New thread, woohoo 🙌 🙌. Good luck.

It would be good to talk about IoT devices too. It'll be a big year for those.

The only thing I'm not understanding about Qualcomm, whats stopping them from going more slow speed ? 480fps minimum, their SoC are more than capable of handling such speeds from basic raw numbers

1x 4K@60fps stream requires same bandwidth and horsepower as 1080p@240fps, which is also like 720p@540fps... even if we consider overhead then 720p@480fps which is like how iPhone have been doing for a while...

I know that such speeds also require a sensor as not every sensor can handle such speeds, but most high-end sensors do.. I mean iPhone is using Sony sensors already !!

Just support it and let manufacturers decide if they want to implement it or not..

Is there a phone that supports recording videos at 4K@60 fps? Why do you think S835 would support that?

BTW do you guyz remember the phone Sony made for qualcomm to show it's X16 modem in MWC? to this day I long to see that phone materialize in a sony flagship.kinda my dream phone design.

I just want to see more metal in the designs. There is nothing really premium about plastic IMO.

Also, Sony might launch its first mobile game soon.

So guyz,I was bored to death and decided to search for some rumors in Chinese social media.here is what I found from poster called 元交的八妹. I don't think he is a very reliable source so take it with tons of salt.BTW sorry if the post is messy. I'm typing from my phone and using Google translator

so imagine 10" thick Gorilla Glass 7+ to replace brick in your house. IT doesn't have to be see through and the costs over time will be great, it's it own insulation.

I know this is off topic but are you f... serious !!

There's nothing special about Gorilla Glass, it's just a commercial name of tempered glass.. yes Gorilla made some serious progress optimising it for thin and mobile applications like mobiles and so on, but it stays as a tempered glass after all.. don't except to replace you house bricks with glass, that will be heavy and brittle, not to mention very unfriendly for construction, and ooh.. once it's tempered you can't cut, drill, change it's shape by any mean or it will just shatter.. tempered glass are shaped and cut before the tempering process..


regardless of that, Sony is using another brand of tempered glass called Dragontrail, which is used in Z, Z1, Z2 & Z3 IIRC.. IDK about Z4/Z5 & the rest... some sources claims that some versions of Z3 also have Gorilla Glass
Dragontrail is tough, but some says Gorilla is better although no actual test proved which one is better the only thing we know is

1- Gorilla Glass is more popular among phone manufacturers, including Samsung, HTC, Moto, Apple, Xiaomi, Google ( Nexus 4, 5 & 6 ), and some Sony phones.
2- Dragontrail is cheaper than Gorilla Glass, Is it because it's inferior ? IDK actually never saw any real comparison of these two. some companies also use it mainly Sony, Xiaomi, Lenovo & Meizu.

The bad thing Sony did in their phones ( at least in the past with phones like Z1 & Z2 ) is that they decided to put another layer on top of their screens, this layer is just an anti-finger print layer, sadly this layer is very very weak and you can scratch it easily.. you can actually remove it to have another more resistance film instead

Glass blocks in Europe are manufactured in accordance with the European Standard EN1052-2. The International Standard is ISO TC 160/SG1. The Standards allow for variation in sizes and production irregularity. Blocks fall within three classifications; Class1, Class 2 and Class 3 with Class 1 being the highest and best rating with a maximum permissible deviation from designed size and rectangularity of 1 mm

...

Bullet and vandal resistance[edit]
Bullet and vandal resistant blocks are generally solid glass or have very thick side walls similar to pavement blocks.

Fire resistance[edit]
Fire resistance of varying degrees can be achieved by several methods. Standard production hollow wall block will offer little fire resistance; however, resistance is improved by utilising specially produced hollow blocks with thicker sidewalls, or the inclusion of a special layer of fire resisting material between the two halves of the block during manufacture. Some manufacturers of glass blocks have developed a method of bonding two glass blocks together with adhesive, producing blocks of up to 160 mm (6½") thick with enhanced fire resistance. It is important that the block manufacturer's recommendations are followed with regards to the installation of fire resisting glass block walls, as without special construction techniques, the wall will not achieve the desired fire resistance.

Gas insulated[edit]
A recent innovation in the manufacture of glass blocks is the inclusion of argon gas within the hollow centre of glass wall blocks. This advancement in production technique has resulted in a glass block which is able to offer significantly improved thermal insulation properties.
