If you’ve been waiting with bated breath for Sony to bring at least one of the super-attractive three new Xperia Z5s stateside, you can keep waiting, buy from unauthorized third-party retailers sans a valid warranty, or settle for the old-at-heart Xperia Z3+.This “bad ...

Way to kick Sony while its so, so down. Or, way to give it to the man? Apparently, even when Sony Pictures is pitching up a tent, all James Bond wants to do is set the paraffin alight and become an Agent Under Fire. Sorry.Apparently, star Daniel Craig and director Sam Mendes had drawn a creative line-in-the-sand when it came to which smartphone Mr. Bond would grip upon in Spectre. This we know from more emails ...

Sony’s recent smartphone flagship releases have been the story of one phone with many names. Japan got the Xperia Z4, only for Sony to bizarrely rename the handset the Xperia Z3+ for broader international distribution. But despite the new, confusing name, this was still very much the Z4 from head to toe. As if this story wasn’t already odd enough, now there’s one more new entry that not only picks up yet ...

Sony’s Xperia Z4 has only just started hitting stores in Japan, and while it may be a very cool-looking smartphone, it sure doesn’t sound like a cool-running handset; early reports have pegged the Z4 as falling into the old Snapdragon 810-overheating trap, with operating temperatures pushing 150F and retailers posting warning signs about going easy on the phone lest it run too hot. Of course, the Z4 isn’t the only new Sony smartphone these days, and we’re also prepping for the ...

Oh Snapdragon 810, will you ever catch a break? While on paper the SoC looks like an obvious choice for bringing flagship-level performance to a new smartphone, the chip’s arrival on the market has been maligned by recurrent reports of excessive operating temperatures. It seems like every few months new voices arrive to warn of the 810’s thermal woes, only for others to step up and insist this really isn’t a problem, and that any previous overheating issues have been addressed in the chips landing in currently available phones. Well, today

We’ve been hearing rumors that the Sony Xperia Z4 might be missing from MWC, rumors which, if true, will testify to the fact that Sony will be breaking the highly criticised business model of releasing a flagship device every six months. The 2014 MWC brought us the Xperia Z2, followed up by the Xperia Z3 at the 2014 IFA in Berlin. Other rumors, including this report we’re looking at today, claim that there will indeed be an Xperia Z4 in Barcelona, and, specifically, at the March 2 special ...

In recent years, Sony has had little trouble producing some of the most stellar smartphones we’ve ever seen, but it has constantly struggled to make the kind of profits it needs off of them. Despite attempts to reshuffle to shift the smartphone group’s fortunes, it continues to not be such a great for Sony, with upper management now looking to remedy the losses with a rather ...

Last year, at MWC 2014, Sony introduced the Xperia Z2. After seeing the Xperia Z3 launch at IFA in late summer, our eyes were once again on the first quarter of the year in the hopes of Sony launching the latest member of this family. CES came and went with no Xperia Z4 in sight, leaving us to assume that we’d be witnessing it appear at MWC in early March. And while that would make enough sense, a new report claims that Sony’s got something a bit different in mind, and that it will still be several months before ...

Who’s delivering new flagships at MWC? Samsung could be in, but LG sounds like it might be out. What about Sony? The company was rumored to be prepping its Xperia Z4 for CES earlier this month, but after the phone was a no-show, MWC became our next likely contender. And indeed, Sony seems to be making progress towards getting the Z4 ready for release in the coming weeks: just a few days ago we saw
