The Sony Xperia smartphones are generally well accepted, even though the brand is not as prevalent as previously in the market. 2017 may be a game changer for the company however as they are set to release new smartphones in time for MWC 2017, and we now have hints of what we can expect from them in Barcelona, with a leak of the New Sony Xperia X.
