A new Sony Xperia smartphone could be entering and it's got people talking. A cryptic message posted past noted tipster and leaker, Zackbucks, contains a single-alphabetic character inkling, possibly hinting at either of a new budget Sony Xperia device or a possible render to Sony'south roots with an Ultra variant.

If you thought Sony would slam the brakes on Xperia phone releases later on the recent launches of the Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 Iii, then you'd be very much mistaken. Indeed, it seems the Xperia make is blooming, with the Japanese firm possibly gearing upwardly for yet another Xperia-branded drop this year.

Zackbucks' Weibo (Chinese social network) post appears to nod towards a 'new U' model that could arrive earlier than expected considering of this year's rapid-burn down launch of the two Sony Xperia flagships. The machine translation notes that Sony's fast rollout of the 2 Xperia flagships allows fourth dimension for the "new U release."

Although this makes sense, the information should be taken with considerable hesitation, attributable to the tendency for words to be lost in translation when machine translated. With that said, it poses the rather interesting question of what exactly this device could be.

 A riddle, wrapped in a mystery

Sony has already earmarked the Xperia i Iii and five Three as this year's flagship releases. And with this thought in tow, it leaves several spaces for the Sony Xperia U to fill.

Some speculation has suggested that the "U" could refer to a new "Ultra" smartphone variant, perhaps a follow-up to 2018'due south Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra. Alternatively, it might fifty-fifty refer to a new budget Sony Xperia model, perhaps an update to the entry-level Xperia L4, which hitting shelves in April 2020.

But fourth dimension will tell

Of course, the well-nigh interesting possibility is that of a new "Ultra" device, fifty-fifty though this seems the least likely option given Zackbuks' information, which underlines that Sony has launched this year's flagships.

Merely given the breathing room the two Xperia flagships will take had prior to a "new U" model arriving, there might not exist a demand to worry about competing audiences.

A potential overhaul of the mid-range Xperia XA2 Ultra gives further acceptance to this; with a new mid-range device, it would sit away from the Xperia 1 III and 5 2, plus information technology wouldn't target the same premium audiences as, say, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Whatsoever it turns out to be, it's heady news, even if information technology is but a slither of speculation at this stage before more solid information arrives. Stay tuned for further updates.
