The device is priced at approximately ¥13,000 (roughly Rs 9,000) and is currently available in Japan, with plans to expand to other markets. It represents a step forward in personal climate control technology, offering a unique solution for staying comfortable on the go.

The Sony Reon Pocket 5 is currently available in Japan and similar iterations are available in Hong Kong. It has also been made available outside of Asia, starting with the UK market. Additionally, it will be available in Singapore from May 2024, and plans are in place to expand to Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam at a later date.

As for availability in India, there is no specific information provided in the search results.
