Geek in making
Sony Mobile has just put out a press release that finally makes its latest flagship model official. The Sony Xperia Z4 will feature a 5.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920. It will be powered by a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 810. 3GB of RAM is inside along with 32GB of native storage. Those requiring more memory can take advantage of the 128GB capacity microSD slot on board. A 20.7MP camera is on back with a wide angle 5.1MP snapper on front for selfies and video chats. A 2930mAh battery will keep the lights on, and Android 5.0 is pre-installed.

The Sony Xperia Z4 will be available in White, Black, Copper and Aqua Green. The handset is IP6 certified for dust and IP5 and IP8 certified for water. This means that the Xperia Z4 is protected against "Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction." It also means that the phone can be submerged to 4.92 feet for as long as 30 minutes and emerge unscathed.

Sony says that its new flagship is 6.9mm thin, weighs 144 grams, and features a metal frame. It is .4mm thinner than its predecessor and weighs 8 grams less. The metal frame is put through a treatment to increase the shine. Also new with the Xperia Z4 is a "cooking mode" added to the rear camera, which helps users take better looking shots of food.

Some accessories for the phone were revealed, including a waterproof Cover Window that lets you view important information on the screen while still protecting the handset. This will be available in the same four colors as the Xperia Z4, priced at the equivalent of $59 USD. A desktop holder will also be offered, which will dock the phone and recharge it.

The Sony Xperia Z4 will be available in Japan later this summer. There is no word yet on pricing.

Right off the assembly line
I have also heard that Sony mobiles are closing their mobile department. It's good to hear that Sony Xperia Z4 is coming soon. Sony is best among providing mobiles with latest technology.

Bad move by Sony, same design nothing eye popping [not being a spec whore]. Snapdragon 810 has issue with heating, IMO z3 is better choice, because they will price z4 much

The Title says it All:

Sony's Xperia Z4 is the flagship nobody asked for | Android Central

Well actually, Samsung S6 too was not desired much as well. But, still it was launched.
The thing is that mobile technology is not developing as fast as products are being launched. Also, the hardware specs are pretty good enough for any average user. Which doesn't encourage the upgradation of mobile phone.
Cheap Chinese brands have made the matter even worse for high end brands. As such companies have only 2 alternatives. Either shut there business. Or launch products at a proper gap for it to have sufficient hardware changes for the end user to make it a worthy purchase.

Sony have decided not to follow the cutting edge trends like 2k or 4k mobile display but to make 1080p display in mobile that makes perfect sense. They also have decided to launch new products At proper gaps.

I believe that's the right decession in the right direction. It would take some time for them to get back into the race. But, what it have done is that it would give them a solid foundation to develop there market share once again.

I don't know what ground breaking technology you guys expect. Every company tries to make money to slowdown technology growth.
