If Sony is to be believed, than “something extraordinary is coming” is coming from the company’s growing mobile division. Building up to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona which kicks off next week, Sony has begun sending a teaser email to its customers with the mentioned tag line and a video which can be found after the jump. The preemptive email also depicts dancing and photography which fall in line with previous rumors about Sony focusing heavy on the optics of their upcoming flagship Android smartphone. It’s expected that during the MWC, Sony will release the Xperia Z2 (code named Sirius D6503) as the Xperia Z replacement with features like 4K video recording and 15.5-megapixels in 16:9 aspect ratio photography. For reference, Sony’s current flagship model, the Xperia Z1 is only capable of taking pictures at 8-megapixel in 16:9 mode. But that’s not all from Sony.
It’s widely expected that the company, known for its more premium products, will more aggressively target the mid-range Android market with the Xperia G. While Sony isn’t new to that market, the Xperia G is expected to have a few features that were previously found in only the Xperia Z1 like a waterproof housing. Alongside these new smartphones, Sony will also likely debut their next premium tablet, the Xperia Tablet Z2 with a more powerful processor and thinner design. On February 24th, Sony will take to the stage at the MWC to officially announce their 2014 portfolio of Android devices. Could there also be a Windows Mobile phone in the mix?
