Despite the old-style design of the recently launched iPhone SE 2022, it is still expected to sell like hot cakes in some markets. Looking at the Android phone market, there aren’t many small-sized Android devices to compete with it. Now, Sony appears to be changing this, as a new device with an iPhone SE-like compact design has appeared in new renders. The device is called the Sony Xperia ACE 3, and it is tiny and thick.

The Sony Xperia ACE 3 renders come from OnLeaks (via Zollege). The renders show the compact dew-drop notch display of the device. The smartphone has a 5.5-inch panel and, even though it has a modern design, boasts noticeable bezels. At the bottom, it has a thick chin, similar to the predecessor ACE models. The device has the following measurements: – 139.7 x 68.9 x 9.1mm.

Moving to the back, the smartphone has a clean design with only a small camera island at the top left and the Sony branding at the center. Speaking of the camera island, it houses a 13MP shooter and an LED flash. On the left side, it has a SIM tray, and on the right, it boasts the power button, the volume rocker. Here, the power button doubles up as a side-mounted fingerprint reader. At the top and bottom, it has the 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, a speaker grille, and a microphone.

The rest of the specs include the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G SoC paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB, 256GB of internal storage. It will come with a 4,500mAh non-removable battery.

Apart from the specs, the publication also reveals the alleged pricing of the smartphone. The Sony Xperia ACE 3 is said to cost Rs. 24,999 ($327), which seems a little unlikely, given that the ACE series usually only lands in Japan. Regarding the launch, the phone is expected to arrive sometime in June this year.
