Sony is not your typical Android mobile manufacturer. They release few a year and do not try to compete with the quality / price ratio of Chinese brands, or with the most expensive flagships on the market. They go their way. Next year, yes, it seems that they will change their strategy .
According to the Japanese media Sumahodigest , Sony expects to launch six phones in 2023, all of them with a Snapdragon processor, to compete in the different ranges of the market. It should be noted that the real source of this information is a Reddit user whose publication we ourselves could not find, so do not trust what this medium says too much. Still, it’s interesting to see what the leak says. Join us to see it…
The 6 Sony Xperia mobiles of 2023 will use these processors
The model numbers of the six Sony Xperia mobiles that will arrive in 2023 are the following: PM-142x-BV, PM-143x-BV, PM-144x-BV, PM-145x-BV, PM-146x-BV and PM- 147x-BV. This tells us absolutely nothing about them , but we leave it there as a curiosity. The most interesting thing about the leak is that it indicates the processors that these mobiles will carry:
- 2 x Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 .
- 1 x Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 .
- 3 x Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 .
That means that Sony will launch a total of three high-end phones, one mid-range and two low-end phones in 2023. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and 4 Gen 1 chips were introduced in early September of this year and feature the seventh generation of Qualcomm’s AI engine, making it the most advanced the manufacturer has offered so far for these ranges. of phones. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for its part is the successor to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and has not yet been officially announced. Its official launch is expected to occur sometime in December of this year.
Doing the math, most likely the phones that will carry the SD 8 Gen 2 are the Xperia 1 V, Xperia 5 V and Xperia Pro 2023 if Sony continues with its tradition. The Xperia 10 V could carry SD 6 Gen 1 and there is a possibility of seeing SD 4 Gen 1 on the Xperia Ace IV. The other SD 4 Gen 1 phone could be the same Ace model, but with a different name for markets outside of Japan.
At the moment, nothing more is known about future Sony mobiles, but here we will try to keep you informed about the latest news in this regard.
