The Xperia 4 could replace the Xperia Compact series and feature a 5.7-inch long display

Sony has officially unveiled the Xperia 1 phone without revealing the Xperia 1 Compact phone. We have heard rumors that the compact models of Xperia phones will now be marketed as middle-class phones, and this seems to be confirmed by the recent leak on the Xperia 4.

It depends to a large extent on rumors circulating on the Esato forums, including the image below comparing the two old phones Xperia Compact with the modern model that should arrive soon.

The idea behind the Xperia 4 is simple: it retains the same width as the old Xperia Compact 65mm phones, but with the length of the screen of the screen. As you probably all know, most of the smartphones unveiled by Sony this year have long screens of 9:21, and it is now reported that the Xperia 4 will undergo the same treatment.

Whether long screens are suitable for smartphones originally designed to be small or not, that's just one thing. According to rumors, the Xperia 4 will also get the Snapdragon 710 processor instead of the Snapdragon 855. Will already classify the Xperia Compact models among smartphones.

At least, this modern model will be thinner, it will have a thickness of only 8.3 mm, unlike the Xperia XZ2 Compact, which reached the market with a thickness of 12.1 mm. However, this modern model does not restore the 3.5mm earphone port. According to rumors, the Xperia 4 will be exclusively for Japanese NTT DoCoMo. Of course, it remains to be seen whether this phone will be launched worldwide or not.
