Shape Of Sony Xperia Z

The main attraction of this phone would be its 5 inches, 1920 x1080 px 440 ppi display. Most probably the display technology will be IPS panel protected with Gorilla Glass II. 5 inch displays has become the sweet point in latest 1080p display phones such as Oppo Find 5 and HTC Droid DNA.

The hardware platform will be Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro which is the most popular and powerful chipset available. It will be configured with 1.5 GHz Quad Core CPU, standard Adreno 320 GPU and 2 GB RAM. They might do a difference in expandable storage by letting you plug microSD cards up to 128 GB.

Primary shooter will be a 12 MP one with LED flash, HRD and 1080p@30fps video recording. We have already seen 5 MP front facing camera in Oppo Ulike 2. But this one would be sitting around 2 MP.

When it comes to connectivity this will have all the standard features in Snapdragon Platform including NFC and LTE. Dual band Wi-Fi would be great addition to stand out the competition.

The version of Android comes with this would be 4.1.2 JB. The chances of having 4.2 JB is very lesser in the initial launch. Apparently Sony has decided to remove capacitive buttons and go for Nexus style on screen buttons. Everything would be wrapped up with a dust and water resistant body which is one of the unique features for Xperia series.

Another major concern here is battery life. This gigantic super resolution display will drain out the battery in no time. So I’m expecting at least 2750 mAh battery. Since the phone is huge they have no reason to not to include huge battery.

Wrapping Up

When you look at the hardware configuration, camera, connectivity and OS there is nothing really amazing. There are many other phones in the market which already have all those.

But the hook here would be 5 inches 1080p display. Again it’s not really a brand new feature. So as it seems Sony Xperia will have to work hard to stand out in the competition. Dust and water resistant body would be a good trump card to play.
