@CrownedAkuma
the awkwardness starts with sony naming of z1 - it is a major upgrade over the z - yet sony name it z1. now sirius will be a minor upgrade over the z1, yet they name it z2. go figure.
what could make perfect sense: sony naming z1 - "z2" and sirius "z2 something">z3>z3 something, etc.

It would be way more confusing to launch this new device with a name such "Z1 Refresh" or "Z1r"... instead of simply dubbing it Z2, and the flagship of Q4 Z3... it would be way more linear and simple.
Or it could be another name for the Q4 flagship... as of now The Z, Z1, Z1 Compact and ZUltra all had the same design language... so if the rumors of a new design language, a mixture of Omnibalance and Arc, will be true for the Q4 deivece it could go with a different letter and start a new line of flagships i.e. Xperia X, XUltra, X1, X1compact and so on...
God, I hope not. Sony has finally started to adopt a comprehensible naming scheme for their phones (premium devices are Z_). I hope they don't throw that away and start with a new letter this year.

The windows division is under one roof now, and we know that they are going to merge Windows RT with Windows Phone .. it will raise the system requirements, but its worth it.. RT is a much better OS.
So they might release a Windows RT tablet and a phone based on WP, but just make sure that the phone is upgradable to the new OS that would combine the two. 2/3GB ram and anything from Snap 800 and up should do just fine. |

Windows RT =/= real windows, for me it can only be real windows 8.1 and not RT which is a waste of time seeing as there are very few good apps on windows now for RT. |

calling it z2 make sense for marketing, think about it, what is more effective when you say you got a Z1 refresh going up against GS5 or have a Z2 going up against GS5. |

iRimas posted two new pictures for D6503 Camera Manual Mode
The adding of higher resolution 16:9 format still shot, this is the maximum 16:9 format the sensor is capable of : 15.5MP
Adding 1080p 60fps also as well as the older 1080p 30fps, this is different than the time-shift, the later AFAIK will record 720p @120fps...

^That's great. Sony seems to hear to the criticism, many people wanted higher resolution in 16:9. Shouldn't be any problem for Z1 to get it.
Only thing that is missing now is a better algorithm

^The pictures posted by iRimas in XDA could mean that there's a new algorithm, though we don't know for now if it would be better.

If they are adding a 15.5MP option for 16:9, which is an odd MP count, might as well just go for a standard 12MP 4:3 as well, at 4000x3000.
Hopefully Sony will migrate these over to the Z1 once the 4.4 update hits and not after this supposed device goes on sale. |

I have no problem with the naming being Z1 - wait 6 months - Z2 - 6 months - Z3 - etc, BUT does that mean the Tablets and Ultras will miss a number in between every time (because they're on 12 month schedules)? i.e. we don't see a Z3 Tablet or Z5 Tablet?
To me, that is what will confuse people.
I have a dig bick

Naming is confusing... but we don't know yet what is the final name, it might be Z1x or might be Z2...
I hope I enter a coma and wake on 25 Feb., and then enter a coma again and wake when it released here 
Ops.. I forgot my birthday on 22 Feb Sony dear, I don't mind any gift from you

@Xajel... Like Eric cartman with the Wii....
Other pics Thanks to iRimas this time screenshots about 4k, Creative Effects and Timeshift Video.
4k
Creative Effects
Timeshift Video
Creative effects have a really different UI, with video and phots and a different way so select the effect... Shame:( I like the previous UI qith all the effect together! I like the Icon for the App...
Nothing interesting in the Timeshift... it seems...
Whereas in the 4k there do not seem to be an option to limit video lenght, but maybe it is just not viewable...
Also what is that little Pin in the Creative Effects shot? is it the Geotagging?
iRimas is online and active... he ansewered two questions already... so if you have an account on XDA and have questions... well just go and ask

Yes, that little pin is the Geo Tagging icon. The PIN means it's locked. There is a GPS icon that means it's searching for you. My XS, since 2.3 has it.
