On Feb. 26, Sony will be holding its press
conference at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 tech expo in Barcelona,
Spain to unleash the new smartphones. Since the company had unveiled mid-range
Xperia XA2, Xperia XA2 Ultra and Xperia L2 smartphones at the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) 2018 in the previous month, the company is heavily
pegged to unleash flagship phones at MWC 2018. Recent leaks have revealed that
the Japanese tech giant will be unleashing Xperia XZ Pro smartphone at MWC
2018. Some rumors have claimed that the Sony Xperia XZ2 may also get unveiled
alongside the Xperia XZ Pro. An accidental tweet by an Irish mobile operator
has revealed the Xperia XZ2 could indeed be the one of the new phones arriving
at MWC 2018.
While replying to a user, Three Ireland’s
representative said that the Xperia XZ2 is coming soon. The tweet that was
posted on Feb. 2 by the Irish mobile operator is no longer accessible. The
probable reason why the tweet might have been deleted is that the Xperia XZ2 is
an unannounced smartphone.
The Sony Xperia XZ1 flagship was unveiled to the
world at IFA 2017 tech trade show in September last year. Hence, the Xperia XZ2
is pegged to arrive as a successor for the Xperia XZ1. The Xperia XZ Pro is
speculated to debut as a premium flagship phone that will be featuring 4K OLED
display. The Xperia XZ2 may not be as advanced as Xperia XZ Pro. Hence, it may
arrive with a 5.2-inch or a 5.5-inch LCD display that will carry support for
FHD or FHD+ resolution.
Like the recent Sony flagships, the Xperia XZ2 is
likely to arrive with an IP68 rated water-resistant and dustproof chassis. The
Snapdragon 845 chipset may power the phone along with 4 GB of RAM. The handset
may sport full screen design, dual rear cameras and a rear-mounted fingerprint
reader.
A recent report had revealed a leaked image of the
alleged Xperia XZ2 Compact. It is speculated to arrive as a small-sized
flagship phone featuring a 5-inch display alongside the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia
XZ Pro.
