Sony has reportedly scheduled a Sept. 3 press event as part of the IFA 2014 trade show, where the company is expected to introduce exciting new devices.
The IFA trade show is among the most exciting annual events for the tech community, as a slew of companies use the venue to announce their latest devices. Sony is expected to unveil a number of new devices at IFA 2014, including the much-rumored Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact smartphones.
In addition, the company may also introduce a range of other gadgets at the show, which may include some new wearables. As the wearable device market is expanding and more players are joining the race, Sony may choose to stay competitive and unveil a new Sony Smartwatch 3 at IFA in Berlin. New cameras and other devices may also debut at the show.
"Mark your diaries Sony fans, we have received word that Sony's 2014 IFA press conference will be taking place on Wednesday 3rd September from 16:15 to 17:00 CEST. Expect new smartphones such as the Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact to be announced along with hopefully some new wearables such as the SmartWatch 3 and the latest iteration of lens-style cameras," reveals the Xperia Blog.
The Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact have already leaked on several occasions recently, as various reports have tried to paint a picture of what to expect. Based on rumors so far, the Xperia Z3 flagship smartphone will sport a 5.15-inch display and a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, as well as a hefty 3GB of RAM for a fast and smooth performance. Other rumored specs include 32GB of internal storage capacity, microSD card support for additional memory, a high-end 20.7-megapixel rear camera, and a 2-megapixel front shooter. Dust- and waterproof capabilities will most likely be part of the deal as well.
The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, meanwhile, is rumored to come with a 4.6-inch full HD display, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, and the same camera setup as the flagship Z3. As a reminder, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact revolutionized the whole "Mini" trend by delivering high-end specs in a compact form factor, and the company is expected to keep it up with future iterations as well. A Sony Xperia Z2 Compact was rumored, but never materialized, and recent reports suggested that the company will skip this version altogether and launch the Xperia Z3 Compact instead.
No official details are currently available regarding these devices, but there's a good chance that we'll see them at the IFA 2014 trade show in September. We'll keep an eye out for any new information and update you as soon as we learn more, so stay tuned.
