so we've had the xperia 1 iii the 5 iii and the 10 iii and i thought we were all done for xperia
branded launches in 2021 but it turns out i was wrong we're going to get at least one more on
october the 26th. Now nobody knows exactly what sony's going to treat us to that day
but i have a few ideas and i'm going to share them with you right now but let's kick off with this
exciting new idea about a tablet so the last one we saw was way back in early 2015 the xperia z4
tablet it was really good i mean we all loved here at team b tech as we were called in those days
we loved sony's tablets and i cannot believe it's been so long since we've seen one from
sony the xperia z4 tablet was launched the same time as i think it was the m4 aqua that's how
crazy long this delay has been from then and a new tablet now if we even see one this year
but here's why i think a sony xperia tablet makes perfect sense firstly we haven't seen
one for years it's well overdue secondly all the things that make sony xperia smartphones amazing
would really lend themselves perfectly even better actually to tablets what am i talking
about well first of all the 21x9 aspect ratio here's a very expensive sony 365 prototype
by the way if you haven't already subbed make sure you do because we are soon launching our
sony xperia free smartphone global competition if you want to win a free smartphone from sony
you definitely want to make sure you're subbed we're launching that in november anyway 21x9
works fantastically on a on a phone i love my xperia one mark two um because it's easy to handle
it's light lighter than the competition um superb phones but a 21x9 tablet would be incredible
what else 4k would be superb of course in a tablet it's great on a phone better on a tablet 120hz
refresh rate again great on a phone better on a tablet expandable storage up to one terabyte of
expandable storage again in a tablet that would be fantastic and of course stereo front facing
speakers i love them on the one mark iii the one mark ii but on the tablet especially one like this
they would be absolutely superb just to give you an idea of the size here
obviously this is 21x9 the the model that i've made that's how it compares with a macbook pro
13 inch that means that this tablet would be about the same length as a macbook pro but it's a 13
inch display 21x9 oled this would be absolutely sensational incredible for gaming incredible for
watching back content of course and even if you wanted to use it like this and just scroll through
the news if you wanted to use it for social media things like that i think this could be a real
winner and there's nothing like it nothing would look like this on the market and the third reason
why i think sony should do this is because even though smartphone sales for the xperia division
there have fallen dramatically over the years sony's xperia division is now profitable again
and all of us who own xperia devices and use them on the daily right now and there must
still be many millions of us around the world we don't want to go out and buy a samsung tablet we
want to buy a sony tablet and i think selling you know between 2.5 and 5 million of these for sony
should be relatively easy and profitable therefore so come on sony give us a tablet even if it isn't
on the 26th of october let's have a tablet soon i mean definitely not later than next year
it really does make sense to me at least to have a sony tablet what do you think anyway if it isn't a
sony tablet what could it be well zack bucks our friend over in china the leaker over there he was
telling us that it could be way back in the year he said this an ultra style super premium flagship
smartphone and it could be technically of course i couldn't buy into that idea then and i still don't
now i think the one mark iii is so premium i just can't see there being another flagship at that
kind of level in terms of smartphones i think it's more likely we would see and again this
news is from this year april in fact i think we're going to see a new uh smartwatch or smart
band xperia branded for the first time now why do i say that because the winner division now
wenner this is the winner three it's only on sale in japan i managed to import this
it's sort of half in japanese and i wouldn't recommend buying one of these but do check out
the video i did on it i'm going to do another one a sort of you know long-term review on this
when i was a separate division now it's part of the xperia division or sony mobile division
and that only happened in april this year so we might see something like this now this is a smart
strap as opposed to a smart watch but given that all that expertise is in the winner division there
i think there's a very strong chance we could see if not on october the 26th then probably
next year a new smartwatch from sony we i mean this is the thing with sony isn't it they turn up
they bring all this amazing new tech uh which everyone loves and then they sort of
disappear quietly and move on to something else it's time to get xperia branded smart watches and
even these cool smart straps back into the fold i want to see those let me know what you think in
the comments section below now if it isn't a smart watch or a smart strap what is it going to be
well i think the xperia pro 2 is probably the most likely because the pro as a sort of concept phone
it really did win a lot of people over in terms of the idea and what sony was trying to do
sony does need to improve the features so it works better as a monitor in its own right and i think
we're going to see that hopefully sooner rather than later because if you're going to do the pro
at two in this case this year there's no point in leaving it as long as sony did the first time
around where it comes so late in the cycle that the all-new xperia lineup is unveiled
and announced so it could be a pro two i think that would be very cool i think the pro was a
really really nice idea a great concept it just needs to be improved and hopefully sony can find
a way of working that price down a little bit a lot of alpha camera owners out there would
love to have an xperia phone that doubles up as a monitor for their camera that would be very cool
okay so we've looked at the tablet smartphone and the pro 2. there are some other ideas oh and even
you know perhaps a sort of ultra device maybe although i don't think it will be there could be
another thing here and that is the sort of ace two that we've seen uh launch in japan a super
budget kind of not 219 phone is that a possibility in theory yes but i mean there's no l4 replacement
as far as i know of in the pipeline so that's an idea i don't think that's what we're going to see
but we might what else perhaps a folding phone again i really doubt it but i mean it's possible
right i mean sony has shown in the past that it's able to create beautiful sort of concept-like
devices seemingly out of nowhere let's not forget the vision s for example i mean it's incredible
what this company can do when they really get into it and put their minds to it so yeah maybe we will
see a folding phone i don't think that would make perfect sense right now though but then
you know sony isn't always as dedicated to what makes perfect sense all the time either could be
that sony has in mind for us a gaming phone a sort of gaming focus phone playstation branded perhaps
as well as you know xperia maybe i mean again i'm not really sure we did a video on that um check it
out if you haven't already um i'd love to see it i don't think it's likely i think what's most likely
is xperia pro 2 followed by a tablet followed by a smartwatch maybe then the sort of budget something
like an ace too but for the rest of the world outside of japan let me know what you want to
see let me know what you think we are going to see on the october the 26th and and by the way make
sure you are subbed because uh coming up i will tell you what i think stone is going to give us
in 2022 with this all-new xperia lineup thank you so much for watching by the way i was expecting
to give you this video from bali in indonesia by the beach but i'm actually in holland one
of my favorite countries in europe next time around i don't know where i'll be
maybe even back in my studio with bob the bonsai thank you for watching i'll see you next time
