Summary
Sony is set to release a new Blu-ray player, its first since 2018, in some regions from April or May this year.
The device will not include certain apps and features such as Video & TV SideView, networking features, video streaming apps and Spotify Connect support, and will be priced at a 25% premium on the previous model, the UBP-X700.
While many consumers have moved towards streaming, some see physical 4K Blu-ray discs as offering advantages over digital, including higher quality video, and Sony’s continued production of Blu-ray players suggests there is a market for such hardware, particularly among videophiles.
