We have bad news for all Sony Xperia Z5 Fans, that were waiting for a Premium Compact Version with 4GB RAM. The news of the a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium was fake.

A few days ago, based on a single source chinese Blog, there has been the news that Sony is planning a Xperia Z5 Compact Version. The Compact Version was supposed to be a Premium Compact “Miku Edition”. Since then Sony fans have been wildly discussing the potential 4GB RAM Compact Premium Version.  Understandably a cheaper Premium Version with more RAM, then all current Sony Z5 versions sounds amazing, doesnt it ?

Hatsune Miku is a virtual Singer, who is extremely popular in Japan, even more so then real stars in other countries. The alleged poster showed the Xperia Z5 Compact with 4GB RAM, 2900 mah and FULL HD display, instead of 4K resolution of the bigger brother.

At this point some of you might have been skeptical already. 4GB RAM would mean that the Z5 Premium Compact is the only Z5 Phone, launched this year, with more RAM. The date of 3.10 should create Hope for a very soon Launch Date of the Z5 Premium Compact in Japan. So far we dont have a certain Launch Date for the other Z5 Flagships. Most likely October or November 2015.

The main reason why the news was so believable, is that Sony already followed this “Japan Exclusive” strategy before. The Xperia Z4 and Z4 tablet are only available in Japan. Also the fake Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Compact, looks very much alike to a real cooperation between Sony and Docomo for a Miku Phone. In 2013 Sony and Docomo, launched a Sony Xperia A Miku Edition. The edition was limited to 39k phones and was an exclusive to Japan.

Very likely we can say now that the good news of Xperia Z5 Premium Compact will stay a rumor

• 1. Crypton Future Media, who own the rights to Hatsune Mika, demented the news on a Miku-Fanblog on a recent event of the star.
• 2. As well Sony International told us that all Sony phones for this year, have been introduced on the IFA 2015.
• 3. If this is not enough proof for you, there is no news or information about this phone on the DoCoMo Shop website in Japan. This is quite unusual since DoCoMo was supposed to be Exclusive Distribution partner for the Z5 Premium Compact.

 

There still might be good news for Sony fans ahead though. There is more and more information for a Sony Xperia Z5 Ultra Version that is supposed to launch in Q1/2015. The Xperia Z5 Ultra, is supposed to come with 6.4″ 4K Screen, Snapdragon 820 and 4GB RAM. If the Xperia Z5 Ultra launches, most likely would be the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

And if we can make a wish, Sony please use Samsung’s newest memory chips and give 6GB RAM to the Ultra. That would make me pretty happy.
