Any Chinese here who can translate the specs of this selfie camera? Does it say anything about the new curved sensor?

nothing in the press release here
http://www.sony-asia.com/corp[....]Cyber-shotDSC-KW11fromSony.pdf
But maybe more information on other sites. Screen resolution is 854 × 480, probably this screen.

I am curious what sensor it is though, since at 19.2 MP, it is a new sensor it seems and not the current one from the Z2. |

I don't think so because it's gonna be pricey and featureless just like QX100 and QX10.
I already have e mount lenses so I am only buying the unit. Unlike the QX100 & QX10 the lenses are built in so you pay for both. But we'll see how the actual product actually works. My assumption is, it will be cheaper than the a5100 just like the QX100 is cheaper than the RX100.

Does anybody know if the OLED display made in house or by a third party manufacturer? |

At this moment no one knows any details or no one is leaking anything yet. As for price, unknown at this moment.
QX10 here in poland it not that expensive, online retailer has it for 490pln or 117 euros, qx100 is around 330 euros, although it seems some sites are not restocking it.
For me it all depends on the price of the QX1, the type of sensor, APS-C or 1 inch and if it will be the newer sensor with hybird-AF. If it is not up to par, I will get the Alpha 6000 body to replace my nex5n this fall. |

@motvikt
They seem to make this device and the herd of mid range xperias almost exclusively for asia. i guess sony is selling good in some asian countries. |

$1300 US! The KW1 is aiming directly at this casio.
Also some information about the state of android and where Sony sits.
http://www.gsmarena.com/opens[....]id_fragmentation-news-9428.php
http://opensignal.com/reports/2014/android-fragmentation/
In the first fragmentation graphic Samsung had made 12 of the 13 most popular devices – showing why they have a 43% share of the market. This is actually a slight reduction since the last report – which showed Samsung having a 47.5% market share. Sony rank second with a 4.8% market share, showing quite how large the gap is between Samsung and second place.

There is a certain crowd of Chinese girls who will eat this shit up. Mistresses of rich guys will get this as a small gift (most of those plastic 'pretty' girls you see as bait on dating sites are in this group).
No curved sensor in the spec in Chinese.
I have a dig bick

Z3C has very bright screen. Compared to the old compact the daylight (in the sun) visibility is much better |

Same here. If this has the same sensor as the A6000/A5100 and the price is below the A5100(body only), I will definitely consider it. And defer my replacement purchase of my NEX-5R.

Wow.
My Z1 compact has a pretty bloody bright screen. Even set on minimum brightness, the auto-brightness sensor always pushes it up to something viewable and max brightness is even better than that...
If its brighter than 500-600 nits, then that's impressive. |

I am still wondering, if it is using the curved sensor, why hasn't Sony released a press release about it or mentioned it in the KW1 press release (english one at least), maybe it is mentioned in another chinese press release.
Unless Sony is waiting until photokina to officially show off the curved sensor. |

They are just hopeless about anything they do, so it seems they just don't care anymore.  |
