Sony Xperia Z Kernel Source Released Prior to Worldwide Device Launch

[randomuser111]

One of the most highly-anticipated devices debuted at CES 2013 is the Sony Xperia Z. With a 5″ 1080p screen with a ~441 ppi, sitting atop a quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm S4 Pro with 2 gigs RAM and a 13.1 MP camera, there’s no doubt that anticipation is warranted. With the device recently released in Japan, and a worldwide release date is speculated to be in the next few weeks, what is this? Kernel source already?

This year, Sony Mobile has already demonstrated with their commitment to supporting the open source developer community. The most recent previous example is their kernel source code release for their alpha Jelly Bean build for the Xperia T (massive GPL-compliance anyone?). Now, they’ve released the kernel source code for the Xperia Z, which hasn’t even gone on sale around the world yet.

Price is around 36k. If you want it this month you have to pre order it at Sony center or xperia store by paying a token amount.

Nationwide release is March first week.

but hardware and build quality is outstanding.

Not to mention they are relatively reliable when it comes to O.S. updates.
