^^^ finally the new UI
Thought it's just a minor update to the UI, and I still hate that rectangular background in the app drawer... I like it empty with no bg...

Maybe they will make a fully new UI for Android 4.4 KitKat |

http://www.xperiablog.net/201[....]chipset-to-launch-with-kitkat/
Qualcomm MSM8974AB chipset with 2.3GHz quad-core processor and Adreno 330 graphics.
5-inch 1080p display ,
3GB RAM,
20.7MP rear camera
2.1MP front camera.
If the only difference between Z1 and Sirius is that the latter has 1 GB Ram more it won´t be worth getting it...  Sony has to have something else then this... I bet they´ll name it Z1+ too just to confuse people

@BenLing, I hope so !!
@sami92a,
We know that there's will be a slight upgrade to Z1, better SoC and more RAM ( and maybe 32GB Internal ) are good upgrades... As far as what we have now from leaked info.. Sirius isn't the 2014 flagship

nobody mentioned it but the background graphics is exactly like ps4 UI background with minor change in effects, which is cool.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkRIUxGFsSU

Well I'm still passing on Z1 for:
-Screen (I want an IPS)
-Bezel (just a minor thing, they do not bother me too much)
-16 GB memory (i would love at least 32GB)
So as long as they improve the screen quality (which I have high hopes seeing the T2 Ultra and the Z1 Compact, and for the fact that it will be a 5.2" and not a 5.0") and the narrow a bit the bezel (would love the SAME dimensions of the Z1 with a 5.2" screen) for me it's an instant buy :3
Also hoping for them to retain the IP55/58 with the Jack uncovered and the magnetic charge. also hoping in a better flash (not necessarily Xenon, I'd prefer dual led)...

You are right... would love to see them unify their UI between Bravia, Vaio, Xperia, PS4, Cybershots... it would give a bigger sense of cohesion of the Sony branches
BTW referring to the slightly updated UI...
- Has they ditched the coloured Icons (different for themes)?? I hope NOT! I loved them
- Would love to see the new Lock Screen Images for each theme

AFAIK it's another high-end.. I think zomg mentioned that neither Sirius or Canopus are the flagship while both are high-ends.. but @evleaks mentioned that Sirius is the flagship...
I believe that Sony is preparing another flagship with 805...
This is if the multi high-ends + one flagship is going to be this year... but if there's more than one flagship.. then I believe @evleaks is correct mentioning Sirius as a flagship.. as there's another one coming later with 805...

Do we know anything about the battery from this leaks?
The other specs sound good imho, it just a refresh or whatever so it's ok.
@CrownedAkuma:
Totally agree with you.
Im gonna get it, too!

From my info, there is no higher end device than Sirius for at least first 7-8 months of 2014.

Interesting...
So Sony won't have 805 from the beginning ?
We have two main high-ends.. Sirius and Canopus.. Sirius is almost the most known one and is meant to be released in Feb./March
Canopus in another hand is meant to be released later this year... we know Sony's habit of having September/October release for the second one...

Me too. I just hope, that they don't rely too much on the Xperia Z Ultra WiFi...

This isn't the only card Sony has up their sleeve. So, they have decided to wait probably until IFA again?
