Hmm, I wonder if any of the improvements on this device will find their way onto the next Ultra. Or even if the next Ultra might have the same features as the even later flagship. Can't wait to see what's in store  |

Yes, this is not the true flagship. You can tell by the name of it: i1-2 (with Z1 being i1). This is just an incremental upgrade to keep the line fresh for the first half. About noise-cancelling, there's going to be a new DNC headphone announced along with this. Currently, there will only be 1 new handset for MWC, and 2 other will be T2 and E1 that just got announced recently. Wireless charging accessories for this device will also be announced. T2 will also be getting some interesting accessories.
Wireless charging! nice! |

I'm not talking bout that. I find them gimmicky and nothing more.
Talking about things like double tap to wake, power management , accessory management, the practical things that actually work properly and make a difference (to me)

Indeed the list of features being tossed around for this leaked device have me giddy as they're ticking off most of the items on my wish list. Stereo front facing speakers is a HUGE deal which I look forward to testing out. Wireless charging abilities is great, even if it comes from a case accessory. Glove mode and floating touch were features I was hoping would make a return on Xperia devices. Double tap to wake on... oh how I wish my Z Ultra had that. 4K and high speed camera functions - can't wait to play around with those. IPS display - w00t!
I would expect this phones camera to also have improved software, and hopefully a new JPEG algorithm, producing even more outstanding results than the Z1 as it is today.
If this device isn't this years flagship then I can only hope that device adds a xenon flash and an IR blaster (which may or may not be on this device) and we're set to go! It would be nice if they would finally find a way to give up the shatterproof sheets and still maintain the durability of the device. |

Its good to see Sony implementing more software/apps that are actually 'useful'. Take note, Samsung. I lost count as to how many things are on the, s4 as an example, that I would never even think of using.

+1
Which is very nice, I remember awhile ago I was doubting on how Hi-res audio will be put on a phone in just using standard jack and headphones. Glad to see Sony went ahead and put proper output through USB DAC amp.
I'm a little bit late on the leaks, but it seems Sirius, has gotten serious  Wonder what the flagship will be?

oh, its all subjective, not everyone find double tap to wake screen useful neither. Flip phone to block calls is actually more useful for me than I would have though, glad similar gimmics made it to the xperia lines. Now Sony just need to improve the small apps. It has lots of potential but at its current stage its pretty much useless right now. However samsung multi screen is what I wish xperia had have. |

Its reality and if Sony implements in a perfection ,they check the use of it and make us to proper use...no comments on Sony using these,there software department should be updated and that is what they are doing it. |

Can I take it then that the new flagship will not be shown at MWC or soon after? Are we expecting the true flagship to remain hidden until IFA?
Yes, I'm 99% sure that there won't be a big upgrade flagship for MWC. Regarding the 2H flagship, I'm not so sure when it would be revealed. Logically from what we see in the past, IFA would make sense. One issue that causes Sony to do 2 iterations seems to stem from suppliers. If Qualcomm release their processors earlier, Sony can move to 1 flagship/year strategy, but releasing their new processors mid year is hard to cope with. |

About the design, i have no doubt that sony can reduce or even cut in half the top and bottom bezel while keeping all the latest features but they always choose a thinner profile over smaller bezel and thicker profile. they obviously think that thinner profile will be appealing to more people over thinner bezel. G2's design is not genius at all - it doesn't have side buttons, it's not waterproof and it's the thickest flagship out of all. there are pros and cons in everything. i'm sure that even if sony will reduce the phone bezels dramatically then people will start ranting about the phones thick profile - "it's too thick - it's like a block!". i'm not sure what i'd like more - it depends on how thick a profile would be with a thinner bezel. i'd like to see sony release a highend device with the latter design with all the latest hardware features and see what reactions it gets.

Many of these features exist in Samsungs, from Glove Mode, Simple Home screen, to Power Management with options to clock down CPU, Auto Adjust screen tone to save power, Auto Adapt display and lower screen refresh rate. Accessory Management has also been around, not sure how deep Sony's one is though, but with accessories like the S View Cover, Samsung had no choice but to ensure they have this.
Double tap to wake and the answering machine thing stand out to me as something we haven't seen in Samsung, I liked the former in the LG G2, makes using the phone that much more fluid, so good on Sony for implementing it.

@Tsepz_GP
You are correct on that. I really wish Samsung, and other manufacturers, minimise the gimmicky stuff. And focus on simplifying things and implenting software that consistantly works. I just think Samsung are the worst at this.
Anywho. Moving on.
