In another leak, @evleaks has posted two images of the Xperia X3. One image shows the back panel of the handset and the other shows the side view. This device appears to have roundish edges unlike its predecessor the Xperia Z2 which has somewhat flat edges. The back panel looks like it is made of glass and bears a camera with an LED flash. Sony logo is visible in the middle of the panel and the brand name Xperia can be seen at the bottom. The side view shows a camera button, power on/off button, a volume rocker and a flap probably covering the microSD card slot.

We have already seen some of the Xperia Z3 leaked images earlier. This Sony device is tipped to have a 5.15-inch 1080p FHD display powered by 2.4GHz Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 20.7MP primary camera and a 2.1MP front-facing camera.

Smartphones Can Be Charged With Humidity in the Atmosphere

New research has found out that electronic devices like Smartphones can be charged with the ‘humidity’ in the atmosphere.

According to MIT scientists, water droplets clash with a highly repelling surface and produce electric charge. This reaction can be used to create electricity which can then be harnessed to charge electronic devices. The electricity produced during this process is in small amount that, if utilized properly, would be enough to charge an electronic device.

The research was done by Nenad Miljkovic, Evelyn Wang and colleagues from MIT, published in the ‘journal Applied Physics Letters’, can enable the creation of devices that can use the humidity in the air to charge Smartphones and many other electronic devices. Clean water could also be obtained through this system.

The device could be created with only some flat metal plates placed over one another. The research team used copper plates in their initial experiments but the device could be created with any metal with conductive properties like aluminuim.

The initial tests produced only very small amount of electricity i.e. 15 picowatts per square centimeter of metal plate but researchers are sure that the process could be evolved into producing at least 1 microwatt per square centimeter.

This output would be equal to the amount electricity other systems produce from vibrations, waste heat and other forms of energy which is then used to power electronic devices in some places.

While this system can prove to be an easy and cost effective method for powering electronic devices; however, it will need a humid atmosphere to work.
