Sony's Xperia XZ2 is still fresh on the shelves and rumors about the upcoming mainstream flagship, the Xperia XZ3, start to go around. But, of course, Sony is famous for its six-month update cycle, so it doesn't really come as a surprise.

The latest leaks brings us real-life images revealing some interesting details about the design and hardware. We see a tall 18:9 aspect ratio screen surrounded by bezels fairly thick by 2018 standards. Judging by last year's flagship, this one have its earpiece act as a speaker. The bottom of the device isn't pictured, but we can assume it will feature a second speaker for that sweet stereo sound.

Moving on to the back, we see identical design to the Xperia XZ2 with a curved back. But more importantly, Sony is embracing the dual camera trend, which confirms the earlier report claiming that the Xperia XZ3 will come with the same dual camera configuration found on the Xperia XZ2 Premium.

If the previous leak is to be believed, the XZ3 will also bring a bigger battery, more RAM and a 5.7-inch 1080 x 2160 IPS display.

We will probably know for sure during this year's IFA at Berlin as the company always announces some of its handsets during the forum.
