Sony’s smartphones have steered clear of display design trends for
years, keeping conventional bezels on its screens while ignoring the
controversial notches and punch holes. Regardless of how well-received
it was among fans, it appears that Sony is soon going to ditch the
classical bezels for a punch-hole cutout.
A recently surfaced patent at the WIPO Global Design Database shows a
Sony Xperia device with the company’s signature 21:9 aspect ratio, but
with a punch-hole selfie camera.
The rendered image for the patent comes courtesy of LetsGoDigital. It
shows an anonymous Sony Xperia device, which, much like the Galaxy Note
10, features razor-thin top and side bezels with curved edges and a
centered punch-hole camera. Luckily, the cutout is aligned conveniently
with the notification bar, somewhere it will not hinder any on-screen
content.
Successor devices for Xperia 1, 5, and 10 are expected early next
year and this mysterious punch-hole carrying phone could be any of them.
It is unclear which it is going to be since Sony’s naming scheme never
quite aligned with release dates, specifications or any other sensible
order.
Speaking of release date, the mysterious Xperia device is expected to show up at the MWC 2020 event in February.
On the contrary, the device might actually never see the light of the
day since it has only appeared in a patent and Sony hasn’t revealed
anything official as of yet.
