Sony Xperia 2 release date, specs, features and rumours
![][1]
[Sony Mobile][2] typically releases a new smartphone every six months. Traditionally the company announces a device at [Mobile World Congress][3] in February, followed by another device at [IFA][4] in September.
At MWC 2019, Sony changed up its smartphone naming structure, launching [the flagship Xperia 1][5], alongside the mid-range [Xperia 10][6] and [10 Plus][7]. This is everything we know about the successor to the Xperia 1 so far, dubbed the Xperia 2.
## Sony Xperia 2 release date
* September 2019?
* MWC 2020 if not IFA
We thought Sony might move away from the six-month refreshes when it launched the Xperia 1 in February, perhaps launching a successor to [the Xperia XZ3][8] at IFA in September instead.
Recent rumours suggest the successor to the Xperia 1 is in the works though, suggesting we will likely see it launch at IFA.
This would only be four months after the Xperia 1 was on sale though, so maybe the early rumours are an indication of what's to come from Sony Mobile at MWC 2020 instead.
## Sony Xperia 2 specs: What we want and expect
* Premium design
* 21:9 aspect ratio
* 4K display
* HDR
* 6.1-inch display

* MicroSD
* At least 3300mAh
* Wireless charging
* IP68 water and dust resistance
* Triple rear camera
* 158 x 68.3 x 8.3mm

## Sony Xperia 2 rumours: What's happened?
### 1 July 2019: Some Xperia 2 specs may have appeared in a User Agent Profile
[PocketNow published a report][9] relating to some information found within a User Agent Profile thought to be referring to the Xperia 2.
The file mentions a Sony device with the model number J8210, which is similar to the Xperia 1's J8110 number, and a Sony device with a model number of J8010. According to the file, the devices are thought to have 5G modems and one will have a Full HD resolution, while the other will have a 4K resolution, like the Xperia 1.
No further information was offered and it's worth bearing in mind that User Agent Profiles can change so take this with a pinch of salt for now.
### 16 May 2019: Sony Xperia 2 and Xperia 20 renders show what could be next for Sony Mobile
[Cashkaro and OnLeaks published][10] some renders of what they claim to be the Xperia 2, showing a similar design to the Xperia 1 but with the triple rear camera in the top left corner instead of central.
It was also claimed the Xperia 2 will measure 158 x 68.3 x 8.3mm, which is 9mm shorter and 0.4mm narrower than the Xperia 1. It's also suggested that the Xperia 2 will have 6.1-inch display instead of a 6.5-inch screen like the Xperia 1.
