Sony announces the xperia z4

Today Sony Mobile officially announced the Xperia Z4 on their Japanese website. The Xperia Z4 will be the company's flagship smartphone for 2015, sitting alongside Sony's flagship tablet which is called the Xperia Z4 Tablet. Based on the specifications provided by Sony, it certainly looks like they've done everything possible to make it fit that role with regards to its hardware. Thankfully, Sony's launch page gives pretty much every specification one could be interested in, and I've organized them in the chart below.

The specifications for the Z4 are certainly appealing. Potential speed and thermal issues relating to Snapdragon 810 aside, the Z4 packs what is basically the best internal hardware available for smartphone manufacturers at the moment. Snapdragon 820 won't be available until the second half of this year at the absolute earliest, and so MSM8994 paired with 3GB of RAM is the fastest you'll see in an Android smartphone that isn't the Galaxy S6.

What may be notable for some is the decision to stay with a 1920x1080 LCD. Given the issues with power consumption and brightness with current 2560x1440 LCD panels, and the relatively limited improvement to sharpness at this display size, I think that staying with a 1080p display was the right decision to make with the Z4.

Design wise, the Xperia Z4 bears a great deal of similarity to its predecessor, the Xperia Z3. While it's not a full metal unibody design, it does have a metal frame surrounding the outside of the device. At 6.9mm it is as thin as the iPhone 6 which is impressive. Sony has also been able to include one of their 20.7MP sensors without introducing a camera hump, although the compromise is its 25mm focal length. Like most of Sony's recent products, the Xperia Z4 has an IP65 / IP68 rating for dust and water protection, which is something that now differentiates it from the flagship devices offered by other manufacturers.

At the moment, Sony hasn't provided any information about when an international release of the Xperia Z4 can be expected. It follows that the price is also unknown, although one can guess that it will be around the same price as this year's other flagship devices.

Sony Xperia Z4 through the FCC certification

Unlike previous years, this year's MWC Sonydid not look like the outside world as a new generation flagship phone, cameforward after the company executives explained that the new machine willcontinue to maintain a year release cycle, it seems most likely to be inadvance, and recently a suspected Xperia Z4 phone by the US Federalcommunications Commission (FCC) certification.

There are no guarantees in life. When it comes to mobile devices, just because a previous iteration of a flagship device packed specific hardware (a micro SD card slot and/or removable battery for instance) doesn’t always guarantee the next model will have the same. And if the Samsung Galaxy S6 taught us anything, it’s that long revered hardware features can up and leave in a moment’s notice.

You can search "PM-078X" on FCC'swebsite, although there is no clear explanation of how to configure, butaccording to the 146 × 73 mm body, the firmware version number 26.1.A.0.79,plus on a real machine with the previous frame and the front right cornerrenderings fit SD card slot, which can be confirmed that these phones is theXperia Z4 different operators version.

Be all that as it may, we’re hyped about Sony’s next flagship smartphone. Initially we though we could be a ways offfrom a Sony Xperia Z4 launch, but a new Sony device that recently passed through the FCC — packing almost the same dimensions as the previous SonyXperia Z3 — could suggest we’re closer to a launch than we previously thought.While the FCC documentation doesn’t reveal too many surprises (the device in question is packing a nice amount of frequency bands to support US networks),it did manage to confirm the existence of the micro SD card slot on the device.

We know, it’s nothing groundbreaking, butsometimes it’s nice to have solid confirmation. Not only that, this could givea little peace of mind to Android fans who felt slighted by Samsung removingthe SD card in the Galaxy S6. With FCC certification, we imagine it wont be too much longer before Sony makes it official.
