Sony’s air conditioner “REON POCKET 4” photo review that cools the skin directly with cold metal – GIGAZINE

--


Many people are worried that the air conditioner at work is weak and can’t stand the summer heat, but air-conditioned clothes are too conspicuous. Appeared in April 2023 from Sony “REON POCKET 4” is a device that can be called a “wearable air conditioner” that cools the body by lowering the temperature of the metal plate mounted on the back of the main unit, and can keep the body cool inconspicuously. Since I was able to borrow such a REON POCKET 4, I thoroughly checked its appearance and comfort.
