There, it's real, no "leak" no whispers. The Xperia Z4 exists, and is launched.

Spec:
See Xperia Z3 and replace snapdragon 802 with 810.

And er, that's about it.

Japan only for now.

The @viridis sounds very very disappointed about that. Nothing to shout about then?

For anyone with a Z1 or possibly Z2 it's worth upgrading to, I guess.
Z3, not really.

There's a (little) bit of excitement on xda http://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z4-unveiled-in-japan/

Maybe in the main pages, In the discussion threads, not so much excitement.

A bit muted though

"The Sony Xperia Z4 was launched in a quiet manner in Japan today"

I was being sarky

Re: Xperia Z4. announced, kind of.

viridis — Mon, 20 Apr 2015 21:10:44 GMT

And just to clarify one line from the official release
"This product is a product aimed at completing the form of Xperia Z series."

Heavy implication that the Xperia Z4 is the last of the Z series.

Problem is, no one cares, Sony have continuously done the wrong thing.

Lets face it if you and rich didn't reply to this, I'd be talking to myself.

Record losses meant they needed a new strategy. And they then said they would look to cut the excess. So what do they do? Go and release 3 junk low end phones no one will buy because the low end Sammys and lg's are more appealing in that market.

Everything should have gone into M,T & Z, nothing else.

And now what are they stuck with? Releasing a half baked flagship in Japan because they know Japanese consumers are the most loyal and will lap this up.

Kaz Hirai should step down because as things stand, I could run Sony Corp better than him.

I agree, the Z and Z1 were exciting and I was looking forward to something great coming later from Sony, but all we really got after that was a wet f@rt !

Re: Xperia Z4. announced, kind of.

viridis — Mon, 20 Apr 2015 21:29:41 GMT

Let's face it we were expecting
Quad HD
New sensor (btw it is still the imx220)
810
3-4gb
And to look just a little bit different!
As it stands, it's a z3 with the leftover digitizers from the Z2 stuck on the front.

You know what the sick thing is. Sony managed to get the 810 to not overheat even during 4k recording, without throttling. All that tech, experience, history and innovation and look at what they are settling for.
