New Sony Xperia Product Teased: Launch Date Set for May 13th
Get ready, Sony fans. The company has officially dropped a teaser for a "new Xperia product" and, more importantly, shared a date to unveil it all. While they're not dishing out the details about the actual model yet, all signs (and plenty of interesting rumors) are pointing to a launch of a new flagship – maybe the long-awaited Xperia 1 VII.
What Does the Teaser Reveal
The design Sony gives us is a phone that will look familiar to the fans. We can tell there's that specialized camera button – a photographer's favorite – and the old-school "cinematic" screen ratio that Sony's Xperia series is well-known for. It surely does have that premium Xperia look we're used to now.
Whispers and Rumors: What to Expect from the Xperia 1 VII
Since Sony is playing its cards close to its heart, the rumor mill has also been working overtime. What we are getting from insiders and regulatory details is as follows for this speculated new flagship:
- Dimensions: US regulator FCC data points towards a device of approximate 162 x 74.5 x 8.5 mm dimensions.
- Battery Power: We may be looking at a good 5000 mAh battery to juice things up.
- Display Details: Insiders are showing that the phone will feature a 6.5-inch display.
- Camera Setup: Cameras, as per usual, are the highlight for Xperia, and the latest word on the street says that the phone will feature a triple camera setup (48MP + 12MP + 12MP). This may be accompanied by an eye-boggling telephoto module with an equivalent focal length of 70-200mm.
Mark Your Calendars
The May 13th date has been locked in for the official release of Sony's new Xperia device. It's a date that will be circled on many calendars with anticipation. And who knows, we might even get to see double Xperia goodness – rumor suggests an appearance of a cheaper device, perhaps the Xperia 10 VII, at the same event.
Stay tuned for more coverage as the days count down until the event.
