Japanese tech giant Sony is expected to launch the Xperia XZ4 as its flagship for this year. Although the company is yet to officially reveal when the model will be launched, the rumour mill has been buzzing with renders and leaks about the flagship. The device was even rumoured to launch the device under a new moniker but that is not certain as well. The latest leak is a new image of the Sony Xperia XZ4’s home screen.

The most spectacular aspect is the unusual 21:9 aspect ratio which the model adopts. It also comes with Android 9.0 Pie’s gestures navigation. The render shows a while line on the side of the screen which is suspected to be Sony’s Side Sense. The Side Sense was first featured on the Xperia XZ3 and it allows you to double tap the side of the phone to bring out a list of AI-curated app shortcuts.

The renders also show the design of the Xperia XZ4 with a triple rear camera setup. Sony has been slow in trimming off the bezels around its displays but the XZ4 may come with a different design bearing a reduced bezel at the top and bottom. Sony will unveil the Xperia XZ4 at MWC next month alongside the XZ4 Compact. The company already has a an event scheduled for February 25.

Sony is gearing up to launch its upcoming flagship smartphone — Sony Xperia XZ4, which is said to be powered by Snapdragon 855 chipset. Recently, the phone’s AnTuTu score surfaced online and now Geekbench listing shows the phone’s benchmarks.

According to the Geekbench benchmark score of Xperia XZ4 posted by ‘Zackbuks’ on Weibo, the smartphone scored 3,497 points in single-core test and 12,801 points in multi-core test. The listing reaffirms that the device powered by SD855 SoC will pack 8GB RAM and will run Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, manufactured using 7nm process, is an octa-core processor that features four power-saving cores clocked at 1.78GHz, three performance cores clocked at 2.42GHz and another special “gold” core for performance boost which is clocked at 2.84GHz. It is coupled with Adreno 640 graphics processor, which is expected to bring performance improvement.

A previous reported related to the device indicated that the phone will come with an unusually tall display having a 21:9 aspect ratio. The phone also said to have a 3.5mm audio jack and support for 46.5W fast charging.

Recently, CAD renders of the Xperia XZ4 surfaced online, showing the smartphone with an extremely thin bezel, without a notch, and cut out for the earpiece, including proximity sensor. There’s a tiny hole in the left end of the screen, presumably for the LED notification light.

It has been quite a while since we heard any news about the Sony Xperia XZ4. The phone has been rumored earlier this month to feature an extremely tall display with a cinematic screen ratio of 21:9. Here are some leaked CAD (Computer Aided Diagram) renders of the upcoming Sony Xperia XZ4 flagship alongside its screen protector. This leak is again lending credence to earlier rumours of a tall display.

The panel fits closely to the ratios as seen in the renders featuring an extremely thin bezel, without a notch, and cut out for the earpiece, including proximity sensor. It’s also equipped with a tiny hole in the left end of the screen, presumably for the LED notification light. From a glance at the second photo, it fits perfectly for the screen of the Sony Xperia XZ4. We are hoping the picture is the real device because anyone might have produced the panel, just by mere looking at the 3D image.

The same source gave pictures of the protective case as well. This case reveals a vertical triple camera set up that is equipped with several buttons and port. On the right side of the device is the volume button, the fingerprint scanner and the power button are positioned next to each other alongside the camera shutter. Beneath the device a speaker can be seen, a USB-C and a port for the mic connection. There is no 3.5mm audio jack, but that not a news anymore.
