The Sony Xperia Z3 just can't stop being leaked it seems as it has recently appeared at China's TENAA with some pictures and tech specs. It appears that early rumours about the same tech specs as the Sony Xperia Z2 appear to be true with the only major difference being a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor. Other tech specs include 3GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, microSD support, a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with full HD 1080p resolution, 20.7MP rear camera and 2MP front camera. One other feature that could be different is the water resistant certification. The Xperia Z2 was certified with an IP58 certification which means that the device can be under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes. Recent teasers for the Sony IFA 2014 event reveal that it could be able to go as low as 2 meters, signifying that the Xperia Z3 will have a much higher water resistance certification. No Malaysia release dates or pricing yet but the Xperia Z3 is expected to be revealed soon at the upcoming IFA 2014.

While it is set to be officially announced on 3 September 2014 at the upcoming IFA 2014 event, the Sony Xperia Z3 has appeared in some newly leaked pictures, apparently of it being taken apart. The leaked pictures confirm that the design is the only feature that seems to have been changed as asides from the shiny metal power button, everything else is matte black. Tech specs and features don't appear to have changed much from the Sony Xperia Z2 as the Sony Xperia Z3 is said to be packing the same Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, 20.7MP camera and 5.2-inch display with full HD resolution. There doesn't seem to be anything else different asides from the 3100 mAh battery which is 100 mAh less than before. No news yet on Malaysia release dates or pricing but we should find out more in the next week.

A device going by the model name of Sony D6653 recently appeared on AnTuTu with a score of 37169, which is quite high, all things considered. Rumours say that this Sony D6653 could be the Sony Xperia Z3, as Sony itself has been quoted as saying that they will come out with a new flagship smartphone every 6 months. The timing therefore fits almost perfectly as the Sony Xperia Z2 was introduced in February 2014. This would make August the 6th month after the Sony Xperia Z2 was introduced. While it is still unknown if the Sony D6653 is actually the Sony Xperia Z3, it stands to reason that the next such high-powered smartphone from Sony would be the Sony Xperia Z3. Rumoured tech specs for the Sony D6653 includes Android 4.4.4 and possibly a quad-core Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC processor. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details were available but if these rumours are true, we could see the Sony Xperia Z3 reach us in September 2014.
