 Rumors, Specs, Release Date: Korean Giant’s Upcoming Flagship to Run Android 5.1 Lollipop
LG G4 Facebook

During the Mobile World Congress last week, there were still some people who expected LG to announce its upcoming flagship – the G4. However, the lack of rumors before the event was a clear indicator that the Korean manufacturer was not ready to launch the high-end device.

Christian Post Report – Now in a new report by Phone Arena, the LG G4 was spotted via its rumored user agent profile with the model number LG-H818. In the report, the device was spotted running on Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Currently, there are very few handsets that are powered by the latest Android update for Lollipop.

In recent reports, Android 5.1 Lollipop is said to feature better RAM management, a more efficient energy saver, improved performance and fixed problems. The leak reportedly came from html5test, a website that serves as a benchmark for various platforms.

In the report, the device was spotted running Android 5.1, specifically the LMY29F version. This is reportedly the same build that runs on Android One-powered devices.

While the LG G4 may have missed the MWC 2015 in Barcelona, it still promises to pack some of the industry’s best specs.

Based on rumors, the new flagship will feature the same QHD or 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution of the G3, probably a Snapdragon 810, and a better camera.

In an interview with a company executive, the delay in the phone’s announcement is actually a factor that LG will take advantage of in order to perfect the device when it hits the market.

FOX’s “Gotham”

Christian Post Report – Latest “Gotham” Season 1 cast news pointed out the character Fish Mooney to exit in the upcoming second season of the show and one essential Batman character to be introduced in an upcoming episode.

A report from website Daily Mail indicated that Jada Pinkett-Smith won’t be returning to play the fan-favorite mobster character when the second season of the popular crime-fighting TV show hits the small screen.

Speaking with the hosts of Live! With Kelly and Michael on Friday, Will Smith’s wife said that despite the soaring TV ratings of Gotham, it would be unlikely that her Fish Mooney will come back.

“I signed for a year and the year’s up,” the 43-year-old actress explained.

It was also found out during the interview that Fish Mooney was specifically created for the introductory season of the TV adaptation and that it can’t be found in the Batman comic book canon.

She adds that she had contributed a lot of creative input in the development of the fearless gangster.

Revealing further, Smith teases the fans that the current ongoing season will take its bow with a bang.

“There are some great things coming ahead on Gotham, believe you me,” she said. “There’s a lot of good stuff coming.”

Speaking of surprises, yet another character is heading towards the show.

A report from Screen Rant cited Deadline saying that “12 Years A Slave” actor Chris Chalk is joining the growing cast list of Gotham.

Chalk will play the Wayne Enterprises tech genius, and sometimes a confidant to the Dark Knight, Lucius Fox.

As stated, Fox will be introduced in episode 21 of Season 1 and will also return for season 2.

“Gotham” Season 1 returns on air with a yet untitled segment on April 13, 2015 on FOX.

Detroit Lions to Lose Ndamukong Suh, How Will They Replace the Defensive Tackle?

Detroit Lions to Lose Ndamukong Suh, How Will They Replace the Defensive Tackle?
Detroit Lions NFL/Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions now have a big need at DT, what will they do in free agency to fix that problem

Christian Post Report – The Detroit Lions may be a little bitter over losing their best defensive players and NFL firebrand Ndamukong Suh.

“[They] can’t finalize until Tuesday, We will hope he comes to his senses,” an unnamed team official told Josina Anderson of ESPN. The Lions reportedly made a record-breaking offer to Suh off their own but a combination of more guaranteed money and the fact that Florida does not collect an income tax were enough reason for Suh to pick Miami.

If there was any chance of the Lions retaining Suh, these comments sure won’t help. While Detroit did make the playoffs last year they have been a floundering franchise just like the Miami Dolphins. It seems pretty silly to suggest Suh not take the best deal that was offered to him.

While no deal can be finalized till Tuesday, is seems highly unlikely that Suh will balk at the offer from the Dolphins in favor for the NFL team that drafted him. Since the team also declined the option on Nick Fairley’s rookie deal they are now very thin at the Defensive Tackle position. The team needs to resign him and will probably have to over pay to keep him.

The next best option would be CJ Mosely who started 8 games in Detroit last year. However, he is not the talent pass rusher the nose tackle in the 4-3 system really needs but he is familiar with the scheme and at 31 years of age wouldn’t cost that much. Mosely is a better fit as a rotation player but makes a ton of sense for a team that has lost a good deal of its depth at this position.

Free agent Dan Williams has the skill set that the Lions need for this position and at 27 is still in the prime of his career.
