We have all been waiting for the release date of Sony’s next Smartphone along its Xperia Z series. While the phone has been in the works for quite some time, we knew it just wasn’t ready yet — thus, its non appearance at the MWC along side other flagships — and considering Sony’s mania for perfection in its devices, we were ready to settle back and wait before getting a look at the phone.

However, if a recent leak courtesy of leakster OnLeaks is true, here’s our first look at Sony’s upcoming flagship.

Its easy to see the similarity between the and it’s predecessor — the Z3.  In fact, the only differences we could see were  pretty minor such as the absence of the flap covering the card slots — It seems that Sony’s relying on something else to offer the IP protection — and the placement of the speakers, which are back behind thin slits near the edges. Other than that, its old school all the way.

Stay tuned as we keep you posted with more on this.
