The Xperia XZ2 will be Sony's first smartphone to adopt a high display-to-body ratio design. The screen size will be 5.7 inches, but the body will only be 5.2 inches. While still maintaining a 4K resolution, it is also expected to provide HDR display effects.
Current reports indicate that the Xperia XZ2 will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. The phone will maintain IP65/68 water and dust resistance and support dual-SIM dual standby, but whether it will include any other new features remains to be seen.

However, the actual specifications will remain to be confirmed upon Sony's official announcement.
As for the actual release time, Sony expects to unveil the Xperia XZ2018 in the first half of 2, but the specific time may still fall during MWC 2018. CES 2018 is expected to still focus on the announcement of new TVs and audio-visual equipment.
