We’ve been foaming at the mouth for any info on the rumored Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. Last month, we got a look at an alleged front panel of the device as it was compared against its bigger sibling, the full sized Xperia Z3. Shortly after, an alleged screenshot was posted, listing off what could have been a few of the device’s specs. Needless to say, we were an intrigued at the prospect of a fully capable, high-end Android device that could be easily wielded with a single hand.
Fast forward to today where a brand new batch of images have been leaked onto the web. Discovered by XperiaBlog , the images show a Sony device that appears to be — what else — but a smaller version of the recently leaked Sony Xperia Z3. The phone is pictured with both a matte screen protector and clear plastic case. Some eagle eyed readers are sure to point out a few small difference between this and the front panels that leaked out a few weeks back, namely the placement of the front facing camera. We don’t think that discredits this leak in any way, as design revisions are expected as a device moves from prototype to a consumer release.
When it comes to specs, the leaker had a few new details to share as well. Apparently, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact may come with a 4.6-inch 1080p display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM, 20.7MP Exmor RS camera and stereo front-facing speakers. Excuse me while I change my underpants.
If this leak holds up, we could be looking at the single most powerful Android device with a sub 5-inch display since, well, ever. Of course, exactly where the device could be headed is anyone’s guess. Sony doesn’t put much focus on the US market, but if they chose someone like T-Mobile to launch the device, they wouldn’t have to supply as much volume. We’ll keep dreaming. In the meantime, IFA 2014 is just around the corner and it’s there Sony — as well as other manufacturers — are planning to show their latest wares. Let’s hope Sony has a strong showing with their new Z3 lineup for 2014.
