Sony SR-64HXA 64 GB microSDXC card insanely priced at $155

Sony has launched a 64 GB microSDXC card (Class 10) “SR-64HXA” with a tagline “for premium sound”, pricing it insanely at 18500 Yen/$155. A few days ago Sony also launched “NW-ZX2” Walkman for $1200 and by seeing the price it seems this micro SD card is made for NW-ZX2 and other Hi-Res audio users.

Sony says SR-64HXA card delivers the best sound quality with minimum noise when it is being read. It is expected to hit Japanese market around 5 March, globally availability is not known yet.

Recently at CES 2015 Sony launched stainless steel edition of SmartWatch 3, Sony NW-ZX2 Walkman and Sony stated the timings of Android 5.0 Lollipop update release.

Sony Mobile Communications AB, Sony Europe Limited and Sony Developer World will be present at MWC 2015 event. Last year we saw flagship Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia M2 coming at MWC 2014 event but what is expected this year, let’s see.

Sony's MWC 2015 conference schedule

It is in rumors that Sony may not be launching its flagship device for year 2016 (H1) at MWC 2015 to maintain its new 1 flagship device per year strategy, but how true this is, it will be revealed at MWC 2015 event only.

Xperia Z4 and Xperia Z4 Ultra have been in rumors, can we expect any of the device at MWC 2015, chances are very less but if not any flagship device, will Sony go with some mid end device; questions arises.
