While several Android device manufacturers have named or at least strongly suggested names of phones and tablets due for official 7.0 UI makeovers… eventually, there’s no update deadline as far as a single non-Nexus product is concerned. And we’re not expecting any for a few more weeks. Possibly, even a month or ...

With the PlayStation VR arriving in time to meet up with a couple of new PlayStation 4 variants, Sony would have done well and good to start planning 360° TV and movie content a long time ago. Alas, we’re hearing today that the Japanese company will likely be licensing content from other multimedia outfits at first.The PlayStation VR will be released on October 13, which gives the company less than a month to ...

Sony’s second 2016 stab at a flagship Android phone arguably looks better than the first on the outside, sports a slightly larger screen with slimmer bezels, switches to USB Type-C connectivity, and promises to improve the already remarkable camera capabilities of the Xperia X Performance.The icing on the Xperia XZ cake is a lower price point, ...

An end of the year refresh over the Xperia X Performance we just recently reviewed, Sony took the wraps off of the new Xperia XZ. A modest update, the Xperia base remains similar with a 5.2” 1080p LCD, front facing speakers, a Qualcomm 820 chipset with 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage for the single sim version of the phone.So what’s new?

Knowing Sony’s intentions to further “contract” an already frail US mobile business while “maximizing” European sales, it sure was surprising to see the Xperia XZ and Xperia X Compact dated for their American releases off the bat, but not on the old continent.In case you missed the timetable, the 720p ...

Sony’s “new crown jewel” has arrived surprisingly soon after the ambitiously named but overpriced and underwhelming Xperia X Performance, barely increasing the screen size by 0.2 inches, and thus signaling it’s not meant to complement the 5-incher as the Galaxy Note 7 does for the S7.It wants to replace it, and ideally make you forget all about it, launching on October 23 stateside at an as-yet unannounced price point. The missing piece of the Xperia XZ puzzle is clearly the most important one, with ...

Sony pulled some premature jocularity on its Czech site in touting a couple of new phones before their times.One of the phones is the Xperia XZ, a phone which may end up being the Xperia XR or the F8331 phone we’ve been tracking for a while. Can’t these branding folk let the Z ...
