If the images that have surfaced in the Chinese forum digi-wo.com are
legitimate it appears Sony is working on a phablet targeted at
enthusiast photographers. The user who has posted the images claims to
have further information about the device and says the photos show the
Sony Xperia Z3X which is scheduled to hit the market sometime in 2015.
The device seems to feature the same glass surfaces and boxy design we already know from the Xperia Z1 and Z2 but
sports a massive lens on its back. Despite the typically sleek
smartphone design it is apparently possible to attach an external flash
unit and viewfinder.
According to the forum post the Xperia Z3X's Android L OS will be
powered by a 64bit Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC that is clocked at 2.86 GHz
and 4GB of RAM. Images and other files can be stored on 16GB of internal
storage. The screen is said to measure 6.14 inches, offers a QHD
resolution and uses, a first in Sony smartphones, OLED technology. The
camera image sensor is rumored to be Sony's new curved Exmor-RS
IMX271SMK sensor unit that will apparently offer a resolution of 22MP,
combined with a very fast F1.2 lens.
It is impossible to know if the information in the forum post is
correct and the images might well be the creation of mobile photographer
with decent Photoshop skills. On the other hand it would not be a
surprise if Sony, after Nokia with the 808 and Lumia 1020 and Samsung with the Galaxy K,
is also thinking about launching a device that offers more to
enthusiast photographers than its current flagship models. What do you
think about the Xperia Z3X? Would you order one?
