<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23.3104000091553px;">Apple’s September 9 event is just around the corner, but it looks like Cupertino will not have any surprises to show on the mobile side. </span>French website Nowhereelse<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23.3104000091553px;"> has released some more screenshots and a video of the 5.5-inch “iPhone Air”, apparently coming this year..</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.3104000091553px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Rumors of the iPhone Air have been growing in the past week, leading to speculation Apple will not hold off the launch of the 5.5-inch model until 2015. This could mean the iPhone Air will be announced at the September 9 event, alongside the 4.7-inch iPhone 6.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.3104000091553px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On the design front, the iPhone Air will look identical to the iPhone 6. The bottom will have the same seven hole speaker on the bottom and all of the buttons on the sides. Apple will not add any buttons onto the top of the device, given the larger size of the screen.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.3104000091553px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The 5.5-inch iPhone Air will be a direct competitor against the Galaxy Note 4 and other “phablet” products. Apple is obviously chasing after Samsung’s market share and the only way to do this is to offer better products in the same category.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.3104000091553px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The iPhone Air will have the sapphire crystal screen, full HD display and A8 chipset. The A8 chipset should come with some more processing horsepower, but early reports claim it will still have only 1GB of RAM, a little underwhelming against the Galaxy Note 4’s 3GB of RAM.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.3104000091553px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">That being said, iOS has always been an optimised and light mobile operating system, especially against Android. If Apple thinks 1GB of RAM is all they need to power the device, we cannot really argue that point without seeing the phone in action.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.3104000091553px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Adding two new iPhone’s into the market at the same time might be bad for Apple, who have been known to cannibalise their own market. The iPad Mini showed that consumers are willing to completely switch for a cheaper option, and we expect the iPhone Air to be the more expensive of the two.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.3104000091553px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This might mean lacklustre sales for the phablet phone, similar to the iPhone 5C.</span></div>

Sony's QX1 will turn your smartphone into a mirrorless camera

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="The Sony QX1 turns your smartphone into a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera" height="358" src="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/sony-qx1-qx30.jpg" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Not content with transforming smartphones into compact cameras with its quirky smart lenses, Sony now wants them to be interchangeable lens cameras too. Revealed at IFA 2014, the firm's new lens-style QX1 camera boasts a much bigger sensor than its predecessors, and swaps their built-in lenses for the ability to use interchangeable E-mount glass.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="The Sony ILCE-QX1 can be used remotely, or physically connected to a phone with an attachm..." height="390" src="http://images.gizmag.com/inline/sony-qx1-qx30-6.jpg" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Like the QX10 and QX100, the QX1 is essentially a standalone camera which lacks a body or a monitor. Using Wi-Fi and NFC, it wirelessly connects to iOS or Android devices which act as a remote viewfinder and can be used to focus, adjust settings, and control the shutter. An updated PlayMemories app makes this easy with a new user interface, and offers faster connection speeds when pairing devices.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The camera, which can be used remotely or while physically connected to a phone with an attachment plate, features a 20.1-megapixel APS-C size (23.5 x 15.6 mm) Exmor CMOS sensor. Combined with the fact it uses interchangeable E-mount lenses, this should mean the QX1 produces the same sort of image quality as dedicated mirrorless cameras like the Sony A5000.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Inside the barrel there's the same BIONZ X image processor we've seen in cameras like the A5100 and A7, meaning the QX1 should be able to capture detailed images with low noise. Indeed, it has an ISO range of 100 to 16,000 and can also record Full HD 1080p video at 30 fps. It also contains a battery which is said to be good for 440 shots, a pop-up flash, and space for a microSD or Memory Stick Micro memory card.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Because the camera uses E-mount lenses (and A-mount lenses with an adapter) there's a growing number of glass options available. However, if you're going to be carrying interchangeable lenses anyway, you might want to consider if you'd be better served by a dedicated camera. The QX1 measures 74.0 x 69.5 x 52.5 mm (2.9 x 2.7 x 2.1 in) before you've added the smartphone attachment or a lens, and weighs 216 g (7.6 oz).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Sony ILCE-QX1 will be available in October for US$400 body-only.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #f36031; font-weight: 300; line-height: 32px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sony DSC-QX30</span></h2>
<div class="article_img" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: table; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px auto 15px; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://www.gizmag.com/sony-qx1-qx30-lens-style-cameras/33637/pictures#7" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1e8dd7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="The Sony DSC-QX30 uses a 1/2.3-inch type 20.4 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor" src="http://images.gizmag.com/inline/sony-qx1-qx30-8.jpg" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="" /></span></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sony has also announced the DSC-QX30, which is more like the lens-style cameras we were introduced to last year as it contains a sensor and lens within its barrel body. This time it's a 1/2.3-inch type 20.4-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, paired with a 24-720-mm equivalent F3.5-F6.3 zoom lens. This 30x zoom gives the camera considerably more reach than previous models, which is why it's good news that optical image stabilization is on hand to reduce any wobble-induced blur.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The QX30 uses the same BIONZ X image processor as the QX1, but has an ISO range of 80 to 12,800, and can only shoot JPEG stills, rather than the more post-processing friendly RAW files of its interchangeable lens sibling. However, the QX30 boasts lock-on AF for tracking moving subjects, is capable of continuous shooting at up to 10 fps, and can record Full HD 1080 video at 60 fps.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Measuring 68.4 x 65.1 x 57.6 mm (2.7 x 2.6 x 2.3 in) and weighing 193 g (6.8 oz), the QX30 is an easy-to-carry way of boosting your smartphone photography if you're constantly in need of more reach. Its battery is said to be good for around 200 shots, and as with the QX1 it can shoot directly to the smart device, or a microSD or Memory Stick Micro memory card.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Sony DSC-QX30 will be available in September and will set you back $350.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You can check out the QX1 in the Sony promo video below.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Looking at the HK Apple store page and converting the iPhone 5S price tags to USD, we can see that the current smartphone goes for around between $70 and $80 more in Hong Kong, depending on the tier. Keeping that in mind, we can guesstimate prices for the iPhone 6 to be at:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Of course, we are talking retail prices here – without contract. From these numbers, we can see that the 5.5" iPhone 6 will be quite the premium device, the 16 GB model starting at ~$50 above an 11" MacBook Air, and the top-tier 64 GB one costing ~$150 shy of a bottom-of-the-line 13” Retina MacBook Pro. Or, to put things in perspective, a 4G-capable iPad Air with 128 GB of storage currently costs $929.</span></div>

Nokia to build a 5G test network

Nokia bought out Siemens’ share of the company and what was once known as Nokia Siemens Networks, is now Nokia Networks.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Nokia Networks builds switchgear that mobile carriers use to manage and grow their networks. Competitors are other well-known names like Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, and Huawei. All these companies will play a role in determining the standard that will become the fifth major generation in wireless communication, called affectionately, 5G.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Nokia is going to build a test network in Oulu, Finland early next year. As the data transfer test network develops, Nokia has also stated that it will share the APIs with invested partners and even competitors. The goal is to shape a new collaborative model. This is a good thing, as it will probably mean there will be fewer growing pains among any competing standards that may emerge.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">There is no firm specification for what 5G will be. Most ideas appear unified to being able to provide 1,000 times the capacity of today’s LTE networks, and data throughput somewhere between 10 and 100 times the common data rate today. Energy consumption will definitely be part of the standard, with a goal to reduce it by as much as 90%. Expectations are also being made that latency will be reduced by about five times, end-to-end. Those are some impressive numbers to look forward to. It should mean data speeds in excess of 500Mbps, and latency in the sub-20-millisecond range.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Nokia has already been </span>in discussions with NTT DoCoMo<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"> about the next generation of wireless. Samsung will be joining Nokia as </span>a part of DoCoMo’s 5G trials<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"> in Japan. Most believe we will see the first commercial deployments of 5G will be in place by the year 2020.</span></span><br />
