Once the video is available, we’ll embed it at the top of this page so just come back at the right time and enjoy the show.
What to expect
It’s no big surprise that Sony got the Xperia L4 announcement out of the way ahead of the event. It will want to leave more time to look at the more exciting phones.
Rumours suggest the Xperia 2 is the most likely device to make an appearance. This will be the follow-up to theXperia 1and is rumoured to get a 6.6in OLED screen, four rear cameras and support for 5G.
The Xperia 1 was announced at MWC 2019 so a successor arriving 12 months later would make total sense.
Sony also announced theXperia 10(and 10 Plus) at the same time so we could possibly get new versions of those mid-range options, too. If these support 5G as well, they will likely be some of the most affordable5G phoneson the market.
Less likely is an update to theXperia 5, which was released at IFA in September 2019. Sony used to do 6-month refresh cycles but we think it’s too early for a new version of this model.
