This means that the successor of the Sony Xperia XZ1 can go toe to toe with the Samsung Galaxy S9, which is expected to come with the same processor.

As for the rest of the specs, previous leaks and reports suggest that the new Sony Xperia XZ1 handset will be come with a dual camera setup comprised of two 12-megapixel cameras. On the front will be a 15 MP selfie snapper. Photos taken on these shooters can be saved in the 64 GB of native storage that the device will come in.

Set to ship with the Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, the Sony Xperia XZ1 successor will keep the lights on with a 3,130 mAh battery.
