Sony Xperia XA1, the new representative in the mid-segment, is drawing attention with its budget-friendly price while maintaining its iconic design line. With Sony moving to the X series, leaving behind the Z series, the same product appeared in the lower, smaller series. The Xperia XA1, one of the original ones, comes with an assertive camera and familiar design like every Xperia.

As always, start with the first design on the Sony Xperia XA1. Sony does not leave much to say, unfortunately, when it comes to design. The iconic classic Xperia design changes little with the X series, and Sony is not surprised by its similar line in the XA1. The rectangular device, which comes with much sharper lines than the devices with rounded corners, has a linear design. We can call it a flat XA1 phone with the exception of a very slight rounding to eliminate sharpness on the edges. When we looked at the front panel, the device, which was frameless from two sides, did not choose this view on the top and bottom edges. There is a huge frame of finger thickness both above and below the device’s screen. When there is no frame on the side, the upper and lower limitations on this absurd thickness are more visible.

The screen size of the Xperia XA1 is 5 inches, but the length of the device is 5.7 inches, with a frame with a finger on the top and bottom. So although the screen is small, it is not very comfortable to use with one hand. However, since the body of the device is not completely glass, it does not slip. The cradle of XA1, which comes with a matt body, looks very elegant. At the same time, the device we examined the black model offers different color alternatives, white, gold and pink. The only criticism we have to make about the back of the device is that it is a bit sensitive to scratches. It is not very crowded, but if you are carrying the phone in the bag, be ready for the vague scratches. It’s not a thin thing for the body of the device, but it sure does.

We told you that the Xperia XA1 came with a 5-inch screen. The device offers HD resolution to users on the screen. Obviously, we would prefer Full HD at this point. The brightness of the screen is also slightly below expectations. If the device is not framed from the sides, it has a more positive effect during use. When we look at the specifications of the device after the average screen performance, the 64-bit eight-core processor is positioned on the antithesis of 16nm architecture. The MediaTek Helio P20 processor is accompanied by 3 GB of RAM. It is possible to increase the memory of the Xperia XA1, which comes with 32 GB internal memory, to 256 GB with a microSD card.

As a sensor maker, it is quite natural that Sony is ambitious about the cameras it displays on mobile devices. But how does a device that is very ambitious on paper perform in practice? Let’s look at the technical details first. The rear camera offers 23 megapixels in 4: 3 format. The rear camera features the Exmor RS mobile image sensor. For those who do not want to miss a moment, there are two different shortcuts to open the camera. You can open the camera by holding down the shutter button while the screen is closed, or you can quickly access the camera by double-clicking the on / off button on the same conditions. The rear camera with hybrid autofocus is fast focusing.

Here is Sony MDR-1000X. The headphones we tested come with a black body, but the market also has champagne color on your ear. Synthetic leather materials used at the body and headphone cushions provide both a comfortable music experience and a luxurious look. Let’s say that the synthetic leather material is made of stainless steel band and the headphone which is accompanied by plastic materials does not cause any problems for long hours listening.

When it comes to noise cancellation technology, most technology enthusiasts come to Bose’s QuietComfort 25 and QuietComfort 35 headphones. Sony has responded with Bose’a new headset MDR-1000X, which has been keeping the leader seat on noise suppression technology for years. Although there are a lot of headphones with noise suppression technology in the market, very few perform well. Sony’s new headset is one of these headphones on the MDR-1000X. The MDR-1000X, the most successful headset on the market, could compete with Bose’s headphones for noise suppression.

High-precision drivers filter unwanted noise effectively, while the dual noise sensor detects and balances the ambient sound using internal and external microphones. Sense Engine technology is another important aspect of the headset. With this technology, it is possible to turn the music on or off with one touch. To do this, just move your finger up-down or right-left on the touchpad on the right side of the earpiece.

The quick attention feature makes it possible to talk without leaving your headset when you want to speak on the phone. When you bring your hand to the right side of the ear, the level of the musical voice is instantly reduced. The headset features two different ambient sound modes. While in human voice mode, you can listen to music without distracting and you can catch important announcements. In normal mode, it is possible to hear basic daily sounds such as traffic sound while listening to music on the background.

The sound quality of the Sony MDR-X1000 makes the difference with the noise-canceling feature. The headset, which also carries the sound quality that it demonstrates in noise suppression technology, succeeded in not fascinating us in sound performance. It is worth mentioning that the headphone, which offers detailed and high-quality sound in all types of music, will meet the expectations of both the bass and voice enthusiasts. It is worth noting that the MDR-X1000 performs very well and performs well when Bluetooth is active, except for wired use. In the end, the Sony MDR-X1000 is the best wireless headset we have tried recently. The Sony MDR-X1000 is a quirky headset with its sonic performance, highly successful noise canceling technology and comfortable design.

The tablet, which won designation, portability, performance, and accessory support, gave us the first signal about future computers. Apple has updated this successful tablet after a one-year hiatus and has come up with a much more ambitious model.

Continuing the design philosophy that began with iPad Air 2, the new iPad Pro has a design similar to the 9.7-inch model at first glance. The screen frame is 40 percent thinner compared to the previous model, giving the tablet a much better experience. When you take the new iPad Pro by hand with the refinement of the frames, the tablet gives you the impression that you are holding a piece of paper. As with Apple’s previous tablets, the new iPad Pro is still quite attractive with its aluminum-made frame. The main physical display key is located on the front of the tablet as it is in the 9.7-inch model, offering silver, gold, space grey and rose gold colors.

Let’s just say that the new home screen key, which is responsive and responsive to iPhone 7’s responsive touch-sensitive feedback, is not included in the 10.5-inch model. When looking at the back of the tabletop, the camera protrudes, and on the left side, the Smart Connector connection bumps. On the right side of the iPad Pro are the volume keys, at the top is a headset entry, and at the bottom is the Lightning connection. Wi-Fi model 469 grams The LTE model weighs 477 grams and the tablet thickness is only 6.1 mm. In the LTE model we tested, we use an aluminum-made LTE module that matches the other surfaces of the Tablet instead of plastic, as it was in the previous model.

With every new iPad model pushing the performance curve to the top, Apple is also moving its performance to the new tablet. Apple’s choice of four 64-bit A9X processors at 2,16 GHz in the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is using a six-core 2.38 GHz A10X Fusion processor in its new tablet. As in the previous model, the performance of the new iPad Pro is also brilliant. It is not possible to be impressed by the speed of the tablets that perform exceptionally well in performance-intensive games and compelling applications like 3D.

Yen The most important innovation that distinguishes the iPad Pro from its predecessor is the 10.5-inch iPad Pro. The tablet, which is about 20 percent larger than the 9.7-inch screen size, offers more room for more processing. The Yen is one of the iPad Pro’s all-in-one replacement speeds of 120 Hz. When compared to the previous model, the new iPad Pro’s screen looks incredibly smooth. The fluency in both games, both video and internet pages is obvious.

The 10.5-inch iPad Pro has another feature that allows it to separate from its predecessor. Using 9.7-inch iPad Pro cameras on the iPhone 6s, Apple is using the camera of the new model with the iPhone 7’s camera. Like the previous model, the camera output comes with a 12 megapixel F / 1.8 diaphragm on the back of the tablet, and a 7-megapixel camera with an F / 2.2 diaphragm on the front. Tablet cameras, compared to the 9.7-inch model, allow for more detailed shots. Let’s just say that the rear camera, which is especially successful in low light conditions, also supports the double-tone LED flash. Thanks to the Retina Flash on the front camera, more bright selfie shots can be made on the tablet. The tablet, which also supports the Live Photos feature, makes it possible to capture the moment in front of a captured photo in a moving and audible manner.
