Sony CES Teaser Video: Hints About a Thin Device and Lollipop

By Android in Canada Editorial TeamUpdated

What the video seemed to hint at

  • A very thin device: shown at the start, it looked like a tablet, though it could have been a new smartphone.
  • The number 5: it appeared often and was thought to point to the date of the CES event, January 5.
  • Crisp, vibrant images: the author took this as a sign of a new screen technology and guessed at a device with a QHD display.
  • A lollipop: the clearest clue, tied to Android Lollipop.

A day earlier, it had been reported that Sony planned to begin its Lollipop rollout early in the new year. The CES event might therefore have served as the launch point for its updated software.
