With a little more of a day left to its unveiling, press photos of the Xperia Z3 Compact were leaked a few hours ago.
The images show a design that is similar to that of the Xperia Z1 Compact, released in January. However, the colour varieties are new – that’s when it comes to the teak and orange versions, apparently replacing the purple and yellow that Sony has been using over the past year in its mobile lineup.
The images themselves don’t reveal any new details about the Z3 Compact, but Ausdroid, the site who leaked them, claims to have received information on that front as well.
We’re looking at a 4.6-inch display of 720p resolution, a Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.5GHz, a 2,600 mAh battery and a 20.7MP camera. These specs are very similar to those of the Xperia Z3 (and the Z2, for the matter), and that’s a great thing – we haven’t really got true high-end Android devices in smaller form factors, and it’s good to see Sony continuing on the path it opened with the Z1 Compact.
The Xperia Z3 Compact will launch on Wednesday 3rd of September at a Sony pre-IFA press conference, alongside the Xperia Z3, the Xperia E3 (a new budget device), and the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, a thin 8-inch slate that piqued our interest the most so far.
