Sony exec: next-gen Xperias to have bezel-less design

Managing Director of Sony India, Kenichiro Hibi, has stated that Sony is planning to launch next-gen Xperia phones and you can expect a completely new design from the devices. In other words, OmniBalance that has been employed since 2013 with the Xperia Z may be coming to an end. Hibi knows the direction that the market is heading 18:9 phones with bezel-less designs. And Sony may join this design trend with a new device soon. The company has neglected the low-end and even its mid-rangers have premium ambitions. With that in mind, Sony cant afford to keep an old school design when the market leaders have all jumped on the bezel-less bandwagon. Hibi says that while the Indian market is focused on entry-level phones, Sony is doubling down on high end and mid-range devices. Something like an is billed as premium mid-range while even the is not the true flagship that honor goes to the instead.
