Sony registered a new fixed camera the WW 151602 which is most likely an RX camera due to the Sony NP-BJ1 inside.
Nokishita update:
It was rumored that Sony will announce one model of the RX 0 series and at least another mirror type in the first half of 2019, so this time it was registered as a new model of the RX 0 series.

The Sony a6400 looks like it has very good AF, but even without a firmware update, the Sony a9 does better in my opinion. There are some videos showing off Sony’s new AF system on the a9, but I wonder how fast the Sony a9II will be. We now know that the Sony a9 sensor far surpasses the current a9’s capabilities and the a9’s full potential probably won’t be unlocked until the follow-up Sony a9II, but it is great that Sony is providing a very Fujifilm like firmware update that is providing a lot of extra functionality. Many have wanted to see Sony release updates like this and they finally have, so let us hope they continue updating cameras like this far into the future because it will keep them competitive with Canon/Nikon entering the mirrorless market.

Sony isn’t known for their weather sealing, but Tony and Chelsey put Sony to the test against the new Olympus OM-D E-M1X and the a7III came away from the testing unscathed. Tony’s extreme brutal testing involved repeatedly spraying the cameras with water in freezing conditions and allowing it to sit for around 20 minutes, after that time he would test the cameras to see if they were still working. Surprisingly the Olympus had trouble with its shutter button getting stuck, while the Sony continued to operate perfectly.

Sony held back some of the IMX310 sensor’s power inside of the Sony a9 because the chip is capable of 16-Bit, Global Reset Shutter, and on-chip dual gain HDR 96dB dynamic range. It’s unlikely that Sony will release these features in a future firmware update because they might require additional processing power, but there is a good chance they will use this chip in a future Sony a9II soon enough.
