The biggest Sony Xperia Z7 rumors coincide with technological changes we’ll see over the coming years. As consumers make a push to have more choices to choose from, bigger options without having the added bulk, and more portability features packed in while not sacrificing price.

It sounds as though options won’t be a problem as we’re hearing three variants of the Z7 including a smaller, and more compact Mini, standard Z7, and Z7 Premium will all debut. A Z7 Mini is expected to cost less than the other two variants while still packing quite a punch. Outfitted with dual cameras, high end processor, HD resolution, and Google’s latest operating system out of the box.

The Z7 and Z7 Premium are likely to share similar specs and features including a robust front and back camera. Sony has done quite an amazing job over the years in introducing some amazing camera specs, and the same is expected in the 7^th generation model. More megapixels, wide camera lens, optical image stabilization, auto laser focus, and something entirely new are all expected.

We’re also hearing the next generation technology including 3D features including both viewing and recording are expected. 3D smartphone technology is a long time coming, especially considering much of what we expect comes outfitted right in the palm of our hands. For game lovers, picture lovers, and those just wanting to surf the net can become a whole new experience of the Z7 features 3D technology.

While nothing has yet to be made official and we fully expect Sony to be tight-lipped on the upcoming Xperia Z7 it doesn’t stop us from disclosing what we’re already hearing, and what we want to see. We’ve been getting a lot of questions on the specs ad everything else packed into the Z7 which we’ve detailed below. For now, we’ll tell you much more, but don’t expect the official word on the launch to come until the 2017 summer straight from Japan.

Sony’s intent on bringing back former consumers and maintaining current one’s can be seen with a much cheaper price tag than previous versions. If the current rumors are true, we can see a launch price of the standard Z7 coming in between the $600 – $700 range. The Mini will undoubtedly be the cheaper model with an expected price around $50 less than the standard while the much larger Premium will be slightly more.

One of the biggest competitors to the Xperia Z7 in 2017 will be the Xiaomi Mi7 which is rumored to launch during the summer also. Xiaomi has made a reputation of launching high-end handsets much cheaper than the competition which could be Sony’s drive to drop the launch prices of the Z7. Competition from stiff competitors is a good thing, and with Xiaomi’s push to go global this makes the most sense.

Below are the latest rumors on the launch price all three variants of the Z7 including the Mini, Z7, and Premium across most markets around the globe.
