Sony Xperia Z4 rumored to have two display variants

A Taiwanese website claims to have gotten their hands on a leak, revealing some of what we can expect when the Sony Xperia Z4 arrives. This includes two variations for the kind of display to be available.

According to eprice.com there will be improvements with the hardware, but there will also be elements that will be maintained for the upcoming flagship. It was reported that the Xperia Z4 could have two kinds of displays — a Full HD TRILUMINOS screen with 1920 x 1080 resolution or a QHD screen with 2560 x 1440 resolution. The leak also states that there will be a new specialized waterproof microUSB port to address the leak issues previously surrounding it.

As for the overall design it’s likely that the Z4 would still maintain the previous omnibalance and metal frame design of its predecessors, continuing the classic look of the Xperia lineup.

In terms of specs, it was rumored to have a 5.2-inch display size, octa-core Snapdragon CPU, 4GB RAM, and an EXMOR RS CMOS sensor for its camera. Stay tuned as we draw nearer to its possible release date this MWC 2015.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 surfaces with alleged specs

Here’s something for you phablet fans out there – reports of specifications have been going around, hinting on the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It’s said to come out with Qualcomm’s new 805 processor along with a QHD display. Read more about it after the jump.

As of now, here are the specs that we could see on the Galaxy Note 4:

5.7-inch QHD AMOLED display @ 2560 x 1440 resolution, 515ppi
Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 or Exynos 5433 processor
16MP rear camera (IMX240) with OIS
2MP front camera
UV sensor

Most of the specs rumored to make their way into the Note 4 gets somehow detailed on the display. It looks like Samsung is about to bump up its screen from Full HD to QHD with 2K resolution. Also, having more than 500ppi sounds like an eye-popping upgrade from the Galaxy Note 3’s  current 388 pixels per inch.

For the processing power, the two variants are most likely to come depending on the country. The Qualcomm-powered Note 4 is said to be available for North America, Korea, Chinese, and Japanese (maybe Philippines too?), while other countries could be getting an Exynos CPU with an Intel XMM7260 Cat.6 modem for connectivity.

Camera department looks to be upgraded as well. The new Samsung phablet might be arriving with 16 megapixels, in contrast to the previous 13-megapixel sensor. It also has improved features like optical image stabilization and ultraviolet sensor.

The purported Galaxy Note 4 is said to be bundled together with another device (like a Galaxy Gear) when it launches and we’re looking at around September for that. The Note 3 has been a capable device that’s why it’s exciting to see these specs for the Note 4 and what it has in store for everyone. But as usual, nothing is final until the company announces it so stay tuned for more details.

LG G3 confirmed with 2K WQHD display, but 640 DPI?

Sony, Samsung, and HTC have all unveiled their frontrunners and all that’s left from the big Android manufacturers is LG. The South Korean company has already confirmed that the soon-to-be-released LG G3 will in fact come with 2K display, but a benchmark photo shows the display to have 640dpi which is a bit unbelievable.

lg-g3-2560x1440-640dpi-display

The benchmarked smartphone above was reported 99.99% to be the LG G3, and it shows that the device will be running on Adreno 330 GPU side-by-side a Qualcomm processor so it’s just logical to assume it will be a Snapdragon 801. Partner those with its WQHD screen display and we have a flagship phone in our hands.

The thing that caught our attention, though, is that it has 640dpi which doesn’t makes sense if the device is 5.5 inches as expected. For a display to have 640dpi with 2560 x 1440 screen resolution, the screen size should be around 4.6 inches. Either this is a miscalculation or the display is really that small, but we’re going with the former on this one. For a 5.5-inch display, we’re looking at around 534 dots per inch.

For the arrival of the LG G3, release in June is still our best bet since a newer Snapdragon 805 processor is about to come in devices starting July.

Here’s a refreshed specs list that we could expect from the LG G3:

5.5-inch WQHD display @ 2560 x 1440 resolution
Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor
3GB RAM
32GB storage (expandable to 64GB via microSD)
13MP rear and 2.1MP front cameras
LTE/EVDO/IS2000
GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
Android 4.4.2 KitKat
