What world is this? Sony just beat a bunch of brands to stable Android 16.

androidauthority.com Unknown Wed, 17 Sep 2025 09:42:12 +0000

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Sony has quietly brought stable Android 16 to its Xperia 1 VII. The manufacturer has beaten several other major brands to the punch with this move. This also comes months after Sony finally offered a more respectable update policy for its flagship phones. Sony doesn’t have the best reputation for software updates, as it has long offered terrible update policies for its phones. That changed with the Xperia 1 VII earlier this year, and now there’s more g

I replaced my AirPods Max with the AirPods Pro 3, and didn't mind the $300 price gap

Apple AirPods Pro 3 ZDNET's key takeaways The AirPods Pro 3 bring several design updates and a bunch of new or upgraded capabilities to a product that was already among the best headphones. Apple kept the retail price at $249, and this product tends to get discounted during holiday sales.

Sony’s CEO on Seeing ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Become a Big Hit… for Netflix

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-12 21:15:28

The success of KPop Demon Hunters has been one of the stories of the summer. Sure, Lilo & Stitch was the highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office. Yes, Superman did well enough to launch the DC Universe. And of course, it was awesome to see an original genre film like Weapons clean up. But above all that, it’s the animated musical that became not only Netflix’s biggest movie ever but also a box office hit in a single weekend that history will look back on with most interest.

On Aug. 26, gamers booted up their consoles and killed a whole lot of bugs. While that may not sound newsworthy on the surface, Sony and Microsoft were actually making history. That's because PlayStation gamers were getting their first taste of Marcus Fenix's classic Locust-blasting adventure in Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of a gritty third-person shooter classic -- and a former Xbox exclusive game.

Sony RX1R III review: Waiting 10 years to be underwhelmed

The RX1R III is an incredible camera, capable of capturing stunning photos. However, for something Sony waited nearly a decade to update and is charging $5,100 for, it also feels like a missed opportunity. First, the RX1R III is nearly $2,000 more expensive than its predecessor. Plus, it’s missing a handful of features the company really should have included for it to hold its own against other high-end compact cameras, including Fujifilm’s X100VI and GFX100RF, as well as the Leica Q3 family.
