z3 looks so much better in those new shots. Much more refined and Z1 and Z2. |

Refined for sure but not nothing exciting. Somehow the smooth rounded sides don't feel very sony like and more nokia like.
The rear is either plastic in this photo or the glass has been frosted or something applied to it to make it more fingerprint friendly. Unless that is just the photo and the rear is again full glass and fignerprint unfriendly. |

Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset with 2.4 GHz quad-core Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 graphics
5.15-inch display
1080p FHD resolution
3GB RAM
16GB internal
20.7MP Exmor RS rear camera
2.1MP front-facing camera
Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
So it looks like they've done away with the metal / shiny side inserts. I like that look, like on the T3. The Z3 looks a lot plainer. Right now, until further pics come along, I sort of prefer the look of the Z2

I say its the best of Z1 and Z2, it took the Z1 full metal frame and Z2 rounded trim best of each one. Z2 frame isnt full metal, it got some kind of plastic + aluminum melted in. Rounded edges makes the phone easier to hold. |

The Z2 design is pretty distinctive although this design is cleaner.

Dig the sides, reminds me a bit of what the Nokia N8 and E7-00 looked like on the side, looks like it's going to be very palm friendly compared to the previous Z phones.

Is this the "entirely new design"?

AFAIR Z3 was supposed to have a new design, but it was canceled duo to complexity and high-cost of mass manufacturing
So, this might be plan B

very true, with iP6 being released at the same time, no one will notice anyway 
sony has become apple of sorts with small updates and no radical improvements to the design. The only difference, apple sells tons of their crap and sony does not

The power button has been updated. It no longer has a base ring and the button itself is larger.
I think the frame looks enough of an update to call it a change in design.. just. I think going simpler on the edges runs the risk of looking less serious and more of a toy, but I've not seen/felt it in hand yet.
I really don't like the iPhone style earpiece (and mic hole) unless it means that they're putting in massive stereo speakers.
I'd consider this more seriously as an upgrade to my Z if the front was cleaner and the notification light wasn't so close to the corner.
I have a dig bick
