Sony Xperia Z4 Specs and Photos Leaked Online

Early this year, at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the folks at Sony claimed that, in order to survive and become relevant on the already overcrowded smartphone market, one company should release two flagships a year. And this is how the Japanese phone maker released their flagships over the past couple of years. In 2013 they unveiled the Xperia Z and the Xperia Z1, while in 2014 they brought us the Xperia Z2 and the Xperia Z3. Sticking to that pattern, Sony should release the Xperia Z4 at CES 2015 in January, followed by the Xperia Z5 at IFA 2015 in September.

Even though it was previously rumored that Sony would squeeze a Snapdragon 801 chipset under the hood of the Xperia Z4, Phone Arena writes, quoting an anonymous tipster, that the Japanese company is sticking to a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor. Even though Sony bashed the Android OEMs making the jump to Quad HD screens, saying there’s not much of a difference between a QHD display and a Full HD one, their next-gen flagship smartphone will reportedly arrive with a 5.4-inch Quad HD display. The same report also indicates that Z4 might also integrate 4 GB of RAM while running Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

According to the same anonymous tipster who provided information for Phone Arena, Sony will also introduce a 5.9-inch Xperia Z4 Ultra phablet at CES 2015. It seems that, aside from the display, Xperia Z4 Ultra might share many of the technical specifications of the Z4, being underpinned by the same Snapdragon 805 and 4 GB of RAM team. If the rumors prove true, the Z4 Ultra will be insanely thin, with a profile of only 5.7 mm.

Camera-wise, Sony will allegedly stick a 20.7 MP sensor. Anyway, it looks like we might be dealing with a new generation sensor called IMX2130. According to Phone Arena’s source the new sensor comes with image plane detection auto-focus technology and 192-point auto-focus. It seems though that the Xperia Z4 Ultra might not be equipped with the same main shooter. The Japanese company is reportedly working on a 16 MP sensor for the new phablet.

As usual, we are advising you to take the rumors with a pinch of salt, as there’s no way to verify the veracity of the information. After all, nothing is official until Sony says so.
