Sony Xperia Z4 Release Date, Specs News: More Than One Version to Appear?
Most phone manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, and LG launch one flagship phone per year, whereas Sony prefers to update its smartphones biannually. But now, new rumors suggest the Xperia Z4 will be the only flagship phone to appear from Sony this year. Furthermore, passing Japanese certification authorities hints at an upcoming release date, plus rumors of more than one version of the Z4 emerge.
According to a source that contacted Phone Arena, the Xperia Z4 will have slimmer top and bottom bezels, as well as more rounded corners. The phone is said to be a 5.5-inch phablet and have a mirrored front and rear, and will reportedly be available in white, black, and yellow.
There has been much speculation about the Z4's screen size. Early rumors hinted that the screen would be 5.5 inches, while another rumor suggested that the screen will be slightly smaller at 5.4 inches. However, the latest rumors claim that Sony will be sticking with the 5.2 inch screen. There is speculation that the screen will get a boost from 1080p resolution to 1440 x 2560.
The phone is expected to have a 2.8GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa core processor and 4GB of RAM. Storage will be set at 32GB, which can be expanded with a micro SD card.
As seen with the Xperia Z3, rumors suggest that the Z4 could come with another version specially designed for music enthusiasts. The device is dubbed as the Sony Xperia Z4 Music, following Sony Japan's leak of a render which shows the phone.
The Sony Xperia Z4 is expected to launch at the Mobile World Congress 2015, which will run from March 2 to 5. The phone is also rumored to have a product placement in the upcoming James Bond movie, "Spectre," and that James Bond actor Daniel Craig and director Sam Mendes will have some input on the design.
