Maybe that's real Z1s, a Z1 successor (like iphone 5/5s)?

Wonder if we will finally see an Xperia GPE from Google next year. It would be a decent way for Sony to enter the US market and start the ball rolling for Sony to take on the US and get some decent sales figures out of it.
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head

@Miki69
not that i care much about naming, but huiyi said "Z2" won't be Z1 successor name, so maybe Z1s, who knows? but surely Z1 + letter... i don't think they will call it Z1.5 - would be funny... it actually makes sense not to call it Z2 because its release date will probably be more or less only half a year after Z1 was released, so a jump from 1 to 2 would be too fast and silly... that's my opinion anyway. apple is even slower with advancing in numbers... also, Z1 was called that because it's the first "one sony" device from what i understand (otherwise Z1 should have been named Z2, because Z was the first Z device, not Z1). i think they will keep using a number but advance in number only once a year. look how many Z's in one message.

I think that the device on top on the picture is most likely the Z1 successor, reasons for that:
1. there are a lot of companies cases designed with the jack position in mind so sony won't mess with their business
2. it's not likely to change the Z1 construction before announcing a successor.
3. they will probably stick to the same design with the new device cause it's a revamped version of the Z1 = Z1+letter, like iphone 5s (not "Z2" = no new design).
4. they seriously took the criticism of the Z1 big bezels and made the new device with the same dimensions of the Z1 or a tiny bit bigger but increased the display size to 5.2" to go back to xperia Z display to bezel ratio.
the new position of the jack is to make the device more comfortable to grip horizontally while the earpiece is connected.

I think its the Z1 for a US carrier, it been done in the past where there is a slight change in the design in this case the position of the headphone jack.
Any news for Z1F global release? I'm growing impatient with all this waiting as my Xperia P is almost dead. Is the announcement coming this month based on the case that is for sale on Amazon? Any ideas? |

I also think this is Z1s - a T-mobile version of Z1 which many mistaken to be Z1 mini. |

^They have their own standards. Probably restricted by their law? Dunno. Local carriers don't do it here.
