Purported Sony Xperia Z5+ leaks in live photos

Posted on by

Sony is having a press-conference on September 2 in Berlin at a pre-IFA event. It’s expected to announce the Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact, but there might be other devices in store.

Just recently we saw a promotional photo for the Xperia Z5 Compact, while Sony began teasing some advanced focusing features for the Xperia Z5. And yesterday @evleaks shared some interesting intel on the upcoming Xperia Z5 lineup, which is also rumored to include a third member – the Xperia Z5 Premium or Xperia Z5+.

This new Premium/Plus member is rumored to pack a 5.5″ 4K display. You read it right, it’s not a Quad HD a.k.a. 1440p display as seen on the LG G4/Galaxy Note5, but a full-blown 4K a.k.a. 2160p screen. This sounds more like a fan wish, but we won’t dismiss it just yet.

Today we can show you some live photos of the alleged Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (or Plus). There’s no way to guarantee their authenticity, but the device pictured certainly carries the company’s design language, adding a unique twist with its metal back.

All three Xperia Z5 phones are expected to introduce a new 23MP camera with 1/2.2″ sensor, f/1.8 aperture, improved autofocus and optical image stabilization. They are also expected to pack fingerprint sensors.

While the Sony Georgia account on Facebook isn’t an official one, @evleaks says its information coincides with the tips he is receiving.

Anyway, September 2 is just around the corner and we’ll know everything very soon.

Samsung begins Samsung Pay closed beta testing in the US

Posted on by

Samsung Pay will officially launch on September 28 in the USA, but some Samsung users will be able to try it out right now. Samsung has just announced the closed beta test of Pay for the US market.

Samsung Pay has been available in Korea for a week now and it’s proven very popular and useful. More than 80,000 people signed in their cards on Samsung Pay.

Samsung surely hopes for the same high interest in the USA and it is now organizing a closed beta test a month before the official launch. If you own a Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+ or Note5, you can opt to be a beta-tester and eventually you may be chosen. If you are interested in trying out the Samsung Pay before launch, just head over this place for opt-in.

Samsung Pay supports Visa, MasterCard, Bank of America, and US Bank Visa cards. All major US carriers except for Verizon will be natively supporting Samsung Pay. Verizon is yet to decide whether to participate or not.

Play This: Send The Most Soul-Crushing Mail Of Your Life In ‘Unsolicited’

Posted on by

You might know developer Lucas Pope from Papers, Please, the game where you man a border checkpoint in fictional Arstotzka, deciding who to let in and who to turn away. Papers kinda blew up when it came out, in both financial and critical terms. Most one-person games are lucky just to get a mention at bigger outlets, but its success was no fluke. Pope makes the game crackle with detail, from the deviously small amount of space the player has to arrange innumerable documents and folders when vetting potential immigrants to the brief glimpses of the protagonist’s increasingly desperate home life (who gets to eat this week? do you have enough money for heat?).
