Title: Sony's next compact Xperia smartphone revealed with a 140 mm height and a 5.5-inch screen
Post by: Redaktion on January 25, 2021, 19:57:09
Sony may have resurrected its Xperia Compact line, according to OnLeaks. The leaker has published multiple CAD renders of the device online, which reputedly is just 140 mm tall with a 5.5-inch display. While some people may be hoping for a new compact flagship smartphone from Sony, several design cues suggest that the handset will be a distinctly mid-range affair.

There is something weird with the size (140 x 68.9 x 8.9 mm), at least if Sony keeps the 21:9 aspect ratio that they use in all of their phones.
Indeed, with a 21:9 aspect ratio, the width should be something like 58.9 mm if the height is 140 mm (with the screen being 5.5" = 128 x 55 mm). If the width is actually 68.9 mm, the height would be much more than 140 mm.
What it means is or Sony will use a different type of screen with a different aspect ratio (something like 2:1), or the alleged information is wrong.
I'm just saying  :)
