If the latest photo leak is to be believed, the company is set to launch Xperia XR in an event to be held on September 1. This upcoming phone will join the 'X' family currently comprising of Xperia X, XA, and X Performance.

This is not the first time that the phone has come up online. The phone codenamed F8331 seems to have similar design aspects as that of the previously launched X series devices. The render shows curve back panel in a blue hue but does not reveal any hardware specs of the phone.

As far as processor and other hardware specs are concerned, rumors have it that the phone would be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 paired with 3GB of RAM. It might, however, feature 4GB of RAM. Also expected is a 23MP rear-facing camera, and a 13MP selfie camera. All phones in the Sony Xperia series come with a microSD card slot, so we expect the phone to also feature a microSD card slot.
