Just after Sony launched the Xperia Z3 here in the Philippines, we’re now introduced to the first leak of its successor’s specifications among other interesting information. Scroll past the break for the details.
The Xperia Z3 during its local launch.
According to AndroidOrigin’s reliable sources, the previously-rumored Xperia Z3X isn’t really in the works. Instead, the company is now prepping to release an Xperia Z4 by March of 2015. In addition, we could be expecting only one flagship for the whole year next year – meaning the company is veering away from releasing bi-annual flagships like what it did with the previous Xperias.
Sony Xperia Z4 leaked specs:
5.5-inch QHD display @ 2560 x 1440 resolution
2.8GHz Snapdragon 810 64-bit octa-core processor
Adreno 430 GPU
4GB RAM
32GB starting storage
20.7MP rear camera with curved Exmor RS CMOS sensor
LTE Cat.6
Bluetooth 4.1
Omni-balance design
Dedicated sound amplifier
What do you think about these specs? Also, what can you say about Sony’s possible new strategy of just releasing one flagship per year? Yay or nay? The comment box awaits.

this is a very good reason for me to hold on to my z2 til next year and skip the minor upgrades from z3. NICE SONY!
It only proves that Sony’s bi-annual release of flagship strategy depreciates the value of an existing flagship thus, losing them profit and it reached a point of saturation where there is almost no major incremental upgrade to an existing flagship like the z2 to z3 upgrade. Then if its true, Z4 is one major leap with both hardware and software(android lollipop). Incorporating their z3v qi wireless charging and a fast charging like nexus 6, to the above specs will totally wipe the competition. Im excited to upgrade to z4.
Chery Mobile ang peg ng Sony Mobile hehehe..
bakit kaya ganyan strategy nila ngayon…hmmm
Go Sony!
Yep. Sony indeed announced that they will launch a new flagship every 6 months. The Philippines is quite “lucky” since Sony launches their product in the local market within a month from announcement.
If you have plans to buy the Z3, get it. A very capable phone. The snapdragon 801 is very capable and best paired with a 1080p resolution for speed. The only practical advantage the z4 will have is the 32GB storage. I hate microSD cards.
If you come and think about it, its one indication that technology is really excelling.
1 word: HOPEFULLY! and oh btw, they should add an OIS for what they said that there will feature a “new camera” for Z4, hope that they add an OIS aside from their current camera features.
OMG! sony why? what the hell you r doing to us?
im just planning to buy z3!
is this a sign that z3 is not selling?
1 flagship per year is more logical, consumers have more time to think about buying the model before it gets replaced by a new one, while current owners of the model won’t feel ripped off when a new model comes out in just 6 months.
Yay for me.Skipped the Z2 for the Z3 specs. At least,something to ponder on buying it by the 4th quarter of next year. For me, 32gb internal storage is way better than the current default storage of 16gb.just my thoughts…
oh snap, sana di na malugi sony neto napaka halimaw na netong phone na to tameme note 4
Chinachallenge ang Samsung sa dalas ng labas ng flagship phones haha.. Next year will be the year of 64bit processors.
@d dapat magtumbling ka nlng
Masmagandang 1 flagship per year.. kesa sa quarterly.. para ma feel ng users na sulit pagbili nila. hindi katulad ngayon, parang nakakapanghinayang bumili ng z2 or z3 kasi alam mo may lalabas na bago ult
Dapat gawin nilang quarterly (4x a year) ang release para mas masaya. Kulang and 2x a year lang ang pag labas nila ng bagong phone
For real, Sony?
