Well the dimensions are kind of weird. I think we are doing something wrong. The width is about the same with Z ultra when the side frames are added. But the lcd panel alone is about 5 mm longer than Z ultra with the bezels and frame included.. So if the bezels still exist (I think they do) we are looking at a very weird handset. Slim but very very long  .

Or perhaps it isn't a handset as we think of it?
Perhaps it is a 'tube' design wraparound screen so in fact we should be viewing this horizontally and halved as a footprint for a device?

Perhaps it is a "borderless" phone design coming soon? Excited  |

Well I think these are phone's dimensions. So we are looking at a 6 inchish phablet which makes sense. The glass covers all the surface so it could be considered as a whole part with the lcd panel

@livi_deluxe
bezel-less sides? sure, possible. bezel-less top and bottom? no. remember, they have to fit 2 front speakers, earpiece, several sensors, front camera sensor and more.
i am excited about a 21:9 display ratio design but i'm not excited about that display dimensions. from how things look as of now i will most likely end buying the main flag, i'm loosing hope for a first phablet flag from sony.

Well take a look. Its smaller than Z ultra. Might be 6 inches or probably even smaller.

@thetube
IF those new device measurements are for the whole device dimensions (and not for the display panel dimensions only) then it is awesome! pocket friendly borderline - acceptable. they are even slightly smaller all around then t2 ultra's yet sides are super narrow thanks to the 21:9, hence, a plus for hand grip and pocket. they have my money for xperia phablet flag with dat futuristic 21:9 ratio.

^well it might even be the flagship. Its pretty smaller than z ultra . Might be C4 ultra or whatever it is. We are in the dark my friend. |

Yes, well, at least we can be optimistic about it not being a mid ranger since the rumored c/t ultra 5.8" e57xx exists they say. |

I hope they'll go with matte metal and black color option. Not whole black. If the new FCC device is the flagship phablet (not a midranger) Sony will have my money on September. Simply great. |

The dimensions can't be for the entire device, still needs a top and bottom bezel, so that could be another 1 cm at the top and 1 cm at the bottom. As I mentioned before, size wise, we could be looking at something like this.

@ascariss
Yeah, nobody here can deny that possibility but how do you explain this? http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobil[....]fcc-report-442729?site=classic
for z ultra the fcc measurements are for the whole device. did fcc changed they way of measurements since then? we would like to think not. |

The pdfs are not filed by the FCC I believe, but instead by the Sony employees and unlike in the ZU docs, the new device's measurements could be just the display's dimensions and not the entire device. You mentioned it yourself after drawing it out, the diagonal and side dimensions do fit together, and the margins are super thin all around, top, bottom and sides, so no place for an front facing camera or sensors. We'll have to wait and see what this evolves into. |

@ascariss
Yeah, they write in the pdf "display screen" but after thinking about it again, there is a possibility that it is a loose term for noting that it is a drawing of the front side and not of the display size only. anyway, like you said, lets wait and see. |
