Sony will launch a new Xperia phone on April 14.
The announcement, spotted by netizen, appears to have been made only through a banner on Sony Xperia’s YouTube channel, which sounds like either Sony did this in error, or the company’s not particularly interested in hyping up the upcoming device.
There’s no details on what, exactly, is coming on April 14, but we can make a guess. Rumors say the company is working on a new flagship called the Xperia 1 III, with formidable specs that include a 6.5-inch, 4K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 5000mAh battery with fast, 65W charging.
Sony has been putting the focus on the camera capabilities of its phone, and the Xperia 1 III will reportedly be no different, with a quad main camera, possibly with periscope zoom capabilities.
Regarding the design of the new phone, we could expect a typical Sony longphone, with a 21:9 display, just like the one on last year’s Xperia 1 II.
Leakers say Sony might launch two more smartphones on April 14, including the Xperia 10 III and the Xperia 5 III.
The conference will likely be broadcasted online via Sony Xperia’s YouTube channel.
