Xperia 1 VI in Scarlet Makes Me Wish it Came to US

Tim October 14, 2024 4

Sony makes good looking phones, but the company didn't have a great history of supporting them here in the US. Plus, they were crazy expensive, which didn't help. It was confirmed this year that Sony wouldn't be selling new Xperia phones in this market, and...

Sony Appears Done With US Smartphone Market

Kellen May 17, 2024 41

Tim May 11, 2023 17

Sony announced the Xperia 1 V this week, its flagship device for 2023. Honestly, flagship almost feels like an understatement for this device, as its packed with an incredible list of specs, very enticing camera system, along with a price that is typical Sony....

Sony, Why are You Like This?

Tim March 31, 2023 13

Let's get one thing straight: Sony makes good phones. The hardware is always nice and the software has taken positive steps to becoming a perfectly usable skin atop what's usually the latest build of Android. The camera experience is top notch, and overall,...

Sony Mobile’s Hardware Design Team Has World’s Easiest Job

Tim March 6, 2023 14

The running joke is that Sony hasn't changed the overall appearance of their phones in quite some time. In fact, I don't think they have drastically changed the look of their smartphones ever. The Xperia line is stuck in a time loop of hardware design, set to...
