Sony’s Xperia Z smartphone has been one of the surprise hits of 2013 and the company is apparently looking to keep up its solid momentum by launching yet another Xperia flagship smartphone early next month. Unnamed sources tell Bloomberg that Sony will unveil its next flagship device on September 4th, just before the IFA consumer electronics show in Germany kicks off on September 6th. Bloomberg’s sources say that the new device will feature the same kind of “imaging technology developed for its cameras and ultra-high definition TVs” by using the “‘X-Reality’ picture-enhancement chips developed for Bravia TVs and sensors for its Cyber-shot cameras.” Earlier rumors have indicated that Sony’s newest smartphone will feature a 5-inch full HD display, a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, a microSD slot and a 20-megapixel camera.
