The Sony Xperia 1 III launched last week and so the crew spend this episode reminiscing about some of the best Sony phones of all time, discussing why Sony can’t seem to make an impact on the modern smartphone market and argue Sony vs Motorola. Also Nintendo had a surprise announcement this week with the Switch OLED coming to store this October… but it’s not exactly what we were expecting.
