Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual review: The inexpensive Ultra

By -

Phablets, which tried to bridge the gap between a smartphone and tablet, were as expensive as flagship devices once upon a time. Slowly and steadily, at least in India, phablets piqued the interest of buyers and created inroads into the market. This rise prompted manufacturers to shed some features and make their products more budget friendly. Many companies latched on to this opportunity early on, but Sony has joined this bandwagon only recently. Sony's top-end phablet, the Xperia Z Ultra, now has a cheaper alternative in the form of the Xperia T2 Ultra. It is smaller, sleeker, accepts two SIMs, and has stripped down features.

Online advertising is considered to be a step above the old media solutions because everything can be measured and understood. Instead of looking at circulation figures and wondering if any of those readers even opened the page with your ad, a website gives you detailed metrics abouo the people who visit each page, how much time they spend on it, and if they click the ad, you know about it. That's the promise of onlinie advertising at least, but according to a recent report by the Wall Street Journal, 36% - more than one-third - of all Web traffic is considered fake. The advertisers end up paying more than they should have to, because of these fake views. In fact, thanks to the automation of advertising and payment systems such as Google AdWords, for example, there has been a wave of so-called content farms, which scrape content from around the Web and put together low quality websites with little investment in quality, because if their keywords can attract enou...
