@Wishmaster89: It is an improvement, but compare to the leaked Cosmos, they have the capability to make it even thinner.
If they care about balancing the top and bottom bezel.... why don't they add some capacitive buttons on the bottom bezel? - to reduce those waste space?
@All: I can't really understand what they are thinking but with the same OmniBalance design, I don't think they are going to sell well.
The news about May release for different flagship is.... underwhelming. So does it mean that they are sticking with 2 flagships per year again?

@Kurt: I'm sorry for being such a whiner... but I might need somewhere to release my frustration 
May release might mean it will be sold around June or July (in some countries)? I fear that the market already crowded with many other devices (with the same specs)
The new HTC One already sold in many countries and the S6 and S6 Edge is dominating the android market (no source here,its just my expectation)

How so?It's better than S6 already.and battery life will destroy S6 plus water proof and better screen to body ratio.open your eyes.Sammy fans are exactly like isheeps these days(not refering to you but sammy fans in samsungarena).No caps.hell yeah.
Sony japan claims performance is twice the Xperia Z3
@unknownC151A.
Glad to see you are like me and not taken by Sammy hype.People say sammy changed everything.I think they need to get their eyes checked.that's how you omit waterproofness and Sd card because sheeps will praise it no matter what

ViziLeaks: "The Sony mobile device to be launched in Q4 this year is the main flagship, which will have flagship specs. Flagships never 'quietly launch'": https://twitter.com/vizileaks/status/590086779149103105
Indeed, international flag never quietly launch for a whole calendar year.

The funny thing is, Z4 managed to fit in much bigger battery compared to s6 with only 0.1mm difference  |

The may rumour is false probably. I expect the true flagship will be unveil at IFA. Well He's right, a true flagship never quietly launched. It will be all over their website, invitations and countdown if it's a real flagship.

Guys, look at the big picture. the rumors were true with only small negligible inaccuracies.
Z4 is a fantastic buy for someone with a z or older device.
do you think that sony will put their money on a flag announced quietly in japan?
well, stop thinking that and relax!

The Z4 is pretty much a stop gap for the Japanese market as their carriers demand new phones on short cycles. If it comes out for the rest of the world, what is the big deal? Can this Z4 not compete with the S6 and HTC? I think comparison tests will soon show you that it does rather well. It may look very similar to the Z3 but it is a decent update. It looks better than the S6 and has an SD card slot. The bezel argument is rubbish, bezels are similar to that of the S6 so that's not really valid. It's very slim yet retains its waterproofing. Yes, the Exynos will probably make the S6 perform better but the Z4 isn't as bad as a lot of people think. Some people were expecting too much, had it been a new design then everyone would've been happy. Sony will address the design in the next flagship. The Z4 is excellent, look at it from a neutral perspective and you'll see what I mean. I'm certain the video comparisons with the Z3, S6 and HTC will prove me right.
Regarding the leaks, I've seen models of concept ideas like the Y and tube designs, shapes more than anything. It's important to consider the engineering aspect of using such ideas so making a single piece tube design is probably not feasible. To fix such a phone would be a nightmare. The Y idea is something easy to incorporate. The phone will need to be durable, fixable etc. Other stuff that we don't consider is the cost of producing such phones so taking the tube as an example, how would you 'slide' a screen and internals into a glass tube and how much would it cost? What about the buttons on the side, would you cut holes in the glass to put a power button on? These type of things would make the phone too fragile. |

Z4 has better screen to body ratio than HTC and S6. It has a bigger battery than both phones. Pure fact. |

There's no way that Z4 announced in Japan is gonna be the official flagship for the year. Just simply not enough fan fare for their top of the line device. Bad naming on their part though as it should be a Z3 variant, I think.
Perhaps they are moving away from the Z naming? Looking forward to IFA ...

Please, enough of this useless bezel crap!
Z4/Z3 have better Screen to Body ratio then both S6 and M9.
I wonder why no one seems to complain abt them!
And this is purely a stopgap product that isn't intended be treated like a Flagship
For the Z3 neo/Z4 part- the naming schemes in japan are always different and according to wishes of carriers there.
For international model we might still see Z3 neo name. |
