Mobile World Congress 2018 iis days away in Barcelona and Sony Mobile’s star attractions have been revealed ahead of their slated debut by noted leaker Even Blass who shared just what Sony’s two new phones, dubbed the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact look like and what they have under the hood.

Both new phones make a departure from Sony Mobile’s erstwhile traditional designs that feature a flat top and bottom with generous bezels. The renders of the new Xperia XZ2 and the XZ2 Compact now feature a more contemporary design with rounded corners and a  screen sheathed in 3D glass that stretches vertically to offer one of the widest screen-to-body ratios ever seen in any Xperia phone ever made with extremely thin top and bottom bezels. Both phones now sport a separate fingerprint sensor that has been relocated to the rear of the phone.

In terms of rear cameras, both phones sport a similar setup with hardware culled from the high-end XZ Premium currently in service in the form of a 19-MP, F/1.8 camera capable of ultra slo-mo 1080P and 4K HDR video capture.
