The first photo of the 5-inch smartphone Sony: not yet frameless

Sony will bring to the exhibition MWC 2018 new flagship smartphones, and it seems that one of the upcoming models lit up on the site of the US regulator FCC.

What kind of beast?

Until the announced device is equipped with a 5-inch screen and measures 135x65 mm. Sony uses a panel with the usual 16: 9 aspect ratio, but due to thinner frames (on the sides less than 1.5 mm), the smartphone turned out to be more compact than most 5-inch models and even 4.7-inch iPhone 8. In the photo of the FCC test stand, the smartphone resembles "full-screen" devices:

There is no more information about the novelty. Recently, the network also leaked characteristics of the future flagship Sony Xperia XZ Pro with a dual camera and 4K-display. Judging by the sketches , the company is not going to change the design of its smartphones. We are waiting for details at a press conference on February 26.
