Sony Press Conference in Hong Kong & Taiwan Next Week; New Xperia Flagship?

It’s believed that next week, Sony will be holding a press conference in Hong Kong and Taiwan where they will unveil new Xperia products. Specifically, on Wednesday the 27th, members of the press are to gather in Taiwan where the unveiling will take place. On the menu is believed to be a new flagship smartphone and tablets.

Details after the jump.

In the past few months, Sony has already announced and released the Xperia Z4 Tablet as well as their new flagship Xperia Z4 smartphone which is currently exclusive for Japan on NTT DoCoMo. Some rumors have pegged the phone coming to Verizon but not a lot of concrete evidence exists one way or another.

At next weeks press conference, it’s believed that the Z4 Tablet will be announced for more Asian countries like Taiwan which isn’t all that surprising. The most mysterious part of next week’s unveiling will be if the flagship smartphone revealed is the Xperia Z4 or if it’s the rumored Xperia Z3+ which is supposedly the next ‘real flagship’ smartphone from Sony that will have a worldwide release.

Making things more murky is that, until the Z4 was announced, many believed the phone would have been called the Z3+ and that a Z4 smartphone which was a proper followup to the Z3 would be unveiled later. As it stands, the current invitation sent out to press which can be seen above includes the following

Top camera, screen, sound, water, and design all rolled into one.

Along side top executives, Sony will be sending product development engineers from Japan where they are to talk about the all new designs. We’ll have more on this as it develops. Here’s hoping that we see some love for the West, be it the Z3+ or the Z4 or either, seeing how they could be the same.
