sony xperia z4 | Gavin's Gadgets & Photography

Sony has just announced the Xperia Z4 in Japan, and its near identical to the outgoing Z3. It does have a few improvements though.

The Xperia Z4 is 6.9-mm-thick (0.4mm thinner than the Z3) , weighs 144g (8g lighter than the Z3) clad in a metal and glass body, includes a 5.2-inch 1080p LCD screen, a 20.7-megapixel camera, a 2930mAh battery (17 hours talk time over 3g is claimed), a 2GHz 8-core 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor, and 3GB of RAM, running Android 5.0 Lollipop and is water- and dust-resistant, IPX5/IP68 and IP6X with no flaps over the USB port too.

The front camera is 5.1mp with a 25mm wide angle affair. The photo editing allows for plentiful face and skin touch ups, and adding AR effects too. The rear camera is the same 20.3m G Sensor but with ISO settings up to 12,800. Shame there is still no optical image stabilisation but Sony did add a cooking mode! The Z4 offers LDAC high quality wireless playback.
