Yes, Sony actually seems to think that image you’re seeing above looks better after running through an “AI Camera Assistant.” In promoting its new Xperia 1 VIII, Sony is rightfully seeing backlash around the output of these new AI changes – and I can’t help but think about how this is just the worst possible form of the problem facing so many modern smartphone cameras.
Sony’s latest flagship is here, with the new Xperia 1 VIII offering some powerful specs for the usual lofty price tag, this time with a major hardware redesign.
One of the most beloved names in the TV business is throwing in the towel, as Sony’s new partnership with TCL has the latter officially taking over a 51% majority stake in this new venture.
Sony officially released its flagship WF-1000XM6 earbuds with what appears to be a plethora of thoughtful touches, including 32-bit audio processing reserved for high-end earbuds.
Blink, and you might miss it; Sony posted a very short, very dark teaser showing off what looks like the WF-1000XM6 earbuds. The teaser confirms the company will announce the earbuds next week.
Sony broke ground with the WF-1000XM4 earbuds when they launched just under six years ago. Two generations later, and Sony is trying to hop back on that wave with the WF-1000XM6 earbuds, which recently leaked in heavy detail.
Sony has pushed an update to its latest flagship headphones, the WH-1000XM6, to deliver support for Google’s Gemini Live, and it comes right as a major sale lands.
Sony is the latest brand taking notes from Google Pixel with its latest Xperia 10 VII adopting a camera bar, but that’s not all that’s notable about this new midrange release.
Sony Xperia phones make up just a tiny fraction of the overall smartphone market, and the brand isn’t exactly exuding confidence in its future. Sony, however, says that Xperia is a “very important” part of its business and that it will continue to “nuture” it.
Despite never being a major player, Sony has continued producing its Xperia smartphone lineup for years now, but the company has reportedly decided to stop manufacturing those devices for itself.
Sony makes some of the best headphones with active noise cancellation, but a big change to the design in recent years removed the convenient foldable mechanism. With its new WH-1000XM6 release, Sony appears to be bringing back the foldable design alongside other improvements.
Despite reports that Sony’s smartphone business is shrinking, the company this week launched the Xperia 1 VI, a more powerful Android smartphone that won’t be coming to the US market.
While we await official information, renders of the upcoming Sony Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI have now leaked showing some minor design changes and alterations over the previous formula.
Sony has confirmed an “Xperia Special Event 2024” for May 17, where the Japanese tech giant is expected to launch the firm’s next flagship smartphone – the Xperia 1 VI.
Sony is injecting new life into the Bravia namesake with a lineup of 16 new TVs, all running Google TV and some proprietary features for those who’ve bought into the company’s ecosystem.
PlayStation cloud gaming hasn’t really taken off in the same way that Microsoft’s efforts have in the Xbox world, but Sony is preparing a major step up. This week, Sony has started streaming PlayStation 5 games through cloud gaming, and at up to 4K resolution.
What used to be the epitome of high-end wireless audio might now have a successor, the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds. The new XM5 earbuds bring an emphasis on better sound and incredible ANC with some added 360 virtual surround audio.
Sony recently announced that it would be making a handheld for PlayStation 5 owners, currently known as “Project Q.” There’s not much known about the handheld right now, but a new leak shows that PlayStation Project Q is running Android.
Sony is gearing up to make a big announcement on July 24. That announcement is expected to be none other than the official release of Sony’s long-awaited WF-1000XM5 earbuds.
Zoom, the video conferencing app that exploded in popularity during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, is finally getting an official release on Google TV and Android TV, but it won’t be available to everyone.
