Sony Xperia Z3 to be released by T-Mobile?

While the Sony Xperia Z2 wasn’t launched by any US mobile operator, both the Xperia Z and Xperia Z1 were made available via T-Mobile. So it may not come as a surprise to hear that the (yet to be announced) Xperia Z3 could also find a home at T-Mobile.

According to TechnoBuffalo, a “trusted source” has it that the fourth largest US mobile carrier is planning to release the Xperia Z3 when the smartphone makes its debut. Most probably, the new Xperia will be announced by Sony on September 3, during a pre-IFA 2014 press conference, so T-Mobile may start selling the handset shortly after that. Pricing details aren’t available for now, but we’re expecting the Z3 to cost at least $500 (off contract) - just like any other flagship smartphone made by a major company.

If we’re to believe all the rumors that showed up recently, the Xperia Z3 will have the same 5.2-inch 1080p display of the Z2. Moreover, it’s said that the handset would come with a 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, 3 GB of RAM, and a 20.7 MP rear camera - so it won't be too different from the Z2. However, the new Xperia should be thinner, allegedly having a 7mm-thin body. Some photos that reportedly show the Xperia Z3 can be seen below (though we can not confirm their authenticity).
