Furthermore, passing Japanese certification authorities hints at an upcoming release date, plus rumors of more than one version of the Z4 emerge.
According to a source that contacted Phone Arena, the Xperia Z4 will have slimmer top and bottom bezels, as well as more rounded corners. The phone is said to be a 5.5-inch phablet and have a mirrored front and rear, and will reportedly be available in white, black, and yellow.
