Images of mysterious new Sony smartphone have been leaked

Courtesy of XDA member iRimas come some photos and rumored specs of a mystery Sony smartphone. The device in question belongs to the family Xperia and has the model number D6503. According to the leakster it sports a 5.2″ display, thinner bezels than the Xperia Z1 and runs on a fresh new UI.

Photographs of what is thought to be Sony’s follow-up to the Xperia Z1 have surfaced. The pictured smartphone, said to have the model number D6503, could possibly be the codenamed “Sirius” device that is rumored to be launched at Mobile World Congress next month, though it could possibly be another variant on the Xperia Z1 alongside the Xperia Z1 Mini. Appearing on the XDA Developers forum, the images show a device with relatively thin bezels when compared to the extremely similar Xperia Z1. A trio of mic holes at the base replace the mesh grille in its predecessor, with the forum poster iRimas claiming it to have a 20.7-megapixel camera and a new user interface on top of Android 4.3, though this is apparently crashing for the user.
