Having unveiled the Xperia 5 last September, Sony is reportedly looking to release a "Plus" variant of the device. And it will do so with a similar set of design and hardware features, but with a larger screen.
According to a leak, the so-called Xperia 5 Plus It will come with a 6.6-inch flat OLED display without a notch, dual front-facing speakers, an 8MP selfie camera, and a triple rear camera setup plus a ToF sensor.

The renders, released by OnLeaks and published by SlashLeaks, suggests that the device will retain the industrial look of the Xperia 5 with a boxy, minimalist design.
The device is said to come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button on the right. Also a 3.5mm plug on top and a port USB Type C on the bottom.
The audio port would be an interesting option, given that the standard Xperia 5 doesn't have that option.
In terms of optics, the Xperia 5 Plus has an 8MP selfie camera up front and a quad-camera setup on the back, including a ToF unit, but the exact identities of those sensors aren't immediately clear.
The report further claims that the Xperia 5 Plus will measure 168.2mm x 71.6mm with a width of 8.1mm increasing to 9.3mm when the protruding camera bump is taken into account.
Other key details about the rumored device are yet to be revealed, but we can expect it to ship with the latest high-end hardware, including the Snapdragon 865 instead of the 855 found in the smaller device.
It must also be sent with Android 10 out of the box instead of the Android 9 Pie that came with the Xperia 5 last year. Either way, there's no telling when Sony will officially announce the phone, but let's hope it happens sooner rather than later.
We will probably see it at the MWC in February in Barcelona.
