Sony Xperia XR and X Compact specifications leak

Sony seems to be sticking to its six month release cycle or at least the new leak seems to point in that direction. After tipster Evan Blass released the first leaked image of the Xperia X Compact, we now have some more details about Sony’s upcoming smartphones that are expected to be launched on 1 September at the IFA Berlin. First we have the Xperia X Compact, (that will obviously not make it to India like every other Compact model in the past). According to the leaked details from techtastic.nl, the Sony’s ‘compact’ flagship will feature a 4.6-inch display, a Snapdragon 820 CPU paired with 3GB RAM and will come powered by a 2,700mAh battery. Next up would be the bigger Xperia XR or the XZ (previously leaked out as the F8331) that will pack in a bigger 5.2-inch display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and 4GB RAM. According to various reports, the camera on the front is expected to be 23MP camera with a dual-LED flash, laser-assisted focusing mechanism. The front-facing camera is expected to be a 13MP unit. While the design language looks minimal, Sony’s Xperia XR does look different. Still, we would have appreciated something closer to the Xperia XA, with a bezel-less look. Sony’s quality will not fail to impress and the company still has all the ports in place. You get the 3.5mm headphone jack at the top, a USB Type C port (finally) at the bottom and the now standard power/unlock button on the left side (that also integrates the fingerprint reader). As for the cameras, the smartphone is capable of capturing 4K video with both the front and rear units.
