Sony has used the same, albeit impressive, 21MP camera sensor in its last four flagship Xperia Z devices, and while not many other devices in the market can boast such performance, it’s probably time for a change. To that end, Sony has started teasing a new Xperia device today, posting a rather abstract photo on their Twitter page with the caption “Focus closely now, a new way to capture split-second photos is coming,” and says that the announcement will be made on August 3rd. We’re assuming that’s a not-so-subtle way to suggest that Sony will be announcing a new Xperia device that has this new formidable camera sensor, alleged to be the Sony Exmor RS IMX230 sensor.

Based on prior rumours, we’re not sure that this Xperia device is going to be the Xperia Z5 – Sony typically saves its big announcements for IFA in September. There’s also the possibility the device could be the Xperia C5 Ultra, but frankly with Samsung announcing its device early this year, it’s possible anything could happen with Sony on August 3rd – we’re up for being surprised.
What device do you think Sony will launch on August 3rd?
