Sony Xperia Z4 release date, news, specs and rumors


Though the Xperia Z3 was just revealed at IFA 2014, Sony's speedy release schedule means its next flagship device should be hitting us early in 2015. With this in mind, we're taking a look at what we currently know about the new handset.

Sony Xperia Z4 release date

The original Sony Xperia Z was released in February of 2013, with the Xperia Z2 following a year later in March 2014. Since then, Sony has said it plans to forgo the the yearly release cycle that most manufacturers have set for their flagship handsets and instead release them on a bi-annual basis, which is why the Xperia Z3 (announced at IFA) will be landing sometime in the Autumn.
What all of this means for the Xperia Z4 is that it may materialize around April next year, but maybe even as soon as March to coincide with the 2015 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which takes place between the 2nd and 5th of that month.

  • Sony Xperia Z3 vs Sony Xperia Z2: an unnecessary update?

Sony Xperia Z4 price

Let’s be real. The Sony Xperia Z range is known for premium materials and hardware. The Z3 features a glass and aluminium housing, 20 MP camera, quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 5.2-inch full-HD display and 2 GB RAM. Oh, and it’s waterproof. The Z4 will be at least as powerful, so you can expect to pay top-dollar when it does come around.
To give you some sort of idea on pricing, the Xperia Z3 is going to be available for pre-order in the UK for £549 off-contract, and the 6-month old Z2 currently goes for £399 (down from the £549 RRP). We expect similar sort of prices for the next generation.

Sony has previously stated that it doesn't believe in QHD technology. The trade off of battery power for the benefit of a few extra pixels does not make sense for many manufacturers, and unless battery or QHD technology changes significantly in the next 6 months, we are unlikely to see it on the new device. Having said that, reports are circulating that Sony has experimented with QHD displays on a number of prototype models… maybe one of these might become the Z4?
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 processor should be available by the time the Xperia Z4 rolls around. and it will boast a number of significant benefits to smartphone user. The 64-bit architecture, which supports more than 4 GB RAM, means that the 810 will likely make an appearance on a number of flagship smartphones, and we hope to see it on the Z4 also.

It's safe to assume that Android L will be running on any device released next year, so you can bet the Z4 will come with Android-Key-Lime-Lemon-Lollipop-Meringue-Pie as standard, along with all of the benefits it brings.
That's basically what we think we know about the Xperia Z4. We'll update this page with more information as we get it, until then, you might want to check out how the Z3 compares to another modern flagship in our Xperia Z3 vs LG G3 comparison.

Samsung Galaxy S5 release date, news, specs and rumors

 Galaxy S6Galaxy S series smartphones made the Samsung to achieve the first position in the market and these smartphone promised to be the most superior smartphone. No doubt at the launch of Galaxy S4 the pre order rates were surprising but slowly with the launch of different manufacturer smartphone the fire of S4 is lesser brighter now. Recently launched, iPhone 5S is one of the top most leaders in the market with its 64-bit chipset, its performance is unbeatable at this time. However, in the performance Galaxy Note 3 is also reaching to the iPhone level but still no Galaxy S smartphone exists at present which can lead. So, Samsung need something and its S series is ready to come with next fire i.e. Galaxy S5 and on other hand, guess what, Samsung is already planning Galaxy S6.

There are so many people who are seeking to have S6 and looking for availability in their countries.  Samsung usually keep gap of a year between release of their major Galaxy series.

Samsung Galaxy S6 release date

There were rumors in the past couple of months that Samsung will schedule the Galaxy S6 release date in the month of August 2014 as Galaxy S5 was released in the month of April 2014. But now it seems like Samsung is going to make the balance in the market with upcoming Galaxy Note 4 possibly in the month of September and it will of course delay the release date of Samsung Galaxy S6. And now there is almost no possibility to see the Galaxy S6 even in the month of December 2014. Sorry Samsung fans, but we have to wait more. Let’s hope Samsung will bring something interesting in Galaxy Note 4 and next level of that thing would surely appear in the next generation Galaxy S6.

Galaxy S6 price

Samsung will fire the Samsung S6 with the most advanced hardware and software of the generation in the 2014 but the question is, everything would be under a good price range for a consumer? The answer is yes, however Galaxy Note 3 is one of the most costly phablet / smartphone that Samsung has ever launched and it is priced at 770 USD in most of the countries. Guess what, Galaxy S5 would also get the maximum price tag of the 750 USD in the beginning and later would be sold for pretty handsome discount and same thing would happen in the case with the Galaxy S6 price. But we are not sure because the flexible display concept could increase the cost. However the price of Galaxy S6 would be maintained in the range between 750 and 800 USD Max.

Galaxy S6 Specs and Features

ce would be matching the iPhone 5S criteria.



Where Samsung will stand in the future if things will go like this?
As discussed above after the launch of Sony Xperia Z1 and iPhone 5S the sales of S4 are affected with really bad pace and still declining. However, on other side Samsung is climbing with next stair of its market the all new Galaxy Note 3 but the future is not so easy. Other manufacturers are also trying to bring the similar hardware devices and already there are few similar devices. Samsung has a name no doubt but people out there are getting intelligent and they are comparing every bit of a smartphone and most importantly the price & performance ratio. In just few days, Google will come with up the unbeatable price & performance ratio smartphone i.e. Google Nexus 5 whose price would be around just $299 and the performance would be matching the iPhone 5S criteria.

Where Samsung will stand in the future if things will go like this? Well, we have an answer. Galaxy S5 is going to be the first Android smartphone to be powered with 64-bit processor chipset. Firstly there were rumors S5 would be powered with next generation 16-core chipset Exynos 8000 series but not it seems like, S5 would be powered with true Octa-core Exynos chipset but the good news confirms the presence of Exynos 8000 series chipset in the Galaxy S6.
The performance of Samsung Galaxy S6 would be defined by its internal hardware that would be better than your present laptop in many aspects.
• Samsung Exynos 8000 16-core processor / Snapdragon Qualcomm 810 64-bit
• 4GB RAM
• 128GB on-board memory
• 5.2 inches Ulta High Definition display (4K) or full HD flexible display
• 21MP (Ultra Pixel Sensor) recording at 8K resolution (ready content for your 8K resolution TV)
• 3300 to 3500 mAh battery
• Android 5.0
These specifications are damn amazing if we think about 2013 but who knows, if some other manufacturers like Sony, HTC, ZTE or LG would come up with better or similar specs in 2014 so that if Samsung will launch them, then it would be indifferent.
Update: 09/02/2014- Galaxy S6 will have Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and modem 4G LTE Advanced Cat 6?
According to the latest information, the upcoming Snapdragon 810 would be powering our next flagship Galaxy S6. If we talk about the new chipset would be coming later this year, is based on 20nm technology and has 64-bit architecture.
The features of new chipset include the modem 4G LTE that would support Advanced Cat 6. And the integrated modem is designed to be paired with the radio frequency module and supports data transfer speeds at 300 Mbit / s in the most modern frequency ranges.
To be specific Snapdragon 810 uses 4-core 64-bit processors based on ARM Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 (high performance or efficiency, depending on the specific tasks), GPU Qualcomm Adreno 430 (support 4K displays and standard OpenGL ES 3.1, hardware tessellation and geometry shaders).
And new GPU hardware would improve the efficiency by 30%. Among other features of the Snapdragon platform includes support for LPDDR4 RAM standards. Also, a good news as we were expecting 2K resolution display in our S6 flagship and yes, the new chipset has the support for 4K video at up to 30 frames / s, and has two 14-bit image processor with a capacity of 1.2 rn / s and has ability to connect an external display 4K resolution via HDMI 1.4.
New Snapdragon 810 will allow to record video of 1080p at 120 frames / second. So, let’s wait for few months to hear all this information officially.
Update ( 23rd June, 2014 ) – S6 would be the first Galaxy series phone to get Octa-Core Exynos chip.
All Samsung fans know that Galaxy S5 is something new from Samsung but it was not revolutionary as expected and similar expectations are now set to the upcoming beast Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that might appear in couple of months in the market. And no doubt this is going to delay the release date of our beast i.e. Galaxy S6. Now there seems no possibility that S6 would appear even in the end of 2014. All possibilities hint towards the 2015. However, if you are expecting Galaxy S6 just after the release of Galaxy Note 4 then you won’t be wrong. And now you can set your expectations for the release month of S6 to be either January or February 2015.
The new rumors story would not end here, there is one more interesting rumors that suggests that Samsung has prepared the true Octa-Core Exynos chip that would first appear in the Note 4 and next level of that chip would support our Galaxy S6. So, next Galaxy S series phone would definitely take the performance and specs to the next level. QHD display, 4GB RAM and amazing camera sensor might be other interesting specs that would attract lots of Samsung fans to buy it.

The more is not always the best

The above specifications are remarkable and will make Galaxy S6 the beast smartphone out there. Apple iPhone smartphone are still running 1GB RAM criteria, however the hardware optimisation is maximum but still Apple will need 2 year to reach such performance hardware as discussed above but Samsung will make it possible in an year only. But the reverse could be happen in this case. Apple will achieve the double performance with 1X hardware (with max software and hardware optimisation) and on other hand, Galaxy S6 again has to suffer as in the case of Galaxy S4. But the conclusion is not so easy, almost 10 months are left.
May be Samsung will bring such solution to the market which would be unbeatable in the performance. So let’s hope good this time for the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S6 future because, if they will make something different we will get something different to consume and excitement, fun and thrill would be doubled.
