Pet of the future: Sony’s robot dog Aibo is back!
Last month, it was announced that the famous 90s digital pet, Tamagotchi, will be back in the market for their 20th anniversary.
Sony has followed suit by launching even bigger and better pet technology. The brand’s new release, the Aibo ERS-100, is an “autonomous entertainment robot” — the cutest thing you’ll see today.
Meet Aibo
Yes, the little pupper is a robotic dog!
Isn’t he adorable? Look at those googly eyes — they’re actually OLED screens. That cute little nose? A camera. Aibo can “see” things with these senses and react to things around him. He also has voice-recognition capabilities so that means he knows your voice! He can even detect where sound is coming from and react to it.
He’s the most amazing thing ever!
He looks like a typical doggie but isn’t much of a floof (that means he has no fur and is hypoallergenic). He runs, moves, and plays around like any four-legged friend! This little doggo also responds to touch. Yes, he’ll love it when you pet him or scratch him behind the ear.
He does all that a doggo does
No two Aibos are the same. The doggo that each Aibo will grow up to be depends on each pupper’s upbringing and experiences. He reacts to his environment and this will shape his personality. All Aibo’s experiences are learned with artificial intelligence and updated in a cloud.
You can play with him, teach him tricks (or buy new ones from the Aibo store), or even introduce him to people in your life — the possibilities are endless!
Who’s a good dog?

It can do more than a normal doggie can: Aibo also records everything he experiences, all of which are uploaded to the cloud. These are memories you can actually browse through with the app.
The best part? There will never be accidents with this high-tech pupperoo.
Boop, baby doggo!
Best of all, he’s such a cutie pie!
Aibo is short for “Artificial Intelligence Robot.” According to their website, the word also means “friend” in Japanese. Sony’s Aibo project was launched in 1999, putting on sale a number of robot dog versions which were widely popular in Japan. As part of a restructuring effort, Aibo was shelved in 2006… until now. (YAY!)
This adorable baby does not come cheap, though. He will set you back JPY 198,000 (US$ 1,735), and as of writing, they have only been launched in Japan. They’re available for pre-order starting this month.

ITZY’s YUNA is Infinix’s first ever global brand ambassador
Infinix is in with YUNA in the scene
Infinix is entering a new era — and the brand is bringing one of K-Pop’s most sought-after stars along the ride.
A first for Infinix
In line with the launch of the latest NOTE 60 series, Infinix has also named YUNA of ITZY as its very first Global Brand Ambassador. The company calls this a bold step forward for both innovation and style.
For the record, this is the first time Infinix has tapped a global ambassador — and the choice makes sense. YUNA is known for her confidence, vibrant energy, and unapologetic self-expression. These qualities align closely with Infinix’s “Joy Tech, Beyond Limits” philosophy.
In a statement, YUNA shared her excitement about the partnership. She said she’s looking forward to connecting with fans in a new way and creating meaningful stories together with the brand.
For Infinix, this collaboration is more than just a celebrity endorsement. It signals a shift in how the company wants to position itself globally — not just as a smartphone maker, but as a lifestyle tech brand for expressive, tech-savvy youth.
The more, the merrier
The partnership goes along the debut of the NOTE 60 Series, further fueling Infinix’s move toward a more premium smartphone experience.
Like YUNA, the NOTE 60 line also brings notable names in the table:
- Powered by Snapdragon from Qualcomm
- Design collaboration with Pininfarina
- Audio tuned with JBL
It’s a clear attempt that Infinix wanted to elevate both performance and design by blending in flagship-level specs, more refined aesthetics, and immersive sound altogether.
Infinix says this launch also marks its expansion into more premium international markets.
With YUNA as the face of the brand, the company hopes to strengthen its appeal among younger users who want both powerful hardware and a device that matches their personality.
Rather than focusing purely on specs, Infinix is leaning into storytelling — highlighting how technology can spark creativity, joy, and individuality.
With the NOTE 60 Series and YUNA front and center, Infinix appears ready to redefine its brand identity on a global scale.
