“The DoD uses approximately 30 terawatt-hours of electricity per year and more than 10 million gallons of fuel per day,” the project announcement notes. That’s not much compared to commercial reactors that produce 1 gigawatt (1,000 megawatts), but the goal is to sustain a forward operating base or a battalion of electric combat vehicles-not power an entire city-and potential savings would be considerable across the U.S. Pele would generate 1–5 megawatts of electrical power.

The 6.5-inch 4K OLED display offers 120Hz refresh rates and 240Hz touch sampling, with Sony having gaming ambitions for this phone, while continuing to offer a 3.5mm headphone socket for your audio - on top of tech like LDAC and 360 Reality Audio to make everything sound great. There's now a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 sitting at the core of this phone, with a 60 per cent larger heat diffuser sheet, powered by a 5000mAh battery, with 30W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. In addition to the new main camera, there is a 12-megapixel ultrawide and 12-megapixel zoom and that's the clever lens offering variable zoom lengths - as found the Xperia 1 IV.

Sony favours a natural camera setup, offering plenty of pro functions to reflect the Sony Alpha camera experience, although that might be changing, with the Sony Xperia 1 V claiming that AI is playing a bigger role in its camera than before. That's important, because the camera experience isn't just about the hardware - it's about what you do with it. Sony, sadly, doesn't declare the model numbers of the sensors that it uses, so it might be some time before we discover exactly which sensor it is and whether anyone else is going to get to use it.
