Most Sony Xperia fans are still hoping for a flagship unveiling at the Mobile World Congress 2015 from Sony, although spirits have been dampened somewhat by rumors that the Sony Xperia Z4 won’t be launched at the Barcelona trade show but will be pushed back to a mid-year launch date. Of course, nothing is sure, and this leak of possible Xperia Z4 front panels might just give people some hope.
This is reportedly the first leak of the Sony Xperia Z4 front panels – although leakers usually would like to claim they were first. From these pictures, if legit, we can see that Sony is really standing by their design language and has not made any radical changes to the look of the device – at least the front panel. It looks like the same dual front speakers will still be present.
It also looks like Sony will be staying with the 5.2-inch screen, if this Xperia Z4 leak be true. Other rumors have speculated on the specs – either a Snapdragon 805 or a Snapdragon 810 processor, but we will seriously question the choice of a lower processor if the 810 is ready for primetime. There’s also the 3GB RAM and a spanking new camera sensor.
Would you still buy this baby if it looks quite the same as a Sony Xperia Z3? That can be a deal-breaker for some. Tell us your thoughts on the comments section below.

I’ve read rumors that the z4 will have 4GB of RAM…oh well, who knows. I have the Z2 now and love it. I won’t upgrade to the Z4 unless it has 4GB of RAM.
I quite like everything with the Z3 but it was troublesome to load up a customer rom but apparently that has now been fixed. Unfortunately it took so long now we have a Z4 on the way. Hopefully this is easier to root and load up a customer rom without it destroying the camera, if that’s the case and it remains waterproof etc I’m buying it day 1.
I am hoping to buy the Z4 and will even move carriers if I have to. Not many US carriers carry this brand. It will be a huge upgrade to my Samsung Galaxy III. I hope it releases soon, my current phone is barely working and I will need to be replaced within the next two months. If not available by then I will probably just need to compromise and buy something that works like the new HTC or new Samsung. I do however prefer to support Sony. The more people that support them the more money they will make. Hopefully this will allow them to continue to make quality smartphones. It would be really sad to see them stop making these phones. The more competition there are among manufacturers the better off us consumers will be.
I currently have a gs4 and can’t wait to upgrade to the z4. My only concern is that if it is already built (it was supposedly shown in private at ces) and Sony waits 4-6 months to release it, will it have outdated specs for a flagship ?
If the Z4 has nearly the same specs as my Z3 there is absolutely no need to upgrade. I had the Z1s and now the Z3. I’ll just hold on to this if the hardware isn’t out of the park worth it.
