Sony will be at this week’s IFA 2017 trade show in Berlin and the company is expected to reveal a new smartphone. Over the weekend, a few renders were posted to Twitter, giving us a better idea of what to expect out of Sony at this year’s IFA conference.

Sources believe that Sony will be one of the major players at IFA 2017 with a new smartphone, the Sony Xperia XZ1. The renders you’re seeing in this post are believed to be of this model, but don’t paint the bezel-less image that we had in mind.

The phone’s display could be a major point of emphasis on Xperia XZ1. However, there’s nothing drastically new here. We’re looking at a 16:9 panel with an unknown resolution (probably QHD). The front and rear sides of the device look like the typical smartphone out of Sony with power, volume and camera shutter on the sides and large top and bottom front bezels around the screen with Sony branding. We don’t have confirmation of any specifications, though it’s reasonable to predict a Snapdragon 835 chip, at least 4GB of RAM, IP68 certification, and a high-resolution in-house rear camera lens with Dual LED flash. But, there’s a tiny chance the phone could run Android 8.0 Oreo.

The smartphone could be announced in full detail later this week in Berlin, Germany. Let’s hope Sony brings something new to the table for 2017 and has re-thought out its pricing strategy for customers that will be looking to purchase this one unlocked.
