Sony isn’t known for releasing phones on a spree and with launches like the Xperia 10 III Lite, Xperia 1 III, Xperia 5 III, and Xperia 10 III, it was thought that the company is done and dusted with their offerings for 2021. However, the Japanese company has now surprised us all with their latest announcement.

Sony took to Twitter today to declare a new “Xperia Product Announcement” to be held on October 26. No other information was provided apart from this. However, considering the fact that Xperia is the brand name of smartphones and tablets from Sony, it is safe to assume that the product to be launched will indeed be a tablet or phone.

Another peculiarity is the image used by Sony for its announcement. It can be said that it is a rather cryptic portrayal of light falling on a camera lens, although it could just be us overthinking things and it’s nothing but art.

If it indeed is a phone, then it could be from a brand new series. But of course, there’s no evidence pointing towards the product being a smartphone in the first place.

Sony will perhaps be kind enough to satisfy our curiosity with more of such teasers ahead of the launch. If not, then all we can do is wait for the said October 26 launch date.

Regardless, the launch will be streamed via YouTube through its @sonyxperia channel on October 26, 2021, 12:00 JST or October 25, 2021, 23:00 EDT, so stay tuned. Until then, let us know what you think the Sony Xperia product announcement will have in store in the comments below.
