Going by the rumors making the rounds recently, Sony could officially unveil a new flagship Xperia phone(Sony H8266), expected to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform coupled with Adreno 640 GPU. But that may look less likely at the moment given there are reports of Samsung reserving all the entire first batch of the latest mobile platform for its upcoming flagship Galaxy S9.
