Sony Xperia Z4 Specifications

Well, chances are we’ll see the Xperia Z4 a lot
sooner than you might think, because Sony has
kicked off a six monthly cycle for its top-of-the-
range smartphones. That means the Z4 could
be on sale as early as February 2015, and
rumours, speculation and leaks concerning the
phone are already beginning to circulate. We’ve
rounded them all up on this page, and will be
updating it as more emerge.

Screen:

Rumours are strongly tipping Sony to go all out
with the Xperia Z4’s screen: according to
PhoneArena, it will come sporting a 5.4in (or
possibly 5.5in ) display with a QHD 2560 x 1440
resolution and the same Triluminos wide colour
gamut technology as previous Xperia Z phones.
There are already several phones with a QHD
screen (in the UK, there’s the Samsung Galaxy
Note 4, LG G3 and Google Nexus 6), so this
doesn’t seem far-fetched at all.

Power And Battery:

Initial rumours suggested the Z4 might be
getting the long-awaited Qualcomm Snapdragon
810 processor, but now it appears the slighty-
less-powerful-but-still-pretty-beefy Snapdragon
805 is getting the nod. The 805 is used in the
likes of the Google Nexus 6 and Samsung
Galaxy Note 4, so we’d expect the Sony Z4’s
performance to be in the same ballpark as
these two (very powerful) handsets.
It’s also tipped for 4GB of RAM, which some
might think a tad unnecessary for a current
smartphone (mainly because of the increase to
cost it could entail). The phone will run
Android 5.0 Lollipop, which has a 64-bit kernel
supporting 4GB, so it does make some sense. As
for storage, one report suggests 32GB will be
the standard capacity.
Reportedly, the battery will have a 3420mAh
capacity. If that’s true, you can expect the Z4
to offer similar endurance to the impressively
long-lasting Z3. We’ll take that.

Design And Build

Sony’s Xperia range has always offered a
strong, unified design language and leaked
shots of the Z4 suggest it won’t be rocking the
boat – this is a phone that looks a lot like the
Xperia handsets already out there. That means
we can expect superb build quality, plenty of
metal and glass, and high levels of protection
against dust and water.
Small changes are expected, however: rounder
corners, and thinner bezels at the top and
bottom of the screen.

Camera

The word on the street (i.e. the internet) is
that the Sony Xperia Z4 will come with a
20.7MP camera. And while that’s the same
number of megapixels as the current Z3’s
(excellent) camera, it seems that Sony isn’t
resting on its photographic laurels. The Z4 may
sport the company’s newly announced IMX230
Exmor RS sensor , which offers speedy 192-point
autofocus and real-time HDR, as well as two
extra lens elements for sucking in more light,
which would be a worthy upgrade.
The front camera is tipped for improvement
too: it may be a 4.8MP snapper with a wide-
angle lens (and therefore better for selfies).

It Is Expected To Arrive Markets on March 2015
