The Xperia Z4 is expected to launch this summer in Japan, but Sony did not announce a U.S. arrival date.
Sony today quietly unveiled its new high-end Xperia Z4 smartphone, featuring an aluminum frame and 5.2-inch screen.
Expected to launch in Japan later this summer, the Z4 sports a 25mm wide-angle front-facing camera and high-quality wireless music playback. Inside is a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor running Android 5.0 Lollipop—all powered by a 2,930mAh battery, for 17 hours of talk time.
A water- and dust-proof design makes it easy to shoot videos of the kids in the tub or snap photos during your friend's swim meet. Additionally, the smartphone includes new features like better automatic camera lighting and photo style preference.
Consumers can also pick up the Xperia-specific window case, available soon from the Xperia or Sony store for 7,000 yen ($59); choose from white, copper, black, or aqua green.
The smartphone has the same name as its 10-inch tablet, which features a 2K LCD screen a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, and a 6,000mAh battery.
The device is a follow-up to Sony's Xperia Z3, which arrived last fall at the IFA trade show in Berlin, and hit T-Mobile and Verizon shortly thereafter.
In the market for a more midrange smartphone? Sony in February launched the Xperia E4 handset, with a 2,300mAh battery for up to two days of power on a single charge. Available in black or white, the 5-inch mobile phone is not on sale in the U.S., but promises consumers 8GB of storage, a 960-by-540-pixel resolution, and Android 5.0 Lollipop running on a 1.3GHz quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM.
