Sony’s anticipated Xperia Z3 smartphone has leaked out again in new pictures. While the Xperia Z2 is still hard to come by if you’re stateside, Sony is already prepping its successor, the Xperia Z3. In these new pictures, we can see that the Xperia Z3 is a little more curved than its hard-edged predecessors, The sides are slightly rounded and feature a variety of ports including microSUB, microSIM, microSD, 3.5mm headphone, and a magnetic connector for docking and such. A dedicated camera button is also included.
Speaking of the camera, a picture of the back shows us the same 20.7-megapixel Exmor RS sensor camera that came with the G2. A speaker can also be seen, but a second one, as on the Xperia Z2, is nowhere to be found. A picture sizes up the Xperia Z3 next to the original Samsung Galaxy Note and they look pretty similar in size, with the Z3 having a narrower body. Other specs are still unknown, but as the leaks continue, we should begin to know more.

Why Are Songs on the Radio About the Same Length?
Songs seem to be around three minutes – but of course not all songs are that long. The phonograph might be to blame.
