Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia UL: it's been starting to feel like Sony's transformed itself into an assembly line for 1080p Androids lately. Despite all this focus on high-end, high-res handsets, it's also managed to continue addressing other market segments, and back in March we learned about a couple more conservative models, the Xperia L and Xperia SP. Now, the Xperia L is finally going up for pre-order for interested US customers. Is it worth what Sony's asking, though? Sony is currently taking orders for the Xperia L, with the intention of shipping the phones on May 23. Its radios will ...

One rumored Sony Android we've been hearing about for a while now is the smartphone codenamed Gaga. Back in March, a rumor suggested that Gaga could eventually end up launching as the Xperia UL. Today, we get what could very well be our first look at the handset, upon some leaked pics arriving which claim to show the UL in the flesh. As you can see up top, that label clearly marks this model as Gaga. Presumably this image comes from some late-stage testing of the phone, as that "SAR" on the same label likely refers to Specific Absorption Rate testing, one of the parameters looked at by ...

Sony has proven to shine when it comes to blending great design with the ruggedness that every smartphone should have considering how much we all depend on them. Yes, we do know their 2013 line-up hasn't been perfect, but the company hasn't stopped there. The Xperia Z was a good start in proving that rouged and waterproof doesn't necessarily have to mean ugly as well, and they're bringing more products with that same mentality, now with the Sony Xperia ZR. The company has just made the device official, and even though it doesn't pack all the high-end specs of the Xperia Z, it brings ...

Of all the major Android players looking to raise their own profiles and give Samsung a run for its money – a group made up of a select few like LG and HTC – I think Sony has the most potential. Now clearly, the company has yet to adequately rise to the challenge, but look at what it's working with: fantastic brand recognition – especially when it comes to portable electronics, a huge base of gamers (and potential smartphone users) under its belt, and boatloads of media at its disposal. I could spend all day talking about where Sony's steered itself wrong over the years and failed to ...

It was difficult not to be impressed with Sony at CES. In fact, it's hard not to be impressed with the company now. It didn't necessarily steal the show in Las Vegas this year, but it was definitely among the several companies that made some rather large waves at the trade show that is less and less about mobile technology each year. At CES 2013, Sony unveiled a host of new consumer electronics. Among those new products were two new phones, the Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL, both of which quickly turned some heads. The two flagships from Sony offered all of the best specifications every ...

Then we go over some Motorola XT1055 leaks and tell you why they matter and why they don't. Sony is next as their Honami device proves to be more than just a mid-tiered phone.

Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the Galaxy S 4 carrier availability and the irony that TecTiles no longer work for it. Later we go through some Galaxy Note III rumors and the fact that apparently it'll be a bigger and better phone. Some Sony Xperia phones are next as the company plans to apparently give the phablet category a try. Then we talk about Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, and yes, that's not Android 5.0, we know. We end today's show talking about Google Now and what it means for it to only launch on iOS and not on legacy Android devices. All this and more after the break. ...
