Hi, I'm tom, this is Sony 365. This is bob the bonsai he's back with a vengeance and still alive. Surprisingly, the leaks were correct. The rumors were true. The xm4s were worth waiting for. Here are the details for you now you're going to want to stay tuned in this video, because not only are we talking about the upcoming xm4s, we're also going to cover some, not cool, PlayStation, 5 news, but then there's a really uplifting ending, which is going to improve all of our lives without any further ado, gotta check out the Walkman blog, here's what it is, and the link is in the video description below no one is on top of this more than this chap here, and it's always worth checking out his site.
Actually follow me on Twitter as well and extreme reviews, our friend slim in Russia. Russia is now doing reviews in English. So let's get these pictures on the screen now for you, I think you'll agree. It's freaking awesome to quote my friend Clint right. What are we dealing with here? The good news is that the main form factor, as we had hoped is going to be smaller.
It does look more svelte. We are dealing with an extra microphone here. It seems, and that means better call quality and that, for me, was the only significant weak spot there. Although I yeah, I always like to see them getting smaller there, because you know running around and all that kind of stuff, you feel more confident they're not going to fall out, but there's more because not only do we have these images, courtesy of our friend here at the Walkman blog we've also got these check out this case. Now again it looks smaller.
It looks a little more. How should we say discrete, perhaps not quite as clingy. Is that fair to say as the previous generation with the beautiful I mean it is still beautiful, copper, lid, but I like the fact it's nice and stealthy it looks cool a little more compact and power share and wireless charging. This is something I really wanted to see. I can't say that I mean I can't imagine that I'm going to be using this functionality on the one mark iii, not just because I don't know how I'm going to afford the one mark iii, but even if I could buy it outright, am I going to use that functionality a lot I don't know, but it's nice to have it there.
Also. I want to know in terms of how the xm4s here is shaping up. Is this what you wanted? Is it what you expected? I know that the Sony 365 crowds is probably the toughest audience you know when it comes to. You have high expectations guys, and I respect that, but let me know if you think it's you know, meeting your expectations. I have to say I'm feeling very good about this, so yeah back to the earphones themselves there, and you know the touch sensitive area here I don't know it's.
I just really like the look of these, but the question is: when are they coming out? Well, it looks like possibly as soon as June, the 8th and for all the reasoning behind that check out the Walkman blog there, and you'll be fully up to speed. Now I mentioned our good friend Zack bucks a little earlier he's. Also, of course, as you know, relatively recently, been talking about the: u potential, the new ultra, the z, ultra z, ultra. What do you think is actually going on there? I've seen many folks suggesting that it could be a l4 replacement. It could be a budget model, some folks thinking it could be a mid-tier level device, but just with a huge screen, possibly stylish support and others suggesting.
No, no. This is gonna, be the big boy, the absolute best of the best in the second half of 2021. I don't know. If that's, I mean how many flagships are we really going to be dealing with here, because at the dusty end there right up where you know they cost a lot? Yes, we've got the five mark iii and the one mark iii and the Xperia pro. Is there really room for another mega flagship? Personally, I hope it is.
I mean I whatever it is. I hope it turns out to exist and to be real. Furthermore, I can't help but feel there's a chance, a chance. It could be a step back into tablet territory and if that were the case, my goodness I'd be happy. I really want to see Sony back in the tablet space again, but anyway, let me know what you think it is and what you want it to be in the comments section below and follow us on social media.
I always forget to say that we'll be doing tons of stuff there as well breaking Sony news so just very quickly. Back one more time I forgot to mention high-res audio wireless DAC. That still looks like it's very much in the picture there so super happy about that. Don't forget these are only prototypes, so let's not get too carried away, but we're in good shape. Anyone who took our advice and decided to wait for these.
I think you're going to feel perfect about that decision and, if you're deciding to wait for the mega deals on the xm3s which are going to be just around the corner, I'm sure that would have been a smart move too, and maybe, if you don't make a lot of calls, you know you don't need that extra microphone for the improved call quality. Again you could get some cracking deals there so make sure you go to sony365. com and sign up for our deals' newsletter. The link is in the description below, and you'll get all of those deals straight through to your inbox and don't forget we have these silent white, I mean my goodness. They look fantastic.
These are only for a limited time only I'll put links in the description below. I think these are only for Europe. As things currently stand, gotta say they look cool, I'm not sure how good they'd look after you know three years of heavy use. They might look a little. You know less white, but um either way these look cool.
So that's all the good news now for the not so good news. PlayStation. Five, so chief financial officer, pirogi took, which I'm almost certain I've said totally wrong, has said, unfortunately, that these difficulties in getting hold of the PlayStation 5 are likely to continue into 2022. I mean look, you can't blame Sony too much for this. I have to say the global semiconductor shortage is a real thing and there are multiple reasons why that's been happening, and it does also come off the back of Sony's successive they've already sold 7.8 million PlayStation 5 consoles, I mean that's absolutely. You know well done Sony, you've, really smashed it out.
The park here, they're actually hoping to sell another 14.8 million over the next 12 months. So it's two things: it's the lack of semiconductors here and also the fact that Sony's doing such a great job, and they've made a really winning product here. So you know well done so there we have it. That's it for this one. On behalf of bob and me, thank you so much for watching check out the community tab, because I did recently ask anyone who lives in any country in the world where you can't easily get hold of Xperia devices.
Let me know in the community tab and even in the comments here as well. Where do you get your experience from? How do you import them? Do you have to pay additional taxes? How does it all work, I'm trying to learn as much as I can, so I can talk to these companies and see if we can make it easier for you to get hold of these devices. One more thing I forgot to say here in the Sony 365 community. We have to kind of help each other out with stuff, and I just want to throw an idea out there how we can uh use this delay between the announcement of the new phones for 2021. You know and them actually arriving to our advantage.
Do you know this guy Joe wicks? Is that his name? Well, I really like this particular chap when it comes to you know these. I don't really like exercising and staying in shape at all, quite the opposite, in fact, but I've decided I'm going to do this particular exercise link in the video description below every single day until either the one mark three or the five mark three come to think of it or the 10 mark iii is in the studio. So that way, if the delays are awful, at least I'll be absolutely ripped, and we all will. If we go down this route, we might be the fittest smartphone enthusiasts on the planet. So let's try and use what's that expression if life gives you lemons lemonade thanks so much for watching I'll, see you next time it turns out the rumors were true: the leaks were right.
It was worth waiting for the new mx4s xm4 was without any further ado, though I dude ready, really happy to see. We have, sorry. This will be eight minutes.
