A little under four months ago, Verizon shared word that it would soon start selling a new Sony smartphone – one you couldn’t find anywhere else. The Xperia Z4v was to take the spring’s Xperia Z4 flagship and upgrade it with a quad HD display (as well as a slightly larger battery).

Sony Xperia Z4v gets a mid-August ETA on Verizon

Three weeks back, Verizon helped introduce Sony’s latest Android, the Xperia Z4v.

Sony Xperia Z4v coming to Verizon with quad HD screen

Sony’s recent smartphone flagship releases have been the story of one phone with many names. Japan got the Xperia Z4, only for Sony to bizarrely rename the handset the Xperia Z3+ for broader international distribution.
