Then, Sony wants to join Samsung, Oppo, One Plus and Vivo in entering the foldable cellphone market. Reportedly, Sony will take part in a product called the Xperia F.

The popularity of foldable cellphones is predicted to increase recently, which is one of the reasons Sony entered this market. The Japanese electronics factory has reportedly prepared a folding screen device with a luxurious and futuristic design.

As quoted from Gizmochinait is predicted that this device will be able to attract users who want to experience its unique features but at an affordable price.

However, because there has been no official confirmation, there is not much detailed information about this product. It is only stated that the Xperia F will feature a 7-inch 4K screen with an aspect ratio of 21:9. As a newcomer to folding cellphones, Sony certainly has to offer something different if it wants to compete in the market.
