Could Sony actually have a foldable Xperia iii-series coming?? Hmmmm........

    Anonymous, 12 Oct 2021Please, do not dream of a 5" version of 5iii. Sony i... moreXZ2 Compact was the weakest seller of all Xperia phones (including ones with Windows OS).

    Sony phone with Windows OS? Really? Which one, i want to add it in to my collection. Never heard before about Sony using Windows in their phones before. (We are talking about Sony, not SE.)

      whatever it is, if it's v9 based chipset I'll buy it.

        doesnt matter what they release, it would hardly reach global market and never in time. we all have been victim of this trick.

          Maybe a new PRO? To be sold Q2/22?

            Hope they will have brighter LTPO panels

              Hopefully, a phone that isn't so narrow it is like trying to read vertical traditional Chinese text signs.

                        Sony is done with compact.
                        XZ2 Compact was the weakest seller of all Xperia phones (including ones with Windows OS).

                        - small phones have higher R&D cost
                        - lower profit margin
                        - it is harder to deal with cpu heat (Z5c was the hottest of the z5 series)
                        - hardware compromises compared to big phones.

                          Trust, 12 Oct 2021If anyone has heard the news about Sony partnering with tha... moreSony and TSMC.

                          They will open a factory together in Japan to deal with chip shortage. Many Sony products are being affected by the lack of chips (Xperia, Alpha, headphones and TVs).
                          Part of Exmor production is already made at TSMC because Sony Semicon cannot deal with all orders alone.

                          This is way they can have access to more chips. Also make money out of this.

                            Are they even still making phones?

The only way it would work is to use custom software. Then it lose all those android function. A portable ps vita 2 is more plausible.

                                        I think everyone commenting here may prove wrong. According to my judgement the new announcement would be about - An E-CAR.
