Looks nice, although an aluminium frame sounds like a really bad idea...

If the camera spec is real then I'd think: Why would they go back to an older sensor?? Unless the 13.1mpx sensor that's in our XZ isn't good enough...

If it's using an Exmor RS sensor, then that's not old at all but the absolute latest and greatest from Sony. It's just that it'll use an 8MP version vs. the 13MP version on the Z and ZL.

I already have a Z, so this seems to be a step down in everything but the SOC. Besides I love the 5" screen size it is perfect for reading while it still fits in my pocked.

Maybe among the phones released last year only: Nexus 4, LG Optimus G and HTC Butterfly (and their variants) have better specs (SoC) than Xperia SP.
BTW, according to the white paper, SP uses Corning Gorilla glass without a shater-proof sheet..
And Xperia L seems to use glass made by SCHOTT, again no mention of a shatter-proof sheet.
Does this mean no more pre-installed shatter-proof sheets by Sony Mobile?

Great mid-range phone.
Seems like a great mid-range phone to me. Of course everything seem better in their adds but I was honestly positively surprised when I saw it.
Having doubts though about the functionality an smoothness of the phone. I've been using Sony XPERIA S and with a 1.5 GHZ Dual-Core processor and 1 GB of RAM it was quite laggy even when using their built-in APPS like Walkman. At times it would stutter and force close even when other APPS were closed. Since Sony got rid of Ericsson I've become a huge Sony fan especially with their latest release the XPERIA Z. Their designs are formidable in my opinion and I guess many people will agree with me. The translucent bar in the S and the SP is something notable, probably a battery drainer but non the less a nice add to create something different, elegant and "sexy".
I'm very pleased to see another, newer device of Sony with this translucent bar. It'd be a nice second phone to keep with me just in case something happens with my future XPERIA Z or HTC ONE!
YES, definitely not going to buy the S4, design disappoints me and am genuinely sick of Samsung using cheap materials. Specs? Thumbs up Samsung!

It refers to a Sony Mobile press invite in France taking place on Thursday 4 July at 09.30
The pictures says that the invite is translated to the following: “Sony Mobile reserves a big surprise for you“. Note the ‘big’ in that sentence.
The graphic then shows the following hand written text: “Do not forget to mark your calendars!” It shows the text being written by a stylus, giving more credence to rumours that the 6.4-inch device will support an input device such as a stylus or pencil.
What we’re not sure about is that the Xperia Z Ultra is rumoured to be water resistant, yet the headphone jack is open with no port covering it.

I have read a comment in xperiablog that says maybe because the device is too thin to sport a 13MP ? It make sense to me, altought I prefer a less thiner device with a 13Mp camera, you can't name a device "Ultra" without putting in it all the best material available at the moment...
The info is all over the net, so nothing exclusive here.
edit : 3G RAM isn't credible.

can someone make a size comparison picture with note 2, ZU, Z and Zl? What was the rumor size for Honami?

If this is true, then it would be thinner than de Z. Well, I think the Z is thin enough. Thinner than the Z must feel really fragile. They'd better make it a tad thicker and put a huge battery inside.

I think Sony is going to use size for marketing, so ZU case would be thin, ZL would be small, either or Z is balance in between. Tablet Z is super thin as well.

why do you need 3gb RAM ?
Frmo the 2gb in the XZ (1.84... aviable) i mostly only use 800-1200mb.
What app does need that much memory ? If you think that RAM always needs power....

So is it a phone or a tablet? Am I missing the Frequency designations?

it's a phablet. Dheh!
A phone to replace or substitute a tablet. A mini tablet without needing a seperate phone.
I say well done sony for having the balls, and if I didn't own the xperia z I would definetley consider this.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

Togari is gonna be a huge mistake I guess. But Honami might have a bright future. I have many of my friends saying that the Z is too large already and that they'd prefer an HTC ONE or yes, iPhone 5. I can't imagine myself walking around with a 6.4" screen phone and probably won't. The Honami I'm much more curious about and most likely will buy it when released.

But there are also other costs, like research and development and such.. So i would say, roughly 50-75 euro/dollar per unit..

that is one fugly phone... looks more like the LG L series that a sony IMO...
corners are too sharp, the metallic frame looks like it done by a 12 year old boy with a ruler...
no imagination at all...

did they use lego to build this thing?

It needs some color accents, I don't think the washout white is very complimentary. 5.8" screen is too big for me, the 5" XZ1 screen is already pushing it. It's bigger than a Note! The concave edge design is interesting, I think I like it, but it seems like the edges and corners are too sharp. It looks very "cut out" from certain angles. The specs are mind-boggling, though, not sure how they're making that work.

People... Learn how to read -.-
First sentence : " The Taiwan-based company BungBungame has developed a prototype high-end Android smartphone with a target price point of $299, a low price for the specs."
THAT'S NOT SONY.

The black one is interesting. The spects are ok but I worry about the service and warranty. The material maybe are cheap but I like the idea. If the phone do his job is worth it to buy for that price. Also difference between "Made in Taiwan" or like Sony "Made in China" shouldn't be there. When you buy Sony you also pay for the Trademark .

Tell me about it! I had to use Huawei Ascend P6 for 5 weeks while my Z1 was repaired/replacwd. The Chinese quad core 1.5GHz in the P6 sounds beefy, but in real usage, it was so slow and laggy, the S400 in the Motorola G runs circles around it!
PS. The 5 weeks repair was due to I went on Xmas holiday soon after leave my phone for repair, and did not pick it up after returning.

Hey Guys and Gals
Sony's latest flagship is hitting the street less than six months after its predecessor. The Xperia Z3 is also similar in hardware to the Z2, is it worth the upgrade?
Sony touting improved battery management, the addition of remote PS4 play and some tweaks to the camera software, is it enough to keep people coming back? Lets break down some of the features of the Sony Xperia Z3:​
Design
The design is lighter and slimmer than the Z2, while largely similar, its more of refining the design than a whole new device. As previous versions, the Z3 features the same dust and water protection, IP65 and IP68 certification, so should be good for 30 minutes at 1.5 meters water depth. The reinforced corners and tempered glass will also help those a little accident prone.
The Z3 is available in several metallic colors black, white, copper and green.
Screen
The Z3 has basically the same screen as the Z2 a 5.2" panel with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. With competitors flagship's moving to QHD displays, its an odd choice. We're still unsure if if the increased resolution will make a big difference on devices with this size screen and if keeping the pixel count lower Sony has achieved its claims on battery life. If you're happy with the Z2's screen, this should suit.
Hardware
Despite the Z3 being only having marginal improvements over its predecessor, it still packs a punch. Powered along by a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor as found in the Galaxy S5, and is backed up with 3GB of RAM. As with most flagship devices, it has the usual array of connectivity options including 4G, NFC, Wi-Fi and low-energy Bluetooth 4.0. The Z3 also sports stereo speakers, so audio output should be enough for those quick youtube moments.
The camera is the same seen in the Z2 with a 20.7 MP sensor, thought some software improvements have been added. A 25mm G lens for wider, clearer shots has been included and the cameras ISO rating has been upgraded. With 4K video recording also available, this is an appealing package.
Software
Here is the Z3's main party feature, PS4 remote Play! For some this may be the deal breaker, and it is appealing having fully fledged console gaming on a mobile device (for those who dont own a PSVita) Sony has made available a smart looking attachment for the PS controller, so the Z series devices can be mounted above for a full mobile gaming experience. This is a most welcomed add-on, personally i don't get on with on-screen controllers, you just cant beat the feel of real buttons Lets hope one of the community's fantastic devs can port this bad boy to other devices:good::highfive:
Sony has also introduce the lifelog service to its latest devices, this is a fitness and well-being application. Lifelog uses the Z3's sensors along with other wearable's (Smartwatch 3) to collect data on distances covered, calories burnt, workout intensity and steps taken etc. Its a nice touch for those who own other Sony devices.
Battery Life
This is where Sony claims to of upgraded the Z3, despite having a lower rated battery 3100mAh over 3200mAh, Sony have worked on the power management and now claim the Z3 will last a full 2 days over the Z2's 1.4. We have yet to see if these claims are true, so looking forward to members experiences on this.
Now lets take a look at a video hands on:​

Z4 will be all Z2 should be...
Powered by S805 and 4GB ram, 64GB internal memory and Android 5.
Sony didn't bring anything new and we all knew that'll be the case...
They just want to be in our heads...that's all.
If you upgrade from Z2 to Z3 you'll get few new apps and features and that's not enough...
Of course, Sony want older users (not by age but devices) to upgrade and stay in Z family...and that's OK...even...
If I'm stuck at Xperia S or even older (P or U) I would rather buy Z2.
I'll be significantly cheaper and you'll still get awesome device.
To conclude - I think I'll wait Z4... That'll be great device...
For now...I'm enjoying my Z1 and Z2 and I love them both...
Great devices...

Can't wait to get my hands on the z5 compact even if it's just to try it out.
But since I have a z3 compact am still undecided.Should i upgrade to the z5 compact when it comes out or wait for the next iteration?

The Z5m is a completely different beast then the Z3m

Z3 compact vs Z5 compact
Same Screen Size
Same resolution
Same RAM
Same battery
Differences are-
Faster CPU
Better Camera
Fingerprint Sensor
Heck..the.Z5 compact is even uglier
I am keeping the Z3 compact with me

So how is the camera? I mean pixels are nice but does it shoot nice? Anyone has a good place where to see this?

ooohhh how is the heating? That was like a big problem when i owned the z2 with recording it shut down pretty fast..

No dock or wireless charing
So no Deal. Looks like my Z3C lives on!

Specification
Specification is amazing. Lets see how will be service?

Unfortunately it seems it won't be on T-Mobile

One thing that you've missed: the Capless Micro-USB and relocated to the bottom really huge pro, makes waterproofing A LOT more reliable!, (and removes the ugly magnetic charging port)
add also a lot of other specs derived from the chipset.
I've seen some pics taken on a Z5, and they look stunningly amazing.
Another huge pro for me is the new button placement, though it might be ugly, sony really knows what they're doing, why? because the old buttons made almost impossible use a selfie stick or car holder,
I always had to put it away from the center or they would keep pressing the buttons all the time . (I have a Z2)
Con, the same chipset is untrustable in terms of heating, it really depends on software, we really have to see how it comes.

Any rumors on release date besides just "October"?

I just hope it will have RAW support and i hope they redo the camera software because its pretty crap. I would like to see that they change the lower right button to something more usefull and more integrated like little round orbs in a ring so you can easy pick the mode you want.

Yea i already seen the video that was in the other topic bout the camera so thats why i still asked for RAw support because i think it was a highly requested feature and sony said it would add it if people wanted it. But i doubt sony reads these xda msg and no other way to ask them so guess it will never happen.

Some cracking deals on the Z5 already...

No idea of release date tho...

Why Would you want RAW support on a smartphone? Why not just take an SLR camera for this?

Why not? They can add it pretty easy and more high ends have this like S6 etc. and RAW support means more control.

Not really. Do you even own a z3? Specs are almost the same for the compact model.

Here's to hoping it comes to Verizon!
