Sony launches flagship smartphone Xperia Z4 in Japan

Sony has launched its latest flagship smartphone Xperia Z4 in Japan but the company, however, has neither provided an international launch date nor an accompanying "Compact" version.

According to TechCrunch, the new Xperia Z4 is a lot like its predecessor Z3, with a 5.2-inch screen, a thinner 6.9mm form and an octa-core 64bit Snapdragon 810 processor which clocks a more modest 2GHz. The new device also sports a front-facing camera with wide-angle lens, an eye-popping 20.7 megapixel rer cam, 3GB of RAM and Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Sony Experia Z4's international launch date is also expected to be announced soon.
