While Sony last week quietly launched it
Xperia Z4 smartphone in Japan with no
word on its global release, a new report
now indicates the smartphone will be
launched with the Xperia Z3+ moniker
outside Japan - in line with reports that
the Xperia Z4 is not the company's 201
flagship for global markets, and the real
flagship is reportedly due to be launched
by the end of May.

The Sony Xperia Z4 smartphone is a
minor upgrade over the Xperia Z3, with
most specifications matching apart from
the front-facing camera and processor. I
is said that since the handset is similar i
most aspects with its predecessor, it is
not really a flagship model, hence the
name Xperia Z3+. The name comes from
Sony SCR30 Style Cover Window
accessory description which was spotte
by Russian site Mobiltelefon ( via
GSMArena) to mention support for "Xperi
Z4/Z3+"

The Sony Xperia Z3+ global variant is
reported to be identical to the Xperia Z4,
in terms of design and specifications.
The price and availability details of the
smartphone outside Japan have not
been tipped.

The Xperia Z4's launch came almost
seven months after the Sony Xperia Z3's
launch at IFA in September, indicating
that the company is eitherunsure about
its new one-year flagship cycle, or is yet
to launch its flagship.

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.

The Xperia Z4 include an IPX5/IPX8
equivalent certification, which makes the
phone waterproof, and an IP6X
certification making it a dustproof devic
The smartphone will be available in
White, Black, Copper, Aqua Green. It
measures 146x72x6.9mm and weighs
144 grams.
