Sony Xperia October event: How to watch it and what to expect

Sony typically announces its latest crop of Xperia smartphones at MWC Barcelona in late February and then more at IFA Berlin in Setember. For 2021 however, the company announced both the Xperia 1 III 5G and the Xperia 1 III 5G at a Spring event, followed by the Xperia 10 III devices a little later, meaning the usual release cycle has been slighty different.

A new Xperia product is on the horizon though, with Sony announcing an event in October.

What to expect from the Sony Xperia event

Sony hasn't confirmed which devices it will unveil, but given its flagship and mid-ranger smartphones were all unusually announced at the beginning of the year, it's difficult to guess what the company has planned for the event.

We haven't seen a tablet from Sony for a while - since 2015 when the Xperia Z4 Tablet arrived - so a successor to that waterproof slab could be one thing to place a bet on. It could also be an entirely new smartphone of course, one that doesn't fall into the company's current three ranges, though given those ranges were introduced to simplify things, this would be a little strange. 

For now, it's anyone's guess.
