***Xperia L1 free with a free SIM card and 200MB data for 6 months
****Deal valid from 09 March - while stocks last
Other Ts&Cs apply

Value & ROI Analysis-

XZ Premium you will pay R13656 to get free Xperia L1 which is trading at R2800 at online retailers. XZ Premium is still premium prices in the market at R12300 and here with MTN you are only paying R10856 along with data and voice SIM card from MTN.

 

XZ1 you will pay R 11256 to get free Xperia L1 worth R2800. The phone is worth R9800 in online stores so here you are getting the same at R8456 which is good value for money along with SIM card and data connections whose value I have not taken into consideration. 

You can decide which one to go for based on your priorities but the difference being R100 per month, you will get better picture quality, super slow-motion video and super awesome glass finish smartphone in XZ Premium. If I take Made for ME M plan into consideration that's R249 (Includes 150 Anytime Minutes, 100 SMSs, 1GB Data) per month making the device cost only R4880 for XZ Premium and R 2480 for XZ1. Think about it now!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Mar 2017 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

March is the end of the first quarter of every year and you always assess your resolutions whether it's going as planned or you need to realign to match your expectations. The faster you do it the better it will be for your finished goals. I thought of starting Youtube Channel but so far I have not been able to post myself on any of them but only shooting and posting them.

1. The Holistic Entrepreneur - A Book by Jodene Shaer @JodeneCoZA #TheHolisticEntrepreneur - http://www.thelifesway.com/2017/03/the-holistic-entrepreneur-book-by.html - It's almost a year now that this book is launched and I am still not able to find time to finish the same. It's in my top most priority of books but I think other than first two parts of Amish's Ramayan trilogy I have not read or completed any book so far since 2017-2018. Another book I am still reading is Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson. Here's validation of the point I was referring at the start of my post that March is the time to reassess your priorities. 

2. @SonyXperiaZA XZ Premium Officially Named “Best New Smartphone" #MWC2017 - http://www.thelifesway.com/2017/03/sonyxperiaza-xz-premium-officially.html - Sony Xperia XZ Premium is only in my hands nowadays for two weeks and I am testing the same only now. I am in love with the feel and design of the device but so far not that impressed with the camera as it's now replaced by some better smartphones in the market even from the house of Sony Mobiles too. But it's a capable smartphone and if you get it for cheaper prices, you shall grab it immediately. 

3. Book Review - The Jeera Packer by Prashant Yadav @FingerprintP #theJeeraPacker - http://www.thelifesway.com/2017/03/book-review-jeera-packer-by-prashant.html - During my trip, last year to India, the author of this book found me on twitter as I mentioned coming back for holidays and ensured that I get a copy of his book when I reach there at my home in Delhi NCR. I felt great and ensured that I read and review the same immediately. I loved his writing style and the plot of the story.

4. @KandasamysMovie Breaking Opening Weekend Records #ChatsworthStyle #KandasamysMovie - http://www.thelifesway.com/2017/03/kandasamysmovie-breaking-opening.html - This is one of the best pictures of South Africa and will register in my brains forever for the fun and laughter between 2 families whose son and daughter fall in love with each other. I met the star cast of the movie and even saw one of the premiers show with them and it was an amazing experience at Gold Reef City. Still some days back this movie was being played on DStv and my family loved watching the same.

5. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jan 2016 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - http://www.thelifesway.com/2017/03/a-memoir-this-month-last-year-jan-2016.html - A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Feb 2016 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - http://www.thelifesway.com/2017/03/a-memoir-this-month-last-year-feb-2016.html - This has been a series of posts which are mines and I think and write whatever I feel about them after a year or so. This really gives me roller coaster rides as I see some of the PR companies fooling me and some are worthy of my time and money. It really sets the perspective as to why and what I am getting in return for all those thousands of posts done so far? For all the time I have missed personal parties to attend boring events to only receive a pen-drive at the end. It's hectic and sometimes I have paid for my cold drink myself at those launch events because I don't drink alcohol. 

Life's is short guys and you shall live it fully without any limits within your values system. Do what you like, if brands want you, then they will find you else you are good without them too as they never asked you to promote them and neither you bought their stuff to get back any money or respect from them. You loved it -  You Bought It! and Secondly, why use sub-standard products which you will never use as you are already using the best of the bests so why fall in the trap of free stuff and goodies.

Hi Guys,

The GSMA has announced that Xperia XZ Premium is the “Best New Smartphone or Connected Mobile Device at MWC 2017” at the annual Global Mobile Awards (Glomo Awards).

The Glomo Award is the latest of 30 accolades (and counting) received while attending Mobile World Congress 2017 for Sony Mobile's innovation flagship, with media recognition including: GSM Arena's "Best New Mobile Handset", UK Blog Awards "Best Innovation", Tech Radar's "Reader's Choice" & "Best Smartphone" and Wired's "Coolest of MWC".

"Xperia XZ Premium is our most technologically capable smartphone ever" said Hiroki Totoki, President and CEO at Sony Mobile Communications. "We're honoured by this recognition - Xperia XZ Premium has received endorsement from operator partners, media, consumers and industry peers alike, which is testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation, to deliver great products and experiences for consumers."

“Our congratulations to all of the winners and nominees of the GSMA’s Glomo Awards at Mobile World Congress this week," said Michael O’Hara, Chief Marketing Officer, GSMA. "The Glomo Awards truly showcase those companies and individuals that are driving innovation in the rapidly evolving mobile industry. We thank all of our entrants, judges, sponsors and partners for supporting the 2017 Glomo Awards.”

Xperia XZ Premium features Sony’s new Motion Eye™ camera system to enable advanced features and excellence in picture quality, as well as the world’s first 4K HDR display in a smartphone (5.5”). Motion Eye is capable of 960fps Super slow motion video capture and playback, which is four times slower than any other smartphone.

Xperia XZ Premium rolls out globally from late Spring 2017 - available in Luminous Chrome and Deepsea Black.

@SonyXperiaZA Delivers Its #Innovation Promise #MWC2017 #SonyMWC

Hi Guys, 

 

Sony Mobile Communications re-affirmed its position as a leading communications innovator and visionary, by unveiling product experiences that break new ground in consumer technology.

"Xperia Touch is the most revolutionary interface" said Hiroki Totoki, President and CEO, at Sony Mobile Communications. “A year on from unveiling our new brand direction and vision for the future of communications, not only are we announcing Xperia XZ Premium, equipped with the most advanced technologies to enhance the essential features on smartphones, we’re creating whole new interactive communication experiences with our Xperia Smart Products.”

Acclaimed concept to commercial product: Xperia Touch, the interactive Android projector launches from Spring 2017
Xperia Touch is an interactive projector that turns any flat surface into a 23” HD touchscreen, with either horizontal or vertical ultrashort-throw projection. The interface is fast, fluid and responsive to physical touch - it’s built using Sony’s SXRD projection display technology, and touch is made possible through a combination of Infrared light and real-time detection via its built-in camera, at a rate of 60 frames-per-second.

Xperia Touch in action

Xperia Touch enables family and friends to gather around a table, kitchen island or flat wall to enjoy games, watch online video streaming services and communicate using messaging apps and social networks. The elegant home screen skin is engineered specifically for touch - designed to be both minimalistic and accessible in brightly lit or dark conditions. It provides real-time weather information, a memo board for doodles or video notes, calendar access and a Skype™ portal for video chat with colleagues or loved ones.

Not only is Xperia Touch compatible with PlayStation® 4 Remote Play1, it will run any app or game downloaded from the Google Play Store, setting a new precedent for the way hundreds of thousands of application experiences2 can now be enjoyed. And, the unique projection, touch capability and sensor architecture will provide developers with an entirely new platform on which to build and create. Xperia Touch availability and RRP is yet to be confirmed for South Africa.

Hands-free. Eyes-free. Ears-free: Xperia Ear “Open-style CONCEPT” is a next-generation Xperia Smart Product concept
Xperia Ear “Open-style CONCEPT” is based on 'open-ear' audio technology developed within Sony's Future Lab Program, an incubator that enables consumers to trial and shape prototypes from Sony’s R&D division.

It utilises Sony's acoustics research and leadership to deliver wireless 'open-ear' stereo headphones, so you can listen to music and receive notifications, whilst simultaneously hearing sounds from the world around you. Whether you’re listening to music during a workout or commute, it’s an unparalleled ambient experience.

Xperia Ear “Open-style CONCEPT” is built to completely reimagine everyday listening and communication - its two highly powerful spatial acoustic conductors and driver units work together to transmit sounds directly to the ear canal. And just as with Xperia Ear, Xperia Ear “Open-style CONCEPT” will be powered by Sony Agent Technology - a personal assistant that uses conversational voice interaction and head gestures to help you get things done, access information and communicate.

Sony Mobile will continue to develop new features to further increase the in-ear assistant capability. An example of this is ‘Anytime Talk’ - a new voice-chat service that will allow users to instantaneously start a group conversation in real-time without searching through contacts or needing to dial, with a simple single button press or head movement. The beta version will roll out for the first-generation Xperia Ear over the coming months.

Sony Mobile is also exploring the collaborative possibilities with Sony Agent Technology on Xperia Smart Products and the new cloud AI platform from LINE Corporation, the company behind the popular LINE messaging app, to develop and co-create a new integrated voice experience.

All-new Xperia smartphones; Flagship Xperia™ XZ Premium and super mid-range Xperia XA1 and XA1 Ultra
Sony Mobile also announced additions to its popular X-series enhancing both the premium and mid-range models - further ensuring that the range offers a variety of features to excite consumers and ensuring that Xperia is available at each key operator tariff point in markets around the world.

Hideyuki Furumi, EVP, Global Sales & Marketing, at Sony Mobile Communications said: “We’ve continued to evolve and transform our smartphone portfolio, with an unwavering focus on delivering the most advanced technology in elegantly designed products. Whether it’s a memory-stacked camera system capable of super slow motion capture or the world’s first 4K HDR smartphone display, we’re delivering experiences that connect with users in emotional and meaningful ways like never before.”

Xperia XZ Premium showcases Sony’s new Motion Eye™ camera system to enable advanced features and excellence in picture quality, as well as the world’s first 4K HDR display4 (5.5”). Motion Eye camera provides 960fps super slow motion video capture and playback, four times slower than any other smartphone5. Xperia XZ Premium availability and RRP in South Africa is yet to be confirmed.

Building on the success of the Xperia XA models launched last year, Xperia XA1 and the 6” large screen Xperia XA1 Ultra feature a beautiful borderless design with edge-to-edge screens. Both will surpass camera expectations with high-end rear camera specs including 23MP sensors and low-light capabilities, whilst XA1 Ultra has been designed specifically for selfie lovers with its superior 16MP front camera. Xperia XA1 and Xperia XA1 Ultra availability, colours and RRP in South Africa is yet to be confirmed.

World’s First Super #SlowMotion Video in @SonyXperiaZA XZ Premium #SonyMWC

Hi Guys, 

Sony Mobile Communications announced its most ground-breaking smartphone to date, Xperia XZ Premium, with a camera so advanced it captures motion that the human eye can’t see, a beautiful 4K HDR display, super-fast download speeds, a stunning loop design and even more intelligent features.

Encapsulating decades of Sony innovation, Xperia XZ Premium incorporates imaging know-how embedded on Sony ‘α’ and Cyber-shot™ cameras to create the new Motion Eye™ camera system, for capturing life in ways no other smartphone can. The first smartphone to feature a memory stacked Exmor™RS sensor usually only found on premium compact cameras, it provides 5 x faster image scanning and data transfer. This means you can create sensational videos from your everyday moments by recording in 960 frames per second, providing Super slow motion video playback that is four times slower than other smartphones giving you more detail than has ever been possible in the palm of your hand. Plus Predictive Capture stays one step ahead and automatically starts buffering images when it detects motion even before you press the button, so you can find a moment your eye may just have missed from a selection four shots taken a second before you clicked. 

On top of this, the new 19MP high resolution sensor has 19% larger pixels to capture more light and provides exceptional detail and sharp images even in low-light and backlit conditions. Additional improvements have been made inside Motion Eye™ to the Bionz™ for mobile processing engine meaning you’ll get sharper motion images without noise. Whilst clarity, detail and texture are improved to give exceptional image quality thanks to the redesigned G lens.

For the first time ever in a smartphone, Xperia XZ Premium features a 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range, 2160 x 3840) 5.5” display. A truly unique Sony experience, it uses Sony’s BRAVIA TV technology to give you an immersive 4K HDR viewing experience in the palm of your hand, removing the constraints of your sofa. Astonishing brightness, colour, clarity and contrast are realised to create levels of realism you almost feel part of the scene. The sharp, vivid quality of the display is enriched by Sony’s native technologies TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile, X-Reality for mobile and Dynamic Contrast Enhancer.

Xperia XZ Premium is powered by the cutting edge Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 835 platform, making it one of the very first smartphones capable of Gigabit Class LTE (up to 1Gbps). This is possible because of the integrated Snapdragon X16 LTE modem, which has the potential to transform how customers use their mobile devices by delivering fibre optic speeds on the go. The Snapdragon 835 platform also supports stunning graphics, superior performance and enhanced battery efficiency. File transfers are also super-charged thanks to the USB 3.1 connection which is 10 times quicker than USB 2.0 with a transfer speed of up to 5Gbps. And with the USB Type-C™ socket, plugging in is easy because the connector is always the right way up.

With so many advanced technologies working in harmony, it is only fitting that the Xperia XZ Premium has a harmonious design to match, making it beautiful on the inside and out. The exterior has an exquisite glass loop surface which when turned over reveals a luxurious mirrored effect on the back. Every aspect of the XZ Premium is unified, from its seamless flowing lines and intuitive finger-print sensor power button to the new live wallpaper which moves the elegant lops as you swipe, to the colours you see on screen which are matched to the beautiful colours of the exterior.

Rain is one less thing to think about when you’re out and about with the Xperia XZ Premium. It’s water resistant, dust-proof and reinforced with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 on the front and back of the handset, taking beauty and durability to new heights.

Taking intelligence to the next level Xperia XZ learns how you use your phone and adapts and makes recommendations to give you our most smartest and personal experience yet. The battery is maximised with Smart Stamina which uses the Xperia learning engine to accurately estimate how long your current battery will last based on your normal usage. It even warns you if it detects you’re going to run out of power later that day and prompts you to activate Stamina mode. Battery Care and Qnovo Adaptive Charging are also included to protect your battery and keep it healthy up to twice as long.

Xperia Tips and new Xperia Actions offer you handy advice about the features you’re using and even suggests map downloads based on your location, all aimed at making life that little bit easier.

The Sony experience is continued through to the audio and gaming capabilities. High Resolution Audio playback allows you to hear every nuance and detail in a track as if you’re right there with the artist. Sony’s native DSEE HX™ technology even up-scales streamed tracks or MP3s to near High-res quality and if you connect with wireless speakers or headphones, LDAC ensures you don’t lose a drop of sound quality by transferring three times more audio data than normal Bluetooth. Working with your PlayStation®4 console, you can play the latest cutting-edge games on your Xperia XZ Premium. Its advanced processing and fast memory access means gameplay is always smooth and responsive, plus the 4K screen and powerful stereo speakers make it feel like you’re actually in the game.

Availability, RRP and colours for the Xperia XZ Premium in South Africa is yet to be confirmed.
