Sony has a new Android smartphone on the way, the handset will be part of the Sony Xperia range, and the device is said to be a selfie smartphone.
Sony just posted a teaser on Twitter hinting at this new Sony Selfie smartphone, unfortunately we do not actually have any specifications on the device.
Anticipated Camera Features
As the new Android device is being marketed as a selfie smartphone, then we would expect a high specification camera on the front of the device. The emphasis on selfies suggests that Sony is likely to equip this phone with advanced camera technology. This could include features such as a wide-angle lens to capture more background or group selfies, and possibly even a front-facing flash to improve low-light photography.

We wonder what camera Sony will decide to use for this new handset. We would expect the front-facing camera to be Full HD capable, and would also expect it to be at least 5 megapixel, possibly more. Given Sony’s history of high-quality camera sensors, it wouldn’t be surprising if the front camera also includes features like optical image stabilization (OIS) and advanced autofocus capabilities. Although we doubt Sony will include their flagship 20.7 megapixel Sony Exmor RS sensor on the front of this new device, it is possible that they might introduce a new sensor specifically designed for selfies.
Additional Features and Speculations
In addition to the camera, there are other features that could make this new Sony Xperia phone stand out. For instance, the device might come with enhanced photo editing software, allowing users to touch up their selfies directly on the phone. This could include filters, beauty modes, and other tools to enhance the quality of the photos.
Moreover, considering the trend in modern smartphones, the new Xperia device might also feature a high-resolution display, possibly OLED, to ensure that selfies look vibrant and clear. The phone could also come with a powerful processor and ample RAM to handle the advanced camera software and other applications smoothly.
Another aspect to consider is the battery life. Taking and editing selfies can be quite demanding on the battery, so it would be reasonable to expect a large battery capacity, possibly with fast charging capabilities, to ensure that users can take selfies throughout the day without worrying about running out of power.
As soon as we get some more details on this new smartphone from Sony, including a full list of the handset’s specifications, and some actual pictures of the device, we will let you guys know. The anticipation is high, and it will be interesting to see how Sony plans to differentiate this selfie smartphone from other devices in the market.
