Sony unveils new Xperia Z4 smartphone

Sony has unveiled its new high-end Xperia Z4 handset featuring an aluminium frame and a 5.2-inch screen, showing it is still in the smartphone race even as it scales down its struggling mobile operations. The handset would be available in four colours and was slightly thinner than the previous Z3.

The device sports a 5.2 inch screen, thinner 6.9 mm form and a snapdragon 810 processor.

The smartphone is equipped with a 5MP front-facing camera and 20.7 MP camera on the rear. The Z4 will pack 32GB of onboard storage, but there's also an option to expand that with a microSD slot taking up to 128GB.

The Z4 packs a 2,930 mAh battery, a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM and Android 5.0 Lollipop, the latest version of Google's mobile operating system.
