Sony Xperia NXT hands-on photos: A side-by-side look at Sony’s new phone lineup

Earlier this week, we posted impressions of the newly unveiled Sony Xperia P (learn about its WhiteMagic screen here) and Sony Xperia U, but we couldn’t grab any pictures of the new lineup as a whole. Sony is calling these devices its ‘NXT’ (pronounced Next) series. Above are some shots of the two devices, along with the larger Xperia S, which was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show last month. The phones each come in different colors and all feature an aluminum shell and that funny looking strip of clear plastic. 

For kicks, I’ve included a couple pictures of Sony’s Xperia media dock. It’s compatible with the Xperia S, I believe.

The best Google Pixel 8a screen protectors in 2024
A photo of someone holding the Google Pixel 8a.

The Google Pixel 8a is Google's latest smartphone, and while it's not a match for Google's flagship phones, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, it's not meant to be. The Pixel 8a is a midrange powerhouse, with the Tensor G3 processor, a showstopping camera, and the advanced smarts of Google's Gemini Nano AI model.

But none of that is worth squat if you can't see it. The display is a vital part of any smartphone, and the Pixel 8a's 6.1-inch OLED panel is a beauty. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, and a much higher brightness to boot, making it the equal of some of the best phones you can grab in the midrange market. But all that tech should be protected. Here are the best Google Pixel 8a screen protectors to keep your phone's screen safe from scratches, dirt, and smears.

Apple made an outrageous change to its new iPads
An official photo of the 2024 iPad Air.

After a year-long drought of iPads, Apple finally revealed the new iPad Air and iPad Pro models during its Let Loose event on May 7. This was a unique announcement because it broke some old traditions; the iPad Air now comes in two sizes: an 11-inch and 13-inch, just like the iPad Pro. But these new iPads are also breaking another longtime tradition: They won’t come with iconic Apple stickers. Gasp.

According to 9to5Mac, Apple Store teams received a memo where Apple explained that the iconic Apple stickers won’t be included inside the boxes of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro. The reasoning? As part of Apple’s environmental goals, it is trying to ensure that its packaging is completely free of plastic.
