Sony Xperia P2 leaks with flagship specs and compact size

The Sony Xperia Z4 was recently announced with very little fanfare. We drooled over the Sony Xperia Z3, but they didn’t make many improvements with the Z4. We’re still waiting for that killer next phone from Sony, and it looks like the Xperia P2 could be it.

The Xperia P was a mid-range phone released back in 2012. You may remember it for the transparent strip that would light up with a notification. Leaked specs and diagrams have revealed a follow-up to this device, but with flagship specs. According to the leak the new P2 has a 5.2-inch 1080p display with tiny bezels. The camera will be a revamped 12MP shooter. Other specs include a massive 4,240 mAh battery, 3GB of RAM, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810.

This is one of those leaks that sounds too good to be true. If Sony really does release a device with these top-notch specs and tiny bezels it will be a hot item. The beauty of this device is it has similar specs to the Z4, but the small bezels allow it to be much smaller. Huge phones are just not for everyone. What do you think about the P2 leaks?

LG planning to launch a second flagship smartphone in 2015

Samsung won’t be the only South Korean company to launch two flagship smartphones this year. Focus Taiwan reports that LG is looking to introduce another flagship device in the second half of 2015.

This follows the launch of two very nice smartphones in the LG G Flex 2 and LG G4, as well as an assortment of mid-range and entry-level options to fill out the market. It isn’t all that strange to hear that the company isn’t satisfied with the size of their current 2015 roster.

Much of their motivation comes from the success of the strategy last year, when the LG G3 and LG G Pro 2 combined to drive some of LG’s best smartphone sales in the company’s history. With the LG G4 being a sizable upgrade over yesteryear’s option (read our LG G4 review to find out how) there’s no reason to suggest they can’t follow-up with an encore performance.
