The first look at the reworked Sony Xperia phone design




We know that Sony is finally planning to change the design of its phones, and we might have just got our first look at what that change will involve.
Georgian site Vortex.ge claims to have acquired design drafts for two upcoming Sony handsets and has created renders based on them, one of which is a very angular flagship which has a mirror-like back.
There are curved sections of a different shade at the top and bottom, while the front has a seemingly large screen of apparently 4K resolution, and small bezels above and below. It’s a striking design, but most striking is the claim that the fingerprint scanner will be built into the screen.
That’s something that both Apple and Samsung have been rumored to be working on, so it could be a big win for Sony if it gets there first.
The site also claims this phone – which might be the Sony Xperia XZ Premium 2 – has a Snapdragon 845 chipset, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a dual-lens rear camera and front-facing stereo speakers.





A more conventional option

The other phone pictured is expected to be a lower-end one but still looks premium, so perhaps it’s the Sony Xperia XZ2. There’s less information on this one, but it apparently has a fingerprint scanner on the back rather than in the screen.
You can see from the renders that it also has a dual-lens camera but that the design is slightly plainer, with what appears to be a metal back and slightly curvier corners, along with similarly small bezels above and below the screen.
We’d take all of this with a pinch of salt, especially the claims of an in-screen scanner, but with Sony set to change the design of its phones sooner or later it’s possible that this is accurate.
  • These phones will have the Samsung Galaxy S9 to compete with

MacPorts Brings the Best Open Source Software to Your Mac

It’s safe to say that the Apple ecosystem brought “app stores” to the mainstream. Before the introduction of the iPhone, buying digital software was often full of trials like submitting your payment to the developer’s website, waiting for a license key by email, and negotiating refunds. You’d be forgiven for thinking that free and open source software (FOSS) is rare on the Mac, given Apple’s approach. In reality, the Mac is an excellent host for many of the community’s best free tools. MacPorts  is your “app store” for all this great software. Let’s take a look at how it works. What Is MacPorts? MacPorts is a package system for Macs. It’s very similar in function and use to the Red Hat Package Management (RPM) system and Advanced Package Tools (APT), which install DEB packages on Linux. Actually, it descends from the Ports system of FreeBSD. Did you know Mac OS X started its life as a fork of FreeBSD called Darwin? Even today macOS has a sol...

Google Birthday Surprise Spinner: The Best Games And How To Play them

Google is celebrating its birthday in perhaps the most Google of ways: with a Doodle that lets you play through the most fun Doodles ever. The company is now 19 years old (or is it?) and so has a huge stock of entertaining and time-wasting little animations to play through. So it has selected the best of recent years and assembled them all into the meta-Doodle, which lets people use a spinner to find which of the Doodles to play. Using the Doodle is simple enough: you head to the Google homepage, click on the spinner, and opt either to play the option you've been given or have another go. But read on, because there's a major catch. In some cases, they're actually better than the times they were Google Doodles. That's because the company has made them full screen this time around, allowing you to see everything you're doing without all that bothersome Google branding getting in the way. For most people, picking through the games is an initially fu...
