The Sony WF-1000XM4 headphone and WH-1000XM4 earphones are currently among the best wireless audio devices available. But they do feel bland in terms of colours. If you plan to get any of them, you might want to wait for the newly revealed special edition.

June has passed by and we are now in the second half of 2019. But did you also know way back on 1 July 1979, it was the first time that Sony launched the WALKMAN music player? As of 1 July 2019, this marks as Sony WALKMAN's 40th anniversary and they are having a #throwback at its product throughout the years.  

A limited run of Sony’s Walkman has been launched, to coincide with the release of the new Final Fantasy XV for the PS4 and Xbox One. The A-series Walkman features pixel-art versions of the protagonists of the latest game etched to the rear of the metal body, along side the game’s Roman numeral logo.

It seems that it isn't just the phablet range that Sony is filling up but also the smartphone range as well as they recently announced the Sony Xperia E1. Featuring a powerful loudspeaker, the Xperia E1 looks to retain the same premium design as other Xperia smartphones while going for a price range from $174 (RM577) to $203 (RM666). Tech specs and features for the Sony Xperia E1 include a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4-inch display with 480 x 800 pixel resolution, 512MB RAM, 4GB storage and dual-SIM support. The main feature of the Xperia E1 is the 100 dB loudspeaker fitted onto the backside of the smartphone along with Sony WALKMAN audio technology. Since it is designed for the budget conscious the Xperia E1 has a 3MP rear camera but still supports WiFi, aGPS and Bluetooth 4.0. No news on when it would be available in Malaysia but it should be soon. For now, check out the videos in this article.
