Xperia Z4 Official Internal renders pics leaked – No magnetic charging pins seen

Yesterday Sony Xperia Z4 front display pic leaked online with which we also came to know about the dimensions of Xperia Z4. Courtesy of @OnLeaks, 4 official pics of Xperia Z4 internal renders have been leaked which clearly shows the full profile of the device.

Xperia Z4 features stereo speakers exactly like Xperia Z2 at the same place while there is no flap/port on the left side of the device, which was earlier confirmed by leaked Xperia Z4 frame also.

Xperia Z4 Official Internal renders

As you can see in the pic below, Xperia Z4 will feature an open capless USB port (waterproof) just like Xperia M4 Aqua has. Xperia Z4 is 146.3 x 71.9 x 7.2mm in dimensions, Omni-Balance design.

There is only one flap on the left side which means SIM card and SD card will be put under the same flap.

As magnetic charging dock pins are seen on Xperia Z4 which may or may not mean that Xperia Z4 will support Qi wireless charging (just a speculation for the time being).

Sony has started rolling Android 5.0.2 Lollipop Update on Xperia Z3, Z3 Compact, Z2, Z2 Tablet and Z3 Tablet Compact.

Xperia Z4 promo pic leaked – First look, 146.3 x 71.9 x 7.2mm in dimensions

One of the good news for Sony Xperia users is that Sony released Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update today on Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact, whereas Sony is busy rolling Lollipop update; an alleged pic of Xperia Z4 has been leaked online showing us the first glimpse of Xperia Z4 pic from Sony’s promotional images (might be).

@OnLeaks tweeted earlier that Xperia Z4 will have dimensions 146.3 x 71.9 x 7.2mm (too much similar to Xperia Z3) and now a pic showing Xperia Z4’s front display is exposed.

Xperia Z4 pic leaked

Looking at the pic, front hearing speaker of Xperia Z4 is at the same position like in Xperia Z2 while the front cam and the sensors position have been switched if compared to Xperia Z3 or Xperia Z2. Notification light is at the same position like Xperia Z3.

It follows the similar Omni-Balance design like Xperia Z3 but with no ports or flaps on right side, exactly like the leaked Xperia Z4 frame showed, all the ports and flaps will be present on left side only.

In pic. we can see it is running Android Lollipop.

Check out the tweets we got today on Xperia Z4.
