Wrap Up
This Android-powered device will definitely be the flagship. According to Taiwan’s E Price, noted earlier credible leaks about new gadgets, the dimensions will be approximately the same as the current flagship Xperia Z, which is due to screen size – 5 inches, with a resolution of Full HD. The design will also be similar, with a glass rear panel, but faces become more rounded than the Xperia Z. Because of this, in our opinion, the smartphone will lose in visual appeal, but in the hand it will be comfortable.
However, the impression spoils well-marked “noise” in the upper right corner of the frame, and a lack of clarity.
Smartphone as Xperia Z, will be “protected”, that is, all the connectors are sealed with plugs with rubber seals. For the same reason, the device will be released on the optional docking station, charge it through the open contacts on the right edge. If you believe one of the snared promotional images apparatus, it will be available in black, white or purple.
In the end, the flagships of Samsung and HTC already have smaller versions – Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and HTC One mini, so why Sony does not support the trend?
