Interestingly, Sony’s Xperia Z, ZTE’s Grand S and the Huawei Ascend D2 are all built around 5″, 1920 x 1080 pixel screens and feature 13MP cameras. All run Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and yet, despite the spec similarities, there are still differences – in the user experience as well as the processors used. We had the opportunity to use both phones, to see how they behave – find out what we thought.

Just Posted: Our review of the Sony Alpha SLT-A99. The A99 is Sony’s flagship SLT camera – featuring a 24MP full-frame sensor and dual AF system, along with the level of build and direct control you’d expect from a range-topping model. We’ve put the A99 through its paces in a variety of situations, including an investigation of how its AF depth control performs in challenging shooting conditions. We’ve also looked at the advantages the SLT system and articulated screen bring to a camera at this level, as well as looking at their downsides. Click here to find out what we concluded.
