Xperia Z4 confirmed...

For Japan.

The phone is still water and dust resistant (IP68 certification) and offers a design that’s overall in line with what other Xperia Z flagship models had to offer.

The Xperia Z4 packs a 5.2-inch display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 64-bit eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, microSD support, 20.7-megapixel camera, 5-megapixel front-facing camera, 2,930 mAh battery and Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Guess ya'll can write off the M9 and Z4 this year.

Sony's not done yet, apparently it's not their 2015 flagship and that's the reason why it's Japan only

They've got one more announcement next month, these were in the Sony Pictures leaks Wikileaks uploaded a few days ago

I have that plan and it's great. If you're running low on minutes you can add $5 or 10 to get extra.

I never got an international but you have to check each one to make sure it's compatible with 4G LTE. Just watch an Android Authority review and they'll tell you. They always review international phones.



If you don't want a large phone go with an LG G2 or G3. The G2 has a great camera and you can get one for $220 new. The G3 screen is quad hd, 5.5 inch but it's the size of a 5 inch phone:

It's around $300-380 but should drop soon when the G4 releases. The quad hd makes it more future proof. I'm copping a G3 soon.

I actually really enjoyed the G3 when I had one, but the battery life was HORRIBLE, I would hope they dropped updates to improve it.

How long did you have it? Sometimes battery drain is software related or maybe you got a bad unit. From the reviews I saw battery life was decent.

I used it for a month, this is when it first came out, so the Battery issue was known, by the time I sold it I would assume there was a software fix because a lot of people complained about it online.
