Sony is no longer a known player in the smartphone space. But the Japanese company continues to release new models every year with limited availability. Earlier this year, the firm launched Xperia 1 II as its flagship mobile device of 2020. Now, it may unveil Xperia 5 II soon as a render of this handset leaks revealing its entre design.
Last year, Sony launched Xperia 5 at IFA 2019. Therefore, its successor was expected to debut at the same event this year. Looks like it will certainly happen as its press render leak, courtesy of @evleaks (Evan Blass).
The render shared by Mr Blass gives us the first-ever glimpse of the upcoming Sony Xperia 5 II (pronounced as “Mark 2”). Just like its predecessor, it will come with a tall display most likely with 21:9 aspect ratio. The best part of this screen is there’s no notch or punch-hole as the selfie camera is loathed in the top bezel.
Interestingly, there are four physical buttons on the right side of this handset. The topmost one is volume rockers, followed by power key with an embedded fingerprint sensor, and two more buttons, which we think might be for Google Assistant and camera shutter respectively.
The rear of the phone looks like a carbon copy of Xperia 1 II except for a vertically triple camera setup with Zeiss T* optics instead of a quad. Further, there’s an NFC sign at the top, a “SONY” branding at the centre, and “XPERIA” logo at the bottom. Interestingly, there’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top.
That said, Evan did not mention the specifications of this smartphone. But going by its predecessor, it should be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 flagship SoC.
