OnLeaks also mentioned that the new phone will have a chin and bezel that is thinner than the Xperia XZ2 Compact series. In addition, the Xperia Compact will also carry a waterdrop notch design for the 8 megapixel resolution selfie camera.

Meanwhile, a dual-camera configuration will be embedded on the back of the cellphone, where one of the main sensors is 13MP. The fingerprint sensor is stored in the power button and this Sony flagship phone will still have a 3.5mm audio jack port.

Regarding the performance and internal specification that will be carried, some reports say this series is registered with the Snapdragon 755G processor. However, it is said that this phone will come with Snapdragon 765G.

If it is true that this phone will be released, it will be certainly in line with Sony's plans to revive the smartphone market. Where Sony reportedly will release three flagship smartphone models in 2021.

However, Sony needs to pay attention to current market trends, many cellphone manufacturers are actually presenting large flagships from regular variants. For example, the iPhone 12 Mini whose sales are not as good as its bigger brothers.
