New data on the possible new Sony flagship is now coming via Twitter. Basically, one of the best-known developers on the Xperia scene, has posted a tweet in which he claims that the new Sony Xperia Z3 it would be released in the month of September. Of course, it would not have the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor.

We knew that Sony was planning to release two flagships each year, as was Samsung. However, after learning some information about the new Sony Xperia Z3It is difficult for us to understand that the company wants to launch a new high-end smartphone, when the technical specifications of the same would be almost the same as those of the previous flagship. If before we could know that the new Sony Xperia Z3 would have a Full HD screen, and not with a QHD, now news comes that it will not have a new processor.

The processor of the Sony Xperia Z3 It would not be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, but the same one that it already has, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801. That means that it will not have a better screen or a better processor. And not a higher capacity RAM memory, since it already has a 3 GB unit.

However, according to the well-known developer in his tweet, the new smartphone would have a renewed design, thinner bezels, and a thickness of seven millimeters. It is possible that the company's strategy is to launch a smartphone with better technical specifications in the first half of the year, and a smartphone with a new design in the second half of the year, to attract more customers. Be that as it may, it seems that a new Sony Xperia Z3 Ultra would not be launched. The news comes weeks after there were indications to the contrary, that yes both a Sony Xperia Z3 Ultra and a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact would be launched. Hopefully, if the first one has been canceled, the Xperia Z3 Compact will be launched, as Sony is currently the only company that launches smartphones with medium-size screens and with high-level technical specifications.
