From a recent post to the brand’s X page, it is clear that a new Sony Xperia smartphone is coming. This device will launch in Japan on September 1st, which is just a few days away. The launch event will be live-streamed via Sony’s official YouTube channel for all to watch and engage with.
However, the post giving away these details doesn’t say anything regarding the device. So fans are left in the dark regarding what they should expect from this coming product launch event. But from the images given, it might be safe to expect this product to be a smartphone, as it shows off what seems to be a smartphone rear camera lens.
Due to the lack of details on the said product, many might say that this launch event will bring an already existing product to the global market. However, that isn’t the case, as there’s still one more important device in the brand’s line-up that is still yet to launch. That device is none other than the Xperia 5 series entry for this year.
Sony Xperia smartphone entry, the 5 V, will take on the competition in a few days
Already, netizens have got to see the Xperia 1 V and 10 V smartphones. The first is Sony’s most expensive and feature-packed smartphone, while the latter is the more affordable entry. In terms of pricing and features, the coming Xperia 5 V will sit between the 1 V and the 10 V.
Sometime last month, a promotional video of this device found its way to the internet. A Reddit user was able to get their hands on this video and share it via their page. This video showed off the design of this device with its dual camera setup and Sony finish.
The design concept and color choice of the video also match that of the image Sony shared via their X page. For specifications, there is little known about the coming device, but it will be a flagship device. From its Geekbench listing, it is clear that this device will launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
It’d also launch, packing 16GB worth of RAM capacity that might be paired up with up to 1TB storage. Another leak concerning this device also claims that it’d support 33W fast charging. This charging speed might charge up a 5000mAh battery capacity which it might carry over from its predecessor.
Following typical Sony fashion, this might be a very compact device with a sub-6.5-inch screen size. In comparison with its predecessor, this device will improve upon its performance and storage. Other details on its specifications will be made available as the coming Sony Xperia smartphone launch date approaches.
