Foreign media quoted Sony officials as saying that it is expected that in the early summer of this year, ZOOM video calls will be adapted to specific Bravia TV models compatible with BRAVIA CAM cameras, such as Sony TV’s flagship model XR-A95K.

‎It is noticed that the BRAVIA CAM camera mentioned here can adjust the sound and image accordingly by calculating the distance between the user and the TV. In addition, the camera can also be used to analyze ambient light and color temperature and supports basic gesture control. It can also automatically dim the screen to save energy when it detects that no one is around.

‎Actually, as early as 2019, a product with a similar concept came out – the TV box Facebook Portal TV. The device supports video chatting on the TV. After connecting it to the TV through an HDMI cable, the user logs in to his Facebook/WhatsApp account and can initiate a video call to a designated object by voice control.

Sony said that due to the recent external environment, high raw material costs, manufacturing and logistics costs, etc., the following revision of shipping prices is carried out, with an average increase of 14%. At the same time, set the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of products, the implementation of the proposed retail price revisions.

The products affected include.

"Sony Bravia TV, Blu-ray Disc Recorder, Blu-ray Disc Player / DVD Player, Bar Speaker, Home Theater System, Component Audio, Video Projector, Digital Single Lens Camera, Digital Single Lens Camera Alpha [E-mount] Lens, Digital Camcorder, Digital Camera, Professional Camcorder, Radio, CD Radio, Radio, Active Speaker, Neck Speaker, Portable Audio Player, IC Recorder, Voice Recorder, Headphone, Recording Media, etc."

Of course, Sony will also upgrade its OLED or QD-OLED product line. LG has announced that the brightness of the new generation panel will be increased by 70%, and QD-OLED is inherently more efficient. The key is that Sony’s XR sensor chip is powerful and the color is more comfortable. These two series should be upgraded simultaneously, but considering the sluggish global consumption, perhaps the intensity will not be particularly large.

Building a car is the key

It is no news that Sony has teamed up with Honda to build electric cars. Considering the pace of cooperation between the two parties and the goal of launching in 2026, the new concept car on display this year should be closer to the mass-produced version than the Vision in 2021. At that time, we should see the specific specifications of the electric car released by Sony-Honda. Of course, it is also possible. Continue to launch concept cars to test the tone of the market. And you must know that Sony’s electric cars are produced in the United States. Considering the hot demand in the United States, will Sony-Honda launch a pickup?

Sony-Honda’s new car must be the focus product of this year’s CES, because of its performance and functions, it will become the target of friends and businessmen. For example, some Tesla cars can play Steam games, and Sony cars can obviously play PS5…

Is there any news about PS VR2?

Sony’s PS5, as a user, has produced a lot of masterpieces in the past year. Elden’s ring plus the exclusive God of War, GT, PS5 as the host, is above the passing line.

Now the question is what can users gain by buying PS VR2? The author is a PS VR user. To be honest, there are not many VR applications and games on PS4 that must be VR. Perhaps Ace Air Combat is one of them. So what does PS VR2 use to attract users? 4K resolution? The TV is also 4K, does it have to be VR? Really hope Sony gives consumers a reason to consume PS VR2 at CES2023.

Of course, Sony may bring other surprises, but generally speaking, the focus should still be on car making and PS VR2. Let us look forward to the press conference together!
