Sony Xperia XZ1, Xperia XZ Premium 3D Creator App Updated With Direct to Facebook Feature

Sony Mobiles on Thursday announced the rollout of an update for its 3D Creator app on its smartphones including the Xperia XZ1 and Xperia XZ Premium. In accordance with the update, users of these two phones will be able to upload their 3D scans on to their Facebook accounts using the 3D creator app. The update comes in the wake of Facebook introducing 3D posts and industry-standard "gITF 2.0" file format" that will enable creators to upload high quality 3D content on the social platform.

According to Sony, viewers of the 3D posts will be able to rotate, pinch, zoom in, and spin the images as per their preference. Sony's 3D creation app also allows users to convert people and objects into 3D avatars.

"3D creation is no longer just for professionals - 3D Creator by Sony has made it accessible to everyone and enabled 3D scanning in a matter of seconds and sharing in an instant. For existing XZ1, and XZ Premium users who have 3D Creator, the application can be updated through Google Play," said Sony Mobiles in a press statement.

Buy a Verizon iPhone X or iPhone 8, get a second iPhone for free (no trade in required)

In January, Verizon Wireless allowed its customers to buy an iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus, and save $699.99 on a second iPhone. However, that promotion required you to trade in an old handset. As of this week, Verizon is back with a similar, yet improved deal aimed at all iPhone fans across the US. 

For a limited time, when you buy an iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, or iPhone 8 on a Verizon Unlimited plan, you're getting $699.99 credit towards a second iPhone (reflected in reduced monthly payments), and you don't have to trade in any device. However, you will need to add at least one new line of service. 

Thanks to this fresh deal, after buying your first iPhone, you can get a second iPhone 8 64 GB for absolutely free ($0 per month). Here's what you'd have to pay for other iPhone models over 24 months:

iPhone 8 256 GB - $6.25 per month

iPhone 8 Plus 64 GB - $4.16 per month

iPhone 8 Plus 256 GB - $10.41 per month

iPhone X 64 GB - $12.50 per month

iPhone X 256 GB - $18.75 per month
