The device, which has an aluminium frame, is about 0.4 mm thinner and eight grams lighter than its predecessor, the Xperia Z3, which was released in Canada last October.
Xperia Z4I will be available in white, black, copper and aqua green when it is released in Japan in the middle of the year, Sony said.
The company did not provide a release date or plans for release outside Japan.
It also didn’t provide a price, although Hiroki Totoki, president and CEO of Sony Mobile Communications, said the company planned to focus on the pricier half of the smartphone market, above $750, Reuters reported.
