Sony is all set to release - or at least announce - a new Xperia smartphone at CES 2015 in Las Vegas.

Here's our editors' picks of the best top 10 Android smartphones of 2014. The devices listed here have been ranked based on their price, features, hardware specs and design.
Sometimes, the simplest of creations are the most beautiful ones, and it is no surprise that consumer trend towards minimalistic designs is increasing, especially where wearable electronics are concerned. Enter - FES Watch, which is built entirely out of e-paper apart from its frame of course. The Fashion Entertainments startup (FES) is a sub division of Sony, which makes this product even more intriguing.
Sony has just débuted a new image sensor for mobile devices that incorporates a "stacked" design, which offers a more compact form factor while still improving dramatically on overall performance. Given that Apple tends to subscribe to this ethos of scaling everything down with each new hardware release, allied to the fact that Sony is a manufacturing partner of the Cupertino's, and it's reasonable to speculate that the next-gen iPhone (and iPad) devices could reap the benefits of the 21-megapixel Exmor RS IMX230.
The world of wearables is currently amid something of a boom, and with Google Glass having recently arrived at the Play Store, head-mounted gadgets continue to arouse interest. Several other big-name vendors in the tech game have also sought to get in on the act, and among them, Japanese outfit Sony has been working on some eyewear of its own. The SmartEyeglass, as it is named, will be heading to market in March of 2015, and today, the PlayStation maker has released the SDK.
Tech and fashion are always combining, and you only have to look at the recent introduction of the Apple Watch, notably the Watch Edition series, for evidence of this union. But while the market for wearables will undoubtedly force vendors to collaborate with fashion houses, the new custom PS4 Nike Air Jordans are something quite remarkable.
As well as unleashing the Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact alongside an intriguing assortment of QX camera attachments, Sony also took the wraps off a couple of new smartwatches earlier on today at IFA in Berlin. The SmartBand Talk will rival the likes of the Samsung Gear Fit in the battle of the fitness-focused wearables, while the SmartWatch 3 will be the PlayStation maker's very first release to run Google's Android Wear.
It's widely accepted that while Sony's unveiling of the QX lens camera attachments for smartphones last year was a novel idea, the execution was far from ideal. Poor, sluggish functionality were the general quibbles with what might have been a game-changer, but to its credit, the company is back with a couple of new ideas and new products that encompass said ideas.
