The Xperia A Edge has only a small bezel on the top of the phone, which is presumably there to house the front-facing camera and earpiece.

Sony doesn't have a bezel-less smartphone yet and this is a trend that sort of picked up in 2017 and will most likely continue in 2018. However, that could soon change after an allegedly leaked photo of the Sony Xperia A Edge showed a full-screen display with very minute bezels.[caption id="attachment_4278845" align="alignleft" width="380"]Xperia A Edge.

Ithome[/caption]As is seen in the photo from Ithome, the Xperia A Edge has only a small bezel on the top of the phone, which is presumably there to house the front-facing camera and earpiece. The rest of the body is quite bezel-free giving the phone a very high screen-to-body ratio. The screen appears to be 6-inch in size and could have a 4K display as seen on the Xperia XZ.[caption id="attachment_4278849" align="alignnone" width="581"]Xperia A Edge. Ithome Xperia A Edge.

The device appears to have a full-metal body with dual-cameras on the rear. The design also appears to be quite a departure from Sony's traditional rectangular design.Alongside this, we also see a photo where the different colour variants of the phone are visible, namely white, blue, black and brown.[caption id="attachment_4278851" align="alignnone" width="600"]Xperia A Edge.

It could most definitely house the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and come with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box. A possible unveiling of the device should reportedly be around mid-April 2018.
