Full Specs of Sony Xperia Z2a Now Available

One of the devices that Japanese mobile phone maker Sony Mobile made official earlier this year is the Xperia Z2a, which was announced for the market in Taiwan, but which hasn’t been fully detailed as of now.

When unveiling plans to release the mobile phone in Taiwan, Sony confirmed only some of the hardware specs that it would feature when made available for purchase, such as its 5-inch full HD screen, but left other specs shrouded in mystery. However, a recent article on GSM Arena claims that all of the capabilities and features of the device have been fully unveiled today, and that they are accompanied by a press photo of it. Apparently, the new phone was launched in Taiwan with all of the hardware specs that Sony Xperia ZL2 will sport when released on the market in Japan later this year. This would include the aforementioned 5-inch IPS touchscreen display that can deliver a 1080p resolution, as well as a 2.3 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 (Krait 400) processor inside.

Moreover, the mobile phone will become available for purchase with Adreno 330 graphics and 3GB of RAM, as well as with 16GB of internal memory, and support for up to 128GB of external storage via a microSD memory card slot. On the back, the mobile phone sports a 20.7-megapixel camera with LED flash, auto-focus and support for recording videos in 4K resolution. A VGA front camera for making video calls was also included in the package. Connectivity-wise, the smartphone features support for 4G LTE networks, as well as the usual Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi hotspot, and DLNA capabilities. A built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS for navigation purposes is also available inside the device. The Sony Xperia Z2a will arrive on the market with a non-removable Li-Ion 3000mAh battery inside, capable of delivering up to 19 hours of talk time, or up to 740 hours of standby time.

Announced in Black, White, and Turquoise color versions, the Sony Xperia Z2a runs under the Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system version right from the start. However, it also features Sony’s own customizations and exclusive applications loaded on top. The same as the Zperia Z2 before it, the new mobile phone will arrive on the market with a dust- and water-resistant body, with IP55/IP58 certification, despite the fact that it sports a plastic back cover, and not a glass one, the same as its predecessor. According to Sony, users in Taiwan will be able to purchase the new mobile phone starting next month, yet specific info on its availability date and pricing has yet to be offered.
