Sony will unveil its latest smartphones and wearables at its IFA 2014 press event tomorrow. Rumours have already suggested that it will announce a number of smartphones including the Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact, a new smaller Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact tablet and a new SmartWatch powered by Android Wear (despite indications to the contrary earlier in the year). A day ahead of the event, it appears that the full specifications of the Xperia Z3 have been revealed courtesy of a specifications sheet taped to the back of a demo unit.
As expected, the Xperia Z3 will not be a major departure from its predecessor, the Xperia Z2, but there are nonetheless some differences. Here are its rumoured specifications:
- Processor: 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974AC)
- Cellular connectivity: LTE
- Display: 5.2-inch Full HD (1080×1920) TRILUMINOS
- RAM: 3GB
- Internal storage:16GB
- External storage: MicroSD cards
- Rear-facing camera: 20.7MP with Sony Exmor RS sensor with 4K video capture
- Front-facing camera: 2.2MP
- Dimensions: 146.5 × 72.4 × 7.5 millimeters
- Weight: 154 grams
- Colours: Black, White, Copper
- Other: Stereo speakers, dust and waterproof (IP55/IP58 rating)
Key differences under the hood are the slightly faster processor and the brighter display which now promises 600 nits of peak brightness. The Xperia Z3 is also slightly smaller, narrower and thinner.
It will not be long now before we know exactly what Sony Mobile has in mind for the rest of the year. We’ll bring you all the details tomorrow.
