Just like what being leaked before, the Sony Xperia Z4 features a 5.2” fHD (1080 x 1920 pixels) display, which is at the same size with the screen on its sibling Xperia Z3. A 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor clocked at 2.0 GHz powers the phone while an Adreno 430 takes care the graphic. Paired with powerful SoC is 3GB RAM to handle multi tasks. On-board storage have an upgrade to 32GB when there is still an up-to-128GB memory card slot.

The device will run on Android 5.0.2 pre-installed. As you would expect from a flagship Sony Xperia, it is dustproof and waterproof at IPX5/8, IP6X, which means it can stay 1.5m under water for around 30 minutes.

The Sony Xperia Z4 is 0.4mm thinner than the Z3 and that explain why battery capacity on the Z4 is smaller than on the Z3 (2930 mAh compared to 3200 mAh). However, the company said it could keep the light on up to 2 days.

The Sony Xperia Z4 will come in 4 colors: White, Black, Copper and Aqua Green. Accessories for the phone include a waterproof Cover Window that lets you view important information on the screen while still protecting the handset. This is available in the same four colors with the device and priced at around $59 (RM 213). There will be a desktop holder docking the phone and recharging it as well.
