The Sony Xperia Z4 is the flagship from the Japanese tech giant that is expected to release soon. For the first time, a press render of the flagship has surfaced. It shows that the Xperia Z4 will arrive with slight changes to the design.

The leaked render of the Sony Xperia Z4 revealed by OnLeaks shows that the manufacturer has again used the OmniBalance design on with subtle changes in the appearance. It sports a round shaped aluminum power button on the right side of the device along with a volume controller.

GSM Arena claims that the connectivity slots on the handset will not be featuring protective flap covers. However, the slots have been moved on the Xperia Z4. Still, the device will come with IP certification which means it will sport a dust and water resistant exterior.

According to another tweet from OnLeaks, the Sony Xperia Z4 will measure 146.3 x 71.9 mm and its thickness will be 7.2 mm. The predecessor model, the Xperia Z3 measures 146 x 72 x 7.3 mm. The earpiece that was present on the topside has been relocated to the edge of the device. The Xperia Z3 has it on the middle of the bezel, reports Phone Arena. Also, the position of the proximity sensor changed on the Xperia Z4 compared to last year’s model.

As of this writing, Sony has not confirmed whether the leaked press render of Xperia Z4 is a real image. Like the Z3, this year’s flagship will also come with the same 5.2-inch display screen, adds Phone Arena. It will be powered by Snapdragon 810 chipset along with 3 GB of DDR4 RAM. The chipset will feature a 64-bit octa-core processor.

The Sony Xperia Z4 will be fitted with the new IMX230 sensor. It will come preloaded with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. Sony is expected to launch two variants of the Xperia Z4, one will feature a full HD screen and other will house a Quad HD screen.
