Sony Xperia 1, Xperia 10 and 10 Plus smartphones leaked ahead of MWC 2019 launch

With only a few days remaining for the 2019 Mobile World Congress to commence, the leaks have begun to intensify. Sony’s upcoming smartphone, rumoured as Sony Xperia XZ4  was expected to feature a 6.4-inch OLED display with an aspect ratio of 21:9 and powered by a  **Snapdragon 855 chipset** . While there are no more leaks revealing the specifications or the design aspect of the phone, a new leak by tipster Evan Blass through a tweet states that Sony might be planning to drop the XZ naming scheme and may opt to rebrand the upcoming flagship as Sony Xperia 1.

The leaked render also shows a triple camera setup on the back and a single lens camera on the front. The phone also has close to no bezels on the sides but shows chubbier bezels at the top and bottom, similar to the previous Xperia XZ3 flagship. The black button on the right side is the fingerprint reader and could double up as the power button as seen on older Xperia devices. There’s also a second smaller button on the frame below the fingerprint reader. It may be used to trigger Google’s Assistant.

In the same thread, Blass also posted the image renders of Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus. Both the phones sport extremely thin bezels on the sides and the bottom end, but strangely feature way thicker bezels at the top. The display size of the Xperia 10 Plus appears to be bigger than the Xperia 10 going by the leaked images. Both the phones sport a horizontally placed dual-lens camera on the back and a single lens camera on the top bezel. As per a report in Winfuture, the Sony Xperia 10 and 10 Plus might be the company’s new mid-rangers.
