Is it MSM8974AB or MSM8974AC? Tablet Z2 has AC according to official specs shown. I would have thought they would both have the same?
EDIT: Sony website says AB for both but in the announcement they were both stated to have the 801 (AC).

whats so surprising about the new processor? If it has to carry the name Z2, is pretty has to have everything better, even if its only marginally better. S801 is pretty much the only option available for them. |

Excuse me what is this shit? :< Has Sony became Apple, releasing same phone again, same design and a few minor upgrades that could actually made it to Z1 with no problem at all. Most dissapointing thing is the same camera sensor that wasn't too good on Z1...
So let's sum up... Z2 over Z1
- 3GB RAM vs 2GB RAM , that's nice
- Snapdragon 801 vs Snapdragon 800, probably won't even feel the difference.
- 5,2" vs 5" , nice
- Upgraded 3.5mm jack with noise cancelling
- Stereo speakers
- 4K video, Z1 could probably do that too...
- Some new sensors like barometer etc.
This phone should have been called Z1S. Sony will be crushed by competition with this, the only advantage they had, IP58 waterproof, will also make it to the Samsung Galaxy S5... Making the Z2 look like a younger brother -.-

Oh FFS!! That just killed my vibe! I just saw this on PhoneArena and was all excited, genuinely impressed by the specs, but if the ROM is 16GB then I'm out :/
It's stunning though, and for once their 1st half flagship has a brand new CPU, and the very best hardware plus 4K video, well done Sony, I hope they release a 32GB variant.
That's the Xperia Z1 dead, this is really what it was meant to be.

A couple of questions about the noise cancellation in this phone..
1) Does it work with any earphones or headphones or only with the bundled earphones provided in the package?
2) Just got myself a Sony MDR 10RNC, so what is the effect going to be when coupled with this phone??
