Sony Xperia Z3 Leak Reveals Disappointing Specs

Going by the previous leaks and rumors, Sony Xperia Z3 is not a handset that excites us. Sony has been criticized for being too naive to offer a good handset. Xperia Z3 seems to be no exception to this notion.

The Xperia Z3 have allegedly been listed for certification by TENAA, the Chinese equivalent of the FCC. If a previously leaked invite is real, Sony will be launching the Xperia Z3 at a 3rd September in Berlin, ahead of IFA 2014.

A handset codenamed ‘L55t’ has been spotted online which was certified by TENAA. It doesn’t actually mention the Z3 anywhere on the listing, but L55t has previously been associated with the Xperia Z3 so they’re likely the same.

Well, the handset specification is neither exciting nor surprising as there is hardly any difference when compared to the previous model, the Sony Xperia Z2.

According to TENAA, the phone keeps the 5.2″ IPS LCD with 1080p resolution, but is marginally smaller in size. The Xperia Z3 measures 146.5 x 72.4 x 7.4 mm while the current Xperia Z2 is 146.8 x 73.3 x 8.2 mm. It’s lighter too (158g vs. 163g) even the bezels have barely changed.

The only real difference between that and the Xperia Z3 is a slightly faster processor (the Z2 is clocked at 2.3GHz). The design may get a slight change though, as the Xperia Z3 is slimmer at 146.5 x 72.4 x 7.35mm compared to the 146.8 x 73.3 x 8.2mm Xperia Z2 and slightly lighter at 158.4g, compared to the 163g of the current model.
