Last month, some leaks surfaced online hinting at an upcoming compact smartphone from Sony. As we already know, Sony has a line of compact smartphones called the Sony Xperia Ace lineup. So, this upcoming device is expected to be the latest addition in the series, dubbed the Sony Xperia Ace IV. The leak suggested that this device will also be made available out of Japan with a different name.
Now, some details about the upcoming compact Sony smartphone have been revealed. According to a new report via SumahoDigest, the smartphone will feature a 5.5-inch OLED display with 2520 x 1080 (FHD+) resolution and a 21:9 aspect ratio. If this rumor turns out to be accurate, then this will be a major upgrade over the Ace III which features an HD+ LCD panel.
The smartphone is rumored to feature the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset, which is the successor of the Snapdragon 480 featured in the Ace III. The new chipset will provide a 15% bump in CPU performance and a 10% increment in GPU performance.
In addition to that, the smartphone is said to feature a starting configuration of 6GB + 128GB. As for the battery, we can expect a 4,500mAh unit, which is quite respectable for the smaller form factor. The battery is also said to support 18W fast charging. The device is not expected to break cover anytime soon as rumors suggest a 2023 launch window.
The brand is yet to reveal anything regarding this smartphone, so we suggest our readers take these leaks with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more.
