The LZ is awsome, but the batery kills it, saw a video on YT, the phone in plane mode, basic use, it drained 5% of bat in less than 8mins
Does anyone know any little exclusive Sony features like samsung's for example "direct call"
yes sony xperia z is nice phone talking about design, hardware and that water protection. But for me note 2 is still better because of bigger display, better battery life and for me samsung software features, UI is 10x times better than sony. Waiting for note3 with full hd screen, quad A15,gorilla 3 and water resistant. ;D
Come on. Gnote is better than x Z.

it wont show any big difference at benchmark scores. Sony has better cpu, gpu, but it also has full hd screen. I think +- it is same.

It's even easier than that.
Why does this even matter, It is absolutely pointless.
If you want android get an android phone, if you want ios get an iphone.
You might want to add the battery capacity of both devices?!
2330mah for xperia z
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
it shouldn't be a question...
everything in xperia Z blows up ip5
and the price will be lower too :\
You should've asked yourself, what you need and what you dont. if it was me, of course I prefer Z all the way. Taste-wise.
Why do you people even bother to make threads like this?
I think everyone knows about the 'compare' feature on gsmarena.com . If not, google it.
And I do believe (now for the 99999^999^999 time) that this has been discussed before;
You choose your phone based on what you're used to and what you want.
You choose a phone based on how it looks to you. You only, you don't go asking about for your own opinion!
And, last, but most important; You choose a phone based on fluidity and how it works out for you...
I didn't choose my phone because 'it's great, a flagship' and all that duck... I got it because I said 'I need a new phone' so I went to the shop, saw what they had, tried those phones out and bought my nozomi! If a HOX or GS3 would have the same features as the nozomi, I'd buy another phone!
Z design is the best, and specs is enough for 2013 - i think, i'll buy it, not IP5 or S4 or. ....
how about bluetooth transferring, wifi direct, usb otg???
and WHAT about the new/incredible/absurd feature called
connect-and-copy ?
versus the connect-and-open itunes-and-synchronize-and-manage what it has done ?
DLNA ? playing games on TV (£15) in ebay MHL-usb:silly:

I would add to the iPhone better optimization , better calibrated screen and better gaming thanks to the great gpu and lower resolution screen and maybe even better speakers and integrated earphones, to the Sony I would add the exmor rs camera and its f1.8.

Why iphone 5? No one here cares about it. Besides, the Xperia Z is the iphone 5s/6 competitor. The Xperia T is the iphone 5 competitor and even the Xperia T wins so no point comparing the iphone 5 with the Z.
Xperia Z is pretty much the first contestant of 2013 flagships. It doesn't have a sparring partner yet and having it beat up on the iphone 5 is not thread worthy. Maybe have it beat up on the Droid DNA instead or wait for the HTC M7 or Optimus G pro to start the versus threads.

I can't see your concept image but the spec you listed is kind of obvious and at list some of it will most likely be a part of its spec. small fine tuning corrections though: with such spec and sony favoring razor like designs: height should be 150 mm or slightly more, thickness 8.5-9mm, weight 170-180 grams, its edges are rumored to be more rounded then Z2.

refresh the page few times...
and Z2 is 146.8 x 73.3 x 8.2 mm
so for Z3 of course,will be a bit longer & wider as uses 5.5" (my concept) which is 148 x 75 x 7.2 mm
for 7.2mm would be lighter,155grams...
I can see your image now. i like your concept. looks nice, clean, authentic. i hope sony is staying with glass and metal sides materials - reception friendly.
though, even if it will be wider and taller i still doubt less then 8mm thickness for a phone with such spec plus most likely new internals like WQHD resolution, etc. i watch Z2 tear down and the camera sensor looks almost as thick as the phone thickness, it's crazy. don't forget that. if they make the camera sensor smaller then maybe. i would be amazed and happy if sony can design it with 7.2mm thickness. look at find 7 with 5.5 WQHD display - 9.2mm, but because sony know design better then oppo i'd bet on 8-8.2mm - same as Z2. also, i wonder if the rounded edges will look like in your concept or rounded all around let's say like oppo find 7. is sony staying with omnibalance design? their designer said in an interview that they would like to make a new design... many questions... it would be better if you add a two tone camera LED - i bet sony will add it. it's becoming a standard.
If that screen is 5,5 with that many bezel than than would be SO FKING HUGE!

Not huge at all, considering the big camera sensor, waterproofing design and bigger battery, etc and the phone profile thinness. it's all relative to what internals a phone has.

His concept picture is basically a Z1 from the front/back, the bezels are huge, and if you couple that with the 5,5 screen, you get a totally waste of space phone what you cant even handle.
The spec is reasonable.
The only compains what i hear from reviews is that the Z2 is awkward to handle, but i dont care i have big hands.
5 and 5,2" OK, if they want to go bigger, they'll need to seriously reduce those bezels.

You realistically cannot go further with screen size. I could actually see the screen remaining 5,2" but bezel reducing and the size of the phone reducing compared to the Z2. Ideally, you'd want the top and bottom bezels to be as small as possible and nearly none on the sides. That I would consider a buy. Any additional increase in size and I'd have to give up on these phones...
And it's not just hand size, it's also pocketability. I have an ultra and although it fits in my jeans pockets, it's just too big. You can't sit with it, move around, without risking to actually break the thing (which I thing IS the reason why people say the screens crack);

There is no such thing as ideal for all, only personal preference. ideal for you is not necessarily ideal for me. Z3-4 are very likely to have 5.5" WQHD display and actually all the future flagships because the fact that there are no IPS panels with less then 5.5" for 2k resolution. plus, sony made the compact line for people who want smaller flagships. i personally glad that the new standard will be 5.5" for mid sized flagships. i'm willing to accept less pocketability for bigger display and better spec. nothing is perfect.
in my opinion the ultra has arrived to the borderline of pocketable phones. bigger device then the ultra should be marketed as a device that can be carried in a bag... more like tablet.
Z2 storage is expandable up to 128 (official info), and your Z3 concept will be limited to 64 gb

This.
If it were 5.5 inches I wouldn't buy it as for everyday use it wouldn't be great.
4.7-5.2 inches are the best screen sizes for a phone in my opinion.

Then your only future daily driver flagship option is to follow sony compact line (its successor is predicted to have slightly bigger display - 4.5-4.7") or companies that still make 5.0" flagships. most if not ALL OEM's future mid sized flagships from now on will carry 5.5" display. find 7>OnePlus One>G3>Z3, etc. read the news.

I doubt that this is going to happen. I can see them going to mayb 5.3 inches max, but i think anything from 5.5 inches and above is a phablet and I think manufacturers are aware of the ever increasing screen size problem.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with 5.5 inches, but the phone either becomes too wide, too long or both and this makes it rather uncomfortable to use every day and with one hand.
Things I think Sony can improve/add on next phones:
- IP68 instead of IP58 (better dust protection).
- Optical image stabilization instead of Digital image stabilization.
- High FPS recording mode where you can choose, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] **maybe: [email protected] and [email protected], Can S805 handle this?
- Internal memory, user should be able to choose between 16/32/64GB models, just like Apple do.
- Micro USB 3.0.
- MHL 3.0 support
- Bluetooth 4.1 (S805 supports 4.0 by default, but I read it somewhere that Bluetooth 4.1 can be done with a software update).

Fellow, i understand your preference for smaller devices but stop doubting it - find 7 is on the market being sold right now, oneplus one and g3 are confirmed to have 5.5". z3 is sure to follow them, a safe bet. also, enter japan display and auo websites - major panel manufacturers - 2k displays start from 5.5". OEM's don't want to stay behind in spec sheet. this is how the industry behave. anyway, i'm sure all other companies will wake up from their sleep and follow sony with their minis - making them mini flagships and not overpriced weak mid range phones, so you will have plenty of phones to choose from and not only sony compact. they won't have other choice because as you said, the mid sized flags are getting too big for some people. EDIT: for your information, there is no 5.3" display on the market, not in mass production anyway, so from 5.2" companies can jump to 5.5". anyway, i'm sure the mid sized flags will stay on 5.5" for a long time until devices get fordable because otherwise phablets won't have a legitimacy to exist.

Whilst, I hope manufacturers do not do this, i can see where you're coming from.
Do you think a 2k display sub 5.5inches is feasible?

Yes, i see no reason why it wouldn't be possible, but manufacturers don't do it because it would be harder to notice a difference in resolution in 5" display and 2k displays are more expensive to make. even in 5.5" the change should generally look subtle which is fine but it also depends on how close your eyes are from the display.

looks like more like Xperia M2 and bezels?? same need to change the bezel thing in Xperia
Nice concept, though I see no need to make the screen even bigger (5.5 inches sounds huge.)
