referring to At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, it unveiled four Xperia handsets, ditching its previous 'XZ' branding for the devices. The flagship model, the Xperia 1, now has three rear cameras and a 6.5-inch 4K Oled display. Meanwhile, the Xperia 10 and 10 Plus handsets, with 6-inch and 6.5-inch displays, feature dual cameras on the back of the phone, although only the 10 Plus model uses an optical zoom.
