Sony just introduced two new smartphones under its hood: the Xperia XZand the Xperia X Compact. With Sony Xperia XZ, Sony just stepped into the flagship game of the year 2016 while the latter happens to be a mini version of its former Xperia X trio. Earlier this year when Sony introduced the Xperia X series, Sony was found taking a step backwards for introducing a not-so-great smartphone with not-so-high end specifications. Sony Xperia X didn’t do quite well as per Sony’s expectations. It also lead the users to waiting for another great device from Sony and undo all the damage that Sony Xperia Z5 and the Xperia X did to the company. With Sony Xperia XZ, Sony has tried its best to up its game. Let’s have a look into these devices and see what Sony has to offer this time.
Sony Xperia XZ
Design and Dimensions
Sony’s new design language, the “Unified Design” has found its way to existence with the all new Xperia XZ. The new design language makes the edges of this smartphone more rounded and adds to the overall beauty. Xperia XZ hosts a Gorilla Glass 4 protection on the front while the back is made of Sony’s “Alakeido” aluminium alloy. Xperia XZ’s dimensions are 146 x 72 x 8.1mm and the phone weighs at 161g only.
Display
Xperia XZ sports a 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080 pixels display with 424 ppi. Sony is sticking with its IPS LCD display. Sony used a 5-inch display on its Xperia X Performance. With the Xperia XZ, Sony has decided to go back to the 5.2-inch display.
Hardware
Sony has embedded a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 CPU accompanied by Adreno 530 GPU and a RAM of 3 GB. The internal storage starts from 32 GB. Expandable storage option stays there. Xperia XZ bundles a 2900 mAh battery which is 200 mAh more then the Xperia X Performance. USB Type-C has found its way on the Xperia XZ, which now makes this the very first Sony smartphone to pull out the USB Type-C at the bottom. Sony Xperia XZ is IP68 certified which means the phone is water and dust resistant. Xperia XZ also supports fast charging. Sony has also worked on the audio of the latest flagship. Sony has significantly enhanced the audio experience on the XZ with 3D surround speaker.
Camera
Xperia XZ features a 23 MP camera at its back and a 13 MP camera on the front for selfies. The shooter at the back hosts an IMX300 sensor with 1/2.3-inch size and 6-element lens with f/2 aperture. 13 MP shooter on the front comes with 1/3-inch sensor size and a 90 degree wide angle lens. Sony’s new triple image sensing technology is supposed to help snap the pictures better in low-light conditions. Phase detection auto-focus is there for snapping the shots quickly. Laser AF and IR color sensor can be found in its camera as well. Xperia XZ’s camera doesn’t come with OIS since there is Sony’s 5-axis software stabilization available. Xperia XZ’s camera supports 4K video recording.
Software
Sony Xperia XZ runs on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box. While Google has already introduced the all new Android 7.0 Nougat and we know that Sony is quite good at rolling out the updates faster, it won’t take too long for us to witness the Android Nougat rolling out for the new Sony flagship. Xperia XZ powers up the Xperia UI atop of the Android Marshmallow.
Availability and Price
Xperia XZ will be hitting the markets by October 23, 2016. The phone will make its way in three colors including Forest Blue, Platinum and Mineral Black. Keeping in view the prices of past flagships from Sony, the phone should lie somewhere between $600 to $700.
We are keeping our eyes on all the updates regarding the Sony Xperia XZ and will be posting as soon as we come across some new stuff.
Sony Xperia X Compact
Design and Dimensions
Sony Xperia X Compact carries the same design language as the previous Xperia Z compact smartphones. Xperia X Compact’s dimensions are 5.08 x 2.56 x 0.37 inches and the phone weighs at 135g only. Like the previous Compact smartphones by Sony, Xperia X Compact is a pocket friendly smartphone as well and fits perfectly into the pocket of your jeans. Xperia X Compact also comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection on the front.
Display
It’s a 4.6-inch 1280 x 720p display with 319 ppi on an IPS LCD panel. The screen to body ratio is 69.53%. The display has a Gorilla Glass 4 to protect itself.

This phone also comes with USB Type-C support which makes it the very first Xperia Compact phone to have this feature. Unfortunately, the Xperia X Compact is not IP68 certified which doesn’t make it a water and dust resistant smartphone. While Sony has added a lot of power into this small phone, we can safely let the non-water resistant properties of this phone fade away.
Camera
The camera setup found on the Xperia X Compact is as same as that of the Xperia XZ, which is quite interesting for the users. A mid-ranger carrying a camera of a flagship is like a bonus at this point.
Software
Xperia X Compact also runs on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with Xperia UI on the top. The phone will also receive the Android 7.0 Nougat as Sony prepares it for its Xperia lineup.
Availability and Price
Xperia X Compact is supposed to hit the markets by September, 25. The phone should cost around $450 – 500 keeping in view the prices of past Xperia Compact devices. White, Universe Black and Mist Blue.

Samsung introduced its new Galaxy On series almost 10 months ago. The Galaxy On series brought two smartphones into existence including the Galaxy On5 and the Galaxy On7. After Galaxy On5 and On7 debuted in the Chinese region. These devices found their way to the other regions after some time of the official release. The Galaxy On5 sports a 5-inch 1280 x 720p display and is equipped with Exynos 3475 SoC accompanied by 1.5 GB RAM.
The standard variant of the Galaxy On5 touts an 8MP camera at the back and a 5MP shooter on the front. T-Mobile version of the Galaxy On5 comes with a 5MP shooter at the back and a 2 MP on the front. As these smartphones happened to be low-budget, the base internal storage was only 8GB with an expandable storage option. Galaxy On5 has a 2600 mAh battery and it runs on 5.0 Lollipop. T-Mobile variant is upgradable to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
The MetroPCS (SM-G550T1) and T-Mobile (SM-G550T) variants of the Galaxy On5 were blessed with a TWRP recovery almost a month ago. With the release of TWRP recovery, rooting these smartphones was made quite easy. Once you have installed the custom recovery, all you need to do is to flash SuperSu and you are done.
Curious users having no or a little knowledge about a custom recovery and root access may be interested in knowing that custom recovery allows you to flash custom ROMs, Mods, and other .zip files. Root access allows you to run root-specific applications and enhance the performance, battery life and also add new features to your Android smartphone. After rooting your phone, you can explore the Google Play Store and find our root specific applications to start modifying and tweaking your phone.
Assuming that Galaxy On5 users have got a brief overview of a custom recovery and TWRP recovery, we can now head back to what we were here for. We are going to show you how to Install TWRP recovery on Galaxy On5 and Root it [G550T/G550T1].
Early preparations
Charge your Galaxy On5 up to 50% to avoid power issues during the flashing process. Check your device’s model number carefully under settings > more / general > about device.
Get a microSD card as you will need to copy SuperSU.zip file to that, otherwise, you will have to use the MTP mode while you boot up into TWRP recovery to flash copy it.
Backup your important contacts, call logs, SMS messages and also copy your media content to your computer as you will have to wipe your phone on the way.
Uninstall/disable Samsung Kies while using Odin. Samsung Kies can hinder the connection between your phone and Odin.
Use OEM data cable to establish a connection between your PC and your phone.
Follow these instructions to the letter to avoid any mishap during flashing process.
Disclaimer:Rooting, flashing custom recoveries and tweaking your device are the processes which are never recommended by device manufacturers or the OS providers. In case a mishap occurs while following the method listed below, TechBeasts or the device manufacturer may not be held responsible. Make sure that you are doing everything at your own risk.

Samsung just updated the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 T805 to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. It was unclear previously whether Samsung will update the first generation Galaxy Tab S to Android Marshmallow or not. The new update came out as a surprise. Galaxy Tab S 10.5 was running on Android Lollipop for quite a while. The new firmware brings all new goodies which are packed in the stock Android Marshmallow by Google. Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow arrived on the Galaxy Tab S for the users residing inside Germany only. It’s unclear when Samsung will expand this update to other regions. As mentioned earlier, this update made its way only to the T805, which is the LTE variant of the Galaxy Tab S. Samsung hasn’t given any hints on when it will roll out the update for other variants of the Galaxy Tab S 10.5.
Users living in Germany are getting this latest update through OTA or through Samsung Smart Switch. If you own the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T805 and you are residing outside Germany, chances are you won’t get this update through OTA or through the Samsung PC Suite. To get this update running on your Tab S, you will have to flash it manually using Samsung’s flashtool Odin.

Early preparations
Charge your Galaxy Note 7 up to 50% to avoid power issues during the flashing process. Check your device’s model number carefully under settings > more / general > about device.
Get a microSD card as you will need to copy SuperSU.zip file to that, otherwise you will have to use the MTP mode while you boot up into TWRP recovery to flash copy it.
Backup your important contacts, call logs, sms messages and also copy your media content to your computer as you will have to wipe your phone on the way.
Uninstall/disable Samsung Kies while using Odin. Samsung Kies can hinder the connection between your phone and Odin.
Use OEM data cable to establish connection between your PC and your phone.
Follow these instructions to the letter to avoid any mishap during flashing process.
Disclaimer:Rooting, flashing custom recoveries and tweaking your device are the processes which are never recommended by device manufacturers or the OS providers. In case a mishap occurs while following the method listed below, TechBeasts or the device manufacturer may not be held responsible. Make sure that you are doing everything at your own risk.
Download the TWRP Recovery.tar file carefully according to your device.

TWRP Recovery for Galaxy Note 7 SM-N930S/K/L: Download
Download SuperSU.zip file and copy it to your phone’s external SD card. If you haven’t got an external SD card, you will need to copy it to internal storage after installing TWRP recovery.
Download dm-verity.zip file and copy it to the extern SD card as well. Alternatively, you can also copy both these.zip files to a USB OTG if you have got one.
Open Odin3.exe file from the extracted Odin files that you downloaded above.
Put your Galaxy Note 7 in download mode now. To do so, turn off your phone first. Now turn it on by pressing and holding Volume Down + Power + Home button. As soon as your device boots up showing a Downloading screen, leave the keys.
Connect your phone to your PC now. Odin should show an “Added” message in the logs and also show the blue light in the ID:COM box. This will verify a successful connection between your phone and your PC.
Now click on the “AP” tab in Odin and select the TWRP Recovery.img.tar file according to your device carefully.
The options ticked in Odin should be only “F.Reset Time“. Make sure that the Auto-Reboot option is not checked, we do not want to reboot the phone after flashing TWRP recovery.
After selecting the file and checking/unchecking the options carefully, hit the start button. Odin will now flash the TWRP and show you a PASS message in a few minutes.
Once done, disconnect your device from your PC now.
Now you need to boot directly into TWRP Recovery. Turn off your phone completely and turn it on by pressing and holding Volume Up + Home + Power key now. Your phone should successfully boot into newly installed custom recovery.
TWRP will ask you whether you want to allow modifications or not, you will need to swipe finger to the right to enable modifications. Swiping the finger to right will trigger dm-verity, if you will need to disable it immediately. Leaving it enabled will not let you boot the phone neither root it. This is an important stuff since we want to be able to modify the system.
Now tap “Wipe > Format Data > type “yes” to formate data. This is important to disable encryption. This step will factory reset your phone, so make sure that you’ve backed up the entire data at hand.
Now go back to the main menu in TWRP Recovery and tap “Reboot > Recovery”. This will once again reboot your phone in TWRP.
Now make sure that you’ve copied the SuperSU.zip and dm-verity.zip files in external SD Card or USB OTG, if not then transfer both these files to your external SD Card by using MTP mode in TWRP now. Once you’ve the files, tap “Install > locate the SuperSU.zip according to the location where you copied > flash it”.
Now once again tap “Install > locate the dm-verity.zip file > flash it”.
Once done flashing, reboot your phone to system.
That’s all. You’re rooted and have a TWRP recovery installed. Best of luck.

To unroot your phone, or to restore it to the stock state, or to wipe off all the MODs and tweaks from the phone, you will need to flash a stock firmware on it. Before you start looking for a guide here and there, we have already put it up for all our beloved Galaxy Note 7 users.
The guide given here will help you to flash/installthe stock Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow firmwareon your Galaxy Note 7 [all variants] and restore it to the factory state. The method explains how you can use Samsung’s flashtool Odin3 to install the official firmware manually on your Galaxy Note 7. This method comes in handy in the situations particularly when you have soft-bricked your Galaxy Note 7, or your phone just got stuck with something and it is unable to recover through any other means like Smart Switch, Samsung Kies etc. The firmware you will get by following the links attached below are completely pure, official and untouched. The only thing you need to take care of is to follow the method to the letter to avoid any mishap.
Early Preparations
1. This guide is only for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (All Variants)
Make sure that your device is exactly as mentioned above. To check out what device you have, go to Settings > More/General > About Device or Settings > About Device and match the model number. Be careful about the device model number, flashing a file on a device not listed here might result in bricking it up. In that case, we may not be held responsible.
2. Battery should be charged at least 60%!
Your device’s battery should not be weak. In case your device goes dead during the flashing process, your device may get soft bricked and you might be in need of flashing stock firmware and that will ultimately result in wiping up your data as well. So, make sure that you charge your device before you start the flashing process.
3. Use the OEM data cable to establish connection!
Always use the original data cable to establish connection between your Android device and your computer / laptop. Using ordinary data cables might interrupt the flashing process, so to avoid any mishap, you need to meet this requirement as well.
4. Backup everything!
Just to be on the safe side, you may consider backing up each and everything from your Android device. This is highly recommended so that in case anything goes wrong, you still have the access to all of your data and you can restore it immediately. Also, clean install is always recommended, that means you will probably have to wipe your device to install the new firmware. So, you may backup everything as listed below.
