Last year, Sony claimed that it was reducing dependency on mid-range devices and will focus more on the high end market segment. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the company would bow away from the midrange market altogether, as a new leak clearly suggests.
The company's new Xperia Cosmos handset has been leaked out which reveals a selfie friendly camera on the front. There's even an LED flash accompanying the sensor, which is in line with the current trend.
The smartphone is said to be running on a MediaTek MT6752 octa core SoC and will seemingly run Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.
It has all the markings of a Sony smartphone with a familiar UI and the easy to access power button on the right. The rounded corners are perhaps the only new feature with this device, as the handset appears to be pretty identical to every Sony midrange handset we've seen of late.
Unfortunately, other hardware specs of the smartphone have still not been revealed by the source, but we expect to learn more in due time. Sony recently unveiled the Xperia Z4 Tablet and the Xperia M4 Aqua smartphone at the MWC, so the arrival of yet another midrange handset this early in the day might seem a little too ambitious.
However, given the horrid time Sony has had in the mobile industry over the past couple of years, nothing can be ruled out. HTC recently launched a smartphone similar to this known as the Desire Eye. However, it had a slightly superior hardware specs sheet, so the two might not be the in the same league.
