The left hand side of of the phone has no apertures, which is an Xperia trait.

I love this. Hate stuff on the left side.

Lots of strange info floating about and lets not forget there were no 'live' leaks for the XZ3, just the renders but that's because there's somebody leaking the dimensions or CAD drawings. What we do know is that Sony want to be the first to release a 5G enabled device so if it's the 'XZ4' it may have to be rather soon because I remember Huawei being hot on 5G.

I really hate the curved glass on my XZ2 Compact, it has micro scratches on the curves and looks like I've been skateboarding on it. We need flat screens and this whole ambient flow business needs to disappear.


Those CAD is XA3.

According to this, Sharp is going to make 4K oled for mobile.
Two different sizes. 5.5" and 6.6".

6.6" 18:9 is 15 cm x 7.5 cm = 112,5 cm2
XA Ultra for example has 99.2 cm2.
A screen of this size would be bit bigger than whole L1.

A tech channel in my country posted a vid about Sony exiting Turkey and I've heard rumors that will upset many fans.

So the new CEO wants to quit mobile yesterday, only reason they didn't is that they don't know if the next big thing will be phone related or not. Spek posted something similar than deleted it but someone already quoted it: https://www.esato.com/board/v[....]=208698&start=5295#post3244911

So the most important rumor is that Sony Mobile will shrink furter to only a few markets. Even in the EU they will shrink. And after ME, Africa and Turkey, South America is next.

The word is they will keep the division running but not for the whole world. So if you're willing to chase them (importing and all) you'll probably still going to get the new devices. I for one won't do that.

What pisses me off is the fact they never make clear the locations they are willing to sell the announced devices.
XZ3 was showcased almost 60 days ago. No word if it is coming to my country.
It's not even on website yet.

Here, Samsung and Motorola bring devices start selling phones quickly. Motorola sales is always 2 or 3 after local event.
Sony has no midranges before late April and flagships before late July.

They took too long to bring Xz2 that stores brought units from abroad and started selling for 4800,00 while on Sony website it costs 3600,00. But most costumers still go to stores.

Last year they started to ship xz1 like 2 weeks after IFA. They need to do again.

Thats only partially right. In fact, they want to quit the whole electronics business all together, focusing on IP and services. Even Playstation will be a service in the future. And the first department to go will be the money losing ones, and we all know what that is.

This is really sad, as the only other brand I trust is Vertu, but that is long gone.

It is impossible for Xperia gone within this year. It should at least took 2 years for migrating with others department. They also need to push all planned phones out. Just like the transition from SE to Sony.

Even if they give up. They will do it step by step and Japan will be the last country. They may Force on Asia and US in the coming years.

There still some brand we can use: Samsung, Pixel, Sharp Aquos. Phones are become more durable. I think I can use XZ1 in next 5 year.

Vertu just announced a new phone last week.
My only option is to buy a device of 2019 or 2020, keep it as long as it works.
Come back to flip and get a tablet..

No way I use Pixel (because of stock) nor phones with speaker beside USB.

Sharp will sell 2 or 3 in Europe.
Panasonic sells all their phones in India.

In Japan, Apple is the only foreign brand that has good sales.

What? Sony is still a powerhouse, Xperia is just a side project now. They keep it because if they do find something that flies off the shelves then they can quickly pounce on the market even if it is a short term hype like 5G. The problem is that the Xperia division have not got the formula right and on top of that, even if they top trumped everyone out there and made the most amazing device it may not be a guaranteed sale. It is what it is. This high price low numbers strategy is hurting the consumer more than anyone.

I've always said that the tools are there for success but some of the personnel and decision making has been poor. A friend was telling me that some XZ2 people were arrogant about the 3.5mm jack believing that 'the XZ2 is so good that owners will definitely buy a set of expensive Sony headphone' but the truth is that even though the Sony headphones are amazing these days, loss of the 3.5mm jack cheesed a lot of people off and the XZ2 just isn't good enough. XZ3 isn't good enough either, I bit it has whack sales figures.

I recently got myself a Withings Sport HR, selling my Huawei watch now. As much as I like the Huawei the battery life is not good and while on par with most smart watches it is annoying to charge each day. Also, I have to keep the screen off so it is active by gesture if I want to see the time. My £20 Casio is better at telling the time so what is the point of paying £200 for a watch that you have to compromise so much. My new watch gives a month of battery, tells the time and takes care of notifications. The point is that Sony needs to cut the crap and compromises on their devices. If they gave me the same Z3 Compact with updated internals I'd buy that tomorrow because it was awesome, iPhone SE owners are saying the same thing because these are great 'jack of all trades' devices that were consumer friendly and appealing to everyone on so many levels.

I hate this new CEO.

Tech company like Sony can not be just services like streaming of movies and music.

PlayStation brings tons of money. Months ago they were celebrating how many units sold since PS1.
Imaging Division is very powerful, they create the best sensors on Earth, even Nikon use them.
They made A9 targeting Tokyo games, I think they will bring A9ii in late 2019 so people can have it before the games.
A6000 is the top seller among APS-C while A7iii is top seller among FF Mirrorless.
They have CrystalLED for giant screens for business use.

IP and Business Solution is the most profitable for company. I don't think SONY will have any big negative movement like dropping a sub-division before the 2020 games. That will be the golden time for recovery in Japan.

Those leaks are from Reddit so the credibility will be pretty low I think.

Just make a few changes to the design
Bump up the battery capacity
Make the device more compact and lighter

And bring back the 3.5mm jack

Also sony needs competitive pricing.. When compared to Samsung and apple
