Android Pit citing a Taiwanese website called Sogi earlier reported that the two new devices (Xperia Z4 Compact and Xperia Z4 Ultra) have allegedly appeared in an Indonesian telecom certification list.

"All we have is the model numbers, but it seems like a good fit. The Xperia Z3 compact model number comes from the D5800 series, and the Xperia Z Ultra from the C6800 series. It seems reasonable to believe that the E5803 device from the list is a successor to the D5803 Xperia Z3 Compact, and the E6683 could be a follow up to the C6683 Xperia Z Ultra," Android Pit said.
