The sweltering heat of Delhi is here and people are keeping cool. Sony has a new gadget that can help you stay cool even when you’re out in the heat.

Sony has launched similar devices before but it claims that the Rheon Pocket 5 is more powerful than its previous versions.

Sony Reno Pocket 5 Portable AC: How It Works
Sony says the Reno Pocket 5 is a portable AC that fits on the back of your shirt or T-shirt with its clip-like design. Not only does the gadget keep you cool in summer, it can also provide comfort when you’re out and about in winter, making it an all-weather portable device.

The Reon Pocket 5 includes five cooling layers and similarly you have 4 layers to control the heat. You can pair the Reon Pocket 5 with its compatible app on an Android or iOS device. You can connect the device to your phone via Bluetooth and control the cooling/heating level based on the temperature around you. It can run up to 7 hours in all cooling levels. Additionally, Sony offers an auto-start feature that activates the AC when you put on a shirt and turns off when you take it off which many will appreciate. The Reon Pocket 5 is not the first product from Sony to offer these features.

In fact, the first Reon product came out in 2019 and this is basically the fifth-gen model that packs improved features and more technology into a pocket-friendly gadget. Sony hasn’t talked about the markets where it will be available and for how much but it is unlikely to launch in India like previous versions.
