Sony's next flagship smartphone seems to be featured on the internet now, as we have couple of Chinese forum and social media websites posting some of the pictures of an upcoming Sony smartphone, which is allegedly reported as the Japanese company's next front runner smartphone, named Xperia Z3.
If these wordings of XPERIA blog are to be believed, the live hands on images that came indeed gives us a better look at the looming Sony smartphone, at all angles. And when we take a closer look the the photographs that leaked earlier yesterday, we can understand that, there isn't any kind of ground breaking changes made on the impending purported Sony Xperia Z3 smartphone, when compared to the current model, Xperia Z2. First and foremost the device here looks more curved on the edges, than the Sony made Xperia Z1or Z2 smartphones, reportedly making it more comfortable to hold, unlike the more flatter edges from the present bellwether Xperia branded smartphone.
Other changes in the phone's industrial design includes the re-positioning of it's speaker. We now have a single speaker instead of the stereo speakers as seen from the Xperia Z2, which has been placed on the left side of the smartphone, right below the magnetic connector. The unit will have it's microSD card slot, microSIM card slot and microUSB port covered with flaps, making it dust and water resistant, alongside the power button, volume up and down rockers and the dedicated camera shutter button on either sides of the smartphone. On the top of the handset sits the 3.5 millimeters headphone jack with the secondary microphone. Lastly from the back you will find the same 1/2.3-inches 20.7 megapixels primary camera with Sony's own Exmor RS sensor, G lens and LED flash light.
From the software side, we see the prototype handset model named as L55t, that's running Google's Android version 4.4.4 KitKat, with firmware build 23.0.G.0.98. The leaks real life pictures also confirms that the device will feature a Quad-Core Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 processor, clocked at 2.5GHz with an Adreno 330 graphics, again same as seen from the latterly announced Sony Xperia Z2 phone.
