If you want a new Sony flagship, you’ll have to wait

MWC 2015 is getting closer and closer and we expect to see great things during the event. For example, HTC and Samsung have already announced they will be hosting press events during which we will probably see their next flagships get prime time.

Initially, we were expecting to see more companies unveil top-tiers on the grounds in Barcelona, but a recent report already cleared it out for us that the LG G4 is not going to make it at the event.

LG is apparently concentrating on heavily experimenting with its up and coming flagship, wanting to launch something really amazing.

Sony Xperia Z4 might be a no-show at MWC 2015

But what about the Sony Xperia Z4? Well, as it appears now we’ll have to forget about it too, for the time being anyway.

According to the Xperia Blog, which has usually proved to be a relatively accurate information source, Sony won’t probably unveil the flagship at MWC 2015.

Chances are that Sony is looking to delay things and will push out the Xperia Z4 during an event scheduled sometime this summer.

We've heard such rumors before. Back in December with the occasion of the leaked emails exchanged between Sony execs, we found out that Z4 phones are coming between May and November (summer period included).

Sony usually has a flagship refresh cycle of about 6 months. The original Xperia Z was introduced in late 2013, while the Xperia Z2 made an appearance in early 2014. In late 2014, we had the Xperia Z3.

Based on this, a summer release for the Xperia Z4 doesn’t really fit the pattern, but maybe Sony still has some work to do on the device.

Possible specs of the Xperia Z4

After all, we just told you the OnePlus 2 is reportedly delayed to Q3 2015, due to the challenges Qualcomm is seeing with the Snapdragon 810. And the Xperia Z4 will also be based on the Snapdragon 810.

Other specs include a QHD and 1080p resolution options plus a 21MP camera with a brand new Exmor RS IMX230 sensor, as main shooter.

Do you think the Sony Xperia Z4 will be worth waiting for?
