I wonder what more are they going to reveal in tommorrow's Germany event.
How many ZU's do you think they'll be able to sell? I guess they need to be so lucky if they ship 2+ million units. |

I think that Xperia Z Ultra main selling point is the huge screen.
They have to have kept some surprises for the Paris event.
What could Sony offer in entertainment that is unique to Sony and would benefit a large screen: gaming, movies, both?
Anyway, it is normal that they do not put the best camera features, the purpose is different.
Honami and Ray3 should be more general purpose phones to compete with the iphone, and offer best cpu, best camera on a general purpose phone, best sound, fantastic screen, durable and enjoyable materials, stylish design. I do not see it as a camera centric niche device, but as a device they want to sell to the largest number. As far as the rumors go, the camera had to take compromises (no xenon) to satisfy to the thinness.
So what we miss here is a camera centric device to fill this niche and compete with Nokia EOS and to a lesser extent galaxy zoom. But there is this rumored mystery device and the description of the device Maia contact saw that does not fit the Honami rumors. It could be thicker than Honami to include a xenon flash.
I am looking forward to the camera RX announcements on the 27 as they could hint at such a device, as sony alpha rumors said.

Z Ultra doesn't have new UXP, it will debut first on Honami. But Z Ultra will get new UXP as an update after Honami release.

Anyone from China here can tell me what is the price of Xperia L in China ? (In Yuan) ???
Not 5500RMB as someone here misquoted, it can be bought online for 2000RMB. The Z doesn't even cost 5500 in stores here, nor did it ever even at markup.

Those are not screw ups. Thin designs have compromises. When Galaxy S4 came with a steep price, you didn't complain. When Galaxy Mega 6.3 came, you cheered with it. Seriously?
They are screw ups in my opinion because they could have been easily solved with a slightly thicker device. The only time I compared the device to the 6.3 was on size basis and didn't cheer or complain either way. I also have not mentioned the S4 anywhere with regards to price and it would be better to compare the device to the upcoming note 3 which will have a built in stylus, probably bigger battery, pressure sensitivity and a flash. A flash is not always needed, I hate using it on my NEX, but sometimes in rare occasions it is needed and I'd rather have one just in case. Although I do use the flash on my S2 as a flashlight often.
I didn't say the device is a complete fail though, I like it, I feel it will be too big for my smaller hands but if the wireless bluetooth receiver is not too much I can see myself using the ultra. Reminds me of the good old walkman days with the inline remotes that came with the minidisc or discman.

RRP is 679 Euros. Actual selling price will be around 600 Euros - Same as Z launch price. So your complaint regarding price is invalid.
Price of Z in Poland was 2799 or 2899 pln so around 650 euros, when it launched, it dropped now to 440 euros but I doubt the dealer is reputable, so 460 to 500 euros is the current price of the Z in Poland, so cheaper than launch but still pretty expensive. The prices are from online retailers and not official sony Poland prices which are ridiculous.
The price I quoted for the ultra is from the Netherlands, from gsmarena
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_[....]e_launches_in_q3-news-6274.php
the price hopefully is with VAT, otherwise it will be even more expensive. VAT in Holland is about the same as in Poland, 21% vs 23% I believe so prices will be generally similar, so my complaint is still valid from my experience here in Poland with regards to pricing on phones. This is from an official sony press release so again I do believe the price especially since it is a phone, and with LTE and a Sony and that tends to jack up the price.

August reveal, late September launch, mini Honami in March '14.
And Eldar was right that Sony may downgrade screen quality. Either on updated Z or Honami (or both).
