Vaio’S Second Smartphone Was Launched And It’s A Windows Phone

February 4, 2016 By Jason Leathers Leave a Comment

Light, sleek, stylish.

Some fresh, out of the box news for those of you who are interested in gadgets: Vaio’s second smartphone was launched and it’s a Windows phone. It’s called the VAIO Phone Biz and it sure looks prettier than its name.

VAIO is a name that people usually associate with Sony, and with premium laptops. However, as of 2014, VAIO is no longer a Sony brand: it was sold to a Japanese investment firm, though Sony still retains a 5% stake in the company. Besides smartphones, the new VAIO continues to make and sell laptops, currently only in the US, Japan, and Brazil.

VAIO and Windows Phone – this sounds like the perfect match. The two embattled brands are fighting to remain relevant in saturated tech markets. A couple of years ago, Windows Phone tried to make a powerful impression with vibrant colors, sharp contours and unusual palettes. After that, things got a little slow.

Now, Windows Phone is suddenly up again and Japanese phone makers are generally keeping colors a little bit more muted, while moving to classier-looking materials. Unlike the plastic build of the Lumia 950, and 950 XL, the Vaio Phone Biz comes with a silver-finished aluminum build. It features a 13-megapixel rear-camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing sensor. It comes with 3GB RAM and 16GB internal memory, which can be expanded via microSD slot.

The Vaio Phone Biz supports Windows 10’s Continuum feature. For those of you who don’t know, Continuum is the name Microsoft has given to Windows 10’s unique ability to mold to the platform on which it’s running. Put simply, Continuum will enable its customers to turn their smartphone into a PC.

The sleek-looking device is launching in Japan in April at a cost of ¥50,000, which is about $400,but  there’s no word on if or when it will become available further afield.

In a poll held by Trusted Reviews, people were asked if they would be tempted to buy a Windows Phone. Here are the results so far:

Still, according to the release plans, American techies who have a Vaio laptop and would like to get a matching phone will have to wait. Unfortunately, OEM did not specify when or if the Phone Biz will be available to U.S. clients, or other markets outside Japan.

What is for certain, is that Microsoft could face some serious competition from the sleek, newly Vaio Phone Biz.

Microsoft; All Set to Unveil First “Microsoft Lumia” Smartphone

November 10, 2014 By Brian Galloway 1 Comment

Microsoft Lumia

Microsoft is all geared up to launch the first windows Phone of Nokia Lumia.  The notable things here is that the new handset will carry the brand name of Microsoft Lumia instead of Nokia.

The biggest tech giant has not yet unveiled other details of the upcoming device.  It merely stated that the new Lumia phone will offer the power of everyday mobile technology to everyone.  This particular statement indicates that it intends to release the new smartphone at a really reasonable price.

Tuula Rytila, senior vice President of the company announced that the new phone will not make the previous model of Nokia Lumia an out dated one.

Thus Far, the entire range of Lumia products gained the attention of customers with its colorful design and high resolution camera.

It appears like this is a new strategy of Microsoft to take a grip on the smartphone markets. Unfortunately, the Windows Mobile products are relatively less popular among buyers as compared to the other mobile operating systems. Therefore, Microsoft tries really hard to make a well-defined place in the line of other smartphones.

Recently, the firm has launched a teaser of the new device on its previous blog which is known as Nokia Conversation blog.  It seems like the firm has forgotten to rename this blog.

Moreover, a few rumors suggest that the new hand set will come with a massive five inch display. The company will power the device with a 1.2Hz Snapdragon 200 chip set processor. However, the new Microsoft Lumia will offer 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage.  The storage size of the device is pretty similar to the Lumia 635.
