To keep things ticking, the smartphone will come with a massive 4,400mAh battery with support for Quick Charge and Adaptive Charging tech. Sony’s ‘Stamina Mode’ will also be present on the smartphone. On the software front, the smartphone will run Android 9 Pie out of the box.
Earlier, we have also come across leaked renders of the smartphone which hinted at a front and back glass design with curved edges. At the back, it will be the first Sony smartphone to come with triple rear camera support, but there is no word on the sensor type or resolution. And while other OEMs are adopting in-display fingerprint scanners, Sony may fit it on the side, embedded inside the power / sleep button.
Also, like most other Sony smartphones, the Xperia XZ4 will also come with a dedicated camera shutter button, the leaked render has revealed. There is no word on the pricing and availability of the Xperia XZ4, but more details are expected as we come closer to the launch event.
