Sony is gearing up to expand its Xperia product portfolio next year.
The handset maker is expected to release at least five new models in 2023.
That includes three premium models and one entry-level smartphone.
A new report also hints at a possible omission of a fingerprint sensor in one of the Xperia models next year.


A new report from Japanese tech news site SumahoDigest (opens in new tab) (via PhoneArena (opens in new tab)), says Sony is working on at least five new phones set to release next year. The models comprise the Xperia 5 V, Xperia 1 V, Xperia PRO-II, Xperia 10 V, and Xperia ACE IV.

The flagship models Xperia 1 V, Xperia 5 V, and the Xperia PRO-II are said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which is expected to be unveiled in the upcoming Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit 2022 next week.

The Xperia ACE IV is rumored to be the cost-effective model featuring a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC. According to PhoneArena, this device could be an alternative to the iPhone mini for Android enthusiasts. This particular device reportedly comes in two models: one for the home turf, i.e., Japan, and the other likely to make its way to global markets.

Three of these devices are subjected to the traditional launch pattern, which means you can expect the Xperia 1 V and 10 V models to be released in May 2023, followed by the Xperia 5 V in September of the same year. The Xperia 10 V is expected to sit between the premium models and the ACE model, as it is said to be powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC.

Another report from SumahoDigest (opens in new tab) (via Notebookcheck (opens in new tab)) also hints at a possible omission of the side-mounted fingerprint sensor in favor of an in-display fingerprint sensor for at least one of the above-mentioned models. In previous Xperia models, the power button simultaneously acted as a fingerprint sensor, which often felt reliable and fast for Android device owners.
