Even though it lacks 4K screen resolution or 6GB RAM, the presumed Sony Xperia XZ2 benchmarked today as H8266 looks quite special on paper.
Sony has something to show off at the 2018 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 26, and we're pretty sure it's at least one new high-end smartphone.
There's a Snapdragon 845 processor inside a pre-release prototype of the Sony H8266 smartphone expected to follow the Xperia XZs and Xperia XZ1.
Recently updated to Android 8.0 Oreo, and capable of super slow-motion video recording tricks, the Sony Xperia XZs is a decent bargain at $399.99.
As always, Sony seems to be working on several high-end Android phones, one of which could pair a Full HD screen with a Snapdragon 845 SoC.
Sony seems to have a bunch of high-end smartphones lined up for 2018 releases, all of which could sport "conventional" 16:9 screens.
There are the basic Android 8.0 features such as notification dots, but then there are the Sony features that may get into future editions of Android.
Available earlier this year for as much as $700, the unlocked Sony Xperia XZs currently fetches just $500 at Amazon, Best Buy and B&H.
Android 8.0 Oreo will soon roll out to a bunch of Sony Xperia devices, including the X, X Performance, X Compact, XZ, XA1 and XA1 Ultra.
Both the Sony Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact pack Snapdragon 835 processors and 4GB RAM, also offering sweet camera capabilities.
It looks like those leaked hands-on photographs and CAD-based renders were spot on in capturing the familiar, unremarkable Sony Xperia XZ1.
It's hard to look forward to the iterative but powerful Sony Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact when they're expected to each cost a small fortune.
The design of the upcoming Sony Xperia XZ1 holds no more secrets following two detailed new visual leaks, with a bunch of specs also revealed.
This G8441 has to be an IFA 2017-bound sequel for last year's Sony Xperia X Compact, with 720p screen resolution and a Snapdragon 835 SoC in tow.
Don't rule out the possibility of Sony unveiling a second-gen Xperia X Compact at IFA 2017, alongside a follow-up for the XZ Premium.
With model numbers G8341 and G8342, one of Sony's next-gen hero phones is set to follow the original Xperia XZ on the Full HD screen resolution boat.
It's been on the Xperia Z2 and on most every device since then. Why drop it now, Sony? Maybe it's unfinished software. But at this stage?
Sony's "premium standard" smartphone line is apparently dead and buried, X Compact included, with two more high-enders instead in the works.
Once upon a time, not that long ago, priced at an absurdly high $700, the unlocked Sony Xperia XZ now goes for a measly $340 from a trusted eBay seller.
Dual SIM phones usually have a hybrid slot for a possible microSD card. Sony has been more progressive in giving more connectivity and memory options.
It's only taken Amazon a few weeks to mark down the unlocked GSM Sony Xperia XZs from $700 to $620 in black.
