Sony has had surprising early success with its Xperia Z smartphone so it shouldn’t be much of a shock that the company wants to keep the momentum going by releasing yet another high-end device by the end of the year. Engadget notes that both specifications and pictures of Sony’s upcoming Xperia A have been posted on the Federal Communications Commission’s website and show that the new device will feature a 5-inch 1080p HD display, a 2,300mAh battery, a 13-megapixel camera and 16GB of storage. Given these specs, the Xperia A sounds more like an updated version of the Xperia Z rather than the full-blown monster 6.44-inch Xperia phablet that the company has been working on.
