The Sony Xperia 5 Plus was expected to be launched at the Mobile World Congress this year. Unfortunately, the event was canceled over fears of the novel coronavirus in Wuhan affecting a lot of planned launches of a handful of gadgets.
Fortunately, Sony is apparently bent on launching its latest flagship with or without the MWC 2020. In fact, the new model will be unveiled very soon based on the company’s social media post.
