Renders Based on CAD Dimensions Show us the Xperia XA’s Successor

OnLeaks, in collaboration with Slashleaks, has been able to come up with a 3D render of what the successor to Sony's Xperia XA could look like. OnLeaks is known for getting his hands on CAD dimensions of upcoming products. Then, he's able to take this data and come up with reasonable look at what an unreleased product will look like.

As with all rumors though, you'll want to take this information with a grain of salt.

Every now and then we see Sony switch up their design language for a new smartphone, but there doesn't seem to be much changed here. We can see Sony's typical circle power button on the side, along with a volume up and volume down button right above it. Then at the bottom of that same side edge we have the well known dedicated hardware button that most use for taking their photos.

It seems like the speakers are front-facing, but we see what looks like a speaker grill on the right side of the bottom edge. There's a USB Type-C port at the bottom, right in the center, and then a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top. There isn't anything special happening on the back, as the render just shows the camera and flash at the top left corner. It's possible that we'll see some sort of Sony or Xperia logo here  when the final product is released.

Some people have not been a fan of this new design language from Sony. Granted, there have been complaints of the boxed/rectangle look of their phones for a while, but we're seeing them refine this as the years go by. This leak makes it seem as if Sony is shifting from a previous design (from the Xperia XZ) over to this new phone, and focusing on a hardware upgrade with the successor the Sony Xperia XA.
