We were all disappointed by Sony’s decision to launch the next along its Xperia Z series the Z4, as an upgraded version of the previous Z3 — and that too only in Japan. In fact, critics went as far as to call it “the waste of a perfectly good device name.”
All this criticism stemmed from the fact that Sony devices launch with plenty of time between them and as such, consumers have a right to expect something more than a slight hardware/software upgrade.
Simply put, the Z4 was almost exactly like an Xperia Z3 with a slightly thinner body, newer processor and capless waterproofing.
Well, it seems like Sony has heeded the omens because the device has been rechristened as the Z3+ and will be released globally in June. Yaay!! Lets take a look at the specs of the Z3+.
The Xperia Z3+ comes with a 5.2-inch 1080p LCD display and features a staggering 20.7MP rear Exmor RS camera along with a 5MP front Exmor R one. The device runs on Android 5.0 with Sony’s upgraded skin.
The Z3+ is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 backed by 3 GB of RAM and a massive 2930mAh battery that according to the company can run for up to two days on a single charge.

Well, this does mean that the launch of the Z4 has been delayed even further. In the meanwhile, lets see how the Z3+ turns out.
Stay Tuned!
