A New PS4 Remote Makes the Playstation a Halfway Decent Set-Top Box

Sony’s Playstation 4 does most of the TV-watching things a TV-watching box is meant to do, apart from the fact that watching Netflix using two analog sticks is a pain. Sony’s new Bluetooth universal remote should fix all that. The new PS4 Universal Media Remote, $30 from your favorite internet retailer later this month, should…

Sony’s Image Sensors Are Good Enough To Survive as a Separate Company

Sony is spinning its moneymaking image sensor business into its own company that’ll be named Sony Semiconductor Solutions. And rather than propping up other electronics lines that haven’t been performing as well, the semiconductor business will now be able to make a lot of money. Last year, for example, Sony’s image sensors dominated its competitors,…

TAG Heuer’s Luxury Android Smartwatch Will Be Even Pricier Than We Expected

Crazy expensive watches usually do well–we have the back links to prove it. But would you really fork over $1,800 for some ritzy wrist candy? TAG Heuer’s CEO, Jean-Claude Biver seems to think so. But the price of the Swiss company’s Android watch wasn’t always that steep. Earlier in the year, TAG Heuer stated that…

Sony Secretly Fixed The PlayStation 4’s Annoying Hardware Quirks

What’s the most annoying thing about the PlayStation 4? Is it perhaps the jet-engine-like sound it makes, or the capacitive buttons that eject your disc at the slighest provocation? Sony’s latest PS4 solves those woes. Back in June, Sony announced a new version of the PlayStation 4 that would be lighter, slightly more power efficient,…

Sony Wants You To Conveniently Forget The Reason You’d Buy Its Handsets

The number one reason to buy a Sony phone? They’re waterproof. It’s pretty much the only thing that Sony consistently does better. And now, Sony wants to make sure you forget it. This week, the stalwart Xperia Blog noticed that Sony is significantly backtracking on its waterproofing claims. Simply put, Sony’s asking owners not to…

Sony A7s II: The Best Low-Light Mirrorless Camera Now Records 4K Video Onboard

Last year, Sony’s A7s camera blew us away with its low-light video powers that could capture decent footage, even when in complete darkness. Today, we’re getting a new version that shoots 4K video. The A7S II boasts the same 12-megapixel sensor as the A7S, with the same 100-469,600 ISO range that can be expanded to…

Sony A7R Mark II Review: A Beautiful Dream That Ends In Tears

You can’t buy a single camera that does it all, no matter how much you spend. The most expensive DSLR or mirrorless offerings will give you top-notch photos or great video—not both in a single package. But Sony’s A7r Mark II is tantalizingly close to being that do-it-all camera. What Is It? The A7r Mark…

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Hands-On: Small But Mighty

Sony’s smaller version of the Xperia Z3, the Xperia Z3 Compact, was a fantastic phone. It was the first time we saw a major manufacturer pack all the high-end goodness of a flagship phone into a smaller form package, and we liked what we saw. It offered the kind of specs you’d like to see…

Sony Xperia Z5 Family: The Trio Topped Off With a New 4K Display Beast

After plenty of talk about who would be first to launch a smartphone with a 4K screen, it looks like Sony’s gone and done it, with a screen that has double the pixel density of the iPhone 6 Plus — despite being the same size. Today at IFA, Sony unscrewed the cap on three new…

The New 1TB PS4 is Still Using Old Hardware

Sony recently revised the PS4 hardware, sneaking out a new model that was less power hungry, quieter and cooler – but it seems the new hardware hasn’t been used on PS4s that are now being sold with a 1TB hard drive. Our pals at TechRadar have issued a stark warning not to buy the 1TB…

Sony A7S Adventure Tested: Ultimate Low-Light Mirrorless?

I’ve been dragging the Sony A7S on all of my adventures for the last few months — shooting in broad daylight and the dead of night. It’s gotten dirty; even dropped. Here’s how it performed. Earlier this year while riding a $450 motorcycle through Vietnam, I lost my backpack along with everything in it —…

What the Hell Is This Combination TV Remote-Speaker, Sony?

Sony Japan just announced the SRS-LSR100, a little wireless portable speaker designed for your TV, with a built-in remote frankenstein’d on top. It’s a bizarre gadget—but it actually makes complete sense. The stated purpose of his device is to be able to hear your television when you’re far away from it. I’m sympathetic to this…

At this week’s SIGGRAPH design conference, I spent two days wandering among basketball players wearing Tron-like motion capture suits and CGI-rendered freeways.
