Review Singkat Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual

 Sudah hampir 1 bulan bersama dengan smartphone android besutan Sony ini, sementara fungsinya adalah pelengkap saat iphone 6s Plus. Ada beberapa hal baru yang menarik perhatian, salah satunya camera dengan resolusi 23 MP, lebih besar dari camera mirrorless alpha 5000 saya😂. Hanya saja secara kualitas, hasil jepretannya menurut saya masih kalah dengan hasil 6s plus. Jadi untuk jepret-jepret saya masih tetap menjagokan si 6s plus. Kelebihan dari camera Xperia adalah angglenya yang besar.

Hal lain yang menarik perhatian yaitu resolusi layar 4K, yang menurut saya juga tidak terlalu berbeda dimata saya dengan resolusi 1080p di iphone 6s plus.

Untuk ketahanan baterai, dibandingkan dengan Xperia Z seri pertama, peningkatannya sangat memuaskan. Tentu saja hal ini karena kapasitas baterai yang besar, yaitu 3430mAh. Untuk pemakaian standar saya rata-rata dibutuhkan 1x charge dalam sehari.

Xperia Z5 Premium Dual ini juga dilengkapi sensor sidik jari, yang ada pada tombol power. Namun sayangnya sensor ini butuh 2 sampai 3 kali scan untuk mengenali sidik jari saya pada saat unlock lockscreen.

Dual Sim (sesuai namanya), RAM 3 Gb, Android Marshmallow (upgradeable), IP68 certified, merupakan hal-hal lain yang ditawarkan Sony pada seri ini.

Sejauh ini Xperia Z5 Premium Dual menjadi pelengkap yang sangat memuaskan, fungsi yang saya kejar di smarphone android ini yaitu: tubemate dan Torrent 😁.

Sekian review singkatnya.

Playing Clash Of Clans on Your Macbook

clash-of-clans

For those who play clash of clans, there will be time when your iPad, Android Tablet, or even your smartphone not available for you to use (when your wife or your child may dominate those gadget). This guide is the perfect solution for that condition when the only available gadget is your macbook. So let’s begin with the ingredients, these are the things you need to prepare:

  1. Macbook Pro, mine is 13inch Mid 2012 with ram upgraded to 8 GB.
  2. Download and instal Genymotion emulator,so far this is the best android emulator for OSX, you can get it from the official site (www.genymotion.com) by register and go to download section, i use the free version genymotion-2.2.0.
  3. Download and instal Virtual Box, you can get it from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Once you download and instal genymotion, run it and login with your user that you create for downloading the app from genymotion site.

Add new virtual device by clicking the + Icon, and i recommend you choose Sony Experia Z – 4.3 – API 18 – 1080×1920. After you chose, download will begin, wait until it finish.

When it finish, try to run the virtual device, boot and android text will appear, once ready android home screen will appear. This android virtual device don’t have access to playstore (yet :D).

We have to instal the google app (gapps) by flashing to the virtual device. This is the important part, before installing gapps, there is a file that we need to instal first, this most important file is ARM Translation, if you instal the gapps without this file, you’ll get error message “your device isn’t compatible with this version” when downloading the Clash of Clan from playstore.

To get the ARM Translation and the compatible Gapps, go to this XDA post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952
Download the Google Apps for Android 4.3 on the post above or try this direct link:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Arm Translation mirror link on my dropbox: https://db.tt/SiwqPxUS

So now you have these 2 files:
Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1.zip
gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

To instal arm translation and gapps,run your sony experia z image from genymotion, when the android finish booting, simply drag and drop the zip file to the virtual device window with this sequence:

  1. Arm Translation zip file.
  2. restart the virtual device (simply by closing genymotion window)
  3. run the virtual device again
  4. drag and drop the gapps zip file
  5. restart again

After all that installation, login with your go0gle account and there will be no problem downloading Clash of Clan from playstore, this is screenshot from my mac playing clash of clan with no issues.
