Sony is back in the news again and for all the right reasons. Yesterday, it announced the Android 10 update schedule for Xperia phones and today, an alleged roadmap for Sony’s 2020 launches has leaked online. The leak suggests that Sony will launch 4 new flagship phones, along with 3 mid-range phones next year to keep its portfolio fresh and trendy.
Now, let’s get into the nitty gritties of each of these upcoming devices. Sony Xperia 1, which was the company’s flagship last year, has apparently been taking nomenclature cues from HMD Global. It’s not the best idea as Sony’s 2020 flagship is expected to be called the Sony Xperia 1.1. It will feature the same 21:9 4K panel on the front, but an upgraded quad-camera setup on the rear.
As for the upcoming mid-range portfolio, the leak suggests Xperia 10 and 10 Plus will most likely receive a 2020 refresh. The common denominator here will again be 5G network support, taller 21:9 display, and an unlikeable naming scheme. We suggest you take this leak with a grain of salt until something more concrete comes our way.
