[ Review ] Roxfit Protective Shell Case for Xperia S LT26i, SL

For all those proud owners of Sony’s once flagship device Xperia S and Xperia SL, today we have got one Roxfit Protective Shell Case for your phone as hands on review…Originally Sony gave a leather pouch with both these phone that’s doesn’t protect your phone from shock, so here is one interesting Sony Xperia Accessory.

Roxfit Protective Shell Case for Xperia S, SL

Roxfit Protective Shell Case for Xperia S, SL

Well designed

Roxfit Protective Shell Case SMA6118B is made from very tough plastic polymer, covering the full phone perfectly. Roxfit Protective Shell Case has perfect openings at the desired location. At back side, illumination bar is not covered up by the case that is one of the great feature of Roxfit Protective Shell Case. Covering of case is washable, we wiped the case with the LCD cleaner and nothing happened.

Weight of Case

Weight of Roxfit Protective Shell Case is an issue for us, though originally Xperia S and Xperia SL weighs around 144 gram and from our point of view case added a bit of weight to the device but that’s necessary. The extra weight added to the phone is normal as we saw with other cases also. As hard is case more the weight is added, from our point of view, it is a perfect case to protect your device day-to-day wear.

Case Functionality 

The main concern before buying any case is the phone’s functionality inside the case. Phone functions flawlessly, all ports, volume buttons and camera opening are easily accessible.

Pros

  • Perfect hard build.
  • Rough and Tough for daily wear.
  • decently priced.

Cons

  • Power button is not fully accessible, needs more pressure to press.
  • A bit weight is added to device ( can be avoidable ).

Thanks to Mobile Fun for providing us the Roxfit Protective Shell Case. Check out more Sony Xperia Accessories. Recommended.

We tested this case on our Xperia SL and it do protected it many times. If you want to protect your device’s corner from daily wear then  Roxfit Protective Shell Case is perfect for your Xperia S and SL…

How to Flash Xperia S, SL Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.211 World-India ftf file

Sony released Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.211 firmware officially for Xperia S LT26i, Xperia SL LT26ii and Xperia Acro S LT26w on 11 June, 10 days later when the first build of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.200 launched for above three handsets. As told by sources, Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.211 firmware didn’t land world-wide.

[ Update ] – 26 August

For Indian Users :- Xperia S Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.211 firmware was reported by many users in India, but Xperia SL LT26ii users still haven’t got the official notification via PC Companion or SUS. We have been receiving mails since it’s launch and we have not seen a single Xperia SL LT26ii user in India who has got the notification.  Now we have brought a solution for Xperia SL LT26ii Indian users 🙂

Note :- Type *#*#7378423#*#* and then go to “Service Info” > “Software Info” and check file system version. For India users it must be like “WORLD_6.2.B.0.211In India normally Brand – World firmware is updated. If it is then you can update by following our manual flashing guide.

Following more leaks prior to the launch of beast Xperia Z Ultra as Xperia ZU codenamed as Xperia Togari.

Xperia ZU Togari Notification Panel Screenshots Leaked

The screen size looks gigantically large 😛 It seems impossible to operate Xperia Togari from one hand. Person who posted on XDA claims that Xperia ZU is still not the final name of the phone. The black theme new Xperia wallpaper put on the Xperia ZU Togari homescreen looks a bit different from what came in the recent Xperia 2013 lineup.

Certainly It will feature Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and many new Xperia tweaks. A new Xperia Home launcher can be seen, notice the “menu” button, in the android 4.1.2 jelly bean, Xperia provided it as square consisting of 12 small white squares and in this new android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean home launcher it appeared as 9 small dots comprising a square. Icon of “Playstation” mobile seems a bit different also.

Soon we will see the official listing of this beast Xperia ZU Togari hopefully.

Snapdragon 800 Xperia phablet ZU Benchmark scores 32173 AnTuTu points

From press invites of Sony Mobile Communication events in Germany and France to the leaked pics, new Sony Xperia phablet ZU has seen a number of leaks till yet. It is rumored to be announced on June 25 at a press event at Germany. Well just now something more related to this Sony Xperia phablet ZU has been leaked i.e. the AnTuTu Benchmark scores.

Xperia phbalet ZU Benchmark scores leaked- 32173 AnTuTu points

Xperia phbalet ZU Benchmark scores leaked- 32173 AnTuTu points

As you can see in the above pic, the device is codenamed as “ymmh5y0n5zeaouu” which is seen in the AnTuTu benchmark registers. Results shows that this mysterious device runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean tested in UK scoring a whopping 32173 points and running a 2.2 GHz processor.

It makes this device the first one to cross the 32000 points on AnTuTu benchmarks. Rumors are there that this mysterious device can be Xperia phbalet ZU codenamed as Xperia Togari or Xperia Z Ultra running Snapdragon 800 MSM 8974 powered chipset. A few days back we saw rumored Galaxy S4 Snapdragon 800 device scoring 31491 running on Exynos 5 Octa. Well if rumors are true then Xperia ZU benchmarks results have beaten up rumored Galaxy S4 Snapdragon 800 device 😛

Well if it is to be believed than surely Xperia phablet ZU will be the fastest android device ever made. Fingers crossed, June 25 is not so very far and if it is true, a new Xperia device will join the happy family of Xperia smartphones.

What do you think regarding this leaked benchmark results…

It surely depicts the launch of new Xperia product. No name has been mentioned but by looking at the pic it is speculated as Xperia Z Ultra or Xperia ZU Togari. This will be the first product in the phablet range from Sony which will be put against Samsung Note 3. Till now it’s just a rumor only. A few days ago we saw a press invite of Sony in the Germany which will be held on 25 June and Xperia Z Ultra pic leaked with cat on top with some specifications.

By looking at the photo leaked above, it is seen that the device or Xperia Z Ultra is definitely a phablet, with power button at side, earphone jack, volume up and down buttons just similar to Xperia Z. Camera dedicated button is also there at the bottom side. It looks very thin from side, we posted it’s dimension as 179.2 x 92 x 6.5mm. An uncertainty is there on the water and dust resistant capability of this phablet as you noticed that earphone jack is not covered up, it’s open. Well let’s see what it comes with as soon it is going to be unveiled.

25 June or 4 July is not very far, soon we will see the launch of Sony’s first phablet. Are you excited about it ? Yes we are…do let us know your views regarding this phablet.
