It is not usual for the companies themselves to officially feed the rumors related to their smartphones, but this time the Japanese company Sony has made a presentation that could perfectly correspond to one of the characteristics of the new Sony Xperia Z4. We talk about the IMX230, a new sensor 21 megapixel camera that can take pictures with a maximum resolution of 5,344 x 4,016 pixels and record video with resolution 4K (4,096 x 2,160 pixels) at a rate of 30 frames per second.
The new IMX230 is a sensor intended for smartphone cameras. In addition to the slight difference in size that this sensor makes compared to the Sony Xperia Z3 sensor (we went from 1 / 2.3 to 1 / 2.4 inches), we are talking about a sensor that incorporates technologies such as those of the detection focus. phases (similar to the technology of the iPhone 6), HDR mode during movie recording (even when recording videos in 4K) and improvements in the HDR mode photographs.
In addition to the videos 4K, the sensor IMX230 is also capable of video recording with 1,080 pixels resolution at a rate of 60 frames per second and videos with 720 pixel resolution at a rate of 120 frames per second. As regards the photographs, this new sensor is able to take snapshots with 5,344 x 4,016 pixel resolution, which is an increase from the 5,248 x 3,936 pixel resolution offered by the camera sensor of the Xperia Z3 Sony.
Now, assuming that the IMX230 is the sensor that will house the main camera of the Sony Xperia Z4 is quite daring for several reasons. The first is that Sony claims that the mass production of this sensor will not begin until the month of April of next year 2015, which does not match the dates on which it is expected to be presented the Sony Xperia Z4 (between January and March, coinciding with CES 2015 or Mobile World Congress 2015). On the other hand, it would also be too obvious that Sonygive a clue of this caliber to your competition, especially considering the effort that brands often put into protecting their products against excessive leaks.
Leaving aside the information of the new sensor, rumors about the Sony Xperia Z4 indicate that this smartphone be presented with a screen 5.5 inches with 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution, a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 of eight cores, 4 gigabytes of RAM memory and 32 GigaBytes of internal storage. In addition, as other additional leaks have revealed, Sony could also be working on a new Sony Xperia Z4 Compact, a new Sony Xperia Z4 Ultra and a new Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet, all of them scheduled to be officially presented during the next year 2015.
