Sometimes when you see a phone in the store you just have to know more. As I was walking around Best Buy this weekend, I have to say I was wowed by the new Sony Xperia 1 cell phone. As I walked by it, its sleek design drew me in but after talking to some of the knowledgeable Best Buy Associates and trying it out myself, I have to say that my first glance impression was correct, and this phone definitely is one that I would check out for yourself. Why? Let me tell you!

This phone is FAST, it is running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. For those of you that are not techy, that means that it has a octa-core processor and 6GB of RAM that will deliver outstanding overall performance for opening and running applications, flipping through menus and more.

The Sony Xperia 1 also is running the Android 9.0 Pie OS which adapts to you and how you want to use your phone. This is like having your own AI system which is learning your preferences as you go. This is not a static thing as the learning that happens makes your experience get better over time, and it keeps things running smoother and longer.

This phone is compatible with GSM carriers, including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. It also works with GSM SIM kits, including Cricket Wireless, Tracfone, Net10, H2O, AT&T Prepaid, and Simple Mobile.*

This phone is also running with 4G LTE speed that give you fast web connection for downloading apps, streaming content, and staying connected on social media.

The phone is huge! It has a 6.5″ 4K HDR OLED touch screen with 3840 x 1644 resolution which is an extra-large screen that is matched with a slim body to comfortably fit in your hand. The 21:9 extended display ensures easier multitasking and immersive viewing. Gorilla Glass 6 resists shocks and scratches.

This large screen is also matched with a 12.0MP triple-lens camera system which offers 21:9 cinema ratio, 4K HDR movie recording, and 2x optical zoom to capture details without losing quality. Also includes an 8.0MP front-facing camera for self-portraits and videos. Along with this you get a Motion  that lets you capture slow-motion videos at up to 960 frames per second for staggering films as well as the BIONZ X image processing engine which offers you powerful digital image processing produces even more vivid colors and ensure contrasts are high.

As someone that loves to take pictures, all of this is amazing but the Optical SteadyShot image stabilization rocks as it is always a challenge when you think you get the best image and it is blurry and this technology keeps your images free from motion blur with SteadyShot image stabilization.

The phone also gives you plenty of space for memory with a 128GB internal memory plus microSD slot and you can even expand the  storage by up to 512GB by adding a microSD card.

There is even more than this. The Best Buy Associate told me about the superior sound in this phone too. He told me that is using DSEE HX™ which improves the quality of low-resolution music files. The smart amplifier delivers a loud, rich sound through the speaker.

It also offers superior security such as allowing your fingerprint keeps your phone secure along with other safety features that keep you feeling safe.

The Sony Xperia 1 cell phone is definitely a phone I would recommend to all! If you have never seen this before and you are in the market for a phone, check this out today!

True Noise Canceling Experience With New Sony Wireless Headphones

October 24, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Over the past week or so my daughter and I tried out the new Sony Wireless Noise Canceling Extra Bass Headphones and Sony True Wireless In-Ear Noise Canceling Headphones. Both of us LOVE music, but we also love the ability to take our music, podcasts and more with us while we are on the go.
Below you will see a video of my daughter trying out the Sony Wireless Noise Canceling Extra Bass Headphones, and as you will see in her video, these headphones are amazing. One of the things that amazed me with both of these headphones was the fact that both have some features that really stood out from others that I have tried in the past.
Active noise cancellation
Effectively blocks out distracting background noises, so you can enjoy a focused, immersive sound environment. I tried both of these on a recent flight and they really did offer incredible noise canceling. They cut out all of the external noise that was around me. As you know, airplanes can be loud, especially if you are sitting in the back of the plane (as I was), and these did the trick to allow me to simply get in my music zen place for the duration of the cross country flight. I truly appreciated the true noise canceling experience, as it made the flight much more enjoyable!
Rechargeable battery
Offers up to 30 hours of use and lasts up to 300 hours on standby mode. As mentioned, I took a cross country flight which was about a 5 hour flight. By the end of the flight the devices were still showing close to full charge which was completely amazing!
Headset touch controls
Include volume, play/pause, next song, going back, tap and hold to activate VA, Quick Attention. When you use these with Bluetooth you have a ton of capabilities, but even if you plug them in the power at the touch of your fingers is remarkable!
Built-in microphone
Enables simple hands-free chatting via a phone. I took a call while in the airport and I found that the person on the other end of the link heard me loud and clear without any issue.
Bluetooth 4.2 interface with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology
Enables simple wireless pairing with your Bluetooth-enabled device. Supports HFP, HSP, A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profiles. I have a newer phone and my daughter has a bit older model and between both of us we have both Android and IOS and neither of us had any issues with pairing these to our devices.
40mm drivers / Stereo design
Deliver powerful sound and crisp tones. The sound you get from these was truly remarkable. It is clear and definitely offers you full control for the sound experience that you want!
Sony continues its incredible lineup of noise canceling headphones with these two new models.

Movie Review – Alpha

November 12, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Alpha

Alpha is an epic coming-of-age adventure set in the last Ice Age. A young boy becomes unlikely allies with a lone wolf, enduring countless dangers and overwhelming odds to survive the harsh wilderness and find their way home before the deadly winter arrives.

I did not see this movie in the theater but I could tell that it would be a movie that I would enjoy and thanks to the great folks at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, I was able to see the movie and judge for myself whether I liked it or not.

Before I give you my review of Alpha, I also have to talk about the gift pack that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment sent to me. Below is a video that I created on Facebook talking about the gift pack.

We loved being able to adopt a wolf with this campaign. We were even able to see her on YouTube based on her Lazy Howl!

My take on the Movie

This movie was great. It is filled with action and adventure. I was not expecting the subtitles in the movie, but once I got used to them I have to say that I appreciated that they stayed true to the fact that English was not spoken in this time and era. The movie is definitely a story that shows the strength of characters and what they had to do to survive. The movie was beautifully made and beyond the acting, the cinematography itself was just breathtaking. Even with only few words the movie tears at your heartstrings and you have to watch and see how the movie ends as it is worth the watch!

Alpha

Get Ready For A Great Listening Experience With The New Sony Noise Canceling Headphones

September 20, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Sony WH-1000XM3 Headphones

When it comes to listening to Music, podcasts or really anything I want to have great headphones that I can use anywhere. The problem for me in the past has always been having headphones that are not noise canceling and having to crank up the music volume because I could not hear things well.

I went looking for some new headphones recently and while I was at my local Best Buy I was able to check out the new Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Canceling Headphones. These headphones were amazing and offer industry-leading noise canceling technology. You see, Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 brings the WH-1000XM3 to the pinnacle of noise cancellation!

As I tried out these headphones I found that they truly offered premium sound. In researching these I found that they have 40mm drivers with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragms which really make a huge difference in the quality of sound that you get in your listening experience. The headphones are also Hi-Res Audio compatible and they can reproduce a full range of frequencies.

I loved that the headphones held a charge for quite some time. You can listen for up to 30 hours without having to charge. Even better though is that if you do need to charge up, the headphones have quick charging capability which will give you five hours of playback with just 10 minutes of charge time (talk about fast!).

Sony WH-1000XM3 Headphones

Finally, I would be remiss to not mention that beyond just noise canceling capability on these headphones, you also have the ability to use the Smart Listening feature. With Smart Listening by Adaptive Sound Control you will be able to automatically detect your activity and the technology will balances noise canceling levels accordingly.

The new Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Canceling Headphones are amazing and really make a huge difference in the listening experience for any listener!
