Sony might be very seriously considering launching this Drone!

Back in 2018 Sony had patented this Sony Drone concept. I didn’t hear anything since than and thought Sony might stopped the project. But today a new patent surfaced that was filed just 3 months ago (October 8 2019).

This new patent explains in a more advanced way how the drone works. For example it has gesture controls:

I don’t know if Sony should really adventure in this market where DJI is currently having a big momentum…

Sony official survey asks you help “to develop our future products”

The PlayMemories has been replaces bt the new Imaging Edge software. If you use the “old” application you can find an interesting note added on January 14. Sony officially asks you to fill up the questionnaire “in order to develop our future products”

Strange enough they don’t added the survey on Imaging Edge too. Still, go ahead folks and answer their question if you can!

For example tell them that:

  • we need a simpler UI
  • Fully articulating screen with higher resolution
  • real FULL touchscreen functions
  • In camera APP support
  • And of course A7sIII, A7IV, A7000, A9r and so forth :)

Thanks to the anonymous tipster!

On February 24 Sony will announce this 64 Megapixel Xperia 5 plus

While we are anxiously waiting for the A7sIII and A7sIV Sony is clearly focuses on their unsuccessful Smartphone range. Androidnext spotted this image showing the exact sensor array. More specs via Slashleaks:

  • Roughly 6.6-inch flat OLED display
  • Dual front firing speakers
  • 8MP selfie camera
  • Triple rear camera + ToF
  • Side mounted fingerprint sensor
  • 3.5mm Jack on top frame
  • Boxy metal frames
  • Roughly 168.2 x 71.6 x 8.1mm (9.3mm including rear camera bump)

Sony plans to add all Alpha features (like EyeAf and codecs) on their smartphone lineup in an attempt to somehow increase sales. So far it hasn’t worked…

Just for fun: Playstation 5 leaked images?

I know this post has no place here…but I figured that some of my readers might care about this. The image above is supposed to show the PS5 UI…and I think that kind of easy clean design philosophy should find a way inside the future Alpha cameras too!

Below is what might be a PS5 prototype testing environment:

Smartphones, PS5 and even cars…Sony is very busy in 2020 and probably too busy to launch the A7sIII :)
