The specifications of the 2015 flagship from Sony, the Xperia Z4, have surfaced through Geekbench’s website. The leaked information shows that the device is loaded with specs that can rival other forthcoming flagships such as the Galaxy S6, LG G4 and HTC One M9.

According to the International Business Times report that was published in January , the Sony Xperia Z4 is rumoured to arrive in two versions. One would be sporting a quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels whereas the other one is expected to feature a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The leaked specs belong to the model number 78YB16RC98PW62B1 of Sony Xperia Z4.

The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset that is referred with model number MSM8994 on the Geekbench’s website. Phone Arena says that Qualcomm had previously confirmed that the Snapdragon 810 will be powering the forthcoming products from Sony. It seems that the Xperia Z4 is the first device from the Japanese tech giant to feature the new 64-bit Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor

The Xperia Z4 is housed with a 2822 MB of RAM that can be rounded to 3 GB of memory, states Techno Buffalo. It will come preinstalled with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. According to another post published on the IBTimes, other Sony Xperia Z4 features include dual SIM support, Cat. 9 LTE modem and enhanced waterproof and dustproof capabilities. Sony has not confirmed any of the aforementioned specs for its upcoming flagship smartphone.

In the previous year, Sony had released two flagship smartphones, the Xperia Z2 and the Xperia Z3. However, in this year, the arrival of Sony Xperia Z4 flagship has been delayed because the Japanese tech giant like other rival brands is going to launch only one flagship this year, says Mobile Burn.

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 is going to begin on March 2 at Barcelona, Spain. Sony is going to be present at the event to unveil its future products. However, speculations are rife that the Xperia Z4 will not be showcased at the upcoming tech trade event, says the IBTimes report. There are a lot of rumours about other flagship like the Galaxy S6 and the HTC One M9 and both of them are poised to get unveiled during the MWC 2015 even though there has been no official confirmation from the respective manufacturers.
