Sony Xperia Z4 reportedly headed to Verizon, LG G Pad X 8.3 and HTC Desire 562 too

Every once in awhile, former tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) comes out of retirement to drop some leaks on us. Even if that gorgeous HTC One M9 render never came to fruition (we can dream), Blass is back with some info on a handful of Android devices that could be headed to Verizon later this year.

Now, the Sony Xperia Z4 had a quiet launch in Japan a few weeks back and even if it wasn’t the complete redesign we were hoping for (and what Sony desperately needs), that doesn’t mean the phone doesn’t offer a solid combination of hardware and utility. Here’s the quick specs sheet:

Sony Xperia Z4

• 5.2-inch 1920 × 1080 display


• Snapdragon 810 chipset (64-bit)


• 20.7MP Exmor RS camera with 4K video recording


• 5.1-megapixel wide-angle selfie cam


• 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage w/ microSD slot


• 2930mAh battery


• 146 x 72 x 6.9mm, 144g


• Android 5.0 Lollipop

According to @evleaks, the Sony Xperia Z4 will launch on Verizon at some point in the future and although there have been rumors of an even higher-end “ Sony Xperia Z3 Neo,” there’s no reason to believe this tip refers to that. The Z4 is also said to be joined by the LG G Pad X 8.3, HTC Desire 562, and the Apple iPad Mini 4th Gen. No dates have been announced at this time.
