New Sony Xperia 2017 phones model numbers leaked online

Sony has already launched its flagship for 2016 in the form of the Xperia XZ. But that hasn’t stopped the rumour mills from speculating about its next releases. With two major annual events to start of 2017 - Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and Mobile World Congress (MWC), it looks like Sony’s 2017 models may have leaked online. The alleged Sony Xperia models are nicknamed G3112 and G3121 and their testing seems to have already started. The leaks were spotted on Russian site mobiltelefon.ru [caption id=“attachment_344541” align=“aligncenter” width=“573”]  Image: Mobiltelefon.ru[/caption] The naming scheme follows Sony’s previous models. While the 2015 model number started with ‘E’, the 2016 model number started with ‘F’, the 2017 model number starting with ‘G’ makes logical sense. According to XperiaBlog, Sony had used the model number F31XX this year for the Xperia XA. The G31XX could likely be a mid-range 2017 equivalent of the Xperia XA. GSMArena points out that the model numbers could also hint at a lower end device. The Xperia E4 had the model number G2104. Earlier this year, Sony Xperia F8331 model had leaked out with a photograph. It turned out to be the current flagship Xperia XZ .
