Sony Xperia A2 surfaces in leaked NTT DoCoMo brochure, Xperia A successor or Xperia Z2 Compact?

At the Mobile World Congress2014, Sony unleashed its current flagship smartphone – Xperia Z2. Since the launch of this phone, the firm has been making rounds in rumors regarding its mini variant, the Xperia Z2 Compact. But, latest media reports suggest that the handset will be launched in the native market, Japan with the moniker Xperia A2.

The Xperia A2 has been spotted in a NTT DoCoMo brochure. The smartphone bears the codename Altair, and is speculated to the miniature variant of the Xperia Z2 and appears to arrive in four color options which include Grey Black, White, Lavender and Orange. 

The report also reveals a partial spec sheet of the alleged Xperia A2 smartphone suggesting that it will include a 4.3-inch HD display similar to the Xperia Z1 Compact. Also, it is rumored to be powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor paired with 2 GB of RAM.

The Xperia A2 is said to pack a 20.7MP rear camera and a 2.2MP front-facing snapper along with 16GB of native storage space. At this moment, there is no word regarding the presence of expandable storage support.

It should be noted that the Xperia Z1 Compact is just three months old and Sony won't release the successor of the same so soon. So, it is highly possible that the Xperia A2 could be the successor of Xperia A and not the Xperia Z2 Compact.
