Sony first introduced the Xperia Compact line in 2014 with its 4.3-inch Xperia Z1 Compact. It launched a number of Compact label phones over the next few years. In 2018, the last phone with the brand, the Xperia ZX2 Compact, was released with a 5-inch screen. In today’s new report it is claimed that the new phone will have a 5.5 inch screen. It is much larger than previous phones in the range, but still smaller than most phones currently sold.
The report also shows some versions, which shows that this phone has some large screens compared to most phones in the market. In addition, it will have a dewdrop design for its 8MP front-facing camera, which has almost disappeared from the latest smartphones.
The versions also show a dual rear camera for the phone, with the report that the primary camera will be 13MP. The left side of the phone has a volume button, a camera button and an on / off button with a built-in fingerprint reader. There will also be a 3.5mm headphone jack on top.
The report does not reveal any more details, such as the processor, the amount of RAM or the memory on board. At first glance, it is a ‘retro’ design for a phone, so it is possible that it may contain fairly low hardware specifications. It can also have an equally lower price. The report does not contain any information about a possible release date for the new Xperia Compact device.
At the end of 2018, there were rumors, also with leaked versions, that Sony was planning to launch an Xperia XZ4 Compact phone. However, the phone was never officially launched. In early 2019, it appears that Don Mesa, Sony Mobile’s vice president of marketing, indicated that the company was done with smaller phone designs, saying at the time: ‘There is always room for different sizes, but people want a lot more. area for their content now. ”
If this report is accurate, it is possible that Sony has changed their minds. The big question, however, is whether consumers really want a smaller design of the phone, or are they now used to the larger screens?
