Sony Mobile teased an announcement for earlier this week and many thought the Japanese company plans to launch a different color option for the Xperia Z5 Premium.

And it looks like the rumors were true since Sony Mobile announced the pink version of Xperia Z5 Premium. Unfortunately, the handset maker did not offer any details on availability and price, except for the fact that it will go on sale sometime in May.

Still, there’s a high chance that Xperia Z5 Premium Pink will be available for purchase in Asian countries like China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. India might get the device as well, though we’re still waiting for confirmation from Sony.

According to Murai-san, the designer of the smartphone, “the colour was first created for Xperia Z5 Pink and the hue also lent itself well to the finish of the Z5 Premium. As with other Z5 Premium devices we wanted to give an expression of light, so we adapted the colour to the Z5 Premium’s materials, the result is a deeper, rich tone due to its glossy finish – the perfect complement to its Premium name tag.”

There isn’t much to tell about Xperia Z5 Premium’s hardware since the smartphone was launched back in November 2015, so many already know what this is all about.

However, here is a short recap for those out of the loop. The Xperia Z5 Premium is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, coupled with an Adreno 430 graphics processing unit and 3GB of RAM.

Also, it sports a 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 2160 x 3840 pixels resolution and features scratch-resistant glass with oleophobic coating.

There’s also a 23-megapixel photo snapper on the back, which features phase-detection autofocus, LED flash and 4K video recording, as well as a secondary 5.1-megapixel camera in the front.

The smartphone was launched with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop right out of the box, but Sony Mobile recently kicked off the rollout of Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Xperia Z5 family.
