Xperia Lounge to close by end of August 2019

-

Sony Mobile has confirmed that the Xperia Lounge app will be decommissioned by the end of August 2019. This makes it another in a long line of Sony's mobile apps that the company will be looking to close. Xperia Lounge was Sony's way of rewarding its users by offering competitions, news and exclusive Xperia Themes and wallpapers back in its heyday.

Sony originally had Gold and Silver members of the app, depending on whether you bought the latest flagship or mid-ranger, but it reined back on this tiering last October. Will you be sad to see Xperia Lounge go? Let us know in the comments below.

Thanks Caleb, Miguel, NinjaCyborg, Thusitha and Yuri!
