Sony Xperia XZ4 renders reveal massive no-notch screen, triple rear camera unit, and more surprises
Case in point, the Xperia XZ4 that looks pretty good in freshly leaked CAD-based renders... for a 2018 flagship. Of course, this 6.5-inch giant is expected to see daylight at the 2019 Mobile World Congress in February, snubbing both the notch trend and a hole-in-display current that may soon spread like wildfire.
That would make the Sony Xperia XZ4 significantly taller, albeit narrower, than Apple’s iPhone XS Max, which also sports a massive 6.5-inch display.
Meanwhile, even though the fingerprint scanner of Sony’s next big thing is not immediately visible in these ultra-high-quality renders, you shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Instead of embracing the future of biometric recognition with an in-screen fingerprint reader, Sony is most likely going back to a side-mounted sensor.
Obviously, it would have been hard to find an ideal place on the back of the Sony Xperia XZ4 with those three centered, vertically-aligned new cameras. That looks like a big upgrade over the single shooter of the Xperia XZ3, but without any details on resolution and actual imaging features, it’s too early to tell what kind of a real-world difference we’re dealing with here.
Other important points to mention include no headphone jack, which is sad but wholly unsurprising, as well as a shift from a curved display on the XZ3 to a conventionally flat design.
