اکسپریا Z4 ، هیولایی که قرار است تا یک سال پرچم سونی را بالا نگه دارد

Sony is rumored to be abandoning its six-monthly, high-end smartphone release pattern for a more traditional annual refresh, and it could start with the Xperia Z4. According to a report published by AndroidOrigin.com, the new flagship phone will come during Mobile World Congress next year, and will stay with us for a year. To ensure the new phone is desirable for a longer period of time, Sony is apparently preparing to stuff the Xperia Z4 full of the latest tech, should the rumors prove accurate.

The Xperia Z3’s 5.2-inch display could be swapped over for a 5.5-inch screen on the Z4, and the resolution increased to 2560 x 1440, matching the LG G3. In a recent interview, Sony’s head of marketing said the Xperia Z3 didn’t adopt a “quad HD” resolution because the difference between it and an optimized 1080p panel were minimal, especially on anything less than 8-inches in size. It also mentioned battery life as a consideration. Presumably, the G3’s success and the Galaxy Note 4’s introduction have helped change its mind.

Power could be provided by Qualcomm’s next big chip, the 64-bit Snapdragon 810, which has eight cores and a clock speed of 2.8GHz. A massive 4GB of RAM is also mentioned, along with 32GB of internal storage space. Qualcomm announced the 810 back in April, and stated the processor would find its way inside smartphones by the first half of 2015. The Z4’s camera may retain its 20.7 megapixel count, but feature an improved lens and sensor array, to produce better pictures.

Finally, Sony is likely to stick with its popular Omni-balance design language for the Xperia Z4, according to the report’s anonymous source. This means it probably won’t look all that different to the Xperia Z3 or the Xperia Z2. Its was never the looks that dampened our enthusiasm for the Xperia Z3, but the relatively basic alterations between it and the Xperia Z2. That doesn’t sound like it’ll be the case for the Z4, or something we’ll have to contend with from Sony again.
