Sony Xperia XZ2/XZ2 Pro to feature a last minute change in specs

Can we expect a major design change this time from Sony?

|

Over the weekend, there was a report that Sony has written to the FCC seeking a dismissal request with the primary reason for the same being the design change. Soon after the same, there were speculations that the company is in plans to change the complete design of the upcoming Xperia XZ2 or Xperia XZ2 Pro smartphones likely to be unveiled at the MWC 2018 tech show.

As there are gossips that one of these Sony smartphones will be launched with a 4K OLED display, there are reports that the company might ditch this display and opt for a conventional LCD panel. However, the last minute changes those are to be made to the flagship models remain unheard of until now.

For a company like Sony, there is no denying that a change in the finalized design of a smartphone is a huge risk that too when the launch is to happen in a few more days at a major international tech show. Apparently, the design change might be only in terms of the radio specs and not the external design.

The famous Twitter-based tipster Roland Quandt has noted that the change could be related to the radio stuff and not in terms of design. So, we cannot expect a change in the aesthetics though it will be in the internals. Given that the specifications of the upcoming smartphone will be different from that of the previous generation model, this is not a last minute change.

The previous rumors have tipped that Sony is likely to ditch the OmniBalance design language that was followed for years by releasing a full-screen design smartphone with narrow bezels and 18:9 aspect ratio display. But an official confirmation regarding the same is awaited. A few schematic renders of the upcoming Sony smartphone have already been leaked online and these also tip at such a design with thin bezels at the top and bottom of the screen.

The Sony Xperia XZ2 or Xperia XZ2 Pro is believed to be announced with NFC, dual rear cameras for the first time on a Sony flagship, and the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC. Sony has announced the Xperia XA2 Ultra with a dual camera module but the setup is seen at the front of the smartphone as it is a selfie-centric one that was meant to offer bokeh effect to the selfie shots.
