We have seen a number of hands-on pictures of the Xperia Z Ultra in black and white, however in-the-wild pics of the purple version has eluded us. Well luckily we’ve come across a hands-on video below that gives a quick tour of the Z Ultra in purple. We even get a brief side-by-side with the purple Xperia Z at the beginning too. We’re still not sure which of the three colours (black, white and purple) would get our vote – although we’re probably leaning towards the white version at the moment.

Thanks @musumappa!

How many Sony products can you spot in this Skyfall promo TV ad?

The new James Bond film Skyfall has its Royal World Premiere in London later this evening, so we thought it would be an apt time to show you this new TV ad. The “Sony Skyfall Intelligence Gathered” commercial is product placement galore, with Sony leveraging its position to showcase its latest brands.


Sony is trying to get the message of how its products interact and this comes across well in the strapline: “Even a man known for working alone needs technology that works together.” Check out the video below and see how many Sony products you can spot, it’s not hard as the product placement isn’t subtle.

Xperia AX gets vague Nov/Dec launch date; promo videos released

Japan’s NTT DoCoMo announced its winter handset line-up earlier today. It officially confirmed that the Sony Xperia AX (SO-01E) would be headed to the network and announced plans to release the handset between November and December this year. This is a pretty vague launch date. It is already the middle of October, so we thought that by now Sony would be able to refine the release date down to one month rather than two.


However, what it suggests to us is that it will launch towards the end of November or early December, in line with what Swedish retailers are showing for the Sony Xperia V. If Sony Japan was confident of launching the Xperia AX in November it wouldn’t even mention December. Consumers are fickle and don’t like waiting. It appears that Sony will do its darnedest to get the handset out by the end of November, but as the deadline is tight they are using December as a fall-back.

To celebrate the official launch of the handset, Soy Mobile has released a number of promo videos for the handset (see below). If you want to see some hands-on photos of the Xperia AX in different colours then check out the IT Media and Watch Impress reports. The official Sony Xperia AX product page can be found here.

The water and dust-resistant Sony Xperia AX is the Japanese variant of the Xperia V. It has a 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8960 chipset, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, a 4.3-inch (720 x 1280) display, 13MP camera, VGA front camera, LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, MHL, 1700mAh battery and microSD memory card support. It will also come with some Japanese-specific features such as an infrared port, 1-Seg TV tuner and FeliCia NFC. The Xperia AX will have dimensions of 129 x 65 x 10.8mm and will weigh 120g. The phone will be available in four colours (black, pink, turquoise and white).

Xperia V’s new camera filters demoed on video

The Sony Xperia V (LT25i) has been given a thorough hands-on by the Sony Mobile Russian team. They have posted a 16-minute video of the handset, all of it in Russian. We couldn’t catch the gist of most of it due to the language barrier but did spot some new camera UI features towards the end of the video. 

It shows a number of camera filters that will now be enabled when taking pictures. There is also some kind of slider on the right which turns the brightness up and down. If there is anyone that speaks Russian and can give more details on this we’d love to hear about it in the comments below.
