MWC 2020 | Sony confirms the arrival of new smartphones ahead of next month's conference

As had been previously speculated, Sony has confirmed that it will be bringing new phones to MWC 2020. The company is yet to confirm how many it will unveil at the conference in Barcelona next month, but the current consensus is that at least the Xperia 5 Plus, or Xperia 5.1 as it may be called, will make an appearance. Last year, AndroidNext stated that Sony would announce a refreshed Xperia 1, the Xperia 1.1, at MWC 2020 too.

The press invitation that GSMArena posted online states that Sony will host a press conference on February 24 at 08:30 CET. Doors to Hall 3, where the Sony Booth will be located, will open fifteen minutes earlier at 08:15.

Alternatively, YouTube will host a live-stream of the event. You can watch the live-stream from the Sony Xperia YouTube channel. GSMArena expects Sony to announce a new mid-range Xperia smartphone too, powered by the Snapdragon 765. If true, then this device will probably succeed the Xperia 10 series.
