Rumors of a new Sony smartphone are making the rounds online. The Japanese multinational company is said to be working on a new mid-range device that is called the Sony Xperia C6.

The mid-range C series has gained a reputation of producing quality selfie photos. It's likely that Sony is planning to continue this model, based on the reported leaked images.

According to several media outlets, photos of the device have been leaked which show that the Xperia C6 has a 6-inch screen display and large front cameras perfect for capturing self-portraits. What's more interesting is that there is also a front flash to help take better selfies in low-light conditions.

Sony has unveiled different smartphone models earlier this year at the 2016 Mobile World Congress but the Xperia C6 is not in the lineup. However, it is believed that the Xperia C6 is the successor to the Xperia C5 Ultra.

When it comes to camera specifications, the C5 Ultra had 13 megapixels of resolution for the front camera with an LED flash. It is speculated that not a lot of improvements will be applied to the C6, but since it has a bigger front-facing camera, it has a much larger sensor than the C5 Ultra. Additionally, the C6 is rumored to have an aperture of f/1.8 to achieve better-looking photos at night.

As for what's under the hood, rumors suggest that the C6 will run on a MediaTek processor. It is also said to have a 16 GB internal memory, plus an external storage capacity of 200 GB. Furthermore, the C6 is rumored to support dual SIM.

Previously, there were rumors that Sony will only focus on manufacturing high-end models, but since the likes of the Xperia Z5 cannot compete with Apple's iPhone series, although the device has impressive specs and features, the company is rumored to continue the mid-range lineup, according to Nashville Chatter Class.

As interesting as it may seem, these reports have not been confirmed by Sony, and until then, they should be taken with a pinch of salt.
