Sony Xperia Z4 Alleged Photos Leaked, Go Viral Online
Leaked photos of what is allegedly the Sony Xperia Z4 have been making the rounds online since Monday, precipitating the release of the Japanese multinational's latest flagship handset.
Sony's Xperia Z4 has yet to be launched, but several leaked images of what is reportedly the latest model in its Z series have gone viral on the Internet since the photos surfaced on Monday.
The handset in the leaked photos show tiles with Korean writing, suggesting the images may have come from South Korea, or from a Korean phone owner. The home navigational button has changed in design, and the LED charging light is located on the top left of the unit.
A slightly off-center power button can be found on the right side above the volume toggle and a dedicated key for the phone's camera. Based on the photos, it cannot yet be determined if the right side keys are made of plastic or some other material.
The handset features front-facing speakers along the bezel's edge, and at the bottom left, a cut next to the charging port gives the suggestion of an additional speaker. Like its predecessor, the Z3, the corners of the smartphone also appear to be made of another material separate from the frame, and there appears to be no plastic flap covering the exposed microUSB port.
The back of the handset seems to be made of glass with Sony's G-Lens tech logo printed on it. While the aperture cannot be determined from the photos, the back camera features a single LED flash similar to the Z3.
The left side of the smartphone shows a sealed flap, which may be a slot for the device's SIM card and microSD, while a headphone jack shares space with a microphone hole on either side of the phone's top end.
According to speculations, the leaked photos belong to Model E6553 that comes in two 5.2-inch sized variants with HD and QHD resolutions. With no official confirmation from Sony, the images may not necessarily be the final product when the Xperia Z4 is launched, presumably this summer.
