I'll be curious to see what the lag (delay) on this is like when streaming or mirroring from the phone to the TV (hopefully minimal)
It certainly looks a bit more elegant than the normal MHL cables

why would you need it for the nexus 4 given that it supports miracast out of the box?
Because this is the counter part you need to connect to the TV. What else do you think this device is for??

I wonder if the Sony IM10 support would extend to the Sony XPERIA M and XPERIA L
I can't see why it wouldn't unless there is some sort of screen size compatibility issue.... or something.
I wonder about the price...

Talked to a Sony representative yesterday on their chat, to fish for a release date.
All he could provide me with, was "sometime in december".
And he answered that this was for the northeren market.
About the price, the norwegian sony page just says coming soon.
But the english one has it up for "£79.99"
Anyone else heard any specific about dates?

Thanks for quoting the whole OP to add these 7 words...
Hopefully we can get this before christmas then
whats the difference between this kind of device and phone2tv?
Is it just the quality i'm guessing?

I pre-ordered mine through Clove (I live in the states) on 10/4/13. It was originally set to be released early November then changed to mid-November. I just emailed them asking for an update and received a response that they still expect it to arrive to them this week.
I think £79 a bit steep. Does chrome cast not do the same thing?

I don't think Chromecast can use WiFiDirect at this time which means you have to have an outside WiFi source. For me, I choose not to pay $160/month for cable and internet. This device will save me greatly because I have unlimited data with T-Mobile and can stream all I want.
Clove in the UK has the Sony IM10 listed for £66.66 but appear to awaiting stock at this time.
That's the ex vat price, it's £79.99 which is the rrp.

Don't expect too much from Miracast. I have it built-in to my TV and while it's great to show off a few photos or a webpage it's absolutely not smooth enough for video. It gets stuck from time to time, framerate is low, and the quality isn't brilliant when displaying video. You can't compare it to MHL.

I hope not. Your TV is Branded Sony? If not maybe under Sony Quality Menagement they have to put out a respectable device. I hope will be good because I want buy one. I am just worry about Audio and Video Synchronization when you transmit the signal.

It's one of the brand new Sony Bravias. Clean WiFi spectrum as I live in the middle of nowhere and the only WiFi network near is my own (which wasn't in use at the time).
You can't expect something that has to be encoded on the fly and transmitted over WiFi to be brilliant quality? It's OK for photos and low-quality video like I said, but it's nowhere near good enough for high quality video. Video looks like 480p on YouTube if you play it through Miracast. Sound is good though.

You right. That is to much for that kind of device but you have to admit, it's very convenient. We are not ready yet for 1080p via Wi-Fi.

I traded my S2 for a Galaxy Nexus because I read that the GNexus front cam supports 720p videochat.
Well I just found out that it only supports 720p video RECORDING, not video CHAT. I tested in Skype over WiFi and it transmitted in 320x240, which is much worse than the S2 transmitted at! Same result with Google Chat!

Well you should have no problem trading back for a SGS2. If i had a SGS2 I'd make that trade all day long.
Loading software off of LP cassette tapes to face to face video calls in 30 years... but no 720P?? Pointless.
how is a software limitation the phones fault. they limit it for bandwidth through their servers. I don't understated the problem here? just find a video chat that supports HD on ICS.

I can't see any Video chat allowing 720p. For a conference, thats 2 HD video streams (in and out). Your not going to be getting the bandwidth required for that kind of streaming
That would require each member to have TWICE that to send and receive. Plus how networking works, you'd bounce between so many servers that there is no way to guarantee that kind of bandwidth.
Streaming video is much different then streaming live service. Quality of Service is very important here to make sure Video and Audio sync up on the fly. It can't "buffer" minutes ahead (time travel?).
This is why most Video Conference are limited to 320x240 or (at most) 640x480. [email protected] is considered pretty good.
The higher the resolution the choppier it will be. And if your looking for a HD slideshow, then video conferencing isn't the best option. Trust me, when your away from your family for a few weeks, you'll take any resolution.
720p capability of the Front Camera is mostly related to taking stills and local recording.

Also curious if anyone can confirm how much better the loudspeaker is as Samsung has been weak there (my original HTC EVO loudspeaker always seems way stronger than Samsung handsets I've tried) but very glad to read (however have yet to actually hear) that its loudspeaker is:
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-Review_id3134/page/3
"The loudspeaker here deserves special attention - it is very strong, stronger than on the original Note, and much stronger than on the Galaxy S III - but what is more, it sounds much fuller and with deeper bass than what we are accustomed to on smartphones."
Can anyone confirm this? -Thanks
Speaker definitely sounds a bit louder and clearer than original note

I read the the speaker of the original international Note1 was significantly weaker than the US AT&T variant so not sure to which you're referring to (ATM I can only guess the weaker INTL) but how would you compare it to others including the iPhone etc & are you satisfied with it or still disappointed by the Note2 "loudspeaker"?

Not sure if this is the right forum as nobody has posted this information yet, however new phones are announced ahead of CES
You can find this info on google right now however rumored specs are:
- 5" 1080p S-LCD screen
- 1.5ghz quad core S4 Pro
- 2gb RAM
- Jellybean 4.1.1
- 13mp camera
- Adreno 320 GPU
- 16gb storage + expandable memory slot
What do you guys think? Are you excited for the new Sony superphones or are you going to get something else?
The hardware seems very similar to what the Droid DNA is currently offering, except these will have expandable memory which is a bonus.
If the batteries on these are either removable or much higher capacity then I'm in for sure.
5" is a litte too large. Good on the high end specs & launching with JB.

The actual phones are about the same size as the ion so the extra screen size doesn't make it all that much bigger of a device. Definitely not like the note.

Get a different phone and it starts the 30 days over so when the Z's come out exchange it again. At least I think it still works.
As for the new Z's man they look good. Funny to that people still gripe about 4.1 to 4.2. There is not even a real difference I thought?? Other than bug fixes?? Anyway I think this will be a great device and somehow I get the feeling Sony may have a few surprises up there sleeve. :good:
I would love one if I thought Sony would actually keep the UK SIM free ones up to date

What do you guys think about the XPERIA ZL's front camera position?
Is it any good/bad? Or even it's an odd placement?
(Just in case you haven't noticed,it's placed on lower right corner)
Had a play with a Samsung Gear VR recently and it was fun with definite potential for the casual user so I was looking to see if something similar (and similarly priced!) might be in the pipeline and compatible with our HTC 10 handsets... (ignoring the Vive of course as that is in a different league!)
Research reveals Google are hopefully working on something for universal android handset use http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...-headset-that-isn-t-made-of-cardboard-1314517 so thought I'd start this thread to discuss people's views on the HTC 10 + VR headset possibilities... [emoji41]

If you want any real VR usage get a Gear VR + Samsung phone. As of right now the only stuff that works with the HTC 10 would be Google Cardboard, which isn't particularly impressive in the same way the dedicated headsets and Gear VR are.

sure you're right. but my point was that it looks like Google will be releasing something similar this year to the Gear which will most likely work with the HTC...

Most apps and games don't need a button, you can choose with your head, though you can buy a BT controller for VR for less than 10$ for games that need it, or your xbox360, PS3/4 gamepad
Edit: Just tried my Microsoft wireless mouse on the A9 using OTG and it's working even better than a gamepad, no need for special app or driver it's automatically detected by the phone, BTW you can control all the phone's UI with it

Ordered a Fiit VR 2N today from aliexpress, I should have it between 4 to 6 weeks, I will post my impressions coming from the Cardboard 2.0
I got a VR headset for my S5, it's pretty cool to begin with but I don't think any of the apps currently available are all that. There are certain types of video you can watch on it that are much better than watching on a TV but I don't want to mention it on a family forum.
This thing makes a pretty nice Cardboard phone. The pixel density on this is insanely high and isn't pentile. The pixel response rate is a little low so I wouldn't expect gaming, but video is pretty solid.
I am really interested in the HTC 10. Currently trying out the S7 edge and I must say I love the VR GEAR for watching movies. I don't really care about playing games. On the S7, there is this cool Oculus video app that allows you to watch movies in different settings, e.g theater, home theater, moon, etc. Netflix has a nice app as well for the Gear VR. Is something similar available for google cardboard?
How is below? anyone has used?

I guess HTC might know, but Google is probably the one you should ask since its their standard.
Also, there's this little blurb about the HTC 10 "supporting" the Vive:
http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20160311PD205.html
Given the ambiguity and lack of a link, the real meaning was probably lost in translation. We'll see, I suppose.
Considering that HTC Vive is going head to head with Oculus and Samsung in the VR market, I am surprise they dont have a goggle for their phone device.
Anyone tried BoboVR z4 with the 10?
Fiit VR 2N is pretty good with the 10, surely better than stock Cardboard 2.0, though with the given filter the view is too narrow and without it you have some empty space for FOV, but all and all it's still very enjoyable.
I recommend to add some foam or rubber tape on the sides so the screen won't touch the (hard) plastic before any use unless you have a thick case that is protruding above the screen, nobody knows if it can scratch the screen without them

I got a VR headset for my S5, it's pretty cool to begin with but I don't think any of the apps currently available are all that. There are certain types of video you can watch on it that are much better than watching on a TV but I don't want to mention it on a family forum.

So... How was it?
Daydream won't be on the HTC 10. The device has to have an AMOLED screen in order to be qualified. So the best you're going to get is the Bobo Z4 or something else.
I haven’t been able to find anywhere that confirms which bluetooth HD audio codecs the Pixel 6 Pro will have. The codecs seem to be mysteriously left out of the specs. Look at https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7158570?hl=en and compare the Pixel 6 Pro specs with the 5a (5G) specs in the “Wireless & Location” section.
Does the Pixel 6 Pro have adpX and LDAC codecs? If so, please show me a link to confirmed info. I can’t find it.
I am also curious about that... LDAC is extremely important. All modern Qualcom Android phones have it.
I expect Google to deliver here...

I just chatted with the Google Store support and got an answer:
Both phones will support aptx, aptx hd and LDAC.
I’d certainly hope it’s true that the Pixel 6 devices will support Aptx, Aptx HD and LDAC. Thanks for chatting and finding that out. I’m curious why Google isn’t putting that info seemingly anywhere in their marketing materials. It makes me slightly nervous to just take the word of a support chat rep.
I know there’s an article on XDA pre-release where some leakers said the phone would have the codecs. That makes me feel a little better than the support rep, ha.
My Pixel 3 XL supports aptx and LDAC.
I think these codecs are just assumed to be included now.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Well, your Pixel 3 XL runs Android on a Qualcomm chip. That's designed to run those codecs/ the licenses are paid.
Take a look at IPhones for example. They have no codecs whatsoever. High quality bluetooth connections... that's impossible with Apple devices. They crap out way before.
Knowing Google and how easily they f*ck up important stuff, it's important to ask those questions.
I know for a fact that LDAC has been part of the Android Open Source Project for many years now and that OEMs can add it to their devices freely, but they still have to add it. It's not going to appear magically out of thin air.
Good point.
Just got my pixel 6 pro today.
Myself I'm really disappointed it doesn't support Dolby Atmos or and kind of spatial audio. I really enjoy this out of the OP8 I have now. Ordered the 6 and will give it a shot but might end up returning it.

Could you also provide us some feedback regarding SOT/ battery life once you get a feel for it?

Still technically on day one of use but so far it seems as good if not better than my old iphone 12 pro max. For now I am using the same wireless charger I was using for my z fold 3 until I am able to get a google wireless charger. You should start seeing more detailed testing on youtube in another day or so when the embargo is over.

How is it possible that you already got the P6? It's not the Google Store that sent you this, is it? Where did you order your phone?

Noice, would be nice to know what you think of the camera and especially the video quality. Those embargo jugglers don't want people to find out if the phone is truly worth it, before it's sold officially

So far it looks good. I believe it's a 50MP camera on the rear and uses AI machine learning to enhance the images. Video can do 4k and 60fps and 1080p 30fps is default.

So does that mean your headset doesn't support it or the phone doesn't support it?
Never mind, I guess the text would mean that another phone this phone is connected to doesn't support the codec. If it's in the list it's supported...which is awesome!

How do you rate P6P screen brightness compared to IPhone 12 Pro max?

Both seem really close in terms of max brightness. Though I can't see a need to run them at max brightness even in direct sunlight. Adaptive brightness seems to work fine for now.
So if aptx is available then there is some Qualcomm inside. I have the sony headphones with LDAC and that is what I use all the time with my pixel 2. I do a lot of flac and full wav file listening and while it is somewhat lost in the noisy urban world it is nice to have.
