With the Xperia Z5 having only just been officially confirmed for the US market (albeit without a fingerprint sensor), you could be forgiven for assuming Sony won't announce anything at MWC in Barcelona this year. Turns out, you'd probably be wrong for doing so.

The Japanese tech giant is reportedly sending out invitations to an event which is due to take place at the main MWC venue, Fira Gran Via on Monday, February 22nd. According to the invitation published by XperiaBlog, the event is set to kick off at 8:30 Central European Time (2:30am Eastern).

We're not exactly sure what to expect from Sony in Barcelona this year. We'd like to see a new Android Wear smartwatch, perhaps one with a little more style than its current offering. As much as we're not ready to see the next Xperia Z generation yet, it wouldn't surprise us at all if Sony unveiled the Z6 (or slightly boosted version of the Z5). They might even announce the recently leaked C-series device.
