Earlier this month, Sony released the Xperia M4 at the Mobile World Congress 2015 and now it seems that the Japanese tech manufacturer is gearing up to release yet another mid-range smartphone. At least, some images that leaked online recently suggest so.

According to Christian Today, tipster @upleaks recently posted a series of supposedly live photographs on Twitter of a forthcoming Sony Xperia smartphone, which many believe may be the Sony Xperia Cosmos. According to the leaked photos, it seems that the upcoming handset will be a successor the Xperia C3 product line, which was launched in 2014. Incidentally, the Xperia C3 smartphone is the first and only Sony smartphone featuring a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with a LED flash.

The report further states that the leaked images of the purported Sony Xperia Cosmos are accompanied by a brief description of the product, which says that the device will run with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system. Moreover, the upcoming Sony handset is expected to be powered with an unnamed MediaTek processor.

The leaked images also come with a brief description of the product, saying that it will run with the newest Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system. It will also be powered with an undisclosed MediaTek processor.

It the leaked details turn out to be true, it will mean that the Xperia Cosmos will be the third smartphone from Sony featuring a MediaTek solution. The low-end Sony Xperia E4 and the Sony Xperia E4g, which is scheduled to be released soon, also pack Media Tek processors.

Provided the purported Sony Xperia Cosmos is similar to the Xperia C3, it is likely to sport a 5.5-inch to 6-inch display screen, in addition to an 8-megapixel primary rear facing shooter. The device may also incorporate a number of the basic specs that would enable it to compete with other existing mid-range phones from rival manufacturers.

Nevertheless, consumers can expect a minor improvement from the features of the Xperia C3, counting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset and the quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7.

As of now, no detail regarding the expected release date or actual product name of the purported Sony Xperia Cosmos is available.
