looks like white balance is a lot better. It looks the cybershot team really just trying to get the hardware out there asap and slowly improve the software post release. Because anything that comes down to software can be improve over time but hardware is set in stone. |

hardware could have issue as well. otherwise, the same improvement can happen with Z1, but they haven't done it. unless it's for some other business reasons |

BTW, the original Sirius rumour mentioned 32GB onboard, but the prototype has 16GB...
Isn't because of being a prototype ? or Sirius will have 32GB ?
I'll be very disappointed if it has 16GB... It's not about ( it has a microSD ) but it's about Android 4.1+ doesn't allow move to microSD for apps.. and some manufacturers decided to enable this feature because of low internal memory... in any way.. most apps still doesn't cache in the external microSD and still use the internal for this purpose like Google Music ( will cache the offline music in the internal ).. and all these rumour about offline support for Youtube also...
Basically, Android is moving toward limiting the use of external storage... and high-end phones needs to have larger internal storage to separate them from the rest...
I'm not saying most peoples want 32GB, but there's a large base that prefer 32GB over 16GB. and sony should address this matter...

^Samsung will manage to do that first I think. I mean, with their bloatware only increasing, they'll make a 64gb ROM and leave 16gb user accessible...

@CrownedAkuma
I was waiting for Z1 Compact, but I am short of money, so I bought Moto G, too. Waiting for it to be delivered this week. I am so eager to come back to Android from WP! Sorry for OT.

The comparison pictures look very promising!
Definitely some enhanced software.
The only question is whether the sensor itself is any different or not. Maybe a newer batch.
Nonetheless I like it

[OT]Bad days still ahead  
Moody's cuts Sony's credit rating to junk
The ratings agency said that while Sony had taken steps to cut costs and improve profitability, the benefits of those steps were emerging “slowly” and its key segments “seem unlikely to soon regain the robust profit levels seen historically”.
More Job Cuts
Sony has offered early retirement to workers at five factories across Japan – including one that makes cameras – as part of a move to cut costs.

Nope. But Sirius will have stereo speakers and the S-Force engine, though it is unknown if that is hardware or software based.
@smclion102: Damn. First Fitch Ratings in 2012 and now Moody's... Who's not accounted for? Standard & Poor's. It has Sony on the second-lowest investment grade and apparantly has placed it under review for junk status. Soon...

Ouch! I remember they cut Nokia's credit rating down to junk around 2012.
This makes me wonder how Sony's holiday Q numbers are looking. No word on how the Xperia Z1, and Z Ultra did for them.
Phone: iPhone 15 Pro Max Black Ti 512GB
Tablet: iPad Pro 11” 2020 Space Gray 256GB
Watch: Series 3 Nike Edition Space Gray
Droid: Huawei Mate 40 Pro 256GB |

^Sony said the Z1 is doing amazing for them, not long now before the numbers are revealed.

Rough times are ahead, but unlike many companies which faded, like Blackberry and Nokia, Sony are fighting.
The PlayStation brand is as strong as ever and the Xperia Brand is going from strength to strength.
The Camera division is making waves as it always has been.
Unfortunately, its the other divisions that are dragging it down considerably. Sony needs to make its Pictures, TV and Laptop division profitable again, and fast, to stay afloat. |

Sony's largest money bleeder is its TV division. It's high time for Sony to scale down on its TV division. |

2013 was sh*t for Pictures compared to 2012, 2014 is looking better with RoboCop, 22 Jump Street and especially The Amazing Spider-Man 2. And god I hope one of the those other unknown movies would be a surprise hit. But I think they aren't really getting much from Pictures anyway.
They need a refresh to their laptops, something like what they are doing with the Xperias. I don't know what else they can do with their TVs.
