I've been watching Kaz's interview with Verge and found it interesting when asked about alternate OS's to Android, the subject of Windows of course came up, but Kaz voluntarily brought up the Playstation OS as well. That's the second interview where I've seen him do that... I do wonder if he's bringing it up because they're looking at the PS OS for other mobiles or not...
Anyways, back to upcoming stuff, how're the current rumours looking at for the 6" phablet? If they make the phablet along the same design as the ZL, I could see the phablet only being a bit larger than Yuga. I saw a video on Youtube of Yuga vs. the Note 2, and the Note 2 is MASSIVE in comparison. If the Sony Phablet can have an even larger screen yet be much, much smaller, it'll be a real winner IMO.
EDIT:
maiaramdan, yeah it sounds exactly like that Yota device that was recently announced. It does make a huge amount of sense given you have all of that empty space on the back of the phone and E-ink displays use next to no battery life. If they do go through with it, I really do hope they at least allow you to browse the web with it. So long as you're in a well lit location and only plan on reading websites, it'll be far easier on both your eyes and your battery. Very excited about this!

I know so many people that love iPhones that are considering the Z. The premium build+water resistance alone is enough for them - the design is nice too, and the screen is amazing.
I have a feeling this is going to sell well. Now all that is required is good marketing. I've been seeing a lot of bus adds where I am by T-Mobile, O2 and phones4u for the T, presumably because its successor is coming, but the Z should have a lot of marketing at launch to ensure its presence is known. |

Yeah, I have a friend who's completely sold on iPhones, but I'll try to entice him over to Android with either the Z or ZL.
I can already imagine Sony will market the hell outta these phones too. Over the past couple of months I can already say that just browsing the web I see a LOT more Sony ads than I ever have on various websites. I don't watch TV much at all, but when I have, I've seen various Sony ads - mostly for the Vita though. Other than that I'm willing to bet we'll get more radio ads, billboard/bus ads, movie theatre ads and whatnot. I must say I do like the Youtube ads that came out yesterday and I hope they continue along those lines not only for SMC products, but all Sony products.
I suppose the chances of us seeing an Xperia phone with the camera tech of the RX100 camera isn't likely  |

alright guys.. let's keep this thread to rumors.. Z/ZL stuff in their respective threads.
SO.. since the flagship is out.. i'm guessing MWC won't have much as far as WOW factor? at least for me, since I typically get the flagship devices. At the moment, I'm choosing to wait for the 2H flagship. who else is with me!?
so.. what are the rumors for the 2H flagship at the moment? how bout a refresher to get this thread back in the right direction..
no no that´s just wrong to skip huashan and Dogo just because you´re not intrested in it!! i want to talk about them FIRST then the 2H flagship when Dogo and huashan is announced and out in public |

Pics and video look quite nice so far. Do we know if this is the final launch software, or will there be further improvements?

Yeah, I hope we get some info for those phones, the phablet and the other ones as well. I'm feeling there would be at least 3 phones for MWC, as they would likely want to seal every price range as soon as Q1 to not get left out. Assuming HTC, LG, and the other big ones except Samsung would announce their flagships on MWC, the announcement of the Sony phablet should dampen the hype for their flagships. |

2.the back is like Yuga (glassy) but this time it has a black&white indication screen can read on it messages and it is while on something like Sony e books low rays
Hmmm, like this Samsung Continuum's secondary screen but on the back or is it a large E ink-like screen?

As he mentions you can read e-books with the secondary display, I think it'd be something more like this
So long as it doesn't impact the size of the device, then I say why not. It'd be great if they could pack the full functionality of a Sony e-reader into the back of the phone!  |

hi guys
first of all congratulate me on my new XZ preorder
Congrats! 
1.the body and face is like Odin (that's why they was thinking to postponed Odin)
OK, so since they are going with the smaller bezel style is there any chance that the screen is under 5 inch? That would be awesome since we would get higher PPI (I think HTC's upcoming M7 with it 4.7 inch screen has a PPI over 500)?
2.the back is like Yuga (glassy) but this time it has a black&white indication screen can read on it messages and it is while on something like Sony e books low rays
Not particularly found of this one. I really want the elegance of the Yuga/Odin models, not a pure practicality.
3.will be water / scratch resistance and 'll have IR (that's why they called it one project)
4.the battery 'll be 2800
AWESOME!!
Btw. friendly tip; if any of the info starts leaking to some of the portals you should disclose any further info at our chat sessions.
Thanx for all of this, cheers!
Actually I'm hopping for a SoC that includes Power VR 6. Power VR series are kings of graphics!

Main camera is Exmor RS...Front camera is Exmor R....
Hey bipin i checked in sony India website,its mentioned clearly,i think we have to check once to confirm
In the Xperia ZL page , under Overview...scroll down....it says....
Great in all light conditions
With Exmor RS™ for mobile and HDR, Xperia ZL takes sharp photos and videos both in lowlight and strongly backlit conditions. The lowlight sensors on front and back make it the first dual Exmor R™ for mobile camera.
It also says....
13-megapixel camera
The 13 megapixel fast-capture camera and the next-generation Sony Exmor RS™ for mobile sensor makes Xperia ZL the Android mobile that delivers crystal clear photos wherever, whenever.
So i guessed front camera is Exmor R... |
