Huawei Ascend Mate 3 specs confirmed via AnTuTu

Huawei Ascend Mate 3 is out in the open again but still not official. A few days ago we saw its back panel and now we get confirmation of the rumored specs from an AnTuTu screenshot. The Mate 3 maintains the traditional for the series 6.1" screen but makes the jump to 1080p resolution.

The Ascend Mate lineup in the past has traditionally included mid-range phablets - but that was obviously only until now. It seems that the latest model will be moving towards a higher-end position.

The Ascend Mate 3 is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 920 chipset (four Cortex-A7 plus four Cortex-A15 cores), with 2GB or 3GB RAM and it runs Android 4.4.2. It's the same chipset used in the Huawei Honor 6, Huawei bragged about it beating Snapdragon 805-basedcompetition when it announced that.

The camera is the same as on the Ascend Mate2 4G, a 13MP main camera with 1080p video capture and a 5MP selfie camera.

When the back panel photos leaked it wasn’t perfectly clear but the new rumor suggests that the panel is made of metal. That still leaves the question what the second hole on the back is for (a fingerprint scanner?).

Sony posts positive quarter, strong PS4, weak PC sales

Sony has released its financial results for the three months ending June 30, or the first fiscal quarter for the company. In this time Sony has made $265 million of net income on around $17.9 billion of total revenue - a 5.8% increase compared to last year's Q1.

The majority of the positive numbers has come from Sony's Games and Network Services department, which includes positive sales of the PlayStation 4. Good box office performances for the movies The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and 22 Jump Street also stand behind the positive numbers. Last but not least a favorable impact on stock exchanges thanks to a strong-performing Yen.

Sony has reported some losses though, which it attributes primarily on the company's exit of the PC business. It has resulted in a significant drop in unit sales, a 33.8% one year over year.

Sony's smartphone sales took a dive as well but the company posted a revenue increase thanks to the favorable foreign exchange rate for the Yen. In the end Sony has earned $3.1 billion from smartphone sales but recorded a $27 million operating loss in Q1.
