If this Sony handset should run out of juice, it is a case of Dr. But it's astonishing that you can get more than six hours of display on time from this rather low capacity, in 2020 for a top smartphone.

Of course, the segment right above the display is a few millimeters wider due to the built-in front camera, but this is only noticeable upon closer inspection. Sony also manages to keep the display edges almost equally wide. This Sony Xperia smartphone features an unusual 21:9 format. The very straight design also has another small but nice advantage: the display corners don't need a large radius, so that results in having more space at the corners.

But it is time to call down the curtain on these experiments, and Sony is (fortunately) returning to theirįlat design with a fingerprint sensor located on the side of the device of which many of us are familiar with It seems that Sony has experimented a lot with the design and ergonomics of its own smartphones in recent years.
