Sony Xperia XZ1 official renders emerge, show off a cool new color option

18comments

Amidst all the chaos surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which was launched mere hours ago, you'd be forgiven for forgetting about other manufacturers and their respective devices. But don't worry, our job is to remind you of them — for example, remember that Sony has three new Xperia devices in the pipeline?

One of them, the Xperia XZ1, stands out as the definite flagship, thanks to its rumored high-tier specs. We've already seen the device in CAD-based renders, but we now have the real deal in front of us.

The renders come from the Amazon listings uncovered by Roland Quandt earlier today, which were taken down almost immediately after news started spreading out. However, the pages are now back up, and have provided us with the best look we've gotten at the device so far. And as an added bonus, there's a new, previously unseen (and pretty cool-looking) pink color variant

As you can probably see, the classic Sony OmniBalance design is once again back in full force, with the biggest difference being the back panel sensor array, which is now wider than the one in the XZ Premium, and is also centered along the horizontal axis.

The Xperia XZ1 should be unveiled on Thursday, August 31, alongside the smaller Xperia XZ1 Compact and a mid-ranger which will most likely be called the Xperia X1. We'll be present at the press conference, as well as the IFA showfloor immediately afterwards, so make sure to check back with us in time.
