The brand-new Sony Xperia Z3 phone, announced today, will be coming to Verizon Wireless as the Z3v, according to reliable documents sent to PCMag.com.
Sony announced the Xperia Z3 today at the IFA trade show. It's very similar to the existing Z2, with a 5.2-inch 1080p screen, glass front and back, and a luxurious feel. Like the Z2, it has a 20.7-megapixel camera, although this one supposedly has a wider-angle view and spectacular low-light performance.
More importantly, though, this is the first Verizon Sony phone we've seen since the ill-fated Xperia Play gaming phone in 2011. The Xperia Play demanded special controller-compatible games; the Z3, instead, will work as a display for your living room PlayStation 4 when you're on your home network.
Sony announced today that the Z3 will come to T-Mobile, but not to any other U.S. carrier. But the Z3v documents sent to us show a Verizon model with a Verizon logo on the back and references to NFC and wireless charging. A screen shot shows Amazon Music, the Amazon AppStore and Kindle preloaded. The documents also show 32GB of storage, 3GB of RAM, and a MicroSD card slot in the Verizon model of the device.
We've asked Verizon for comment, but haven't heard back. We also don't know anything about pricing or availability just yet.
