Sony Xperia Z4 images leaked ahead of official announcement

Sony's much-awaited flagship smartphone Xperia Z4 has already leaked multiple times on the web. But, now new series of leaks have revealed what will the Z4 actually look like.

New leaked images reveal a new home button, which is actually a traditional house icon instead of traditional circle home button. The power button is placed at the right side of the phone. The button appears to be in the center of the side. Below are volume buttons, and at the bottom a dedicated camera button. The left side features SIM card and microSD card slots. On the top, we have headphone jack.

The images further reveal front facing speakers. The microUSB does not come with a plastic flip, keeping it exposed. Sony seems to have retained the glass-made rear in its next gen flagship phone. The rear carries logo of Sony's G-Lens tech. The Z4 is likely to use a single LED flash.

According to previous leaks, the Sony Xperia Z4 is likely to come with a 5.2-inch full HD display. But, there are rumours of a QHD display as well. Other rumoured specs include a Snapdragon 810 CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 20.7-megapixel rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front camera. The smartphone is likely to come with a S-Master HX Digital Audio is on-board, as well as IP68 certification.

The Xperia Z4 could be one of the last Sony smartphones as the company plans to exit the smartphone business in order to focus camera sensors and Playstations. According to reports, the company may not launch a Xperia Z5.

"A major reason could be the fact that flagship devices have reached a sort of saturation point and there aren't any huge advancements that can be made in a six-month period,” said a recent report on Sony's rumoured changed launch cycle.
