Japan-bound Sony Xperia UL leaks out with 5-inch screen, reportedly packs Snapdragon 600
It was only a couple of weeks ago that we got an early peek of T-Mobile’s Xperia Z thanks to the FCC, but we’ve now already gotten word of another unannounced Sony handset. While the published FCC report doesn’t offer much more than a label, Blog of Mobile has turned up some images of what’s purported to be the Xperia UL (codenamed “Gaga”), giving us an early look at the 5-inch device clearly inspired by other members of the family design-wise. What’s more, the UL is allegedly sporting Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 chip, along with 2GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage, a 2,300mAh battery and waterproof / dustproof attributes (these being common Japanese standards). Word on the internet is the Xperia UL will be launching as a KDDI exclusive, though we’ll have to wait for something more concrete to see if that’s indeed the case. Until then, you can peruse the gallery after the break to get a slight idea of what to expect.

Samsung Introduces Side Sync: ‘PC In Mobile, Mobile In PC’ With A Fatal Flaw
Samsung has just announced details of a new syncing/file management tool called Side Sync, which it mentioned last month alongside new ATIV PC branding.
The basic idea behind the app is easy, painless file and information transfer from PC to mobile and vice versa. This is accomplished using a dock that plugs into your PC’s USB port. Once hooked up, you can share your mouse and keyboard with your Samsung phone, dragging and dropping files, and copying and pasting information as you please. Users can also set the service to automatically sync photos. Here’s Samsung’s introductory video for the product:
As great as the service looks, the tagline “PC in Mobile, Mobile in PC” is at least a little misleading – Side Sync doesn’t just work with just any PC – it’s only compatible Samsung PCs.
- Dropbox Unveils New Sync API For Mobile Devs, Makes Dropbox Integration In Apps Smoother And Simpler
- Western Digital Launches The WD 2go App Allowing My Book Live Customers Remote Access To Their Data
- [New App] ‘My Sync Center’ Offers Automatic Two-Way Data Sync Between Your Android Device And PC Over Wi-Fi

Can Samsung and Mozilla Revolutionize the Mobile Browser?
Anyone who has owned a BlackBerry smartphone knows the pain of mobile browser evolution. Before 2007 we merely accepted it as reality. There were no good mobile browsers, so users didn’t think much of it. But then came the iPhone with Safari, and with it a much smoother and easier mobile browsing experience. We can credit Apple with showing us what mobile browsers can do.
Safari for iOS has taken several steps forward since then. Google has its own answer, not with the default Android browser but with a mobile version of Chrome. There are some decent third-party browsers such as Skyfire, which allows Flash on iOS, and Opera Mini, but they’re mostly for niche audiences. The masses will get along just fine with Safari and Chrome.
(I suppose it’s not shocking that more people use the Android browser than Chrome, but it’s still a head scratcher. Chrome is a far better browser, and it’s free.)
In the above link you’ll see market share information for mobile browsers. What you might not notice is the absence of a very familiar browser: Firefox. There is indeed a Firefox for Android, but it doesn’t get much traction. On the iOS side, Firefox doesn’t have any interest under current conditions. That leaves Firefox developer Mozilla in a tight spot. Mobile browser usage is increasing, and all it can boast now is a fledging mobile OS.
It comes as little surprise, then, that Mozilla has had a mobile browser project in the works. What might surprise a bit is that they’ve teamed with Samsung to develop it. In a blog post today they describe the browser, Servo, which is built with the Rust programming language. Mozilla hits the major points in the second paragraph:
Servo is an attempt to rebuild the Web browser from the ground up on modern hardware, rethinking old assumptions along the way. This means addressing the causes of security vulnerabilities while designing a platform that can fully utilize the performance of tomorrow’s massively parallel hardware to enable new and richer experiences on the Web. To those ends, Servo is written in Rust, a new, safe systems language developed by Mozilla along with a growing community of enthusiasts.
The idea is certainly noble. Mobile has change the way we interact with the internet, and so current browsers might not best fit our needs. Selling a new browser can be tough, but it appears that Mozilla and Samsung have a novel idea.
Security appears to be the main focus of the browser. That’s certainly going to play well with consumers who are concerned about the recent rash of hackings. Mobile is a uniquely personal platform and people are rightly concerned about security vulnerabilities. Explicitly addressing them with a new solution could win Servo major points with consumers.
It will be a while before we see the fruits of this project. In most cases it would be easy to dismiss yet another mobile browser. But in the case of Servo there’s too much going in its favor to ignore.

You Will Soon Be Able To Use Your Old Sprint Devices On Boost Mobile Or Virgin Mobile
Some great news out of Sprint today as the carrier has just announced a new program called, “Bring Your Own Sprint Device” . This is how Sprint plans to reduce waste associated with unused or thrown away devices. Sprint is going to allow devices to be re-activated on a their approved MVNO’s (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) list, which basically means, the carriers who piggyback off Sprint’s network may allow Sprint devices. Some of the carriers that may be on this list include, most notably, Boost Mobile and Virgin. So far Sprint has only said that it will allow unused and deactivated devices to be brought on, but the specific requirements for this has not been announced. Most likely blacklisted devices, like devices that have been reported stolen, will not qualify. After this program goes into full effect this could turn out be a great opportunity for Virgin and Boost Mobile. This would allow them to offer service on premium Sprint devices, like the Note II, while keeping the non-contract, low monthly payment allure many find appealing.
This is something that I think all carriers should try to implement as it gives its subscribers the ability to get a great device and still be able to use it if they leave for a pre-paid plan on the carriers network. In my opinion, this really shows how much Sprint values its environmental side of the company and how hard it works to keep that side alive. I may end up trying this myself once the program takes full effect as I have one line that’s at the end of its contract, so I will let you know how well it works out. If you have Sprint what do you think about this program and will you take advantage of it?, let me know in the comments below.

[New App] Opera Browser Beta, With Ground-Up Redesign And Webkit Rendering Engine, Is Live In The Play Store
Get those fingers ready, Opera fans: the biggest thing to happen to your favorite mobile browser in years has arrived. Opera Software announced a new and retooled version of their browser in February, and demonstrated it during Mobile World Congress. The Opera browser beta (no Mini or Mobile here, it’s the “full” version a la Chrome) is live in the Play Store. It’s a free download for just about any Android device, so get to it.
The biggest draw in this new release is the WebKit rendering engine, the same one used by both Chrome and the AOSP Android browser.

The After Math: Cinder block-chucking robots, Barcelona’s mobile bonanza and brain doctors
Welcome to The After Math, where we attempt to summarize this week’s tech news through numbers, decimal places and percentages.
Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress may have formed the backbone for this week’s news but there was also notable news elsewhere — like the fact that Boston Dynamics’ upgraded quadruped robot can now throw cinder blocks. We’ll be sticking closer to the (safer) events in Spain, however, so take a look for yourself after the break.

Back to BlackBerry: international travels
Dropping a smartphone is an absolutely horrifying experience. And on my first day in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress, it happened to me with my BlackBerry Z10.
As much as I hate to admit, it was a dumb move on my part. Unfortunately, tragedy can strike with as simple an act as brushing one’s elbow across the table, and that’s all it took for me to knock my smartphone right onto a hard surface — facedown in a perfectly horizontal position. If you’ve ever been through such an accident, you know the few seconds it takes to pick up the phone and survey the damage can be incredibly nerve-wracking and one of the most suspenseful moments of your life.
I’m happy to say that this particular story has a positive ending, as I turned the phone over to see if I would need to call BlackBerry HQ in a panic. To my shock, it was completely fine. There wasn’t a single scratch or ding, and the touchscreen was just as responsive as ever. It would’ve been a different story had it fallen onto a concrete floor, but this still significantly increased my opinion of the Z10′s durability.
Had my Z10 come face to face with concrete, I would’ve been in a nasty predicament. Not only would I have had to pause or put the kibosh my 30-day trial run with the BlackBerry Z10, but I’m also on the other side of the world in a foreign country. While getting a new phone isn’t impossible, it’s expensive, time-consuming and frustrating. Yep, this was how my 10-day international adventure began, but how well has it gone for me since?

T-Mobile Q4 2012 revenue drops 5.2 percent to $4.9 billion, customers and income also fall
Is it a good thing that T-Mobile’s in the crosshairs of a MetroPCS merger? We’ll, see, but meanwhile the operator again shed revenue, customers and profit in Q4 2012. Total revenue dropped during the quarter to $4.9 billion from $5.2 billion last year, while income was down a whopping 25.1 percent to $1.05 billion year-over-year. Meanwhile the company lost 515,000 branded contract customers compared to 492,000 last quarter, representing a ‘churn’ rate of 2.5 percent in that category, a slight improvement over last year. All that culminated in a rather miserable year for the carrier, which earned $424 million less than in 2011 ($4.9 billion), while showing a total loss of $6.4 billion thanks to depreciation and impairment charges. Meanwhile, parent Deutsche Telecom said recently that MetroPCS would merge with T-Mobile as early as April — which sounds like it can’t come soon enough.

We’re liveblogging Nokia’s MWC event tomorrow at 2AM ET!
The last two events put on by Nokia at Mobile World Congress have been pretty solid affairs — the PureView 808 last year, preceded by the earth-shattering partnership with Microsoft the year before that — but we must admit, we’re not quite certain as to what we should expect this go-round. Will there be another mystery product that we weren’t expecting, such as a tablet or PureView Lumia of some kind? Hard to say, but what is certain is that we’ll be there covering it for you. And as an extra bonus, if you want to follow along with us, Nokia is planning to have a live video feed available here as well.

LG Optimus G shipping to Europe this month with Jelly Bean (video)
LG is about to kick its currently slow, worldwide Optimus G deployment into high gear. Right in time for Mobile World Congress, the company has confirmed that its late 2012 flagship is about to reach Europe. Sweden gets first crack at the Optimus G before February is over, while at least France, Germany and Italy are next in line. Every European version will ship with the Jelly Bean update LG promised for new launches back in late January. It adds more than just obvious Android 4.1 features like Google Now and rich notifications: there’s a wider variety of QSlide-friendly apps, better status bar controls and small perks like Privacy Keeper for calls and Safety Care live support. We’re still waiting for Jelly Bean to hit the US, but Europeans (and envious Americans) can see what they’ll get by watching the video after the break.

T-Mobile Announces New GoSmart Mobile Brand: Contract-Free, Low-Cost, "DUM" Slogan
Little T-Mobile already has a reputation for being the carrier for budget-conscious consumers, but it’s taking things even further with the new GoSmart service. The plans are cheap, and there are no annual contracts to worry about. Service starts at $30 per month and customers get access to the full T-Mobile network. It sounds like a solid deal if you can get past the contrived marketing lingo that would insult the intelligence of a third-grader.
Like other pre-paid brands, you can plug in a compatible phone that you already own, or buy one from GoSmart. There is a $49 Alcatel dumbphone, and a $99 ZTE device running an ancient version of Android.

T-Mobile Sonic 2.0 LTE hotspot reportedly poses for a press image
We’ve previously had just a smattering of text to hint that T-Mobile might kick off its formal LTE launch with a Sonic 2.0 Mobile Hotspot. Things just got more tangible this weekend through an apparent TmoNews leak. The really-truly-4G pocket router has surfaced in a supposed press render that’s fairly plain looking, but suggests a little sophistication through a color screen. We’re still missing the rather important details of the Sonic 2.0′s performance and price; if prior tips are on the mark, though, we’ll have our answers (and more devices) in about six weeks.

LG promo confirms 5.5-inch Optimus G Pro for Korea
If you were worried that you might have to wait until Mobile World Congress to learn whether or not a 5.5-inch version of the Optimus G Pro was real, your mind can rest at ease. While hoping to drum up buzz for a launch beyond Japan, the company has ever-so-casually mentioned that at least the South Korean edition of the G Pro has a 5.5-inch, full HD screen — half an inch larger than the Japanese model, and just as large as the panel on the Galaxy Note II. Want to know more? That’s part of the promo. Borrowing a page from Sony, LG promises to reveal more of the phone the more Facebook Likes it receives. While previous tips suggest that the 5.5-inch edition will mostly be a larger take on an already supersized device, it’s still very tempting to click that Like button — just don’t expect one of the mentioned prizes if you live beyond LG’s native borders.

LG teases ‘new series’ of mobile phones with ‘unexpected distinction,’ remains indistinct
Offering up its Facebook fans a loving wrapped teaser image, LG Mobile reckons it’s got something up its sleeve. On the social network entry, it notes that the new series will have an “unexpected distinction”, which is hopefully more than just a baffling screen ratio. Will it be ready for MWC in a few weeks? Or will the company go the way of other smartphone makers and just launch whatever it has at its very own event? Who knows? LG does, that’s who.

Lumia 710 for T-Mobile won’t be updated to Windows Phone 7.8
For reasons that aren’t quite clear, T-Mobile has just confirmed to TmoNews that the Nokia Lumia 710 won’t receive a bump to Windows Phone 7.8. While the update has taken its share of criticisms as a purely cosmetic revision, we’ve a feeling that more than a few folks were looking forward to the world of resizable live tiles — seems like a reasonable expectation, right? Fortunately, even in spite of T-Mobile’s mind-boggling decision, Lumia 710 owners can take the situation into their own hands and manually install the Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade. We’ll keep you posted if we learn anything more, but in the meantime, you can find the carrier’s painful doublespeak after the break.

Which T-Mobile smartphones will support LTE?
It’s no secret that T-Mobile is on the cusp of lighting up its first LTE network in Las Vegas, but with Kansas City soon to follow — and ambitions of extending LTE coverage to 100 million Americans by mid-year — it’s time to start factoring this consideration into your next smartphone purchase. While the carrier’s HSPA+ 42 network is certainly speedy, there’s no point in saddling yourself with a device that’s rooted in the past. Want to make sure you’re ready for what comes next?

Samsung now pushing out more updates to address Exynos security vulnerability
About two weeks ago, Samsung started rolling out a fix to help Galaxy S III owners in the UK with that previously acknowledged Exynos issue. Fast forward to today, and the Korean electronics giant is now delivering an over-the-air update to T-Mobile’s Galaxy Note II, which, according to the changelog, “improves security and provides bug fixes” to the famed handset. Meanwhile, Sprint, too, has pushed out a software update, though this one in particular being for the carrier’s Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G — and it brings security updates that should take care of any existing Exynos vulnerabilities, plus there’s also the inclusion of “Sprint Connections Optimizer.” Surely, we can expect similar patches for more devices in the days to come, as we’re all well aware that Samsung’s working hard on solving the problem.

PlayStation Mobile’s ‘New Year giveaway’ offering six free titles over six weeks
For those who haven’t yet found a reason to check out the three-month old PlayStation Mobile store, Sony’s got a rather compelling one for ya: freebies. Starting today, one game will be available gratis every seven days as part of a “New Year giveaway,” which will last six weeks in total. To obtain the complimentary titles, you’ll need either a Vita, or a device that’s been PS-Certified — an honor currently bestowed upon several Sony slates, a bunch of Xperia and Sharp handsets, and HTC’s One series Android phones. Samurai Beatdown is the first cross-platform game to lose its price tag, so if you’ve got rhythm, hack and slash your way over to the PlayStation Mobile store to get downloading.

Jumio Netswipe Mobile turns your smartphone camera into a credit card reader
Jumio has announced the release of Netswipe Mobile for Android. And for those not familiar with Jumio, they are bringing their credit card scanning solution to Android. Yes, the Netswipe Mobile solution was previously available for iOS. That aside though, this solution will be available for app developers and is designed to turn your “smartphone camera into a real-time, secure credit card reader.”
Put simply, with Netswipe Mobile you will be able to take a picture of your credit card to make a payment. Jumio notes that this will take away the need for customers to manually enter a credit card number during the checkout process. This could have a few potentially good points — first, it should make the checkout process a bit quicker and second, it should eliminate a failed checkout process due to typing an incorrect credit card number.
In terms of using the Netswipe Mobile solution, this will need to be integrated into Android apps. Jumio has said that existing Android apps would be able to integrate the Netswipe Mobile solution in as little as 30 minutes and that once integrated, it will work with Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, American Express and Discover cards. Other details note that the integration is available for free and the company has released an SDK along with additional documentation which can be found on their website at www.jumio.com.
For those thinking the Jumio name sounds new, or unfamiliar — remember, they are not looking towards the individual user, but instead offering a solution for those who are providing service towards the individual user. And just to offer a use case scenario, Jumio announced a partnership with Travelocity (for their Hotel Deals by lastminute.com app) back in October 2012.

Virgin Mobile UK becomes latest Euro carrier to offer Google’s Nexus 4
Some say that it’s “better late than never,” and, as of right now, this may very well be a good thing for Virgin Mobile UK users looking to snag one of those chart-topping Nexus 4s. A mere few months after the LG-made handset was first announced, Virgin Mobile is set to join other carriers across the pond in offering Google’s sleek flagship. What’s more, the Nexus 4 can be had at no cost upfront, so long as interested UKers choose from one of Virgin Mobile’s qualified 24-month tariffs. Meanwhile, those of us in the States without a Nexus 4 will have to keep on waiting, as Google Play (and T-Mobile) still appear to be having trouble keeping up with demand.

T-Mobile claims to be first US carrier with HD Voice calling nationwide
T-Mobile has an extra surprise in store: it’s rolling out HD Voice calling nationwide, and claims to be the first US carrier with the achievement. Those who have a smartphone capable of the feat, such as the HTC One S, Nokia Astound or Samsung Galaxy S III, can get both higher quality calls and fewer noticeable distractions in the background. Upgraded quality is available as of today, which should help us get some extra mileage out of that new unlimited plan.

T-Mobile confirms $70 contract-free plan with unlimited data, offers $200 Optimus L9 as a lure
It was increasingly probable T-Mobile would expand its truly unlimited data to no-contract plans, and it’s using CES to get a little more attention now that it’s official. Starting January 9th, Monthly4G fans can pay $70 a month to get throttling-free internet access as well as unfettered calling and voice. They just need to have bought a supporting device outright to qualify. T-Mobile knows that might not be enough for those used to subsidized device prices: to sweeten the pot, it’s cutting the off-contract price of an LG Optimus L9 to $200 for the foreseeable future. Although we’d naturally opt for slightly more powerful hardware, we could easily see more than a few converts when both the plan and the phone cost that much less than usual.
