To keep the Xperia Z3 in the news while working
on the next generation, Sony is about to release a
Purple version of the current flagship. Live images
have surfaced of the lighter of two purple shades,
leaked a week ago .
The color has been a customary option of the Z-
series, until Sony decided to drop it with the
Xperia Z3. The more formal Black and White
versions were instead complemented by Copper
and Silver green. Traditions, apparently, still are
what they used to be and Purple has seen a
comeback, perhaps in hopes of triggering
Valentine's day purchases for the significant
others.
We are, however, more focused on the upcoming
Xperia Z4 , which is expected to be announced at
the MWC in the beginning of March. The launch is
eagerly anticipated as previous generations have
mostly brought incremental upgrades to the
flagship, and this one is set to be more
significant.
