@Archdragoon
That is sad news actually because its a wasted opportunity, I don't see what could be appealing about this XZ2S/XZ3 unless it gets a new design. The only good thing is that we get a price cut on the XZ2 line. |

Seems they are atleast a year behind the whole mobile industry. Mostly everyone wants dual cam and oled display with minimum bezels these days... But Sony might reach that level next year whereas almost everyone is at that level already.  |

Typical Sony 
My XZ will reaching to full two years of service by December'18
Upgrade path to iPhone X now seem very obvious, unless last minute surprise by pulling some rabbit out of the hat.

My guess is xz3. Probably not a premium but possibly since xz2 p is only available in certain markets
As I stated above with the screenshot, the IFA press conference is supposed to have an exclusive unveiling. Whatever that means.

archdragoon - if this is indeed true and not some sony staff trying to throw you off the scent, then it is sad indeed. they are taking a step backwards and shouldn't be able to call this next device a "flagship" by any means. Flagship means having the best of the best of the company's technology. The flagship tag should be reserved for the premium series alone.
They are wasting their time if they are pushing out a device with similar/slightly improved tech to the xz2 and expect people to pay close to $1000 (guessing here) for it, just 6 months after the xz2 was released.
They need to clean up their act otherwise, despite having "world's first" features on their phones, they will be forgotten as the industry moves forward. this is like the mp3 revolution and sony decided to be different and stick with their superior technology and then lost the edge they had in personal audio entertainment. you'd think they learned enough of a lesson from that fiasco... perhaps not.

so we seem to be getting conflicting rumours... I want to believe that it will have a dual cam, but bitter experience has taught me that Sony loves to disappoint, so I think your rumour is more likely to be the correct one. Kinda shocking if they release another single cam flagship after recognising they have been too slow and literally every other competitor has dual cams now (except google, but even the new pixel is rumoured to have that), with many now implementing triple cameras...
As badassmam said, without the dual cams what will differentiate from XZ2? Other than more useless gimmicks like 3D face scanner, or things which very few people will actually use, like 4K HDR recording and hi res audio.
Sony concentrate too much on pushing boundaries and getting world firsts (which is respectable), but they fail to perfect the basics and offer a complete package. |

There are two options..
Device is a full hd version of premium or just a XZ2 polished ( like Z2 to Z3).
How will they fit dual cam inside Compact when they could not put DVS in xz2c nor the 13MP selfie in Xc and XZ1c?

That makes sense why they can use exclusive unveiling. Sony is in pole position in that department. Their new X1 Ultimate, which apparently will be named X1 Ultra is going to blow the competition out of the water. They will unveil Microled 8K as well as the successor to the Z9D and A1E with the new X1 Ultra processor.

I don't think anyone expects they will fit dual cam in compact, just in regular XZ2 sized device - not only in some giant XZ2 Premium sized thing that you need two people to move around |

8K Micro LED? Any sources for that info?
EDIT.
Oh, you meant this CLEDIS display?

Sony XXX
Sony YYYY
So apparently these are 2 devices from Sony mobile, labeled as Smartphone with Bluetooth Technology, same bluetooth certification as the XZ2 line.
https://launchstudio.bluetooth.com/ListingDetails/52669
They are both from mid to late april, the other phone in the cert are the ones we have released, XZ2, compact and premium. So not sure what these are, perhaps prototypes of the actual devices coming in the near or long term future, maybe they are nothing. Strange that no model numbers are being connected to them like the others. This probably means nothing but one can always throw out theories out there what these are or are not.
#Illuminati
let the theories and conspiracies commence.
btw does anyone know the model number designation (Hxxxx) for the Sony Xperia XA2 Plus?

The dual camera is too big to get into a slim body, just look at that monster XZ2P with that ancient design. It's a shame, I don't see a drastic change coming but I'm really interested in the XA3 because it'll have the 3.5mm jack and look great. Fanboyism aside, the XZ2 from this year just about out performs the old S8 but looks worse and costs at least £200 more so you have got to be a die hard fan to want one of the flagships. My XZ1 Compact is heavily scratched so I'll be changing soon but I'll downgrade to an XA2 rather than an XZ2 for sure. |

XA2 = H31xx, H41xx
XA2U = H32xx, H42xx
L2 = H33xx, H43xx
XA2+ = H44xx ( I dont know if there is H34xx code)
