I'm still puzzled why Sony has decided to develop a smaller sensor, instead of keeping the current sensor and just adding phase detection to that. There will also be a 16MP version of the sensor, wonder if the lower megapixel count would be better for lower light and noise.
Would be nice to see this in the Z4, hopefully the camera team will also help out with the software.
I noticed this in the press release
This is the industry's first CMOS image sensor for smartphones to be equipped with an onboard image plane phase detection AF signal processing function to achieve excellent focus tracking of fast-moving subjects
Didn't the S5 camera have phase detection? Unless this is not a CMOS sensor? |

It's the world's first "stacked" sensor that has phase detection AF built into the circuitry of the sensor, from what I've been reading Samsung's Isocell is indeed a CMOS sensor but isn't stacked like Sony's and may use the CPU to help with the auto focus just like how Apple do with the iPhone 6.

I knew it would be releasing the Z4 with Phase Detection Autofocus. Now, the only thing missing is Sony's Optical Steadyshot for mobile. 
New topic: It seems Sony released a new headphone, the MDR-1ADAC. Tagged as the headphone with built-in USB DAC, this would be an additive to Sony's growing High Resolution Audio marketing on Xperia phones. It has a built-in S-Master HX Amplifier, so it means it can now be incorporated into other gadgets just like Xperia phones.
The challenge here for Sony is that, to introduce the microUSB port fully waterproof. With this, we can now use the USB port for listening Hi-Res Audio of up to 24-bit, which is also supported on the upcoming Android 5.0.

Yes I was just reading this on Qobuz. Nice to see them pushing Hi Res audio even more.

That headphone, it uses the new USB Type-C port as well as the widely used microUSB port.. They mention that the microUSB is for PC & charge... wondering if Z4 will also use this Type-C...
and BTW, the latest rumours suggest that Z4 will have an exposed USB port with no flap.
EDIT:
in the detailed spec. page..
What's In The Box :
Carring Pouch
Headphone cable (1.2 m),Exclusive Lightning cable (1.2 m),Digital cable for Walkman® (1.2 m),Digital cable for Xperia (1.2 m)
USB Cable
Warranty Card
My guess about the weird cables...
Headphone cable : a standard 3.5 male audio cable in both ends.
Exclusive Lightning cable : Apple's Lightning on side ( for iDevice ) and Type-C on the other side ( for headphone )
Digital Cable for walkman : standard microUSB on one side ( for Walkman ) and Type-C on the other ( for headphone )
Digital Cable for Xperia : standard Type-C on both sides...
as why they will make two cables one for walkman and the other for Xperia... we know that current Walkmans only uses microUSB... and Sony will soon introduce new Xperia phones which might use the new Type-C

Xajel no Walkman has a standard microUSB except some older E series Walkmans but they were low end devices.
All current Walkmans have the WM-port to USB.
So unless Sony adds type C on future walkmans, there will always be a dedicated cable for the walkman.
I am contemplating whether to buy the MDR-1ADAC or something smaller, the new XBA-A2, which I would have to import. The larger headphones would be more expensive though. |

why don't you complain about US Verizon and T-Mobile's own version of XPERIA? besides, no one is stopping you from buying XPERIA with different specs
Because carriers now has the power to control what they want, if Sony was as powerful as Apple, then they will set their own spec for them.
@All,
Type C USB Port products started.. with Nokia N1: a 7.9" Android 5.0 tablet with Intel 64-bit processor, 2K display, 2GB RAM & 32GB ROM

I really hope for USB 3 or 3.1 Type C for the Xperia Z4.
We need some solid new rumors for the new thread!
Nodar bring it on!!!

The only thing I need in addition to Z3 is a better camera.
And the compact Version with a slightly better screen and better SAR-numbers.
Ohhh...and of course a UI-refresh.

Although there is no doubt that is a Sony Xperia device I do doubt it's the new Ultra based on a few things I can see in the photo.
The side bezels are just too big for a flagship Sony. They trimmed the side bezels quiet a bit in 2014.
Either that blokes had is massive or that isn't a 5.9" display.
Rumours did say Sony will move away from port covers in next year's flagship products (one is clearly visible)
I think this maybe a large screen mid ranger but it is very hard to tell.
I'm so happy 'cause today

I agree with @XperiaJunknie, this doesn't seems to be an Ultra... if it's Ultra, then that guy has a monster hand !!
