Sony plans to announce its next Xperia phone on April 14

Sony Corporation is planning to launch its latest model of Xperia phone on April 14, this year. According to The Verge, Sony has, in a very low-key way, just announced that its upcoming Xperia event will be on April 14 (via Droid-Life). The news has been obtained from the Xperia YouTube channel's banner, where it lays out that there will be a new product announcement happening at 4:30 PM Japan Standard Time that's 3:30 AM EST, or 12:30 AM PT. The standard gives no genuine clues with regards to what will be declared, yet there have been a couple of bits of gossip gliding around one about another model, the Xperia 1 III, and one about the arrival of the Xperia Compact, which could wind up being an Android answer to the iPhone Mini.
