Alleged photo of the Sony Xperia C4 leaks out
Sony‘s upcoming Xperia Z4 flagship may be grabbing headlines as of late, but there may be yet another Sony handset on the horizon. The device is called the Xperia C4 (codenamed Cosmos), and according to some alleged images, will feature a very prominent front-facing camera. Multiple renders and prototypes of the device have leaked out in the past few weeks, but now popular smartphone leaker @upleaks is back with another prototype image.
As a followup to last year’s C3 handset which Sony claimed was “the world’s best selfie smartphone”, judging by the image, the C4 will feature a similar design. Other than the software, large front-facing camera and LED flash, not much of the device seems to differentiate itself from past Sony handsets.
The popular leaker also suggests that the Xperia C4 will carry the model number E53XX, which fits in with Sony’s past model number trends. Other than the few details we’ve outlined here, not much other information has been leaked about the device. Other than the possible release date of a May-June timeframe, the majority of its internals are still somewhat of a mystery. Given the mid-range specifications of the C3, this new device likely won’t launch as a flagship level handset.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated as we hear more about this new device.
JXE Streams: We conquer our fear of ‘Dark Souls 2’ on PS4
It’s been just under two weeks since Bloodborne brutalized me on JXE Streams. After years of building up the gumption to actually tackle one of From Software’s vicious action role-playing games, I finally braved its rank, monster-filled hallways. Know what? I loved it; the tension, the terror and the challenge are intoxicating. Not content to only explore Bloodborne‘s Victorian nightmare, I’ve decided to finally try its swords-and-sorcery predecessor, Dark Souls 2. We streamed Dark Souls 2 when it came out on PC in 2014, but this is the brand new PlayStation 4 version. We’ll play it for the first time live, for your pleasure.
Tune in right here, to Twitch.tv/Joystiq or at the top of Engadget.com/gaming at 3PM ET to check out the first two hours of Dark Souls 2. Have we played it before? Never. Are we going to die a whole hell of a lot for you? You know it.
If you dig the stream, please make sure to follow us on Twitch! That way you’ll know when we go live. If you want to know what we’ll be streaming in the coming weeks, bookmark Engadget.com/gaming to check out our schedule.

Latest leaked photos of the Sony Xperia Z4 show us everything from all angles
Sony is expecting a lot from 2015, not least of all selling 38 million devices despite considerable competition on all sides. Spearheading this effort will be the Sony Xperia Z4, Sony’s yet-to-be-announced flagship device that is expected to be made official sometime soon, and as if right on cue, leaks have been appearing on a daily […]

Last year, Sony introduced the phone designed especially to take ‘selfies’ known as the Sony Xperia C3. As weird as it sounds, taking selfie has become a huge trend among teenagers and even adults as well, and Sony decided to take advantage by this situation. It seems the Xperia C3 was a success as Sony is working on a successor, known as the Sony Xperia C4. The phone was leaked on Twitter by @upleaks with a description “Sony Xperia C4(Cosmos)”.
Cosmos is the codename of the upcoming of Xperia C4. The successor will have the same gigantic camera like its predecessor with a front-facing flash as well, so the users can fulfill all their selfie fantasies. Well, for now this is all we know about this smartphone. No words on the release date or its pricing, but there is a chance that we might see this phone debuting alongside the upcoming Sony Xperia Z4.
Would you like to have a ‘selfie’ phone? Or are you satisfied with the one you have? Let us know in the comment box below.

More sad news for Sony: T-Mobile abruptly discontinues its Sony Xperia Z3 with less than 6 months on the shelves
T-Mobile has discontinued sales of its Sony Xperia Z3 device with just under 6 months of being released. While it may be stunning to hear at first, it’s not much of a surprise to most if one were to really think about it. It’s no secret that Sony’s mobile phone division is well behind its competitors (Samsung, HTC, LG, Apple) and with lackluster sales of its Z3, T-Mobile has no other choice but to yank the device from its shelves.
I’ve been a fan of Sony’s mobile devices and have always felt that they are highly underrated, but it just doesn’t stand a chance with other Android competitors that already have brand recognition with the consumers. This news also comes at a bad time as Sony’s Z3 successor, the Z4, is set to be unveiled soon with leaked pictures already surfacing. Will the Z4 suffer the same fate?
Do you guys own a Sony Z device? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Do you think the Z4 will suffer the same fate as it’s predecessor?

More images of the Xperia Z4 surface online
A couple of leaked images appeared online yesterday presenting Sony’s upcoming flagship smartphone of 2015, the Xperia Z4, in all its glory, and now, thanks to the folks over at the popular French blog, NoWhereElse, we’ve got our hands on some more.
These five new images don’t reveal anything new about the device. They simply highlight the subtle changes to the OmniBalance design.
The Xperia Z4 is expected to pack a 5.2-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, a 1.5GHz Snapdragon 810 chipset, an Adreno 430 GPU, 4GB of RAM, 32/64GB of expandable flash memory and a 3,400 mAh non-removable battery.
Unfortunately, we still have no word on a release date for the device, but, in the meantime, feel free to cast your eye over the newly-leaked photos.

Sony Xperia C4 possibly revealed by a new leak
Sony launched the large sized Xperia C3 phablet back in August last year in some of its key midrange markets. It seems like the Japanese manufacturer is now prepping the launch of a successor, aptly named the Xperia C4.
The image of the smartphone accessed by a popular Sony fan blog reveals the handset’s massive front facing camera accompanied by an LED flash, indicating that this will be targeted towards the selfie loving audience.
It is further said that the Xperia C4 will be officially unveiled by May or June this year running Android 5.0 Lollipop. The device will be supposedly sold in white, black and turquoise color variants. Unfortunately, there are no additional details available on the hardware of the smartphone, but we expect that to be revealed in due time.
What do you think?

T-mobile no longer offers Sony Xperia Z3 online
Despite creating beautiful devices, Sony hasn’t seen the growth in mobile that it has hoped for, which has led the Japanese giant to announce its plans to scale back its mobile efforts going forward. There are numerous possible reasons why Sony isn’t in a more dominant position in the mobile market, though lack of presence in North America certainly could play at least a small role.
This situation has been looking a little bit better with the Sony Xperia Z3, which made its way to T-Mobile and to also to Verizon, with the latter carrier offering a special variant dubbed the Z3v. Unfortunately, increased presence hasn’t necessarily translated to increased demand, as evidenced by the fact T-Mobile has now pulled the Xperia Z3 from its online store.
@Serotheo The Z3 is no longer available. Here are our current Sony devices: http://t.co/ijK7q3PuYq *JB
— T-Mobile (@TMobile) April 5, 2015
While there’s no way to say for sure that the uncarrier pulled the phone due to limited demand, we wouldn’t be too surprised. From a slow rollout of Lollipop to limited advertising in the US, the Sony Xperia Z3 just hasn’t made a big enough impression in the states and things aren’t liable to improve with new 2015 flagships like the One M8 and Galaxy S6 surfacing.

On the other hand, the Sony Xperia Z4 is likely just around the corner, with new images leaking today, and so perhaps T-Mobile simply ran low on inventory and decided to wait it out for the Z4 as opposed to working with Sony to secure more stock? Only time will tell for sure.
Sony predicts it will sell 38 million handsets in 2015
Sony has had a particularly rough ride in the smartphone market of late – after a barnstorming run with the Sony Xperia Z and Xperia Z1, Sony’s fortunes started going south very quickly with ordinary release after ordinary release and losses across the board. So much so that Sony CEO said that even a splitting […]

Claim your PlayStation Vita settlement credit now
If you’ve been anxiously waiting to claim the credit Sony owes you after it settled with the Federal Trade Commission over misleading PlayStation Vita ads, you’ll be glad to hear that you can finally take action. The company handling Sony’s settlements has launched a website that lets you file a claim so long as you bought a Vita in the US before June 1st, 2012. The options are fairly tempting. You can receive a $25 check or PSN credit if you’re only concerned about the bottom line, but you can also choose from one of three bundles with decent (if aging) games like the God of War Collection and Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Be sure to move quickly, whatever you do — you have to file for compensation by June 29th.
