[Rumour] Xperia Z flagship to launch in August 2012

Ok, before we get into the detail, treat all of the following firmly as a rumour. It is based on a comment left in a previous post but some of the detail ties in with what we’ve heard from our own sources. We’ll just put this out there and you can decide whether you believe it or not.

Apparently, Sony Mobile will be launching four new Xperia smartphones in the second half 2012. I know what you’re thinking, how big is their 2012 portfolio going to be?! These phones will be the second generation NXT series and will be named the Xperia Z, Xperia C, Xperia E and Xperia Y. The Xperia Z will be the flagship and launch in August 2012, whilst the other handsets will launch in July 2012.

All of the phones will have a S4 Snapdragon chipset, sport an OLED display and will come with Cyber-shot camera lenses from the T camera series. All handsets will also be PlayStation Certified and feature the Walkman music player. All of these details could be completely off the mark, but we guess we’ll find out for sure in a week!

Thanks XperiaTM!
