Sony, the Japanese mobile phone maker is preparing some of new Xperia smartphones to be unveiled on CES 2014 and MWC 2014.

Sony also plans the launch of multiple smartphones at CES, and that two of them will be codenamed Sirius and Canopus (Xperia Z2 was rumored a few months ago to be codenamed Avatar).

These all are Xperia Z2 rumors as nothing is confirmed officially yet. However, considering the fact that Sony had launched Xperia Z at CES 2013, it would not come as a surprise if it did a similar move with the upcoming Xperia Z2 handset.

Unlike Samsung, Apple and LG which follow annual release cycle for the launching of their next flagship smartphones, Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date and iPhone 6 Release Date and LG G3 Release Date; Sony refreshes its flagship devices twice a year.

The trend started with the Sony Xperia Z launch in February, folled by Sony Xperia Z1 release date in September. This indicates that the next generation Sony Xperia Z2 launch date could be as soon as first quarter of 2014.

But, even if Sony Xperia Z2 handset revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show 2014 in Las Vegas in January or at Mobile World congress in February, Sony will still require time until March for an Xperia Z2 release date in the market.

There are some recent news reports which suggest that Sony is planning to launch this Sony Xperia Z2 smartphone in April 2014.

On one hand, some suggest that the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 800 processor only, which was also underneath the Xperia Z1. While other suggests that the Xperia Z2 will get a 64-bit processor which could be Qualcomm’s yet to be unveiled processor.

The speed will make future Sony Xperia Z2 devices recharge fully in just an hour but will not damage anything.
