The most recent Sony flagship smartphone available in the Philippines is the Sony Xperia XZ2. The Japanese company has still not yet brought any new of their flagship smartphones in the country until these reports came.

We have reached out to Sony Philippines already, but unfortunately, the have not given us any word about this matter. We hope Sony is just preparing something for us instead of leaving the Philippine market since they have been producing very nice and efficient products for the Filipinos.
