Sony is holding their MWC 2018 event today, with the Japanese electronics giant expected to launch the Xperia XZ2 – their highly anticipated new flagship smartphone.
Sony are also rumoured to be launching an Xperia XZ2 Compact this morning, with speculation also rife that the firm is working on an Xperia XZ1 Premium (aka the XZ Pro).
Ahead of the big Sony event in Barcelona, reliable tech tipster Evan Blass published alleged leaked pictures of the Xperia XZ2 and specs.
The upcoming flagship will allegedly have a full screen design, sporting a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 LCD screen that boasts an 18:9 aspect ratio.
Blass claimed the XZ2 will have a 5.7inch screen, while the XZ2 Compact will boast a 5.0inch screen and largely have the same features.
The tech tipster said both the XZ2 and XZ2 Compact will be Android Oreo powered and have Qualcomm’s top of the range chip for 2018.
The XZ2 will also allegedly sport 3D glass on both faces of its aluminium frame and have a 19-megapixel rear camera.
Both the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact are rumoured to come in four different colours – black, silver, green, and pink.
All will be revealed for certain soon though during Sony’s big MWC 2018 conference, which will be broadcast online.
