The Sony Xperia Hello sports a 4.6-inch LCD panel with multi-touch support and an upper body camera. The robot can rotate up to 340 degrees to greet anyone who speaks to it. It is being touted by Sony to be ‘like a family member’. It is powered by Xperia Agent (rebranded to Sony Agent).

The combination of four motion sensors and seven microphones helps to detect objects within a three-meter radius. Sony claims that the lights at the top of Hello’s body function as eyes and express various feelings (such as loneliness, happiness, sadness, and excitement). The device even acts as a security camera. You can use commands like ‘show me what my family is up to’, or ‘show me what you see’.

The new bot comes with support for Skype and LINE to make voice and video calls. Just like other smart devices, the Sony Xperia Hello bot also provides live alerts about news, traffic, weather forecasts, and messages. You can personalize the news categories for each of your family members. It can even notify you of any accidents or traffic delays along your route.

Conclusion

The Sony Xperia Hello Communication Robot is an interesting addition to the existing smart speakers like Amazon Echo, Apple HomePod, and Google Home. One big advantage it has over the competition is its ability to dance. The new device jumps into with simple command – ‘do a dance.’ We will have to wait a while for a global release though.
