Guys
Z1 successor will be named Z1s and it will be appeared at the first half maybe CES
Z2 will be in the second half of 2014
Z2s will be the first half of 2015
Z3 will be in the second half of 2015 and so on
But for the mini and the ultra Will just be with no s
As Z1 ultra, Z1 mini
Z2 ultra, Z2 mini as so on
This is the way the naming will be
For the mini it will take the Z1 name and internals but come with the s
For example Z1 mini will be appeared with Z1s but Z1 mini is simply Z1 internals and Z1s will be with the New 805 sd
The s will maybe turn to be just as upgrade with as the Xperia S and Xperia SL, same external just more and inhanced internals
This information I just got it, from the same source that told me about the Z and ZL in the past |

Ahh so they are gonna do as Apple is doing with the names and just internal upgrades... But whats with the rumour Dacha told us that Z1 mini won´t use the same internals as Z1 is using?

@maiaramdan
Cool info man, thanks. keep it coming. 
good move. i think that this is good for branding and marketing because they release each new flag ship about every half a year so a number change every half a year is way too fast and does not fit that short time frame and will confuse consumers. though it works for apple for annually release but it's reasonable and makes sense i think more then apple name strategy. i think the reason for the S this time is that the Z2 will have more drastic changes, like that JDI W-RGB OLED panel, wireless charging, 64 bit snapdragon, a design change, and maybe the new thin xenon chip, and who knows what. but i have no doubt that the Z1s will be a great upgrade from any phone older then the Z1, like Z, HTC one, S4, etc...
i wonder what the S stands for to sony. for apple it's "Speed" right?

@king-james
i think you want to criticize sony for releasing a new flagship every half a year then their "s" name choosing because S name is a result of the short time frame...
the only wrong thing i find about the "s" is a lack of naming originality.

so only one ultra and mini per year!
also seams like less mid range and low range in the second half of this year so maybe they will mainly be released first half of the year.
I'm glad though if there are less devices made per year so more effort can be put into a few really great devices. I think sony would also make more money that way because each product would be for sale for longer.

I'd say the mini was almost in a class of it's own. I'd be happy with the way things are right now, Z2 Z2s. Z Ultra s, Z Mini and a couple of tablets.

+1. Even if it doesn't sound very original, it's much better than to pretend (maybe too harsh) the next Xperia Z flagship after just a half year.
Oh, and in Maia we trust  .
Phones:
W800i | K800i | K850i | W902 | Xperia S | Xperia Z1 Compact | Xperia Z5 Compact | Xperia XZ1 Compact
Firmwares:
R1AA008 | R1CB001 | R1EA031 | R3EA037 | 6.2.B.1.96 | 14.4.A.0.157 | 32.4.A.1.54 | 47.2.A.11.228 |

+2 adding the s makes clear it's an update. Not something new.
I would prefer if manufacturers wouldn't fload us with 100 models each year. It's impossible to keep up.

What's wrong with updated flagships? As long as they get the support a flagship product should, what's the problem? |

@Away
there is good and bad in everything, but since most people don't buy a phone every half a year i will write the bad:
less anticipation. updates not as big. less time to focus, optimize and test the device before release (?) - i said that before but someone here said that it's not a problem because sony have different teams working on each phone long before it's release, but wouldn't more working resources on one product instead of two bring more complete product for release time? it's kind of sucks to be early adopter cause then you wait for firmware updates to fix this and that problem... more focus on one device - less problems (?)
