Socialife News is a news reader app with over 13 million downloads, aggregating a variety of news as well as Facebook posts, Twitters and YouTube videos into a beautifully designed layout for high-speed viewing. The app allows its users to easily add, through an in-app "Add feeds" function, a host of high-quality content sources offered by affiliated news partners (*2) covering various areas, including general news, entertainment, sports and IT. In addition, users can also register blog posts and RSS news content found on the Internet.

The app also comes with a function for bookmarking favorite Facebook and Twitter posts and news articles. Users of multiple handsets can use any of them to access a cloud-based service for referring to the same news list and bookmarks registered. Moreover, a widget introduced in November 2013 at the request of users can be an exclusive widget showing particular content of choice.

In 2014, Socialife News will have the official content of the FIFA World Cup (TM) for which Sony is an official sponsor. Users can read FIFA official news, photos of players and other information of the FIFA World Cup (TM) through Socialife News. Sony will further enhance its proprietary technology to offer a whole new news-reading experience.
