The Philippines’ average internet speed is still at 2.5Mbps, according to the Akamai State of the Internet report for Q3 2014 published early this month.
Compared to the Q2 2014 report, there was no movement with the country’s average internet speed, and was reported to be a 39% increase from the data collected the same period last year. This also puts us down at one of the slowest in the Asia-Pacific and two notches down to 105th in worldwide rankings compared to 103rd last quarter, where we now share the same average internet speed with Vietnam.
Our internet speed peaked at 21.3 Mbps, a 1.1% decrease from last quarter. Here’s how the country’s internet speed is compared to the past three quarter reports:
Akamai reports that the country had increased its broadband internet connections by 200 percent over the last year. We reportedly now have 0.2% of users with speeds above 15Mbps (-0.4% from last quarter), 0.7% of users on broadband connections with speeds above 10Mbps (+3.8%), and 8.8% now on speeds above 4Mbps (+6.9%).
As for other countries, South Korea still takes the top spot in the whole Asia-Pacific region and worldwide with an average speed of 25.3Mbps, followed by Hong Kong (#2 in Asia and Worldwide) and Japan (#3 in Asia and Worldwide) with 16.3Mbps and 15.0Mbps, respectively. Here are our average and peak speeds when compared and charted with the rest of the region:

In other reports, Akamai said that the country is not ready yet for 4K, as their data concludes that we, along with Malaysia and Vietnam, failed to qualify for inclusion as Akamai saw negative quarter-over-quarter changes of 4K readiness.
Overall, Akamai reports that the global average internet speed have decreased 2.8% to 4.5Mbps in the same period.

Xperia smartphones were a no-show during the CES 2015 but that doesn’t mean Sony is not cooking up something for their consumers. Reports show that a family of Xperia Z4 was already certified by the Japanese Communication Ministry.
The Sony Xperia Z4 will have three versions in Japan namely for NTT DoCoMo, KDDI, and SoftBank. Xperia phones usually have their own iteration on their homeland which varies by mobile operators.
All three variants were certified for Bluetooth, WLAN, and LTE connectivity, which will feature Vo-LTE technology for HD voice calls. The next flagship is said to have the same screen size (5.2″) of the Z3 and similar design language. A Z4 Compact (4.7″) and a Z4 Ultra (6.44″) is also expected to be released alongside the Xperia Z4.

The next Galaxy flagship is already in the works with its fingerprint scanner being rumored to be redesigned. Users may soon say goodbye to Samsung’s cumbersome hardware implementation.
The swipe-based fingerprint scanner of the current Galaxy and Note devices, including the Galaxy S5, Galaxy S5 Mini, Galaxy Alpha, Galaxy Tab S, Galaxy Note 4, and Galaxy Note Edge, will be changed to a touch-based sensor. It will be similar to the ones found on iPhone 5s/6/6 Plus, iPad Air 2/Mini 3, and Huawei Ascend Mate 7.
With that, users will only need to touch and hold their registered finger for a second. Software-wise, the next generation scanner will still use Samsung’s great features like: device unlock, web sign-in, Samsung account verification, and Pay with PayPal.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 is rumored to feature a 5.5″ QHD display, 3GB of RAM, and 20MP camera. Of course, Android 5.0 Lollipop will be on-board the smartphone.
