Sony has launched its new Master Series 4K HDR TV lineup, offering two models under it: the A9F and Z9F televisions. Both models feature the maker's Picture Processor X1 Ultimate, as well as a feature called Netflix Calibrated Mode. With this, Sony's TVs work to optimize Netflix content so that it offers "the same picture quality as a studio evaluation master."
Sony has release a couple of trailers for Venom so far, and with each new one, we learn a little more about the movie. In the last trailer, we finally got to see what Venom will look and sound like, but this time around, he gets a lot more screen time. He isn't alone, either, as this trailer shows us that Venom isn't the only symbiote roaming the streets.
Aside from maybe God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man is probably the most exciting PlayStation 4 exclusive of this year. Crafted by the folks over at Insomniac - which is the studio responsible for the Spyro and Ratchet and Clank series - Marvel's Spider-Man is a game that Sony has been showing off for quite some time. After what feels like a very long wait, the game is nearly here, and today Insomniac announced that it has gone gold.
It initially seemed that the smartphone world would be slowly transitioning to triple cameras, in no small part thanks to the Huawei P20 Pro. For now, though, Huawei can continue basking in the limelight as the likes of Apple and Samsung stay with their dual cameras. One OEM, however, is going to do one better, and we almost mean that literally. Just like its predecessor, the Xperia XZ3 is coming next month with just one camera on its back but it’s going to be a doozy.
Sony was once criticized for the stale design it has sported for years. Now it might be ironically be chided for changing things again and again. The Xperia XZ2, including Compact and Premium versions, is so far removed from its kin that it is barely recognizable as a Sony smartphone. The upcoming Xperia XZ3, however, may be changing things again to give it a more familiar face. At least familiar to Samsung Galaxy S users for the past two years.
Once upon a time, smartphone cameras were judged by their megapixel counts. Over time, both marketing teams and users have learned to look beyond raw numbers. Sony, however, seems to be turning things around again with its new IMX586 image sensor for smartphones. While more megapixels doesn’t always mean better, it’s hard to deny the benefits of having 48 megapixels occupying the same space as a standard smartphone camera sensor, promising not just high-resolution images but also better low-light performance.
Sony has taken the wraps off a special new PlayStation 4 Pro bundle that will be available starting early next month. The Marvel's Spider-Man Limited Edition PS4 Pro bundle doesn't merely add the video game in with an ordinary console -- you get a special crimson red design with a large Spider-Man logo on the device's top.
PlayStation 4 owners have been complaining about issues with the PSN service most of today (Thursday), primarily about trouble getting into in-game parties and joining voice chats. Sony updated the PSN status page with a warning about Gaming and Social issues earlier today, saying about 4PM EST that it was investigating the issue. No update has been given and the issues persist.
Following the Season 5 update for Fortnite, some PlayStation 4 players are reporting issues joining other players' parties, making it impossible to play Duos and Squads. Epic Games has acknowledged these reports, stating earlier today that it is "monitoring" the situation with plans to update gamers when the issue is fixed.
Sony has taken the wraps off its new Xperia XA2 Plus, a smartphone packing the company's Hi-Res audio technology, as well as an 18:9 display, 4K camera, and more. The company hawks the XA2 Plus as an "entertainment-focused" handset, one that falls within the mid-tier Xperia range. This marks the first time Sony has offered Hi-Res audio in its "super mid-range" Xperia lineup, the company says.
The Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium may not be arriving for a few weeks yet, but beginning today, those of you who are so inclined can pre-order one. Amazon has opened up pre-orders for the Xperia XZ2 Premium, but if you want one, you're going to have a lot of money. The good news, however, is that Amazon is including a pretty tempting bonus with XZ2 Premium pre-orders.
Sony has officially taken the wraps off its PS Store summer sale 2018, the time during which it slaps a bunch of deep discounts on games for the PS3, PS4, and PS Vita.

We've picked some of the best deals to make shopping easier.
