There is no data to show how Sony‘s recent Xperia 1 flagship performed in terms of sales but the fact that the company is planning to release a second model just months after the first model may be an indication that the sales were promising. The Japanese tech giant is expected to unveil the Xperia 2 at the IFA 2019 trade show in Berlin this week. Ahead of that, the live pictures and official renders of the Xperia 2 has now been released. 
The press renders were leaked by German website WinFuture.de and it shows the flagship-level smartphone from all angles. The smartphone is seen in a Red colour variant. The live pictures of the device also appeared online. The images and renders show the same design which we believe is the final Xperia 2 design.
A triple rear camera setup is seen at the rear which is rumoured to be three 12MP sensors – all manufactured by Sony. The device also comes with an ultra-wide-angle lens and 2x optical zoom. The leaked renders also show a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a dedicated camera button, a USB Type-C port, thick bezels on the top and bottom, and a bottom-firing speaker.
The leak claims the upcoming Xperia model may not be called Xperia 2 but could adopt the name Xperia 1 Compact. The device is expected to pack a smaller 6.1-inch AMOLED display with a full-HD+ resolution of 1080×2520 pixels and the same 21:9 super-tall aspect ratio of the original Sony Xperia 1. The device is tipped to pack a Snapdragon 855 chipset with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of inbuilt storage. The device also comes with HDR display support.
