    Rumours: Sony Xperia Z4 and Z4 Ultra tech specs leaked?

    Although both Sony Xperia Z4 and Xperia Z4 Ultra are expected to be announced only in January at CES 2015, we have already come across the tech specs of these devices. Latest rumors suggest that the Xperia Z4 features a 5.4 inch Quad HD Triluminous display along with the powerful Snapdragon 805 SoC. There will be 4GB RAM onboard and a 20.7MP camera at the back.

The company will also upgrade the front camera to a 4.8MP wide angle sensor, which makes the device more selfie friendly. It is said that the Z4 will come with 3420 mAh sized battery.

    The newly released Sony Xperia Z3 Compact offers a number of great tech specs and features in a small package that can easily fit into your pocket. While these features include the 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB RAM and 20.7MP rear camera with IP67 water proofing, it turns out that the 2600 mAh battery is also worthy of praise. This is because recent battery life benchmarks place the Xperia Z3 Compact around the top in terms of battery life on single charge. At 10 hours or so of continuous heavy usage, the Xperia Z3 Compact can easily last 2 days without having to charge on normal usage. Checking out the competition, it easily beats the much larger Apple iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy S5 and even it's bigger brother the Sony Xperia Z3.

  • Rumours: Sony Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 and SmartBand Talk pictures appear

    Rumours: Sony Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 and SmartBand Talk pictures appear

    Just a few more hours before the Sony IFA 2014 reveal and nice looking press renders of the Sony Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact have appeared. While the Xperia Z3 doesn't look that different in terms of design, it could be bringing some refreshed hardware but even then, this is limited to the processor and a few other tech specs. From the press renders, the Xperia Z3 could also be offering a number of different colour options including black, copper gold, jade green and white. The Xperia Z3 Compact may also come in black, green, red and white with the only difference being the smaller 4.5-inch or 4.6-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution and smaller battery. The refreshed 2.5GHZ Snapdargon 801 processor and 20.7MP rear camera should remain the same. Both are rumoured to have a higher water certification standard perhaps at IP68. Still no Malaysia release dates or pricing, but we should know more in the next 10 or so hours.

  • Sony Xperia Z3 listing at TENAA reveals tech specs + higher water resistance?

    Sony Xperia Z3 listing at TENAA reveals tech specs + higher water resistance?

    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.

    Rumours: Sony Xperia Z3 taken apart?

    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.
