Well yeah.The pro rumor started from my source info but if there is a rumor about two pro/premium models it's not mine.I was told there will be a pro version not sure if there will be separate premium or not or they are the same.About update honestly at the moment I don't know anything that I can share and I don't really know anything about announcement time-line.

Well this whole thing about Monday started with this Zackbuks person. Have they said anything else since the initial message? I still dunno who this person is or what their track record is for providing leaks, so I suppose we can't be sure how reliable the info is.
It just seemed interesting that Zackbuks mentioned Monday, and then we soon after find out about an event on Tuesday that seems to be mobile focused. |

Well it's not that hard to dig into Internet and find out about event dates so I don't know if he has some insider connections or not. Has he posted anything else recently?

No idea. I had posted the image about the event on Resetera and someone there did a reverse search on it. They found that the image had initially been posted elsewhere on the net 5 days earlier, so Zackbucks very well may have seen that invite and made up something about Monday. That's why I was hoping to find out if they had a track record for reliable info. |

I see.based on Sony's super strong antileak policy I'm really skeptical.
Btw I really miss the SE days that phones leaked in full months before the announcement lol. Made the decision of holding out or going for the current line up much much easier

lol, yeah those were the days. We'd see prototypes months in advance 
Anyways, if these rumors are true then the new Premium is shaping up to be a monster...
LG P-OLED screen (hopefully 4K)
Uber camera with extreme low light capabilities and super duper slow motion
Probably 6GB RAM
Those things alone are enough to differentiate it from the baseline XZ2, I wonder what else they could possibly add to it. |

I hope( though very unlikely) that they add Concept Y design on top of all those. |

If I am not wrong ZB was right about XZ2c.
The 5" 18:9.
If all rumors are true, this phone will break the internet.
So guys, do you think PA will rate XZ2P at least 8.5?
They gave to XZ2 prize BEST of MWC.
Then only 8 after the review.
XZP got 8.7. Except the 4K screen , XZ2 does everything better.

Hmm, T3 seems to have picked up on Zackbucks rumor:
https://www.t3.com/news/sony-[....]e-looks-set-for-april-16-event
They seem to have some info about the camera that I don't think I've seen anywhere else:
"Rumours so far point to a possible name of Xperia XZ Pro which will come with a 4K OLED screen, Snapdragon 845 CPU backed by 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage. There is also rumoured to be a dual rear camera with an 18MP primary snapped with a secondary 12MP lens. So far so amazing and all other phone beating, then.
The battery is expected to be a 3,420 mAh unit and the phone is expected to be IP68 water and dust resistant so it should keep chugging along with you all day no matter where you are."
18 and 12 MP eh, interesting.

Hmm, just thought to check. The Sony event in that invite is slated for the 17th in Beijing, so y'all might want to double check what time that is for you. For me in Toronto that would be starting at 2:00am to 5:00am on the 17th. |

Those rumours about the specs of the supposed "XZ Pro" are fake. That came from one source, which as far as I can remember, comes from the comments section of an XperiaBlog article back in early January. He/She posted pictures that display specifications of the phone, which has the same specs as what T3 tells us.
Why do I say that it is fake? Because the person who 'leaked' the pictures forgot to close his/her inspect element window in his/her browser (Chrome).

Well about the absurd level of slowmo, I dont think so.....
Lets having an example:
All the mode of IMX400, even maximum one (19.1MP @ 120fps):
-4K HDR 24p on XZ2
-4K60p
-Slowmo FHD 960fps
-Slowmo 720p 960fps
-19.1MP 120fps
And "rumored" mode:
-4K 960fps
-FHD 2000fps
As you can see, Sony would have to improve multiple times the bandwidth of all components, from sensor, memory, and even connector to achieve that absurd kind of bandwidth need to transfer all of that. And now those components inside IMX400 are the latest and the best...
Also I would like to point out if its real, how long can we capture it? You can see the bandwidth and size? too of FHD 960fps double the number for 720p 960fps, and that exactly cut the record time in half. So what about FHD 2000fps and 4K 1000fps, when the bandwidth and the size 4X,8X the largest theoretically mode of IMX400, 19.1MP 120fps?
0.00001s?
Unless Sony bought alien techs from Area 51, nope...
