Sony Ericsson had released the Xperia Play in the year of 2011 and it also got some good reviews. But after that, the company has not announced any successor of that phone. Now after 9 long years, Sony has surfaced an Xperia Play 2 prototype on Alibaba’s second-hand marketplace, Idle Fish. The main highlight of the Xperia Play model was its slide-out gamepad, considering a vast improvement over the Nokia N-Gage that came out eight years prior.
According to the prototype, the Xperia Play 2 looks like a more refined and improved version than its predecessor. It shows that the upcoming device features shoulder buttons, along with a 3D button. As of now, the use of this 3D button is still not cleared, but it may have been similar to the stereoscopic effect that the 3DS achieved. These are some of the little things which are known yet about the upcoming Sony Xperia Play 2.
Smartphone gaming in this generation has been improved quite a lot. There are a huge number of high-end games on the list. So, we can assume that a device like the Xperia Play 2 could sell well today, particularly if it could tap into PlayStation Now or Xbox Game Streaming. In most of the cases, gamers feel a bit problem while using normal phone touch for gaming. That’s why external gamepads are very popular nowadays in the market. But most of the time, those gamepads fail to serve the gamer. Regarding this issue, a PlayStation-inspired smartphone could prove successful. As it will feature a sliding gamepad which is far more improved than the previous one, gamers will definitely get the feel of PlayStation gaming.
