Sony is rumored to announce two new smartphones in the coming months, one is the Sony Xperia C6 Ultra, the successor to Xperia C5, and the new Sony Xperia M Ultra, which may be even called Xperia M6 Ultra.
A new info suggests phablet-like and cameraphone flagship features on the Xperia M Ultra. It’s said that it will feature a 6-inch MagicWhite screen with near-zero bezel similar to Xperia C5 Ultra. What’s more interesting is the alleged dual-lens, dual-camera at 23MP resolution; each with a 24mm f2.2 and 75mm f2.2 lens on top of the Optical Steady Shot. This approach will be somehow the same to LG G5, Huawei P9, and/or iPhone 7s Plus if things are true.
