It will compete with Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
Sony is currently working on developing a foldable phone that is expected to be called the Xperia Flip. An insider under the nickname @RGcloudS reported the first details about the model.
The Xperia Flip is expected to feature a vertical-fold design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, scheduled for release on July 26th. The inner screen is rumored to be 7 inches, 4K resolution with a 21:9 aspect ratio. A potential competitor to the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 22:9 aspect ratio screen.
Sony’s entry into the foldable phone market has generated considerable interest and speculation. This exciting development could mark the return of the Sony Compact series, which has been out of production since 2018. Small folding design can attract users.

The source added that the smartphone will receive a powerful hardware platform, good cameras and improved software of the latest flip phones. Rumor has it that Sony will use their rich gaming experience to further improve this device.
Last year, the RGcloudS insider predicted the mass appearance of flagships with LPDDR5X and UFS 4.0 memory, the use of additional chips in smartphones to process data from cameras and screens with an increased PWM frequency.
