Sony Mobile at SXSW WOW Studio Exhibit

We’re here at SXSW and we all know it wouldn’t be the same without some of your favourite Xperia technology on display.

There’s plenty happening, but here are the Xperia highlights:

3D Creator

We don’t need to tell you about 3D Creator, you’ve heard it all before, you’ve got a 3D scan of half the contents of your home, from your fruit bowl to flowers – but there’s a littl

e something extra for 3D creators at SXSW – an Xperia XZ1 wielded by a robotic arm to create a complete 3D model of your head. Your scan will then allow you to star in a brand new game.



AI and Robotics:

Can you have a Sony tech showcase without everyone’s favourite robot dog? Don’t worry, aibo is on hand for petting and fetch, but we’re really flexing our AI muscles at SXSW this year with Xperia Hello! and also providing more details on the Sony Innovation Fund.

Interactive message board, with Xperia Touch:



From AI to AR, the interactive Xperia Touch entrance message board really feels like the future, with Sony’s unique sensing technology, it recognizes touch and motions– think of the screens from Minority Report, but fun. At SXSW, you can get a taste of what this tech is capable of, by leaving a message or doodle as you enter or leave the WOW Studio – we’ve had close to 1000 each day!

So there you have it, if you’re fortunate to be at SXSW this week, drop by and join in, aibo is expecting you.

Meet The Makers: The man who gets millions of Xperia owners out of bed everyday

No one likes being woken up in the morning, so if you are going to be torn from the sweet embrace of sleep, it needs to be by something that doesn’t make you want to throw your smartphone out of the window.



Did you ever stop to think that it’s actually someone’s job to compose the alarm music that wakes you up? Well, it is and the experts at Xperia have been working on making the process of getting up that little more bearable.

To learn more, we dropped in on Jun-ichi Nagahara who has worked for Sony in Tokyo for 27 years and is a Sound and User Interface Designer, AKA the mastermind behind the music that starts your day, every day.

First off, how does it feel to wake up Xperia users every morning?

It’s an immense responsibility; millions of Xperia users are relying on us to ensure they get out of bed. It’s a job we take very seriously.

What makes a good piece of music to wake up to?

It has to have a good melody-line, it’s the morning so it needs to be quite gentle with a simple arrangement and of course it has to be specially mastered to suit a phone alarm.

How did you decide on the default Xperia alarm tone?

We did lots of ‘Shingi’ (deliberation, discussion) to decide, and, of course, lots and lots of testing.

How have alarms and ringtones developed alongside the progression of smartphones?

For each Xperia generation, there are total design concepts for each new product. We need to consider the new design concept and make sure the sounds fit – all aspects of the phone have to work in harmony, even the alarms.

What alarm tone wakes you up in the morning?

Personally, I use the Xperia default alarm on the Z3 Compact, I use it alongside the Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock app (available via the Google Play Store, an intelligent alarm clock that analyses your sleep and wakes you in the lightest sleep phase.)

Finally, what’s the trick to avoiding the snooze button?

I find putting the phone as far away from the bed as possible does the trick, the other side of the room for example, it just means you have to get up to turn it off. I also like to think that we make good alarm-music that people want to wake up and listen to!

So there you have it, the next time you get aggravated by your alarm, think about how much more annoying if it would be if it wasn’t for the tireless work of Jun-ichi Nagahara to make it that much more bearable.

The Sony Mobile MWC 2018 FAQThe Sony Mobile MWC 2018 FAQ

Thanks to everyone who has been sharing questions with us over @sonymobilenews since we unveiled Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact on Monday morning.

For anyone that missed the Q&A on Twitter, we wanted to share some of the most popular questions right here on the blog.


How much will Xperia XZ2/ XZ2 Compact cost?

I’m afraid we don’t have pricing info as this can vary globally. Our recommendation is to check with local retailers.

You mentioned Sony Mobile dual camera tech on stage, when is that coming?

Exciting right? We are working on a dual camera technology that enables ultra-high sensitivity for low light image and video capture. There’s no timeline as yet but we’ll keep you posted as we hear more.

Why did you remove the headphone jack on XZ2 and XZ2 Compact?

This is part of the shift to our new Ambient Flow design language. In order to create the beautiful seamless design, our designers needed to remove the headphone jack. Plus, we’re aware of the major market trend toward wireless headphones over wired headphones.

But can I still use wired headphones with XZ2 or XZ2 Compact?

Yes absolutely, both new smartphones come boxed with an adaptor. This will also support Hi-Res Audio.

Is there an XZ Premium follow up?

No news as yet. XZ Premium is our innovation flagship and can still be purchased in most markets.

XZ1 had a 13MP camera, how come XZ2 just has 5MP?

Pixel number isn’t everything. The 5MP camera on XZ2 and XZ2 Compact boasts F2.2 which means it is brighter than previous 5MP cameras used on Xperia devices. Plus, it has a 90FOV compared with 80FOV of our previous 5MP camera. These factors will combine together with the increased processing power and image quality brought by the Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform to ensure front-facing camera shots still looks great, even with fewer pixels.

How has Super slow motion been upgraded on XZ2 and XZ2 Compact?

It is now possible to record in Full HD 960fps. In the case of Full HD (1080p), the duration of slow motion is three seconds. 720p offers up to six seconds, giving you lots of choice to be super creative with your smartphone videos.

Hands (and ears) on with Xperia XZ2 and Xperia Ear Duo

Did you catch the Sony announcements from yesterday’s MWC conference and can’t wait to get your hands on the new Xperia tech? Us too…

That’s why today, we headed backstage at the Sony Mobil­e booth to try our newest handset and smart product to give you the lowdown on all the best features. ­First up, Xperia XZ2.

Dynamic Vibration System

A line we’re seeing a lot here on the Sony booth is ‘Entertainment to the Extreme’ and the Dynamic Vibration System (DVS) innovation is the best showcase of this we’ve come across.

For years we’ve seen and heard films, games and music, well now we can feel it as well. DVS analyses audio data and translates it into haptic feedback letting you feel the action in your hands.

Now, if you think this is like the buzz you get from a WhatsApp message notification, think again. It’s more DUALSHOCK 4 meets Xperia and you don’t have to be a phone engineer to see where the extra power is coming from. Take a look at a standard phone vibration module vs DVS…


You vs The guy she told you not to worry about
DVS affords a surprisingly varied level of feedback. A Spider-man trailer featured a scene set on the subway and as a train chugged over the tracks we felt every bump along the way.

Playing Angry Birds we could feel the tension of the catapult as we lined up our shot and the resulting carnage as our bird crashed, smashed and bashed its way through the blocks.

When it comes to music, Sony’s audio expertise shines through with powerful front facing stereo speakers making this Xperia device our loudest one yet. We were treated to Sony Music artist Rita Ora in a comparison with the XZ1 that saw an astounding improvement in sound quality and volume with DVS adding to the experience as we felt every beat of the kick drum and hiss of a hi-hat.

Xperia XZ2: Immersive viewing to the extreme.
4K HDR Video Recording

Xperia XZ2 is the world’s first phone capable of capturing 4K HDR movie recording. To put that in context, if you wanted to buy a Sony digital imaging camera capable of this, it would cost around £2,000. Now, you’ve got that power in your pocket. Move over Spielberg.

It’s a level of realism that needs to be seen to be believed and so – to demo this –  we were presented with a beautifully designed stained glass window, an XZ1 and the new XZ2, both shooting video alongside one another. The difference? The XZ1 is no slouch but in 4K HDR on XZ2 the footage looked incredible… colours popped, blacks were rich and deep, and the even the tiniest of details was visible.

It’s time to get shooting, who knows you could be standing alongside some of the world’s greats at The Academy Awards in a few years time.

See the difference with 4K HDR Movie recording
Design

Let’s not forget the product design. With XZ2 comes a complete design overhaul and an effortlessly smooth new curved 3D glass surface that fit very comfortably into the palm of our hand. Quality is the word that came to mind and the device has a reassuring heft in the hand.

Slimmed-down bezels open up an expansive 18:9 HDR screen display – perfect for enjoying entertainment on the move.

The fingerprint sensor has shifted to the back but, just like the power button placement being right where your thumb is, you’ll find your index finger naturally falls onto it. Bravo ergonomics team.

The seamless design means there’s no headphone jack. However we’re told the XZ2 will ship with a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor allowing use of wired headphones and supporting Hi-Res audio.

You also have four new colours to choose from; Liquid Silver, Liquid Black, Deep Green and Ash Pink.  Our favourite? Has to be Deep Green which we’re told is inspired by ‘light streams at the bottom of the ocean’.

Introducing Xperia XZ2 - Made to touch your senses
Xperia Ear Duo

First debuted at MWC ’17 as Xperia Ear Open Style CONCEPT, Xperia Ear Duo was the surprise opener to the MWC ’18 press conference.

The idea behind this latest Smart Product has always been ‘hands-free, eyes-free, ears-free’. The introduction of Dual Listening technology ‘reimagines the wireless headset’ and creates a unique two way listening experience. Essentially, not only are you able to listen to music and receive notifications, you’ll simultaneously be able to hear environmental sounds and conversations, meaning you won’t miss a thing.

It’s a totally new experience and one that has to be experienced to understand how you really can hear two things at once.

This was demonstrated in a beautifully simple manner, by letting us listen to music as the second half of the demo was presented – a complete dual listening experience. You’d be right in thinking that this could be an odd sensation to get used to, however, after a few minutes of testing we were able to simultaneously hear our brilliant demo team discuss the product and the Daft Punk songs playing in our ears.

In terms of feel, Duo felt much like wearing a standard set of in-ear headphones, weighing in at just 10.6g each. In fact, the lack of a unit inside your ear actually made them more wearable than comparable earphones. The supplied carry case also doubles up as a charger, neat.

Guest Post: Sony Pictures Entertainment CTO Don Eklund on the power of mobile HDR

First off I want to thank Sony Mobile for letting me join Furumi-san on stage at MWC 2018. The XZ2 and XZ2 Compact are incredible devices packed with features, but what really excites me is screen technology, in particular, their HDR displays.



In the 27 years I’ve worked at Sony I have seen dramatic improvements in picture quality, from analog VHS to digital DVD, Standard Definition to High Definition, and now the availability of High Dynamic Range in place of Standard Dynamic Range.

As I mentioned today, when people see HDR for the first time you can see their eyes widen. It’s easy to see why, HDR provides a means of delivering pictures that look “real” because image fidelity has reached a new level.

One of the best things about a company like Sony is that our technology reaches from end to end. Sony products start at the camera lens on the film set and continue all the way to living room. Now, with Xperia smartphones, you can see extraordinary pictures from the camera lens accurately realized in the palm of your hand.

And because they are Sony products it means those pictures really are extraordinary. It’s a mistake to think all HDR is created equal. A given camera can capture an image in an HDR format and a display can decode the HDR picture, but unless the devices are made with adequate quality and precision, the result will be sub-par. You can easily witness this fact in today’s televisions. A 65″ TV can be purchased for five times the cost of a cheaper model of the same size, but the cheaper device will not impress you with HDR.

I know there are doubters out there who wonder if this kind of screen tech is really needed in a mobile device. The reality is that HDR performance is independent of screen size. On a 65” TV in your living room or a 5.7” Xperia XZ2 in your pocket, the difference HDR delivers in terms of quality is unmistakeable.

Of course, it’s not just about watching content, this has implications for capturing quality as well. Mobile devices are great for sharing pictures and video with others. With the ability to shoot in HDR (supported natively by YouTube), you can make your content stand out from the ordinary.

I hope you will enjoy watching and creating cutting edge images with Xperia smartphones that bring a level of realism never seen before – I know I will.

Xperia™ Ear Duo, the highly anticipated wireless “open-ear” stereo headset rolls out to select markets from Spring 2018

Revolutionary “Dual Listening” experience brings capability to hear music and environmental sound simultaneously

Intelligent “Daily Assist” feature recognises time, location and activities to offer relevant information throughout the day

Xperia Ear Duo launches from Spring 2018 to reimagine the wireless headset

Sony Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) today announced that Xperia Ear Duo is rolling out from Spring 2018.

“Xperia Ear Duo represents what we’ve learned from audio and acoustics research” said Hiroshi Ito, Deputy Head of Smart Product Business Group at Sony Mobile Communications. “Ear Duo is the first wireless headset to deliver a breakthrough Dual Listening experience – the ability to hear music and notifications simultaneously with sounds from the world around you.”

Acclaimed concept to commercial product: Xperia Ear Duo is built to reimagine the wireless headset

Xperia Ear Duo features Dual Listening technology, so you can listen to music and receive notifications, whilst simultaneously hearing environmental sound or conversation. Whether you’re listening to music during a workout or commute, it’s an unparalleled ambient experience.

The Spatial Acoustic Conductor, developed by Sony’s in-house technology incubator Future Lab Program™, allows the sound generated behind the ear by the unit´s driver to be transmitted directly into the ear. The specially designed ring supporter surrounds the ear canal so your music can blend seamlessly with sounds from your environment.

The volume intelligently adjusts based on your surroundings and background noise, with Sony’s Clear PhaseTM audio technology eliminating sound dispersion for crystal clear listening.

Smart assistance when you need it

Driven by Sony’s ultra-low power consuming “CXD5602” chip and a sophisticated multi-sensor platform, the “Daily Assist2” feature will recognise time, location and activities to offer relevant information throughout the day – reminding you what time your next meeting is when you reach the office or narrating the latest news headlines.

Xperia Ear Duo also responds to head gestures – the advanced sensors allow you to answer or decline incoming calls by shaking or nodding your head, or skip through music by shaking your head left and right. You can also control your music and volume by simply tapping and scrolling on the device.

Voice control is also built in with flexible access to the personal assistants you use most, whether it’s Google Assistant or Siri. Quad microphone beam-forming isolates the sound of your voice, filtering out external noise to help you set reminders, send messages, make calls or launch an application, all freely and easily.

Designed to feel free

Made from durable stainless steel and soft rubber, Xperia Ear Duo sits under the ear to avoid interference with glasses or accessories. The open-ring supporter comes in three different sizes, and IPX2 splash proofing means it’s comfortable enough to wear all day, every day.

You’ll be able to enjoy up to four hours listening on a single charge, and the innovative compact case doubles as a charger, providing up to three times more power when you’re on the move. What’s more, the case offers a fast charging feature, giving you one hour of listening with just seven minutes of charging.

Xperia Ear Duo rolls out from Spring 2018 in sleek Black and Gold styles – the companion application will be available for free download at the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
