Sony C6802 Xperia Z Ultra

Samsung Galaxy Mega I9200

Blackberry Q10 Special Edition

Nearly all the specications (with the exception of the camera) have been boosted over the current Sony agship, starting with a downright massive 6.44-inch 1080p screen. Other highlights include a Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor clocked at 2.2Ghz, (labeled as “the world’s fastest”) a super-slim 6.5mm body, and a water- and dust-resistant design. The screen is denitely the star of the show here. Sony calls it a TRILUMINOUS Display, incorporating technology from the Bravia television line, including the X-Reality video-enhancing software.

Samsung’s newest GALAXY Mega delivers a mobile experience that is larger than life! By all intents and purposes, it is a smartphone, especially as it sits comfortably in your hand, but with its majestic wide screen, it looks and behaves like a tablet.

This special edition Blackberry Q10 will feature a stainless steel gold frame surrounding a pure white body. In addition, buyers will also receive a gold-accented headset and a protective leather sleeve, all while in a special gold themed packaging box. Also have exclusive access to an exclusive range of unique BlackBerry PIN numbers. The specications for the White and Gold edition Blackberry Q10 will be consistent with the Q10 already on the market. The special edition Q10 will feature a 3.1 inch Super-AMOLED screen along with the iconic Blackberry physical keyboard.

Olympus Digital Camera Tg 820

Samsung Smart Camera WB250F

Samsung Smart Camera WB30F

Well, turning rst to its all-important ‘tough’ specs, the TG-820 is waterproof to 10m, freeze-proof to -10°C, shockproof to 2m and, in a new twist, crush-proof to 100kg. That just about makes it ocially as tough as Chuck Norris, albeit with one hand tied behind his back. While we were able to test the basic waterproong, freeze-proong and crush-proong claims (it passed on all counts), the shock-proong element is harder to verify and it’s certainly worth noting that Olympus do not oer any guarantees should you be tempted to test its eectiveness yourself.

The good: The Samsung WB250F Smart Camera has excellent wireless features and an abundance of shooting options for all types of shooters. It has a handy pop-up ash and very good photo and video quality for its price and features.The bottom line: For those who want more camera than their smartphone oers without sacricing the easy sharing, the Samsung WB250F Smart Camera is a good, aordable choice.

Thanks to its ultra-compact microslim design, the Samsung WB30F Smart Camera gives you all the features and performance of a full-sized camera in the palm of your hand. Create professional-quality pictures and HD video with 10x zoom and a 24mm wide-angle lens. You can even share your shots in an instant with enhanced Wi-FI connectivity and Samsung’s exclusive Hybrid Touch Interface. The Samsung WB30F features a wide-angle, 24-240mm equivalent, 10x optical zoom lens with optical imagestabilisation, and 720p video recording.
