Sony is expected to release a flashing Android smartphone codenamed Yoshino at Mobile World Congress 2017 next month. One of the company's big announcements at the 2017 MCW was about their Yoshino, which is said to feature a 4K display and will be equipped with Qualcomm's best chip to date, the Snapdragon 835. In addition, a new leak suggests that the Japan-based conglomerate is planning to introduce five not two, new Xperia smartphones.
According to SlashGear, the leak does not yet give official codenames of the 5 alleged Xperia smartphones but comparison with the current lineup can still be seen on the basis of the specs that have been suggested. Here is a quick run-down of the specs of the alleged new Sony smartphones.
The Yoshino is said to have a 5.5-inch 4K display (3840 x 2160 pixels), powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 system chip that works along with either 4GB or 6GB of LPDRR4 RAM. In addition, the handset is expected to come with the new IMX400 image sensors that can deliver a noticeable improvement in image quality.
Another high-tier phone, codenamed as BlancBright is also said to have a 5.5-inch screen, but this phone is said to have a Quad HD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels). Some reports say that the handset could be equipped by either the Snapdragon 835 or the Snapdragon 653, together with 4GB of RAM. This handset will also have the new IMX400 camera sensor.
Codenamed as Keyaki, this phone is said to a mid-range device with a more compact, 5.2-inch display with a Full HD resolution (1080 x 1920 pixels). However, the system chip that will be used on the phone is a cheaper MediaTek Helio P20 with 4GB RAM. The phone is said to have a 23MP main camera and a 16MP front camera.
Sony is expected to sell two affordable phones. First will be the Hinoki, the phone is said to have a 5-inch HD (1280 x 720 pixel) display. Equipped with a MediaTek Helio P20 system chip with 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. The handset is also said to have a 16-megapixel rear cam and 8MP front camera.
The last phone on the list is a mysterious phone codenamed Mineo. The only information about this phone is only its price which is expected to be $350. If Sony will indeed release five new phones all at once at MCW 2017, it will surely become one of the biggest events at the upcoming show.
