Sony Xperia XZ3, the company's first smartphone to run Android 9.0 Pie out-of-the-box, has been launched by the Japanese phone giant at its IFA 2018 event in Berlin. At launch, the company announced that the Xperia XZ3 would pack in 4GB of RAM. However, it seems that the smartphone will be sold in a 6GB RAM variant in Taiwan, according to the official specifications listed on Sony's website. This is in line with the Sony Xperia XZ2 that got a 6GB RAM variant exclusively in Taiwan and Hong Kong, compared to 4GB RAM everywhere else.
