Canopus is not a Global device but a device for AU KDDI Japan.
Maybe Sony wants to wait for 64 bit Qualcomm and launch Z1 like device or maybe launch S805 with new camera at IFA, but personally haven't heard anything related to that theory as yet.

Or maybe, Sony still didn't finalized their plan which depends now more on Qualcomm roadmap...
a high-end 64bit from Qualcomm might be late 2014 or 1H15 from my expectations and reading around the net...

From my info, there is no higher end device than Sirius for at least first 7-8 months of 2014.
S5 is rumored to have S805, heck even HTC M8 is now rumored to have one. I can't believe Sony won't release a S805 to rival them especially that Sony is now a top tier Qualcomm customer, unless Qualcomm or any other SoC manufacturer has something much better for H2.

The tegra k1 looks super exciting, would love to see that ina 1H tablet. (Denver is 10x more exciting, but I can't wait that long).
DooMLoRD said this about the upcoming high end device:
something tell me that sony will make up for the slightly different hardware with better feature set

I agree with Ramu that there is no high end device for another 7 to 8 months. Like I said a few days ago Sirius is just an upgraded Z1 but it is supposed to be the first Sony phone which will release globally in all markets.
Sony is releasing one true flagship a year which will be sightly upgraded after 6 months.
By the way my source told me that Sirius is what Z1 was supposed to be( better display,camera and so on).

^So the next TRUE flagship, not an update, is not until 7 months?

Sounds like Sony can be written off as a major competitor, at least in the high end this year.

Ahh jeez, it's this same cycle every year though, guess they'll be back in the game in late 2014/early 2015 then.

Hmmm, then I think MWC would be enough for a "refresh" announcement. I still am waiting for Sony to go for a big solo event like Samsung and Apple.

The software you mean?
Edit 2:
DoomLord commented on the XperiaBlog post about Sirius:
something tells me that sony will make up for the slightly different hardware with better feature set (software wise)
Dunno if he was hinting, though.
Edit 3:
Another comment from him  :
they dont need to... they already have added a bunch of new things...
you will see soon

Yes, mainly software. The Z1 was rushed to market to put Sony ahead of the competition event though the software wasn't fully optimized. |

Darn, still 16 GB. Why can't they put at least 32 GB? 
DoomLord:
I have a feeling that in another 30-40 mins the device will be "unofficially announced"
