Sony’s Xperia Z5 rumored to launch September, Snapdragon 820, 4GB RAM inside

The reviews for the Sony Xperia Z4 were pretty underwhelming, especially with that weird “Japan only” market release. We kinda understand it now, in the wake of the overheating troubles of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. We want to believe that the stories are not true, but all evidences seem to prove otherwise. That may be the starting point of this new rumor that Sony will put out all Xperia Z5 devices in September – that is, the Sony Xperia Z5, the Xperia Z5 compact, and the Xperia Z5 Ultra.

The rumors say that the new flagship – which if true, will be coming out the same year the Xperia Z4 did (quite unheard of, but certainly has fuel behind it) – will be packing the new Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4GB of RAM, an all-new fingerprint scanner (something Sony hasn’t done yet), and a mighty 4,500mAh battery.

There is no information yet on the display, or if there will be changes aesthetically to the flagships. You will remember that there was very little to separate the Xperia Z3 and the Z4 aesthetically – although the teardown did show lots of changes internally. The rear camera on the Xperia Z5 is rumored to be the latest 21MP Sony Exmor RS IMX230 CMOS.

Some early rumors in April also put a USB Type-C port on the Xperia Z5, although there is nothing to confirm these rumors as of now. Don’t put your hopes up too much, you Xperia fans out there. But one thing is for sure, this points to better Xperia phones soon.
