Sony introduced its 2015 flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z4

Sony today introduced its next generation flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z4 in its home country Japan. Fourth in the series, the smartphone shares the design cues with its predecessor, Xperia Z3 but features latest specifications.

Xperia Z4 is powered by a 64-bit octa-core (quad-core 1.5GHz + quad-core 2GHz) Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset with a support of 3GB RAM for multitasking. It features a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) Triluminos display with Sony's X-Reality mobile picture engine.

We were quite impressed with the camera performance of Xperia Z3 and are excited to test the camera module on the latest smartphone. Xperia Z4 features a rear camera with similar pixel count, i.e 20.7 MP autofocus but with 1/2.3-inch Exmor RS BSI sensor, Bionz image processor, and a pulsed LED flash. The front camera gets a bump from the 2.2 MP on Z3 to a 5.1-megapixel with Exmor R BSI sensor with a 25mm wide angle lens.

Enclosed in a metal frame, the smartphpone includes 32GB of inbuilt storage that can be further expanded up to 128GB via microSD card. The smartphone is backed by a 2930mAh battery. The smartphone also integrates high-resolution audio with LDAC compression technology.

Xperia Z4 will be available in White, Black, Copper and a new color-Aqua Green. It will  be available in Japan starting this summer, but there is no word for its pricing and the global launch. We will update about these in the coming week.
