Japanese outlet AndroidNext cites a Weibo post that calims that the phone won’t be an Xperia Compact device by Sony. Instead, it will be the next entry in the Xperia Ace series. This makes it a limited release phone in Japan that Docomo customers may get. The post goes on to claim that there won’t be a global variant for this 5.5-inch Xperia device.
That’s as far as the details go from the Weibo post goes. But AndroidNext speculates that the Xperia device in question will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 5G chipset. The rest is similar to what we’ve heard of before, which is a 5.5-inch screen with a water drop notch, a dedicated camera button, and the side mounted finger print sensor power button. This is certainly unfortunate for those who were looking forward to a Sony Xperia Compact device. It looks like the iPhone 12 mini remains the only device that’s on a flagship level that’s available on the market. (Source: AndroidNext)
