More Sony Xperia Z3 photos show up, non-removable battery confirmed

In case you haven’t seen enough leaked photos showing the unannounced Xperia Z3, we now have a new set of images that reveal, once more, Sony’s upcoming handset. This time, some of the photos show the Z3 disassembled - this confirming that the smartphone has a non-removable battery (apparently a 3100 mAh unit).

It seems that the Xperia Z3 that’s being pictured here is a dual SIM variant that’s most likely made for China.

While the Z3 appears to be significantly thinner than the Xperia Z2 (allegedly measuring only 7mm), its specs aren’t too different from those of the current flagship. Reportedly, the new Xperia features a 5.2-inch 1080p display, quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.5GHz, 3 GB of RAM, and a 20.7 MP rear camera. Needless to say, the Z3 will be water-resistant, just like the Z2 and Z1.

Sony will host a press conference next week at IFA 2014, and we expect to see the Xperia Z3 then, alongside the Xperia Z3 Compact, and a new Xperia tablet. We’ll be there to bring you all the news as they happen.
