nice photos.. so let me get this straight
Xperia Sirius 5.2" (the leaked photos from ben ling) I liked how Benling stated Xperia Sirius instead of Xperia Z2...
Xperia Altair 5.3" (the leaked back cover and the info from Dacha) --- i thought Altair is a refresh version of Z1f according to this http://apple-info.ldblog.jp/archives/rumor-xperia-2014.html
We are still unable to determine which of these are Xperia Z2. To me, it seems the Sirius is just a legit refresh of Xperia Z1, cause Xperia Z1s was just a T-Mobile variant. A better guess is that Xperia Altair is the Xperia Z2.
However, Xperia Sirius seems to be the one that is going to be announced at MWC 2014 Feb... No words on when we are going to see Xperia Altar as this is new information...
and the bezel doesnt look thin to me, its nearly the same size as a Xperia Z but an increased in screen size. if indeed the Sirius 5.2" is the Xperia Z2, i am not impressed Sony >_____< maybe ill stick with my Z for another year. The design doesnt differentiate Z1 and Z2 how can this be the Z1 at all. Not unless Sony really wants to wait till september of 2014 to announce a new design >.> like the Z1.

I just wonder what happen to the external speaker XZ1 seams to have wider , loader grid !
if we ends up with this device as Xperia Z2 , then I will ditch my XZ for XZ1 Compact looks much better for me ..

i think i get it now, earlier someone or you mentioned Z1 refresh will be 5.2 inch screen(D6503) Sirius fits in perfectly, and Z2 and following flagships will remain with 5 inch screens for now. Seems like whoever mentioned that is correct.
Seems like Sony is doing the following....
2013 H1 Xperia Z/ZL
2013 H2 Xperia Z1/Xperia Z Ultra
2014 H1 Xperia Z1 Compact/Xperia Z1 (refresh D6503)
2014 H2 Xperia Z2/Xperia Z2 Ultra
2015 H1 Xperia Z2 Compact/Xperia Z2 (refresh E6503?)
2015 H2 Xperia Z3/Xperia Z3 Ultra
and of course mid/low ranges of xperias will be announced between those... AND if my predictions are correct I think Sony wants to go head on with Samsung Galaxy S5 and Iphone 6 at the same time.... dude this is pretty damn hardcore lol

About the photos,
things i like: a bit thinner bezel - xperia z like, clean design, the LED indicator grill looks cool, i also like that they shortened the side strips from 3 to 2.
things i don't like: micro usb port should be exposed like the core has, speaker grill should be as big as the Z1's.
and what are the materials of this phone, metal or plastic?
all in all, doesn't seem to me like the Z2.
@maiaramdan
really 5"? strange. it doesn't make sense cause why would a company announce a high end sidekick of 5.2-5.3" and a flagship at 5"? flagship should give the "full experience" - meaning the biggest display in 5+" territory.

New benchmark leaked , surprisingly it's for D6603 , and just yesterday we have had couple of photos of D6503 ..

@XperiaCute
Yeah, now we can safely say that the strategy is the same as in 2013. 2 flagships. one at MWC, the other at IFA. D6503 is a sidekick. though, the general specs of each phone are much less clear. |

maybe neither of those are flagship phones.... according to previous infos
Xperia Sirius is D6503 [Z1 refresh]
Xperia Canopus could be D6603 [Z1 refresh variant?]
Xperia Castor could be Xperia Tablet Z2?
Xperia Altair Z1 f/compact refresh?
Xperia Z2 D6903?

@litoni
the Z1 refresh WAS Z1s. why would sony is announce yet another Z1 refresh phone, let alone 2 high end devices that none of them is a new flagship?
next tablet Z is surely at MWC. no one will argue on that.

@litoni
I read before that Xperia Canopus is a (Wi-fi only) mobile & it's 5" in terms of screen size ..
I assumed it kind of multimedia device so it's hard to believe it will be D6603 .
Xperia Castor is definitely a Tablet model it should named Xperia Tablet Z1 ..
" Xperia Altair Z1 f/compact refresh " Could be announced later on this year on japan , but the International version is said for 2015
@amirprog
I believe Xperia Z1 refresh should be called Xperia Z1 Pro ( much like Z Ultra , Z1 Compact ) and to be announce at MWC this year ,
BTW shouldn't Xperia Z2 carry D6903 code name ..

@XperiaCute
at this point, the different rumors are contradicting each other, let's trust our sense.
though, if one of the high end devices is really a wi-fi only then the possibility of Z2 not showing at MWC is higher.
