Sony released the Xperia 1 V on May 11 last year. According to the latest news, the Japanese company plans to continue almost the same release rhythm in 2024. A poster exposed by Weibo user @zackbuks shows that Sony will hold an Xperia new product launch conference on May 17.

It is noticed that the poster itself did not reveal which phone will be unveiled at the conference, but it is widely speculated that one (or the only one) will be the Xperia 1 VI, which has been frequently exposed recently.

The blogger also previously revealed that the Xperia 1 VI will abandon the 4K screen and 21:9 ultra-long screen aspect ratio, adopting a more industry-standard solution. Therefore, the Xperia 1 VI will be slightly wider than its predecessor. In addition, the new phone will be equipped with the exact same rear camera module as the Xperia 1 V, which will only be improved through software processing and may use some AI functions.

In addition, the Xperia 1 VI should be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor paired with at least 12GB of RAM.

At last year’s CES 2023, Sony Honda Mobility, a joint venture between Sony and Honda, was officially unveiled. The two parties named the new brand Afeela and simultaneously displayed Afeela’s first electric concept model.

After a year, the Afeela electric car once again appeared at the CES 2024 booth. This time the official played a “fancy trick” and used a Sony PS5 controller to control the car to the booth.

Of course, this is just an official technology demonstration, and it does not mean that future mass-produced models can also be driven using the PS5 controller. However, it is possible to use the PS5 controller to play games on the car screen.

The car is equipped with a unique Media Bar in the front, which in addition to displaying the car logo, can also display different content, including charging progress. The car will also support L2-level driving assistance in urban driving scenarios.

The car is equipped with an ultra-long integrated central control screen. It will also integrate Sony’s entertainment functions such as film, music, and games, and is equipped with mobile platforms such as Qualcomm Snapdragon digital chassis and Epic’s Unreal Engine 5.

According to the latest patent submitted by Sony, the company may apply PS VR2 functions such as eye tracking to non-VR games. If these features are implemented, PS VR2 players will enjoy a better gaming experience on multiple games on PlayStation 5.

Sony launched the PS VR2 headset on February 22 this year, supporting a number of native VR games, including “Horizon: Call of the Mountain”, “Gran Turismo 7” and “Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate”. Early reports indicate that PS VR2 is selling poorly, with low stock at retailers appearing to be a factor. Sony restocked PS VR2 stock at retailers in the weeks and months after the headset launched, and claimed that sales of the headset exceeded expectations. Despite the current lack of new PS VR2 games being developed by first-party studios, Sony appears to be preparing a major update.

Sony’s latest patent filing suggests the company may plan to apply eye tracking and other PS VR2 features to non-VR games to improve gaming performance when using the headset. The patent details a system that focuses and renders the area the player is looking at at a higher resolution, known as the Region of View (ROG). This process is already supported in native PS VR2 games such as Horizon: Call of the Mountain, but the patent notes that it can also be applied to non-VR games to improve frame rates at high resolutions. Additionally, according to Sony’s patent, PlayStation 5 games may be “patched, upgraded, or remastered” to support eye tracking and VR capabilities.

This feature introduced by the patent will allow the PlayStation 5 console to allocate less processing power to areas outside of PS VR2 users’ ROG. Since the processing power is transferred to the ROG, players may enjoy a smoother gaming experience due to frame rate higher. Additionally, in cinematic action games such as Sony Santa Monica Studio’s God of War, graphical detail in ROG will also be improved for clearer images.
