Shortly after unveiling the Xperia Z4 on Sony's own Japanese websites, there are now rumors circulating the internet regarding its supposed successor, the Sony Xperia Z5, and its variants, the Xperia Z5 Ultra and Xperia Z5 Compact.
The speculation started out when it was first reported at AndroidOrigin where the author argued of Sony not releasing a new flagship unit this year and is thereby hinting the possibility of a "second flagship" unit several months after the first flagship's release. With the said announcement being conducted on the fourth quarter of the year, it is likely that the commercial release would be anytime the year after.
The said report also mentioned the possibility of its early or late release depending on the availability of its alleged processor that is the Snapdragon 820 chipset, which was complemented by PhoneArena.
In an updated report coming from AndroidOrigin, screen sizes will vary between Xperia Z5 Ultra and Xperia Z5 Compact which are set a 6-inches and 4.8-inches, respectively. If the details coming from the report is to be believed, the Xperia Z5 Ultra's 6-inches display size is a cut-down version of the original measurement of 6.44 inches which is deemed too big for many for a non-tablet device.
More than just simply a change in screen sizes, the Sony Xperia Z5 line-up will display significant changes never seen on any of the Xperia releases before. It pertains to the rumored use of different conceptualization design (OmniBalance design) used into making the Z5 flagship units that is in direct contradiction to the former practice.
Instead, the designs of Sony Xperia Z5 units will be heavily based on Sony's BRAVIA TV sets. Other interesting features that will be added to these upcoming smartphone units include fingerprint sensors, new camera sensors, as well as 4 Gb of RAM.
