New Sony Walkman NWZ-E Series [Walkman NWZ-E435, NWZ-E436 & NWZ-E438 Details Revealed]

Thanks to what appears to be an unintentional leak on their New Zealand website by none other than Sony themselves, we now have the first details concerning what appears to be a new entry-level range of Sony Walkmans known as the NWZ-E Series – specifically the Walkman NWZ-E435, NWZ-E436 and NWZ-E438 – which would appear to be set for release sometime in September (our speculation).

The new Sony Walkmans, which measure in from a decidedly slim 8.5mm and weigh from just 50g, sport 2” 262K colour QVGA TFT LCD displays, offer MP3, WMA, AAC, and Linear PCM audio and H.264 / MPEG-4 video file format compatibility, come with integrated FM tuners and will offer storage capacities ranging from 2GB to 8GB.

Further highlights across the range include built-in Bluetooth, drag and drop file transfer – thankfully Sonic Stage is not required – Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) technology paired with Clear Bass Blast post processing and, interestingly, compatibility with iTunes is also mentioned.

Boasting up to 45 hours of music and 9.5 hours of video in ideal conditions (depending on model) at the time of writing you can catch up on the full specifications concerning each of the new Walkman models (as well as unit pricing) via the Sony New Zealand as linked below.
