Looks like everyone is getting their 2024 phones ready for prime time. What you see in the above picture is allegedly the back plate for the next Sony flagship device, possibly to be named the Xperia Z2. The picture was posted on Chinese forum Digi-Wo and was supposedly taken by someone at Sony R&D. The back plate, as you can see, appears to have ditched glass in favour of metal or, as some have proposed, carbon fibre.
In addition to the photo of the device, which is currently being referred to under the codename Sirius, some specs were given as well. The device is said to come with a larger 5.3″ display (hopefully with smaller bezels!) and an incredible 23MP camera! The device is also said to be available in 5 colours. Purple, if this is indeed the Z2, will obviously be one of the colour options and I would wager that black and white will make an appearance as well. As for the other two colour options, we’ll have to wait and see I guess.
The tipster also gave a possible release date of next month. That would, of course, line up with MWC so it’s definitely a possibility. The Z1 hasn’t been on the market for very long though but just like LG, Sony may want to push forward the time table a bit in order to take on the juggernaut known as Samsung.
