Rumors are swirling about an exciting new project from Sony as reports suggest that the tech giant is working on a small phone with a foldable display and potentially resurrecting its beloved Compact series. With no smaller flagship releases since 2018, Sony looks set to make another big splash in the mobile market.

According to Japanese media outlet Sumahodigest, Sony’s foldable device will look like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip4 but without an external display. This design choice demonstrates Sony’s commitment to a sleek and compact form factor. If the reports are true, Sony could capitalize on the current trend towards foldable displays and catch up with big brands like Google and Samsung that have already entered the foldable phone market.

Interestingly, some insiders speculate that Sony’s foldable phone could be called the Xperia Fold, hinting at a potential focus on gaming capabilities. Given the huge popularity of mobile games, it would come as no surprise that Sony has used its experience in the gaming industry to create a device optimized for immersive gaming.

Although details about the release date are scarce, tech enthusiasts are looking forward to more updates for Sony’s foldable phone. The potential combination of compact design, advanced display technology and gaming prowess could make this device a huge hit in the mobile industry.

While we await confirmation and more concrete information from Sony, it’s clear that the tech landscape is improving and rumors of Sony entering the foldable phone market will shake things up. Among the major phone brands, only Apple and Sony have not released products with a foldable screen so far. Stay tuned for the future development of this exciting venture by Sony, a brand known for pushing the boundaries and developing innovative products.
