depends on how you look at it, from Sony side, sure. For customers no, the moment the sales rep said weaker or older SoC, whether the customers even understand or care about it at all they will turn their head towards other options. Thats like 99% of the time. Its not like the z3 cost a lot less, like Im talking about at least 100 USD difference too even compete with Note 4 etc. That's how Samsung are able to shift a lot of phones and have the burnt into average joe mind that Samsung = latest and greatest. Even Crap like S4 mini before sell, probably more than Z1C. Cheaper to build sure, but it doesn't mean crap when you can sell any of them. Sony bad rep with outdated has burn into many people minds already, If people ever check again now they will say, same old sony overprice outdated crap.

Z3 is the most complete and polished Flagship right now!
Note 4 scores even lower than or equal to Z2 despite of having the latest s805... thanks to that gimmicky 2k resolution. So s805 and 2k combo doesn't make much sense.
Not to mention the outstanding battery life Z3 is going to have just coz of S801 and 1080p coupled with new battery tech !
If I were to buy a phone now I wud happily choose Z3 over Note4 |

Which I am doing. I have updated to the Note 2 3 before but I feel it's time to break that trend.
As a matter of fact, I haven't been this excited for a new phone since I got the Note 2.

Hi guys,
Its been a while since my last post. I wonder does anyone have any idea, what might Z4 specs be? And what feature will make Sony's flagship to stand out from the crowd? |

recent rumored specs of Z4: QHD-Display, SD810, new/different battery-technology and new camera sensor. With Abdroid 5.0/L Sony will introduce a completely new UI.
Personal note:
Most likely its design and build quality will make it stand out from the crowd. Other companies want stand still while Sony is evolving. You can be sure that Samsung, LG, HTC and those rising giants from China will have some "beast" hardware ready for MWC 2015. And I think that especially Samsung will stand out with the S6 after not so overwhelming sales of S5. |

I think we already know these info by now, what is not known mainly is the screen size will it stays at 5.2 or will have a slight increase ( 5.3 )...
of course along with other features like built-in Qi, and others...

That 8MP camera though...4 years in a row. They seriously messed that up!
I really hoped it was gonna be the rumoured 1/2.3" 13MP Sony sensor, which would've seriously rocked. Does anyone know if Sony have actually made this sensor? Or will make this, because that would be the best camera in Android/iOS.
Also the Z4 is getting the thinner 1/2.4" sensor?
Well 1/2.4 is not a standard sensor size and it would make no sense for sony to use such a size, I explained many many many pages back that there would be no space saving benefits from using such a sensor, instead, evolving the 1/2.3 sensor to be smaller would be the better option.
Hopefully the Z4 will have the curved 1/2.3 sensor. Fingers crossed.
There was a sensor roadmap posted here with a rumoured 1/2.4" sensor highlighted as the flagship one. But yeah, a curved 1/2.3" sensor would be better. Sony still need to improve their image processing though. Them or Android. Will Android L give developers any tools to help improve image quality? |

^The rumored 1.24" sensor was supposed to be for Z3, same as the rumored "entirely new design".

@xperiazultra
You are not a fool. z4, z4 ultra and z4 tablet trio are expected for mwc. just like z3, z3c, z3tc were for ifa. i would be surprised if not. safe bet. i don't see sony ditching the ultra line because they need to stay competitive. even if they bump z4 to 5.5" display they still need a bigger display in 6" to stay competitive imo because 6" is the new (and permanent?) standard for phablet display size.
@hellogoodbye
possible new features that come to mind like others mentioned and more:
5.5" qhd ips, s810, 4gb ram, usb 3.1 type c port, more changes in design and metal chassis, minimum of 32gb internal storage, curved sensor, two tone dual led, 3 dimensional ois, higher quality front facing camera, better battery life, ir remote, built in wireless charging, own reliable fingerprint scanning - some sites reported in the past that sony patented sensors behind the display panel that can be used for fingerprint scanning.
