By what criteria do you judge a smartphone? Processing power? Camera specs?  Water resistance, perhaps?

High-end with long battery life is what many phone users and companies expected. According to a latest survey, 89 percent of them want a longer battery life. Even in 2015, if a device lasts more than a day before running out of juice, it is doing well.

The battery test has been made by PC Mark Battery to measure our technology devices battery capacity. We have representatives from major popular smartphone brands. These devices offers impressive processing power however one big difference is that the battery life.

Here is the list of best smartphone battery life (phablets and tablets also be updated)

As we can see, the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact battery achieved first rate with the huge capacity of 4,500 mAh. Followed by is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A battery of 4,2000 mAh and Huawei Mate 7 battery of 4,100 mAh. Many other devices also have the good endurance batteries around 3,000 mAh.

Hope that there will be more devices will be created with large and good battery to support for the customers’ usage! Well, after looking at the list, what do you think about the ranking of smartphone battery life?

Though Sony company has not announced anything official about the new Sony Xperia C5 Ultra, recently, phone consumers can imagine how it looks like a bit thanks to the manual of Sony Xperia C5 Ultra spread on the internet these days.

As we know, Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is a mid-range smartphone which was known as Sony Lavender previously. According to some news sources, the machine is said to be launched in August under the model number E5553.

Looking at the pictures, it is easily to recognize that Xperia C5 Ultra will come with a bezelless screen. Besides, we also notice that there are a selfie shooter with LED flash and a loudspeaker on the front surface, and a camera button on one side. Other other hand, inside the handset, it will sport a microSD card and nano SIM card slot. That also means Sony Xperia C5 Ultra will have expandable storage for phone users to store as much data as possible.

Apart from what we can observe from those images, some rumors claimed that Sony Xperia C5 Ultra specs will feature a 5.5” 1080p display, a MediaTek MT6752 SoC chip, 2GB RAM, a 13MP primary and a 5MP secondary snapper. As for the cost, Sony Xperia C5 Ultra price is expected to be affordable, yet no one knows how much it is exactly. So, let’s wait and see!

If we got the information saying that Sony Xperia Z5 would be unveiled in September not long ago, now we’ve got another piece of info saying that there might be not only Z5 to be launched but also some other new high-end Sony smartphones around the same time.

According to a news source in Germany, there will probably be two high-end machines called Sony Xperia S60 and S70 to debut before the IFA 2015 conference. On the other hand, the source also mentioned that some European dealers claimed that those premium devices would be available at their places in mid-August.

Spec-wise, we only were informed of its 32GB of internal storage and the color options, consisting of white, black, yellow, and coralie for Sony Xperia S60, and white, black, gold, and green for Sony Xperia S70. If they are really the super high-end handsets of Sony launched together with Sony Xperia Z5, we hope to see more great specs when they come out!

In terms of price, we cannot predict anything specifically for now since there is little info of these Sony phones. Meanwhile, some people guess that Sony S60 and S70 would cost even more than Sony Xperia Z3+, whose price in Malaysia is at RM2,599 ($683), quite similar to Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9+ sold officially here.

Well, we are kind of surprised to hear that besides the flagship Sony Xperia Z5, the company is going to release up to other two premium smartphones which are Sony Xperia S60 and S70. Will this duo satisfy phone consumers in general and Sony fans in particular! Let’s look forward to August!

Sony Lavender got leaked!

With this one, we have more detailed info. It will probably be powered by a Snapdragon 808 chipset, having a 5.8 inch FHD display. Moreover, Sony E5706 can feature 3GB RAM, a 16MP rear and an 8MP front snapper and run on Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Though, we still cannot identify the real names of both Sony Lavender and Sony E5706. Some rumored that the Lavender would be T4 Ultra and the E5706 be C5 Ultra. However, actually, we like “Lavender” more. So, what do you think?
