The Sony Xperia 1 that was announced in February this year is the world’s first smartphone with 21:9 aspect ratio OLED display that produces 4K resolution. A UAProf of a mysterious Sony smartphone dubbed as Xperia 1R with support for 5K resolution has surfaced today. It is speculated that it could be the next premium Sony phone that may debut at the IFA 2019 event in September.

Earlier in this month, UAProf files of two Sony phones with model numbers J8210 and J8010 were spotted. These phones have respective code names of SPHINX and HORUS and they are equipped with 5G modems. Since the Xperia 1 has a model number of J8110, it appears that the J8210 could be the Xperia 2 or an upgraded version of Xperia 1 that may arrive as Xperia 1 Premium or Xperia 1 5G. The J8210 phone only supports full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels with standard aspect ratio of 16:9. The actual screen resolution of the J8210 could be different. The J8010 supports 1644 x 3840 pixels like the Xperia 1.
The Japanese tech company is expected to announce Xperia 2 as well as Xperia 20 and Xperia 20 Pro mid-range phones at IFA 2019. The Xperia 20 has recently received certification from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Leaked information has revealed that the Xperia 20 may come with a 6-inch full HD+ resolution supporting display with 21:9 aspect ratio. The Snapdragon 710 SoC is expected to power the smrtphone with 4 GB / 6 GB of RAM. It may release in 64 GB and 128 GB storage versions.
