Do you guys still remember the blog we posted on Nov 15th, 2014? On that blog, we posted some photos of the purported Sony Xperia Z4 digitizer and LCD screen assembly. While Sony did not release their new flagship-Xperia Z4 during the MWC 2015 show, to prove the accuracy of these photos, we’ve gotten the Front Housing for the Z4, which matches the Z3’s LCD screen assembly.
Here is a comparison we made between the Z4 front housing and Z3 front housing.
The length and width of the Z4 is approximately the same as the Z3, while it’s slight thinner (around 1mm).
On the top side, there isn’t much difference. The only change is the microphone hole has been moved away from the headphone jack.
The biggest difference is the missing micro-SD and SIM car slot on the right side of the Z4.
On the left side, there is only a slot for a SIM card on the Z4 front housing, no magnetic charging port anymore.
Where is the Micro USB charging port for the Z4? Here is the answer, it’s now on the bottom of the phone and what surprised us is, it has not been covered with anything! Seems like the Z4 won’t have the water-resistant capabilities of its predecessors?
I find Sony’s to be poorly made. My sony z ultra is falling apart. The back is coming off, both the sd cover, and the USB cover have broken off. First phone I have owned that has fallen apart
yep, so sad to acknowledge that Sony changed. In fact, time changes everything.
Well, for sure it’ll be waterproof. As Sony did with the Z4 tablet, the Micro USB port will be open (no covering), but still waterproof.
yup, that’s Sony style actually
