While Sony prepares to launch a new pair of smartphones at the IFA in Berlin on Sept. 2, the company's UK arm has posted a teaser on Twitter.
The somewhat blurry image of the smartphone is seen with a captured image on its display and the rest of the background also looking blurry. However, the caption seems to explain the reason for the blur.
"Get ready for a smartphone with greater focus. All will become clear on 02.09.2015," said Sony.

Although it may be natural for everyone to believe that the post is about the upcoming flagship from Sony, there's a strong possibility that the handset seen in the image could be nothing else but the Xperia Z5 Compact.
The Xperia Z5 Compact is expected to feature a 4.7-inch display while its bigger sibling will have a 5.5-inch screen. Both handsets are scheduled to be unveiled at the IFA in Berlin.
Judging from the way the smartphone is held between the user's two fingers, it gives the impression that the handset is the compact version.
Another information that can be deduced from the post is the fact that the soon-to-be-announced smartphone will have better autofocus. It even comes with the promise that the "blurry" image will soon become clear.
In short, the upcoming device from Sony will be equipped with a type of feature that will provide greater focus in capturing images and that all captured images will be clear. All of these can be achieved using the handset's hybrid autofocus system.
Apart from the said feature, the Xperia Z5 was also rumored in the past to come with a brand new design. However, the post suggests otherwise as it seems to bear the familiar OmniBalance design.
Other rumored specs and features include a touch-sensitive display that could either be a Quad HD display with 2560 by 1440 pixels or a full HD with 1080p, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, a RAM of either 3GB or 4GB, a 4,500mAh battery, a 5MP camera in the front, and a 20.7MP rear camera that comes with autofocus, 4K video recording and LED flash.
