It was recently revealed that the Sony Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus are the new names of the rumored Xperia XA3 and Xperia XA3 Plus phones that are expected to go official at MWC 2019. Since then the rumor mill is speculating that the Xperia XZ4 flagship phone may also go official with a different moniker. It is expected to arrive as the company’s first smartphone with triple rear cameras. Few hours ago, popular leakster Evan Blass shared a render of the purple colored Sony Xperia 1 smartphone with three rear-mounted cameras. Hence, it appears that the Xperia XZ4 will be hitting the market with a new name of Xperia 1.

The new image reveals that the purple colored Xperia 1 will be equipped with a tall aspect ratio. Previous reports have revealed that it will be equipped with a 21:9 aspect ratio screen. The exact size of the display could be 6.5 inches. There is no rear-mounted fingerprint scanner on the device. This indicates that the upcoming Sony flagship phone will have a side-mounted fingerprint reader. The buttons placed above it could be for controlling volume whereas the key positioned below it could be the power button. There is another button present towards the bottom of the right edge. This could be a dedicated key for launching camera.

Sony will be holding its press event at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 tech exhibition in Barcelona, Spain to announce its new smartphones including the Xperia XZ4 flagship phone. Recent rumors have revealed that the Xperia XZ4 will be equipped with a very tall aspect ratio display of 21:9. Lets Go Digital has come across Sony’s new “CinemaWide” name trademark. It suggests that the Japanese firm may call the 21:9 aspect ratio screen of the Xperia XZ4 as CinemaWide display.

On Feb. 4, Sony filed a trademark for “CinemaWide” moniker with European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). It has been classified as Class 9 which has been described as “smartphones, tablets, displays, application software for smartphones, image processing apparatus, exposed cinematographic films.” The CinemaWide name sounds more suitable for a tall aspect ratio display. Rumors have it that the Xperia XZ4 will be equipped with a 6.5-inch OLED HDR display that will deliver quad HD+ resolution of 3660 x 1440 pixels.

The Sony Xperia XZ4 is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset and 6 GB of RAM. It may come with an internal storage of 128 GB. A recent leak had revealed that there is an advanced edition of the Xperia XZ4 heading to China that is rumored to feature 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage.

Sony is one smartphone OEM that has been using the Mobile World Congress (MWC) tech expo platform to announce new smartphones. The Japanese tech giant has now sent out invites for its Feb. 25 event at the MWC 2019 to Russian and Italian media channels. Even though the image press in the invite does not reveal the names of the devices it will be announcing on Feb. 25, speculations are rife that it will be unleashing the Xperia XZ4 handset on the said date. Newer information has claimed that the Xperia XZ4 may go official as Xperia N1.

At MWC 2018, Sony had unveiled the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact smartphones. At the IFA 2018 event in September, it unveiled the Sony Xperia XZ3. The company did not announce the Xperia XZ3 Compact phone alongside it. Few weeks ago, popular tipster @OnLeaks had shared renders of the Xperia XZ4 Compact smartphone. Hence, it was speculated that the Xperia XZ4 and Xperia XZ4 Compact would be announced at the MWC 2019 tech trade show.

Information from the previous week had revealed that the Japanese tech giant will be skipping the Xperia XZ4 Compact. Instead of it, the company may announce the Xperia XA3, Xperia XA3 Ultra and Xperia L3 smartphones along with the Snapdragon 855 powered Xperia XZ4. The probable reason why the company is skipping the XZ4 Compact is that the Sony Mobile Vice President of Marketing for North America, Don Mesa had recently said that the consumers need a lot more surface area for their content now. He had also stated that the upcoming Sony phones will deliver better camera experience.

Sony had unveiled multiple phones such as Xperia XZ2, XZ2 Compact, XZ Premium and Xperia X at MWC 2018. Hence, it is very likely that the Japanese firm may debut multiple smartphones on Feb. 25. Recently, a new case listing for a Sony phone called Xperia N1 was spotted on Amazon Spain recently. The case images revealed that the phone will come equipped with triple rear cameras. Since the images of the phone resembles with Xperia XZ4 renders, it is now being speculated that XZ4 may get unleashed as Xperia N1.

The Xperia XZ4 should be Sony’s flagship for this year but there is a possibility it may launch under a different name entirely. According to new reports, the Xperia XZ4 may launch as the Xperia N1, the first of a new series.

The Sony Xperia N1 was seen on Amazon Spain. It is technically a listing for a case for the phone. The case is made by Tianqin and the listing says it is for the Sony Xperia N1. The images provided show the Xperia N1 has a triple camera setup on its rear just as it has been rumored for the Xperia XZ4.

The cameras are arranged vertically and positioned in the middle of the phone just as shown in CAD renders of the Xperia XZ4 released last year. The phone also has an unusually tall display. The similarities between the Xperia N1 and the Xperia XZ4 has led to speculations that they are the same device. Unfortunately, the listing has been pulled off Amazon Spain’ website.

In other news, renders of Xperia XZ4 cases from phone accessory manufacturer, Olixar, have surfaced online and they confirm Sony’s upcoming phone does sport three vertically stacked rear cameras. The cases come in various designs but they are all listed on the retail site, MobileFun. Prices start at $5.49 and go up to $10.99.

The renders show the phone will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a departure from the rear-mounted sensors from last year but nevertheless, it is not a new move for Sony. We guess Sony is still not ready to join the under-display fingerprint scanner trend. Above the fingerprint scanner is the volume rocker and below it is the power button. Close to the bottom is the dedicated camera button.

The Xperia XZ4 doesn’t have a notch.  The front camera sits on the left of the speaker along with what appears to be a front LED flash. We also see the SIM tray is at the top of the device.

Sony will unveil the Xperia XZ4 at MWC next month but it will likely not be announcing a compact version of the phone. The news floating around is that Sony has axed the compact series since big screen phones are now the trend. There is still no confirmation the Xperia XZ4 is the Xperia N1. There is a possibility they might be two different phones with the same design but very different specs.

The Xperia XZ4 is Sony‘s upcoming flagship phone for this year and it is expected to pack a punch with the Snapdragon 855 processor under its hood. If you want to know just how powerful the processor is inside the phone, then you should check out its AnTuTu score.

The AnTuTu score was shared on Twitter by @I_Leak_VN and the post says it is for a device with model number i8134 which is believed to be the Sony Xperia XZ4.

The device scored 395,721 points which is significantly higher than we have seen in other benchmark results of the processor. The Snapdragon 855 already beats the Apple A12 Bionic and the Kirin 980 on AnTuTu but this new result further widens the gap.

Unfortunately, other than the score there isn’t any info about the Xperia XZ4 that the benchmark app is known to reveal such as display resolution, RAM, storage and the version of Android it is running.

It has been quite a while since we heard any news about the Sony Xperia XZ4. The phone has been rumored earlier this month to feature an extremely tall display with a cinematic screen ratio of 21:9. Here are some leaked CAD (Computer Aided Diagram) renders of the upcoming Sony Xperia XZ4 flagship alongside its screen protector. This leak is again lending credence to earlier rumours of a tall display.

The panel fits closely to the ratios as seen in the renders featuring an extremely thin bezel, without a notch, and cut out for the earpiece, including proximity sensor. It’s also equipped with a tiny hole in the left end of the screen, presumably for the LED notification light. From a glance at the second photo, it fits perfectly for the screen of the Sony Xperia XZ4. We are hoping the picture is the real device because anyone might have produced the panel, just by mere looking at the 3D image.

The Xperia XZ4 renders show that it will be sporting a design that is slightly different from the Xperia XZ3. The smartphone is equipped with a 6.5-inch screen. The display of the phone is not curved like the Xperia XZ3. As it can be seen in the renders, the Xperia XZ4 features a notch-less screen that supports an aspect ratio of 18:9.

There is a camera bump where the thickness of the device increases to 9mm. In comparison, the Xperia XZ3 that houses a 6-inch display measures 158 x 73 x 9.9 mm.
