New Sony E5663 with 4.6” 1080p display spotted in benchmarks, could it be the Xperia Z4 Compact?

Looks like Sony will soon be offering a successor to the Xperia Z3 Compact. A new Sony smartphone with model E5663 has been spotted on a couple of benchmarking sites and its specs are quite interesting. If the specs are to be believed, the new handset appears to be the next gen Sony Xperia Z4 Compact.

The benchmark data shows that the new Sony E5663 will feature a 4.6-inch display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels which is an upgrade over Xperia Z3 Compact’s 4.6-inch 720p resolution screen. This is also the first less than 5-inch Sony phone to sport a 1080p display.

The Sony E5663 will be powered by a 64-bit octa-core MediaTek ARM MT6795 processor clocked at 1.95GHz and PowerVR Rogue G6200 GPU. Other specs include 3GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, 20.7MP rear camera and a powerful 13MP front-facing camera. Till now we have seen front-facing cameras only as high as 5MP in Sony devices. So this would make a great selfie phone. The device will run Android Lollipop.

Sony model E5663 has also appeared on the Indian import-export tracker site Zauba.com which shows 2 units of the device to having landed in New Delhi from China. So it is possible that the handset may be launched in India.

Full specs of Sony Xperia Z4 Compact and Xperia Z4 Ultra leak

As CES 2015 is drawing near, frequency of rumors and leaks is increasing. Latest in the line of leaks are the specifications for new members to be added to the Sony Xperia family – Xperia Z4 Compact and Xperia Z4 Ultra, which seem to be quite impressive. Some of the specs for both the Sony devices had already leaked last month but now we have the full deal.

Let’s check out the rumored specs for both:

Xperia Z4 Compact

The upcoming Xperia Z4 Compact is a follow-up on its predecessor, the Xperia Z3 Compact and like it, this one also has flagship-like specs but offered in a more compact form.

The leak suggests that the handset will have a 4.7-inch 1920 x 1080p resolution display and 3GB RAM. It will feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 like others in the Xperia Z4 family. Other specs are also supposed to be similar, such as the 32GB internal storage, 20.7MP primary rear camera and 5MP selfie camera with capability for recording 1080p videos. The Xperia Z4 will be outfitted with S-Master HX digital amplifier, superior stereo speakers, LTE Cat.9, NFC and Bluetooth 4.1. The handset will have wireless charging support and IP68 certification for water and dust resistance. There is no info about the battery size but it might be around 3,000mAh.

Xperia Z4 Ultra

Sony’s Xperia Z4 Ultra is a phablet with a 6.44-inch display like the Xperia Z Ultra, its predecessor, but with a Quad HD resolution. In appearance, the handset looks like a bigger version of Xperia Z3 but will have its own stylus, unlike the Xperia Z Ultra that supported only a pencil input. Xperia Z4 Ultra will also sport Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, 16Mp rear camera and a bigger battery somewhere between 3500mAh and 4000mAh capacity to support the larger display. Other specs are rumored to be similar to the Xperia Z4 and the Z4 Compact.

It seems that there will be a delay in release of these two handsets as there is a shortage of Snapdragon 810 processors. So they will probably not be launched along with Xperia Z4 and Xperia Z4 Tablet on January 5th as expected earlier. Sources say that the Xperia Z4 Compact and Xperia Z4 Ultra will now launch in the second quarter of 2015.
