At least in the US and other major markets, Sony’s Xperia phones have so far failed to secure a foothold. Even after its fairly laudable efforts to reinvent its line with a focus on AI and changing its design language. But for a certain group of Android users, Sony remains the only trustworthy option when it comes to developer-friendly devices. … Continue reading

According to a leaked photo from the other day, it seems that Google could have a new Pixel 3 phone in the works in the form of the Pixel 3 Lite which has been referred to by its codename “Sargo” which was spotted in the ARCore APK teardown. Now thanks to more photos shared by Rozetked, sample photos taken by the phone’s camera have been revealed.

Now one of the reasons why the handset has been dubbed “Lite” is because it is expected to be a cheaper version of the Pixel 3, which means that in terms of specs, Google will have to give up certain high-end features to keep its costs down. The rumors are claiming a lower-powered chipset and less RAM, but there was no mention of camera.

However based on what we can see, it appears that the camera will not be compromised. The rumors claim that the camera might be of the 12MP variety and like we said, based on what we can see and assuming they are taken by the phone, it actually looks pretty good and seems to be capable of capturing the details well.

The photos seem to be pretty sharp and crisp, although they do seem a little “dull” in terms of colors, but that could possibly be due to lighting which can be fixed to a certain extent using editing apps. No word on when the phone will be launched, but apparently it is being targeted at Asian markets where it could be priced at $400-500.

Japanese toy maker Takara Tomy has teamed up with Casio to make a very cool watch and watch holder combo. Casio Japan has introduced this special edition G-Shock x Transformers DW-6900TF and it is amazing. This set is being released to celebrate 35 years of G-Shock and the 35th anniversary of Transformers in 2019.

You get a watch with Optimus Prime’s color scheme of red and blue, along with a transformable Optimus Prime figure that doubles as a watch holder. I mean, just look at how cool this thing is. The watch displays in either “pedestal” mode or in robot form. Or you can wear it. The G-Shock 5600 or 6900 also fits in the watch holder too.

The G-Shock x Transformers DW-6900TF-SET will be officially available on December 8, 2018 for 29,000 yen before tax (~$257 USD). I’m hoping they offer some other Transformers watch sets as well. This one is really damn cool. I wouldn’t mind having a few of these lined up on my desk.

The bad news? Well, sadly this is a Japan-only deal. I know. I’m depressed too. Why do they always get me so excited and then pull the Japan-exclusive crap on me? It’s so mean. It’s abuse really. America deserves this too you know.
