A new report says Sony may launch new phones in its home country of Japan next month. At the moment, the name of the phones aren’t confirmed but there are speculations they will arrive as the Xperia 1s/Xperia S and Xperia 1v/Xperia V.

The source is ZACKBUKS, a Japanese leaker; and the news was first reported by Japanese blog – Sumahoinfo. According to ZACKBUKS, Sony has a launch on July 9 in Tokyo. The post also says “S and V” leading to the guesses about their names.

Sony has been reported to be working on a flagship phone exclusive to Japan. This phone will have an LCD panel and not an OLED panel like the Xperia 1 but will be powered by the same Snapdragon 855 processor. It is unclear if any of these upcoming devices is the LCD flagship phone.

In other news, an image of an unknown Sony phone with triple rear cameras have also surfaced. Unlike the Xperia 1, the triple rear cameras are on the left side of the phone and not the middle Above the sensors are the LED flash and laser focus module.

There is no fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone and we can’t tell if there is one on the sides. The Sony phone has a purple finish, is covered in glass and appears to be a bit thick. There are also antenna lines on the sides.

The identity of the phone is still unknown but we hope more details will surface in the coming days or weeks.
