Is Sony to Launch a New Flip Smartphone Device?

As per what reports are revealing, the Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer, Sony is going to launch a new smartphone device with a flip/clamshell form factor design and it is expected to look similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series devices. However, the upcoming device is expected to feature a 7″ larger inner display than Samsung’s Flip devices, including the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 smartphone that will probably have a 6.7″ foldable display screen. It has also been revealed that the inner display is likely going to have an aspect ratio of 21:9 just like other Sony Xperia smartphones, with a 4K screen resolution.

What came as a really surprising news is that, while other smartphone makers are focusing on bringing larger cover displays to its flip smartphones, Sony’s upcoming device may not feature a cover display at all.
