Sony Xperia U now available on Three UK
Three is the first British carrier to offer the Sony Xperia U. You know, we’re talking about Sony’s mid-level device that comes with rather small (by today’s standards) 3.5-inch screen. However, it does rock some personalization options like that annoying illuminating strip at the base of the phone which changes color to match the dominant color of the screen, as well as customizable caps that slot on to the bottom of the phone. Moreover, the Xperia U also sports a 5-megapixel camera with Exmor R sensor and fast 1.5 second … Read more

Rumor: Sony Xperia Lotus: The successor to the 3 inch Xperia Active
Announced 11 months ago, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Active (pictured above, reviewed in the video below) is a device that most people ignored since it didn’t have bleeding edge hardware specifications. We’re talking a 3 inch 480 x 320 pixel display, 1 GHz single core processor, 512 MB of RAM, and a 5 megapixel camera. What made the Active special though was that it was seemingly indestructible. Waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, lifeproof, you couldn’t kill the thing if you tried! According to UnwiredView, there’s going to be a successor that should … Read more

Sony Xperia ST21i with HVGA screen, Ice Cream Sandwich caught in the wild
Sony is apparently preparing a new low-end Android smartphone marked as ST21i. The information comes from the TechBlog.gr, which was kinda enough to share two photos of the device. We don’t have all the information about this little fella’ but we do know it’s an entry-level device that rocks a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen, 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 3-megapixel camera, while Android 4.0 is running the show. And we thought Ice Cream Sandwich requires more RAM and faster CPU? Either we were dead wrong or the ST21i isn’t exactly the … Read more

Sony has expectantly opened its PlayStation Suite developer program to the general public.

Once the beta period is up later this year, developers interested to reach Sony device owners will have to pay their way to the PlayStation Store, the benefit that costs some 100 bucks … Read more

Sony Xperia Sola is at the FCC
Sony Xperia Sola is at the FCC, allowing government-paid engineers to check out its guts and make sure it’s safe to be used by the general public. If you recall from our previous post on the phone, it’s an Android smartphone that finds its place somewhere between the Xperia U and Xperia P. The Sola comes with a 3.7-inch 854×480 pixels screen, 1GHz dual-core processor, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, dual cameras, an array of sensors and so on. At the moment, Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show though that … Read more

Sony SmartWatch now available in the US
With the advent of the cellphone, more and more people are no longer using watches to tell the time. Heck, we carry devices with us 24/7 that tell us the time at a quick glance, and it’s not that much more inconvenient to pull something out of our pockets than look down at our wrist, right? Watchmakers and electronics companies alike are not quite ready to let the watch go just yet, however, and are continually finding ways to bring the watch back. Many are betting on the success of smart … Read more

Sony Xperia S heading to Canada
Sony announced that the Xperia S will soon be available at its stores across Canada. Beginning April 17th, fans of the Japanese company will be able to get the unlocked device and use it on Rogers’ network. Unfortunately we don’t know the price and can only speculate how much this powerful smartphone will cost — if I had to guess, I would say it will sell for some $650. Now that’s all cool to see Sony bringing its new smartphone(s) to Canada, but it seems they failed to reach an … Read more

Sony Xperia P is at the FCC, ready to sing along AT&T’s network
Although Sony has better devices than the Xperia P, it’s still a solid mid-to-high end phone with that awesome (though kinda small-ish) WhiteMagic screen, which is said to be useful even when used on a sunny day. And that phone is now at the FCC where the government paid engineers are (almost) having a time of their life, while also making sure the device is safe to use by the general public. The Xperia P unit they’re testing comes with a quad-band radio and is perfectly capable of running on … Read more

Upcoming Sony Xperia phone to rock a 4.3-inch AMOLED screen from AU Optronics
While Sony’s Reality display technology does look awesome, it tends to use more energy than other screens used by the rest of the industry. The problem is that Sony uses LCD-based screen, whereas most other handset makers have AMOLED-based ones, which are more energy efficient. That, however, is about to change with China Times’ report indicating that the Japanese giant has ordered 4.3-inch AMOLED screens from AU Optronics, to be used in an upcoming phone that will be introduced in the second half of the year. Folks at Taiwan-based AU … Read more
