There's no firm release date, of course, and the schedule could still slip back to "fall 2015". Besides the Xperia C4, Sony is also anticipated to introduce the much-awaited Xperia Z4 - a smartphone destined to rival the Apple iPhone 6 in the premium segment of the smartphone market.

The Sony Xperia Z4 recently spotted at a popular benchmarking site, revealing the key features of the flagship smartphone. The device is shown running Android 5.0.2 Lollipop OS and powered by Snapdragon 810 Octa-core CPU, Adreno 430 graphics engine, 3GB RAM and 32GB of native memory.

On the camera front, it is said to sport 20.7-megapixel rear-facing camera, same as its predecessor Z3, but at the front, the company has bumped the front-facing camera to 5.0-megapixel.
