Sony (NYSE: SNE) recently introduced the Xperia 5, a new premium Android phone that will launch in October for about $900. The 6.1-inch device is basically a smaller version of last year's Xperia 1, which had a 6.5-inch screen and cost about $950.
Both devices sport 21:9 aspect ratio displays, which are wider than the standard 16:9 and 18:9 screens found on most other smartphones. Sony notes that the Xperia 5 supports wireless PS4 controllers and that the feature will be added to the Xperia 1 in the near future.
During a press conference in Berlin, Sony senior executive VP Shigeki Ishizuka stated that the phone would work with Epic Games' Fortnite -- and that he was "excited to see the growing trend of esports evolving to the mobile space." However, the Xperia 5 probably won't excite Sony's investors since it's just a remix of some dated ideas.
