Renders have emerged of what should become a new compact Sony Xperia phone. Until a few years ago, Sony had the Compact series of smaller phones, but did not release any new models in recent years.
The new phone would also fall into the Compact series, reports OnLeaks. According to the information, the device measures 140×68,9×8,9mm. That is slightly larger than the most recent Compact phone, the XZ2 Compact of 135x65x12.1mm. It is also larger than the iPhone 12 mini, which appeared a few months ago. It measures 134.5×64.2×7.4mm.
The phone is said to have a 5.5 “screen. Sony generally uses 21: 9 screens on its phones. If that is the case with this model, then it is a screen of about 70 square centimeters, with dimensions of 12.8×5.5cm.
At the top of the screen is a notch containing an 8-megapixel camera. Sony only used a notch on cheap phones in recent years; more expensive models have symmetrical bezels, with the same amount of space above and below the screen. On the back is a 13-megapixel camera and an unknown secondary camera. The fingerprint scanner is in the Power button, while a 3.5mm jack can be found on top.
OnLeaks does not mention other specs and therefore it is unknown, for example, which processor can be found in the device. Memory and storage are also unclear. The Compact series that existed from 2013 to 2017 mainly has high-end models, but it is unknown whether this is a more expensive or cheaper model. Sony has not responded.
