Sony Xperia Z with Stock Android to Arrive in July

Japanese mobile phone maker Sony Mobile is rumored to plan the launch of a new flavor of the Xperia Z flagship device, meant to provide users with the stock Android experience starting with the next month.

The move would allow the handset vendor to join the vanilla Android party along with Samsung and HTC, both of which have already announced smartphones that would feature the stock Android experience.

For the time being, however, we should take the info with a grain of salt, although Android Geeks, which first reported this, claims that all will be officially announced in the not too distant future.

An Xperia Z “Google Edition” would certainly help the vendor boost sales, while also allowing it to keep up the pace with rival high-end smartphones such as Galaxy S 4 and HTC One.
