After launching the Xperia Z4 in Japan
last month, it appears Sony is preparing
to launch the smartphone outside of the
country as well - in Hong Kong and
Taiwan.
As per reports, media in Hong Kong and
Taiwan have received invites for launche
next week, with the Taiwan event
scheduled for Wednesday, the Hong Kon
event scheduled for Thursday. While the
invite fails to mention exactly which
handset will be announced, it is
speculated that Sony will launch its
recently released Xperia Z4 alongside th
selfie-focused Xperia C4 and Xperia Z4
Tablet.
The Hong Kong invite talks about the
"the new Xperia flagship" and mentions,
"Top camera, screen, sound, water and
design all rolled into one," as per Xperia
Blog. Also noted is that Sony is also
sending four of its product development
engineers to explain the design of the
new devices. Notably, Sony India has
also sent invites for an event in New Del
on Tuesday, however, with the invite
focusing on the waterproof feature, it
possible the company only launches the
Xperia M4 Aqua and the Xperia Z4
Tablet, both unveiled at MWC 2015.
As reported earlier, since the Xperia Z4
model that was introduced in Japan was
a very minor refresh over the Xperia Z3
(with changes only to the front-facing
camera and processor), it was expected
to be a Japan-only refresh, one that ma
launch in global markets as the Xperia
Z3+. The actual Xperia Z4 for global
markets is only expected to launch in th
second half of the year.
The Sony Xperia Z4 features a 5.2-inch
full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) Triluminos
display and much like recent flagship
handsets is powered by a 64-bit octa-
core (quad-core 1.5GHz + quad-core
2GHz) Qualcomm Snapdragon 810
processor coupled with 3GB of RAM.
The smartphone retains the 20.7-
megapixel autofocus rear camera of its
predecessor and bumps up the front-
facing camera to a 5.1-megapixel
offering. The handset includes 32GB of
inbuilt storage, which is further
expandable via microSD card (up to
128GB). The Sony Xperia Z4 is backed b
a 2930mAh battery.
