It’s almost three years since Sony released its first Xperia P series, since then Xperia’s fans have not seen any addition to the P family, until now. According to a leak Last month, by cnBeta, Sony is releasing Xperia P2. It is strange to hear such a news, considering the fact that Xperia P was not exactly a hit. According to the leak, Xperia P2 is a thicker variant of the recent announced Xperia Z4. It should be noted, Xperia Z4 was also not a hit as Sony planned.
The Xperia Z4 which was released last month led to some disappointment as there was a huge amount of anticipation for its release. Xperia’s fans felt that the new release is not as exciting as hoped for. The main concern for them after its release was that, it would be for Japan only. According to the leak, the new Sony Xperia P2 could be an alternative for Xperia Z4 in the international market.
Following is the leaked schematic:
