Read MoreSony starts winding down the Xperia Themes store, cites ‘low usage rate’
Sony is removing the Sony Xperia XZ3 from the list of supported devices for the Xperia Themes store. Sony cites a “low usage rate” as the reasoning behind limiting Xperia Themes access.

Read MoreSony Xperia XZ3 specs: More of the same, but is that bad?
Sony just announced the Sony Xperia XZ3 at IFA 2018 in Berlin.

Read MoreSony Xperia XZ3 announced: Same design but with an OLED display and Android Pie
Sony just announced the Xperia XZ3 live from IFA 2018 in Berlin. While the phone isn’t visually much different than last year’s Xperia XZ2, it did get some refinements and upgrades to make the entire experience of using the phone more enjoyable.

Read MoreSony Xperia XZ3 leaked, looks almost exactly like the XZ2 Premium
Earlier this year, Sony debuted the Xperia XZ2 Premium. It was a radical departure in design from previous Sony phones, but it wasn’t received very well. The slippery back and heavy frame made it difficult to hold, and the strange fingerprint sensor location wasn’t ideal. We’ve known a lower-end version of the XZ2 Premium was […]
