With it looking like a dead cert that the Z4 will be announced at a later date, possibly at an exclusive unveiling similar to what Samsung and HTC have done in the past it will be a double edged sword for Sony.
1. Z4 range will have maximum amount of press coverage as they'll be the only devices on show creating lots of buzz and hype.
2.The media will say the Z4 range is late to market and the others have an advantage in sales.
Hopefully it's option 1 as I do think if there is an exclusive event they'll announce at least 3 devices, Z4, Tablet Z4 and the rumored mid ranger the M4.
I'm so happy 'cause today

Sony Ericsson - A look back at its 10-year history
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gth99GG4YdU
Just reminiscing guys. I'm kind of proud that Sony beat Nokia, makes me wonder we're the nokia fans right now.
I also wonder what's holding Sony back in the camera aspect. They sold a hundred million when they made the k800i why not do the same thing today (innovate and be the first)

Anyone have any idea what this is for? It's just appeared on the FCC although it isn't made by the mobile department it is a wearable called "FreeFlow", it has now display just a set of LED lights and this is the user manual below.

Was it mentioned in here that Sony in the last few weeks had a smartwatch and bluetooth speak pass through the FCC?
There was also more than one handset. So I'm still holding out for something other than the E4 to come in the next couple weeks.

Does anyone have information regarding how well each of Sony's smartphones are selling? Z3 seems to be doing exceptionally well. Considering how incompetent Sony's lower-end offerings are, I wouldn't be surprised if 5+ millions of the handsets sold in CY Q4 were Z3 family. Is the original Z still the best-selling Sony smartphone. How many Xperia Z units have been sold?
P.S. I hope Sony doesn't mess up the Lollipop update. I own M8 and I can say the Lollipop on M8 sucks very bad. I wish Sony doesn't use the 3D app drawer or the expandable notification bar because they make you very slow when operating the phone. More touches are needed to navigate.

Does anyone else think that the Z4 is being pushed back by a month or two to ensure it launches with Lollipop?
Unlike previous flagships which get the latest and greatest "shortly after release".
I'm really hoping for a solid overhaul of the UI. I have Lollipop on my old Nexus 7 and I have to say it is quite nice and much more mature than previous versions. Almost makes me want to look at Nexus 6 or a GPE of something or other.

I suspect Sony may launch the Z4 after MWC, seems to be a trend and something sonyalpharumours has mentioned in regards to new launches in the camera division, launch major new products outside of shows, like the new A7 II. So I feel this might be the case with the Z4 and Z4 tablet. It makes sense if no press conference is planned for MWC. I doubt Sony would introduce a major flagship with no press conference. |

And who thinks that at MWC we'll see Sony's new UI concept that will be carried out along with Lollipop? 
I think they'll show us their new UI along with some revamped services like playstation music that is powered by Spotify and at a later date they'll show us Z4 family that will not only show us full power of new UI but will be the newest evolution of Z line - perfected design with perfected software (in theory). |

Pushed back so that it can launch with Lollipop? That's stupid.

The only sensible reason to delay is the 810 chip.

hands on by different sites shows that 810 in fact runs cooler than 801 and a comparison with leaked S6 benchmarks show that 810 tops exynos overall.also please remember article i posted a few pages ago showed that 20nm exynos uses more power that krait on 28nm so i would like to see how 14nm will turn out with samsungs poor optimizations
benchmark:note that exynos one is leaked and final version maybe better or worse
