It does make me wonder what the Z4 strategy will be. Will there be a Z4 Compact, or will the Z3 Compact have to hold out until the Z5 Compact?
Still dreaming of a Z Ultra replacement. huiyi, if you happen to know anything, or if you happen to have any info on that rumoured Z3x, I'd very much appreciate some comment

This year there will be no Z4 ... Z3X just internal code! ! Too many Z3X uncertainties! ! The Z3 is no orange! ! Z3C probably more colors! !

Z3X rumors true so far? 6.1" QHD screen, s810, 4gb ram, AndroidL, 22 Mp curve sensor, tiny bezel?

Thanks for the response and pics huiyi!
I really do like that they have increased the size of the various buttons. The one on my Z Ultra is a bit tiny, to be honest.
Regarding the Z3x, ah well I can easily live with my Z Ultra until a suitable successor comes. In a way I actually prefer it if they don't make a successor until late next year because by then we should be seeing a lot more features in Sony phones like wireless charging and whatnot. The bigger the gap when I do my next upgrade, the better

More likely scenario, the cases are from Sony to hide the phone or make it look different/bigger when they are testing it, or when a carrier tests it, less likely scenario, a case manufacturer.

I also thought about this, but I'll be sticking with the Z1 Compact probably.
4.6" isn't that compact anymore, but these dimensions make up for it. Must be the best screen-to-Sony-phone-size ratio since the ZL, pretty damn impressive. Also pleased that they keep the 720p screen. Hopefully Sony also grant it 3 GB RAM. The design hasn't convinced me yet though, but this was often enough the case, when something leaked. Also, the arrangement of the camera seems a bit strange. First the sensor, then the label and at last the LED, a bit odd...

If the flash is away from the sensor there should be no flash bleeding issue.

Yeah, probably put a bit of metal or plastic between the two to well and truely make sure there was no bleed.

Or put an opaque frame around the flash so the light will not reach the glass at all

Did the Z1c still have the shatterproof sheet on it? That might explain the numerous scratches

I've read way back in this thread that Z3 will be dual-sim. Pls confirm /infirm it now, since pictures are available. From my knowledge, i see only one sim tray. Yet again, i wear glasses.

I wouldn't bet on the international version of the Z3 being dual-sim, the images look single to me.
But, they may do a dual-sim variant for China. Samsung have done so in the past for flagships.

Xperia Z3 Compact is 8.16mm.....................
Posted by HxH
@nod
how that possible?, in recent leaked dimensions reveal at 8.8mm
or do you mean 8.6mm, which will look more plausible
-------------------------------
again really hope this Kyocera's sapphire shield could make it way to Xperia in 2015

^ sapphire would be so cool for xperia high end devices since almost all of the front and back are made of glass. would be awesome definitely if all these scratch tests are true. they should start incorporating sapphire to the front glass for start to be competitive. it's quite obvious from a year ago that all companies slowly start to adopt sapphire. they should not be behind like they were with ips display.

Am I the only one who thinks GN4 and iP6 will be awesome devices? The leaked Note 4 looks amazing, way better than Z3 if you ask me. And everything else (camera, display, performance etc.) seems to be vastly improved. iPhone 6 also seems to be awesome with bigger and higher quality display and sapphire protection, new iOS and 1/2.3 camera which will probably be huge jump from today camera quality.
I think Sony simply decided not to compete. I hope for a T to Z jump from Z3 to Z4.
I have to say Xperia Z2 offers the best experience among current flagships this is the reason I believe Sony has something amazing in their pipeline. The only reason I went for m* was that Z2 here costs 120% of M8 and 140% of GS5.

Why no dual led on the Note 4? Very disappointing thay Samsung won't put dual led on their phones, if they aren't gonna put xenon on tben at least put a dual led on instead.

Yeah, design-wise the recent leaked N4 really looks great! And its specs, especially the 64 bit Exynos soc makes it more stunning. Although I'm not a fan of Samsung phones (thanks to TouchWiz), I would take this over the Z3! 2k display, 3GB (maybe even 4GB) RAM, 32/64GB ROM, 16MP OIS camera, IP68....
Looking at the amazing phones on the horizon (N4, Alpha, IP6, Nexus 6...) Q4 2014 won't be easy for Sony.

Posted by Ricky D
It would seem Sony are still half a cycle behind competitors. The last 18 months of slowed technological advancements have hidden this a bit, but the leap to 64-bit may expose the gap once more.
I think Sony know this which is why they didn't put a brand new design on Z3, juust an tweak. The brand new designs will come with the vastly updated internals.
Just speculation.

People seem to have this sort of belief that dual LED flash is better than a single LED flash. I would say that is not always the case.
It all depends on the output of the LED flash, you can have a single LED that can flash brighter than a dual LED.
I remember one of the old nokia dumbphones that my friend had dual LED flash, but my
Hazel back then had a brighter single LED flash.

It's not just about brightness... you can have a single LED with 10W output ( Cree make these, I have three flashlights which uses them, and man these are bright !! and yes only one LED ) but duo to power and heat, you can't use these on mobile phones...
It's about colour accuracy, most white LED are not actually white, they tend to have a little bit blueish accent, and low-K ones have yellowish accent, and also they degrade with time changing the colour temperature also... not to mention the variation between each LED and another which might be small but exists...
dual LED might use two LED's with different colour temperatures to create a more natural colour which will be hard or expensive to make using single LED... not to mention that if the manufacturer want's also they can control the intensity of each LED to change to perfect the scene and to overcome the LED colour temperature degradation over time...

@JohnnyNr.5
Yes, this time z3 compact may not be as special as z1c because galaxy alpha will rival it with high end spec in compact body. still, above all sony's problem is themselves - no marketing, no availability and no carrier support.

Galaxy Alpha??? Rival??? HAHAHA : Lol:
Posted by goldenface
No, the Compact STILL has no rival. The Gxy alpha was mostly hype.
Posted by amirprog
^ I hope you both are right because i want to see sony going up but look at g alpha spec:
4.7" Super AMOLED HD
Exynos 5433 or Snapdragon 805
2GB RAM
32 GB or 64 GB
premium design
from here:
http://www.phonearena.com/new[....]er-release-date-tipped_id59205
maybe phone arena is misinformed? i never bother to look for g alpha spec and i'm not interested in buying one.
anyway, i do hope z3c will have an edge with waterproofing, better camera, more premium design and more. from early spec and leaks i would go for z3c without blinking, but its just me.
Posted by JohnnyNr.5
@goldenface why Hype? The Alpha is a real deal (made official in Russia recently by samsung) and competitor of Z3 Compact and IP6. High-End specs in a "small" body: 4.7" @720p, 2GB RAM, 32/64GB RAM, Exynos 5433 64 Bit-Soc, IP-certification and gimmicks like heart-rate sensor.
Link to Alpha's russian presentation: http://www.sammobile.com/2014[....]off-the-galaxy-alpha-in-russia
So yes, it's the real McCoy.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I can't see anywhere that mentioned the Galaxy Alpha being IP certified?

Personally I don't like Amoled screens. I think Snap 805 will be less energy efficient due to separate radio chip.
I guess you meant premium materials, I seriously doubt Samsung can properly design a phone (IMO). I think Wave series were designed better than any of their Galaxies.
And as always there is TouchWiz.

I really hope Z4 will come with the new Type-C USB connector as it becomes closer to launch
Main features :-
1- USB 3.1 based
2- can deliver more power
3- small, perfect for mobile and ultra thin devices.
4- the plug can be inserted in both sides, no need to flip the plug to fit..
5- both ends of the cable uses the same plug, not like current cables which uses micro-USB on the mobile side and Type-A on the charger/PC/laptop side
Disadvantage :-
1- Not compatible with any of current USB plugs/connectors
2- devices will need some time to adopt it, I guess we will see some Type-A to Type-C cables to counter this issue
Don't know if it will support the USB 3.1 power delivery feature as it depends on both the cable and connector/plug, the maximum power delivery supported by USB 3.1 specification is 100W (20V @ 5A), more than enough to run and charge your laptop !!
supporting the power delivery will mean that you will be able to charge your laptop with this cable, and the same charger and cable can be used to charge your phone and tablet also..
