Sony Xperia Z3 to be unveiled on September 3?


The Sony Xperia Z3 will be officially unveiled on September 3, latest reports have suggested.


Having been the subject of multiple leaks in recent weeks, the Sony Xperia Z3 is widely expected to be showcased during the Berlin-based IFA convention. Now, XperiaBlog has cited unnamed sources in claiming Sony will hold its IFA 2014 press conference on the afternoon of September 3.


Although Sony has yet to announce any official plans to hold a dedicated press conference during IFA, if accurate, this would likely see the Z3 unveiled the same day as the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.


Expected to be one of the big announcementd of IFA 2014, the Sony Xperia Z3 will reportedly be the showpiece of the Japanese manufacturer’s press conference, although a second, smaller phone, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, is also being tipped for launch.


With Sony adopting a twice annual smartphone refresh policy, unlike its main competitors which update their flagship offerings every 12 months, the Z3 is shaping up to be something of a wet lettuce.


According to recent leaks, the phone will boast the same 5.15-inch, 1080p Full HD as its predecessor. This isn’t where the similarities end either.


Like the existing Xperia Z2, the Z3 is tipped to run 3GB of RAM and a 20.7-megapixel camera alongside Google’s Android OS.


The only notable change based on leaked specs is the marginal jump from a 2.3GHz to a 2.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor.


TrustedReviews will be reporting from the show floor during IFA 2014 so stay tuned for all the latest from Europe’s answer to CES.
