From The Verge: Sony is expected to unveil a new lineup of smartphones at Mobile World Congress on Monday, February 25th. But you probably won’t have to wait until then to see what the company has to offer. 91Mobiles has leaked what it claims is the entire lot, complete with pictures, specs, and prices.
According to the tech site, Sony will be launching up to four new handsets at MWC this year. They include the lower-end Xperia L3, midrange Xperia 10 and 10 Plus, and flagship Xperia 1. This name fits earlier leaks of the device from Evan Blass, who also published pictures of the Xperia 1 and Xperia 10 and 10 Plus.
The pics show that Sony isn’t shaking up the Xperia look too much, with all four devices following the slightly-refreshed design we saw debut with the XZ2 and XZ3 last year. There’s curved metal edges on each phone, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and disappointingly large bezels — nothing to match the edge-to-edge quality of most high-end smartphones.
However, where Sony is doing something different is the new extra-tall, 21:9 aspect ratio on the higher-end devices. Sony is apparently calling this ‘Cinema-wide,’ and while it’ll be great for watching TV and movies, we’re curious to see how it handles for day-to-day usage.
