Sony is going to announce the Xperia XZ4 (or whatever it will end up being called) at MWC next Monday. As such, it's not really very surprising to see its predecessor, the XZ3 launched in the second half of last year, getting a price cut. And...

While some makers have taken to posting details about their upcoming phones, Sony is still playing coy. Its latest tweet asks you to “embrace a new perspective” with the new Xperia phones that will be unveiled at MWC event next Monday. That’s...

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Sony leaks in the past month or so as the MWC approaches. The latest Sony leak is a full set of renders depicting Sony’s newest entry-level smartphones: the Xperia L3. The renders look just like the first renders...

Sony’s new mid-rangers have been frequenting the rumor mill recently, but it is only now that we find out what sets the two siblings apart – screen size, obviously, but also chipsets and price. The Sony Xperia XA3 – actually, the Xperia 10 – will...

Close, but no cigar – this isn’t the Sony Xperia XZ4. How can we tell? Well, for one the phone is longer than the box (as leakster @Zackbucks points out). And even if this is just due to perspective (which we doubt), the front of the box is kept...

Sony may refresh the name of its Xperia phones. Rumor has it that the Xperia XA3 and Plus will actually be called the “Xperia 10” and “Xperia 10 Plus”. There’s more to it than that, the “X” name could go away completely. The Xperia XZ4 may launch...

The Sony Xperia XA3 will go “CinemaWide”, just like the XZ4 flagship, but the renders so far haven’t made a clear distinction between the vanilla, Plus and/or Ultra models. Rumors have described two models so far – one with a 5.9” screen (vanilla)...

A few days ago we reported on a few blurry renders of what seems to be Sony's Xperia XA3 being handled in the wild. Today, we can show you the blurry source to those blurry renders - a quick (and a bit hectic) hands-on video of the device in the...

The Sony Xperia XA3 may not be what we thought it wouldbe – new product images have surfaced that show a 21:9 screen on the front, the same aspect ratio as the XZ4 flagship. Leakster @rquandt has been dropping hints that the CAD-based renders...

Sony model names follow a simple scheme – the letter indicates the year. For example, “H” was used for 2018 phones (XZ2, XZ3, XA2, L2), “G” for 2017 models (XA1, XZ1, etc.) and so on. So, what do you make of this? The User Agent profiles for...

A report from LetsGoDigital sees a filing made by Sony Mobile with the EU Intellectual Property Office. Sony trademarks the name “CinemaWide” and is classified as ‘Class 9’ which is a general class that covers tablets, smartphones, displays, apps...

Back in 2015 Sony acquired Belgium’s Softkinetic, which produced 3D Time of Flight cameras called DepthSense. Yesterday, Sony posted an image titled “Life with DepthSense”, which shows different possible applications for phones with 3D ToF...

Yesterday, we heard about some specs for the Sony Xperia XZ4 leak ahead of an official announcement. Just a few hours later, a wonky report surfaced claiming that the Xperia XZ4 will have a 52MP sensor, the highest of any smartphone right now. The...

A list of specs of the yet unannounced Sony Xperia XZ4 has surfaced, detailing some of the most important parts of the upcoming flagship. The key novelties are the screen - a 6.5-inch 21:9 3360x1440px OLED, the 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage...

A new image of the Sony Xperia XZ4 has hit the web – or rather an image of its homescreen. It stretches to a rare 21:9 aspect ratio and clearly adopts Android 9 Pie gestures navigation. But what’s with the line on the right? That could be Sony’s...

How do you imagine phones in three years? Foldable? Bezel-less? With invisible cameras? Powered by new long-lasting batteries? I could get behind a few of those ideas, sure. But bezel-less - that can't be the way forward. While I agree that the...

The Sony Xperia XA3 and XA3 Ultra have been in a holding pattern for a while. One of the few remaining hold-ups was a certificate from the Bluetooth SIG and they have that now. The XA3 was benchmarked with Snapdragon 660 and 6GB of RAM. It...

Sony has launched the a6400, the newest model in its range of APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system. The new model sits below the flagship model in the series, the a6500, and above the older a6300 model. The a6400 boasts of...

Sony Mobile is coming to the MWC, its event is scheduled for February 25 (at 8:30 CET). The company was a no-show at CES, despite rumors claiming that the Xperia XA3 family will be unveiled there (the Sony mothership did unveil TVs, speakers and...
