PlayStation 5 first-quarter sales reach solid numbers!

Despite the grueling race to get our hands on one PlayStation 5, the Japanese brand has managed to ship up to 4.5 million PS5 units in Q3 2020 (fiscal year). For its first full sales quarter, the console is doing quite well. As it will go on sale in various markets this week, we could expect the total number to hit a higher mark soon. Furthermore, the number of the PS5 is quite similar to its predecessor, PS4.

The PlayStation 4’s performance was also around 4.5 million shipments for its first-quarter. Nevertheless, the legacy console’s popularity has quickly decreased over this period. The company only shipped 1.4 million units, 100,000 less than its result in the previous quarter. Furthermore, the number also went 80% lower than its performance in Q3 of 2019. With the arrival of the PlayStation 5, we could see the reason for such a reduction.

Sony Xperia XZ2 duo features drop 3.5mm audio jack. Here is the reason!

Sony has launched the Sony Xperia Xz2 and Xz2 Compact at MWC 2018. However, the company dropped the headphone jack from the Sony Xperia XZ2 duo features. Scroll down to find out the reason!

Sony Xperia XZ2 duo features drop 3.5mm audio jack. Here is the reason!

Starting with Xperia XZ2 duo, the company has changed a lot of things on its flagship smartphone series. In details, the devices no longer look like a slab of metal or glass but flaunt a new Ambient Flow design. Meanwhile, these are the first Sony smartphones to feature 18:9 aspect ratio display. However, when these smartphones are going well, the brand ironically decided to ditch the 3.5 mm headphone.

Sony claims to be the dominant market trend toward wireless headphones over wired headphones. To be fair, the HTC U11 and U11+ don’t have headphones jack either while the “Ambient Flow” design takes more than a little inspiration from HTC. Besides, the Sony Xperia Xz2 is one of the thickest flagship smartphones in 2018. Since other manufacturers include slimmer bezels and the 3.5mm port, Sony could not blame on the thinnest vertical bezels or an extra-large battery.

SONY

Sony points out that you can still use wired headphones if you like – either USB-C headphones or through the in-box adapter. In some regions, the adapter is a Y-splitter, allowing you to listen and charge simultaneously And in some areas, you’ll get Sony MH750 headphones including a built-in 3.5mm audio jack. Both Xperia XZ2 and Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact receives Hi-Res Audio system (for wired headphones and conversing cables only).

Is Sony going the right way?

From our perspective, trends always exist for a reason. Apple’s decision to remove the headphone jack at first. Meanwhile, since Sony now can produce some wireless headphones, they are likely to push customers toward wireless-headphone devices. Share with us your idea about this and stay tuned for more updates!

Best 5 Sony Xperia XZ2 features: 4K HDR Video, 3D image and…>

Sony Xperia XZ2 appeared at MWC 2018, so we wanted to take some time to go over some of its best new features. Today, let’s come up with the best 5 Sony Xperia XZ2 features in our article below!

1. Updated 3D imaging

The last iteration of the XZ line of the brand Sony gave us a 3D imaging feature, which allows users to create 3D models of objects using the back camera. Rotating around your subject would create a fully editable 3D file which you could take into software such as Blender, Maya, and Unity. Sony has now enabled the front-facing camera to make it even easier to create 3D selfies.

Moreover, Sony also increased the quality of these models by giving more details to the objects you create with the camera. Meanwhile, the front-facing camera produces much cleaner 3D models, which looks great when transferred to modelling programs. This is quite a niche feature that most users probably won’t use it. However, it could rapidly speed up the workflow of a 3D artist.

2. 960 fps Full HD video recording

Last year, Sony shocked the world when it introduced 960 fps video recording in the Xperia XZ Premium. In details, the recordings capped out at 720p resolution and hardly ideal for an industry shift towards 4K. This year, the Sony Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact are featuring a notch and maintaining the same ultra-high 960 fps, which now create 1080p Full HD video. The playback time cuts down from 6 secs (HD) to 3 secs (Full HD) while this ability is quite staggering.

3. Reactive vibration motor

Now you can feel the difference between a “tap” and a “buzz” from your device. This year, Sony takes this one step further by redesigning its vibration motor to react with movies, music, games, and other media. Moreover, the company wants you to be more immersed in your media. In details, you’ll want to hold your phone every time you watch a video or listen to music. Thus, there is an additional slider in the volume menu helps to adjust this haptics as you see fit.

4. 10-bit 4K HDR video recording

In 2017, a huge amount of video producers moved to Panasonic GH5 because it could record 10-bit 4K HDR video. Since very few cameras and no other phones can do this currently, Sony’s putting it on a phone is so incredible. In addition, having the ability to shoot in this profile gives videographers additional options when working in post-production. Moreover, you can play this video on any HDR-capable panel. Since YouTube now supports HDR content as well, this feature could end up in producing content for that platform.

5. Dual front speakers and internal DAC

Sony has fitted Sony Xperia XZ2 with dual front-facing speakers to give you the best audio experience possible. In details, the speakers go with an internal DAC, which enhances the audio quality of your music and videos. Unfortunately, the headphone jack was removed this time around. However, the internal DAC and support for high-resolution audio codecs (like aptX HD) will hopefully help users with wireless issues. Though all of the audio processing will be done on the phone, Sony is also including a dongle in the box with each unit.

Best 5 Sony Xperia XZ2 features

Those are our Best 5 Sony Xperia XZ2 features and XZ2 Compact as well. Besides, there are plenty of other things to like about this phone. Therefore, stay tuned for our full review to see all the new features once we’ve had some time with the device!
