Sony is rumored to announce the Xperia XZ4 and Xperia Z4 Compact smartphones at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 tech expo that will be organized at Barcelona, Spain in February next year. The Xperia XZ4 will be arriving as the successor for the Xperia XZ3 handset that was announced in September. The Xperia XZ4 Compact is expected to arrive as the successor for the Xperia XZ2 Compact that was launched in February as the company did not launch the Xperia XZ3 Compact alongside the XZ3 handset. Popular tipster @OnLeaks had already shared the renders of the Xperia XZ4 Compact earlier this month to reveal what to expect from its design. Case images of the same smartphone have surfaced on SlashLeaks to corroborate on its renders.
The Xperia XZ4 Compact case images show that the handset will be sporting a tall aspect ratio. The right edge of the phone has cutouts for the volume up and down buttons. Below volume buttons is the power embedded that is rumored to be embedded with a fingerprint scanner.
There are cutouts for microphone and 3.5mm audio jack on the top edge of the Xperia XZ4 Compact’s case. The bottom edge of the case has a cutout for USB-C port. The backside of the phone is barren, and its top-left corner features a single camera and an LED flash.
According to the information that was leaked by @OnLeaks earlier this month, the handset will be measuring 139.9 x 66.5 x 9.3m. The handset is quite thicker most of the flagship smartphones as well as many of the mid-range phones available in the market. However, it is slimmer than the Xperia XZ2 Compact that measured 12.1mm in thickness.
The XZ4 Compact is rumored to house a 5-inch display that will carry support for full HD+ resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. The renders of the smartphone revealed that it will be featuring very thick bezels on the upper and lower sides of its display. The rear shell of the phone could be made out of glass. The handset is also expected to feature dual front-facing speakers.
Since the Xperia XZ4 Compact is expected to be packed with flagship specs, it may feature the Snapdragon 855 SoC that will be powering the Xperia XZ4 smartphone. The SOC of the phone could be coupled with 4 GB of RM and it may come loaded with Android 9 Pie OS. The rumor mill is expected to leak more information on the XZ4 Compact in the coming weeks.
