A few days ago, we were treated to some candid photos of a device simply known as the Sony D6503, code named “Sirius”. While it wasn’t clear whether this device is going to be a refresh of the Sony Xperia Z1 or a completely new flagship i.e. the Sony Xperia Z2, what was clear was that the device was based on the Z1’s hardware with a few key tweaks (check out the photos here). XperiaBlog has gotten the next scoop on this Sony D6503, apparently getting a hold of new information about the device’s hardware specs.
According to the leak, the “Sirius” will have a Qualcomm MSM8974AB chipset clocked at 2.3GHz (and for those that don’t speak the lingo, that’s a Snapdragon 800 processor), as well as a 5-inch screen with 1080p resolution, 3GB RAM, a 20.7 megapixel camera and a 2.1 megapixel front camera. Overall, these specs are only a minor upgrade over the Z1 (slightly faster processor, a bit more RAM and a slightly better front camera), so if this leak is to be believed, it looks like the Sony D6503 is more likely a refreshed model of the Xperia Z1, probably to be released at MWC 2014.
One more leak about this device will probably make those of you bummed that the Z1 ships with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean a little happier; XperiaBlog has revealed that this device will mostly likely launch with Android 4.4 KitKat, which should but it in a good position to do battle with its other Snapdragon 800 toting competitors.
