On (and off) Andy’s

phone this month…

Zero-click access to the best

apps in the Google Play store

two or three months every

major Android device

manufacturer will be refreshing its

range for the year ahead. First off the

block is Sony, whose Xperia Z builds

on the good progress the company

made last year and also sets an early

standard in specs that the other

players will have to match. Sony has been having a good

run lately, picking up market share mostly at the expense

of former leading lights like HTC and, in the non-Android

world, Nokia and BlackBerry. But chasing down Samsung

is a different matter altogether.

We’ve given the Xperia Z the full hands-on treatment

this month, and weighed up its prospects for challenging

the all-conquering Galaxy S III. That is the most popular

Android phone ever and even more than half a year after

its launch is still going strong, and we can expect the S IV

to show its face long before the summer is here. So can

Sony do it? The honest answer is, probably not. But it

could consolidate Sony’s position in second place, and at

a time when others are really feeling the squeeze that’s

not such a bad place to be.

Also this month we’ve rounded up some of the tech and

gadgets that are making Android so exciting right now. The

Android ecosystem is showing unprecedented levels of

innovation as the OS moves into new product categories

and the hardware powering it becomes more capable

than we could have imagined. Give it a year or ﬁ ve and all

your gadgets might be run by Android.
