Leaked photos of Sony’s supposed upcoming flagship surface

Looks like we’re getting a new entire look for Sony’s next flagship, if these leaks are your basis. GSM Arena was able to get their hands on what is supposedly Sony’s upcoming flagship. The Xperia F8331—which will probably get a new name—is unlike the Xperia Z lineup in terms of looks. It has a Nokia/Microsoft Lumia feel to it. The top and bottom of the device is now flat, while it’s curved to the right and left of the device. The camera gets a new layout with dual-LED flash and it supposedly supports 4K video capture on both front and rear shooters.

The screen is slightly bigger than the Xperia X Performance but still maintains a 1080p resolution. It gets front-facing speakers but there’s still a panel at the back, which they speculate could be an antenna window. Its rear looks like it’s been made with brushed metal. There’s also an NFC antenna near the earpiece, USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. No word on release date yet but they’re speculating Sony might show something at IFA this year and this could be one of them.

Two new ‘Shot on iPhone’ ads surface, one of them shot in Ontario

Apple takes us to the great outdoors in our backyards with the two new “Shot on iPhone” ads. This time the highlight is on nature and the zoom feature of the iPhone. One of the ads was shot in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. Called “Shot on iPhone by Linda H.” it shows a slow-motion close-up of a chipmunk trying to break into a peanut with the song “Season 2 (Episode 3) by Glass Animals in the background.  The other clip was shot in Tel Aviv, Israel and labeled as “Shot on iPhone by Tim W.” We see an ant carry a leaf fragment across sand with Charlotte Day Wilson’s “Work” playing in the background.

The “Shot on iPhone” ad campaign shows how actual iPhone users make the most of their iPhone cameras (without any special tools or software) while being backed by songs taken from Apple Music.

Skype updates desktop and mobile apps for Windows 10 beta testers

Those beta testing Windows 10 via the Windows Insider Program get a special treat from Skype. The messaging service introduces an update for its desktop and mobile apps through the latest version of the Skype Preview App. The update brings with it the ability to call mobile and landline numbers from your computer, leave and receive voicemail, and put calls on hold. Skype bots are also being introduced in this latest version. This will let you chat with automated conversation partners from developers that partnered with Microsoft.

The Skype Preview App also introduces the ability to make group video calls with up to 25 people, a feature that was reportedly most requested by mobile Skype users. There is no word yet when this update will make its way to all Windows 10 users. We’re just hoping it’s sooner rather than later.
