Sony's upcoming smartphone is one of those trending handset's from the list, that has been surfacing on the internet for a while, which has now appeared on a tipster's YouTube channel, where he seem to be reviewing the phone at a real good course.
The 12 minutes video with the guest, D6503 (prototype), gives us a clear look at the unannounced smartphone's both hardware and software specifications, also telling us about what the Japanese phone maker has got new in their bags for an expected launch at this year's Mobile World Congress trade show, later this month. The internally codenamed Sirius also known as D6503 is rumored to be the company's 2014 flagship handset and their Xperia Z1 successor model, reportedly named as Z2 or so.
So, from the device's hardware, on the phone's left hand side, we see the ports are now secured with a single door, made of plastic, shifting the unit's latch opening to the down left corner, than from the traditional right side. The whole structural design resembles the previously announced Sony Xperia Z1, again siting the magnetic pin connectors towards the same end, featuring the microSD card slot and all other physical buttons on right.
From the software department, the new phone's boot and unlock animation too seems to be tweaked by Sony, giving us a refreshment, where the device accompanies both their "Xperia Home" and "Simple Home" (with larger icons and fonts), launcher experience, attributing Android's latest version 4.4.2 KitKat, as exactly suggested from the past. Other highlights from the video, are the "Smart call handling" quality, allowing users to answer the incoming call by placing the phone to your ears, and rejecting them by a shake. Also pacing a "Glove mode", LG's KnockOn like "Tap to wake up" feature, "Smart backlight control", capability to connect high resolution audio via USB, new ringtones, "Answering Machine", a dedicated "What's New" app and 4K Video recording over a 20.7 megapixels lens. A better way to understand more, might be watching the leaked footage yourself.
