You could get the Sony Xperia X Performance for $699.99 from Bell Mobility in Canada. Or you can get it for free, stuck on a two-year contract with an $80 monthly plan. And you can get $100 off that “price” of free with a trade-in.Those who are looking for a little less intensity in their Xperia experience can get an Xperia XA for $349.99 or free on a two-year term with a $35 a month ...

They say old habits die hard, and as much as Sony would like to transition to a whole new flagship Xperia look to help “maximize” European sales, it might take a while until the Z line will be completely forgotten by both its designers and customers.Case in point, the Xperia X and X Performance have replaced the glass backs of the Z5 and

A number of US mobile employees recently got the pink slip from Sony, as the company continues to bleed money on an unfocused, unsuccessful Xperia strategy, and in quite the ironic twist, one of the proposed solutions to its financial conundrums seems to be… pink phones.Not rose gold, mind you, but rather a “stunning” pink, “perfectly ...

It’s been a solid three weeks since the first “global” reports of Android 6.0 promotions on the Xperia Z5 family came in, and given there was no news of widespread issues during this time, we figured the software goodies had reached the majority of the three phones’ owners worldwide.Unfortunately, some big red flags are now raised on Sony’s support forum and other discussion portals, with user complaints on stability prompting the Japanese OEM to halt the update in at ...

In addition to working diligently and simultaneously on Android 6.0 updates for a bunch of new and old Xperia devices, Sony took its sweet time to start rolling out Marshmallows in order to make them feel special and personal.Thankfully, there doesn’t seem to be too much bloat tacked on stock M features like ...

Sony sure took its sweet time getting Android 6.0 goodies ready for the fall 2015-released Xperia Z5 smartphone trio, but apparently, that’s because the Japanese company’s software engineers were simultaneously working on updates for a few older devices also.Namely, the previous flagship handheld, the Xperia Z3+, unveiled in May 2015, and the latest jumbo-sized hero, ...

Just as Samsung and LG tend to release software updates for their Android-based devices in Korea first (and Poland, for some reason), then the rest of the world, Sony seems to have finally begun the Xperia Z5 trio’s Marshmallow makeover in Japan.Not just any carrier in the company’s homeland, since NTT DoCoMo comfortably leads in local subscriber numbers, hinting at this OS promotion less than a month back. Hopefully, the polished,
The post Sony Xperia Z5 family receives Android Marshmallow OTA in Japan appeared first on Pocketnow.
Unlike most other Android device manufacturers, Sony tends to work simultaneously on software updates for a host of phones, thus stalling the rollout’s start and refusing to give new flagships preferential treatment.The upside is made obvious in a recent tweet from the company’s British Xperia arm, as the Z5 “series”, Z4 Tablet and Z3+ might all receive over-the-air Marshmallow goodies beginning March 7. Granted, we still expect small gaps between deliveries of 6.0 enhancement packages for those products, as well as traditional distribution in so-called waves.But chances are

Someday, our favorite smartphones will be left behind by the tide of progress, no long tapped to receive the latest platform updates and doomed to live out the rest of their days on increasingly feature-poor, insecure software: it’s just the way of the world, as planned obsolescence pushes us towards newer and fancier hardware. But for the time being, there’s still plenty of life left in our favorite flagships, and Android users are experiencing a surge in availability of (admittedly overdue) Android 6.0 Marshmallow updates.

How much longer can Sony avoid the world’s second largest smartphone market with its 4K resolution pioneer? Even if US carriers were entirely to blame for Xperia Z5 Premium’s local scarcity (and they probably are), there’s no logical justification why the 5.5-inch beast isn’t available unlocked directly from the device maker yet.Rubbing salt into the wounds of ...

The Xperia Z5 Premium fingerprint scanner is a novelty; it’s there for Xperia Z5-class Sony smartphones, embedded in the side-mounted power key on the Xperia Z5 Compact, Z5, and Z5 Premium, but how does it really perform in real life?Having a side-mounted fingerprint scanner can we awkward, or it can be the perfect placement. We’ve heard both sides of the story, but, in the end, its placement isn’t as relevant and important as its performance. We’ve been extensively testing the Xperia Z5 Premium for more than a week now, and we can say that the fingerprint scanner is a hit or ...
