Sony will introduce the next Xperia phone tomorrow or late at night, depending on where you are. The event is scheduled to start at 11am Japan time, which is 2am UTC.
Now, the company is cagey about what phone it will showcase, but it will almost certainly be the Sony Xperia 10 VIII – a successor to last year’s Mark 7 model (since we already got a Mark 8 Xperia 1 phone earlier this year). The event will be livestreamed on YouTube and you can watch below:
If you want spoilers, you can check out this post. In a recent interview, Sony representatives stated that the company is focused on a two phone strategy with the Xperia 1 as the flagship series and the Xperia 10 as the affordable models. This is to say, don’t hold your breath for a new Xperia 5 anytime soon.
By the way, local Sony sites have landing pages for the event, e.g. here are the ones for the UK and for Japan. However, they don’t say much other than “Stay tuned for the exciting news”.
Anyway, check back with us once the event is over – we’ll have full coverage of the new Xperia phone.
