Apple Inc. and Nokia Corp. filed a very serious competing lawsuits over patents and intellectual belonging used in most iPhones and some of Apple products as well.

Nokia sues Apple over Patents license

The lawsuits were filed early Tuesday in the USA and Germany, this issue marks the second intellectual war between Apple and Nokia since 2009. Apple also had an agreement with Nokia in 2011 to pay for the royal license for the use of some Nokia properties in iPhones. The suit Apple filed on Tuesday in the District Court for the Northern of California (USA), the Cupertino, the California-based firm said that Nokia did not include some of the patents from the agreement they signed.

They wanted to transfer them to the third party enterprises “to be used for extorting excessive royalties” from Apple. It asked the court to award damages and rule that Nokia breached its contract. According to what was said by Nokia in its report, the legal misunderstanding regards a number of 32 phones on the user interface, software, displays, chipsets and video calling software. Nokia decided to report the suits in the court in 3 German cities (Düsseldorf, Mannheim, and Munich), as well as the court in the US state of Texas.

Nokia officially argued that it was going against Apple for its patents, after jus Apple sued Acacia Research Corp and Conversant Intellectual Property Management Inc, who deal in license disputes. Apple sued them as its believe that they both colluded with Nokia to acquire funds from Apple. Nokia says that it’s not going to be played as it is preparing to make a famous comeback. It also was the world largest cell phone maker since 1998 until early 2011, then it failed to innovate.

Who gonna be the winner of this patents issue?

We believe that this might be a provocation between the two companies, because Nokia decided to sue Apple just after if accused its partners of taking funds from Apple.  If you think that this property patents war will go far between the 2 enterprises, do tell us your opinion.

Sony this year has released their new flagship, called the Xperia XZ. It is a phone worth waiting for, and has many great specs. However, there are bad sides to the phone too. Let’s take a look at what is good and bad about Sony Xperia XZ!

Sony Xperia XZ: What’s good and bad about it?

First of all, let’s have a general look about Sony Xperia XZ specs. This phone houses a Snapdragon 820 chipset at its heart, with Quad-core (2×2.15 GHz Kryo & 2×1.6 GHz Kryo) CPU and Adreno 530 GPU. Accompanying that is 3GB of RAM. There are two storage option, 32 and 64GB, both are extendable by up to 256GB via microSD card. It is powered by a 2,900mAh battery. The operating system is Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and is upgradable to Android 7 Nougat. This phone has really great specs from the first look already.

Now, what this phone does well, it truly excels. It has a 5.2″ Full HD display screen, with advanced technology such as Triluminous and and X-Reality engine. Those will ensure you have the best experience using the screen. The camera is also great: there is a 23MP rear camera with Exmor RS IMX300 sensor and Triple Image Sensing technology. You will capture the best pictures with this. The secondary camera is also 13MP! Furthermore, this phone has IP65 and IP68 for water resistant, which is great for any phones (it is kind of standard for flagships now too). The clean and well-designed software also helps a lot with easy navigation.

There are also aspects where Sony Xperia XZ comes short too. First of all, even though the phone looks premium, and holding it feels really good, the back panel can be a bit smudgy. Also, the phone also has huge bezels. This is considered a minus, since flagships now are trying to reduce the bezel areas, and going for an all-screen look. Next, the display is great, but Full HD resolution is slightly low for a flagship in 2016. Finally, the price of the phone is on the expensive side also, which makes other options more appealing.

Sony Xperia XZ: Overall a good phone

Despite all its shortcomings, Sony Xperia XZ is still a very good phone to have. Currently, Sony Xperia XZ price is Rs. 51,990. If you can manage it, we recommend this phone for you!
