Last month we reported on Sony's smartphone, the Xperia Z3, which offers Remote Play functionality with the PS4. Now that phone has a US release date of 23rd October and new name: the Xperia Z3v.
As reported by Techradar based on a Sony press conference earlier today in New York, this newly monikered phone is exclusive to Verizon, where it will cost $199 with a contract.
