The sell-off continues. The WSJ is reporting today that Sony is looking to sell its former headquarters in central Tokyo.

Back in 2013, Sony unveiled the Xperia Z, which at that time was the company’s flagship handset. While the Xperia Z packed some pretty impressive hardware, there were a couple of features that made it stand out from the rest of the competition – waterproof and dustproof.
While we doubt these are features that many customers base their decisions on, it is a pretty handy feature especially in those “oops” moments when you drop the phone in the pool, the toilet, or where it might get wet in the rain. This is a feature Sony carried on to its other products, including the Xperia Z2.
However it turns out that waterproof and dustproof are features Samsung decided to introduce to its latest Galaxy S5 as well. With the popularity of the Galaxy S series, does Sony have something to worry about? Ravi Nookala, President of Sony Mobile Communications USA, doesn’t seem to think so. (more…)

The Sony Xperia Z2 that was unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, just earlier this week, is no doubt the latest flagship smartphone from the folks over at Sony. Well, it might seem as though a flagship device would keep its “position” within the company for a year or so, such as the iPhone from Apple and the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy S5. Things might be done differently over at Sony, however, as Sony Mobile’s Creative Director, Director of Product Planning and UX General Manager, Yoshiro Kurozumi, shared on how he figured out that a half yearly upgrade cycle would be a whole lot more beneficial to the industry.

The PlayStation 4 at the moment is only available in one color, which is black. That’s not a bad thing as most electronics tend to feature a black finish, meaning that it should fit in with the rest of your home theater setup. However what if you wanted to jazz things up a little? Well you’re in luck because ColorWare has recently announced that they have launched their own version of the PS4 which will come in a variety of different colors and finishes, right down to the controller itself.

For those who didn’t know, apparently Sony’s smartphones have been coming with a permanent screen protector attached to their displays for a while now. These screen protectors are meant to prevent the glass from shattering should the device be dropped, and while it is a great idea, unfortunately reports have suggested that it gives off a plasticky feel and is apparently more prone to fingerprints and smudges.
The good news is that Sony will be doing away with that feature with the upcoming Xperia Z2 and the Xperia Z2 Tablet. This was confirmed by Sony officials to the folks at Android Central during MWC 2014. Basically what this means is that all Sony phones and tablets will come “naked”, meaning that there will not be any extra film separating you from the glass display. (more…)
