So, it looks like Sony didn't release Z2 Compact as we expected. At least not just yet.
They released a small variation of Z1 Compact with same specifications in japan.

What we know is different is back cover which is now matte and more colors (lavernder, orange, black and white)!
Do you think it will see international release? Any more difference you know?

AFAIK SO-2F (or whatever it's called in Japan) does NOT have problems with flash bleed. Flash bleed is caused by plastic back cover, that is present only in international version - z1c.
I wonder though, if they added the T2W feature and\or 4k recording (not that I care much about HighRes, but still).

OK, removed that line.
4K not 100%, and I am not sure about T2W but probably not.
This is not Z2 Compact it's just Z1 compact in another form I guess. And I am not sure about the international version of it...
This is not the real Z2 compact, pls treat it as ZR 2 Compact
I don't think it is an upgrade.
If anything, it is the budget model.
The frame is probably of different material...

Has anybody used these with a pressure sensitive touch screen device and the Touch Pro in particular?
I've never seen one in the US but they're all over the place in Japan. It like a screen protector but when viewed at an angle over ~30degrees from perpendicular the screen is unreadable or black, sometimes with a image on it.
This page shows how it works, the page is Japanese but there's pictures.

The difference is they're stiffer and thicker than the usual screen protector so I wonder how well the pressure sensitive screens like the Touch Pro work. Since the pressure sensitivity is adjustable they might still work good anyway.
There's a Touch Pro specific one for sale here for $8 so I'd think that means it works decently.

And the next question is can anybody in Japan order these up for us? Maybe expansys can buy them in bulk and resell them to us?
I am sure this is nice especially in Japan where it would be annoying to have someone constantly trying to look at your screen so they could watch you weird cartoon pr0n.
Nice find... very nice. I'll try to get a few. You can as well go request this in Dealextreme... if the demand is high, they will consider of getting it listed.
Nice one, I will have a look at the shop on the way home tonight and see how they perform.
Pocketsolutions has them, just not for the fuze yet.

HOLY CRAP! those are definitely not iphones
too bad we can't see the front of it
but yes it does resembles a heck of a lot to SGS i9000
i'll not be surprised, since they are sponsored by Tmobile see jackets
ENHANCE!!!
right, look at the camera and headphone jack

also the USB slot
and the back speaker (it has a different shade than the rest of the phone)
it's definitely the Tmobile SGS
guy on the left probably saying something in german along the lines - "this xxxking GPS, what a joke", it thought i was in ......"
hahah thats def Galaxy S baby!!!!
The camera lens frame seems a bit rectangular instead of the squarish format of the SGS.
But it might be some aspect ratio distortion on the photo. They might be using the mighty Samsung indeed... especially since no GPS is needed there so a unit without one would still completely satisfy.

"Guy on the left" is Franck Ribéry, one of the best fotball players alive. His German is not all that fluent (coming from France), but may be enough to talk about GPS.
There has been a lot of controversy around a picture that Oneplus revealed showing that the One could fit under a Sony Xperia Z1. Here is the video showing what really happens. To me it was interesting to see and it also helps on my decision of buying the 1+1 since I've hold the Xperia Z1 and now have a better idea on how the dimensions of the 1+1 will feel in my hands. Size was one on my main concerns regarding purchasing a device like this. It is definitely not bad for a 5.5" screen even thought that for a 5" screen device the Xperia is definitely large.
What do you guys think?

it would probably be a little less impressive in person.

I agree with you. It is definitely not a small device. But nonetheless Oneplus did a good job on the design keeping a fairly small bezel for its screen size considering the screen is much larger and also looks like it's very light too.
i agree. mainly because the size of the bezels on the z1 are huge. the z2 is better, but sony phones are bezel-tastic. if they did the same trick with the note 3, youd be unimpressed.

Yeah, from the comparison videos the 1+1 is taller than the Note 3 but the Note is wider as it has bigger 5.7 inches screen.

3side no bezels
cant wait to see the Z4
p.s. it is either over PhotoShop'ed photo or it is a future coming phone:laugh::laugh:
I wouldn't mind that being the Z4. It's hideous, which means our Z3 will be 'the best Sony has to offer' for another ~6 months..?
I'd rather they wait till September with the release.

I hope this is not going to be 6months, this time possible to be 9months, and the next gen start to be 12months
at least Sony doing this 6months cycle for so long, give Sony one more gen to tune the cycle, also lots of competitor outside and using latest CPU...
If that is the Z4, then I'm glad I got the Z3 as that is hideous. I don't think the final Z4 has been chosen. They've moved to 12 month cycle now, 6 months is stupid. Even 12 months is too short IMO, it should be about software nowadays not hardware.
How is that hideous ?!?! Am I missing something, didn't everyone want thin to no bezel ?! I would love for that render to be real , but it screams photoshop.
The phone looks to have no bottom bezel but only a top part for the speaker, Sony logo and camera. Or the buttons are on the bottom bezel and no dual speakers. Clearly unsymmetrical bezels annoy new to. Hideous. Why would Sony Photoshop some random device.
The cutouts are there for 2 speakers
Epic failure on photo editing?
Hi, have anyone any idea about this watch?

so far I've found this thing about ZePhone:
Pros
1. It's not one of those generic Chinese watches, it has it's own designs and builds.
2. I've read somewhere that it's got an update from 4.2 to 4.4. so OEM is actually support this one.
3. It seems mykronoz smart bands and smart watches are not that bad.
4.It has a reliable pedometer sensor.
6. big battery at 500 mah
Cons:
1. There is almost nothing about zephone on the net, even OEM website is so vague about this model.
2. There is no SD card slot and internal memory is just 2.3 GB.
3. It's screen is landscape! I guess it would be better for typing, but I don't know how other apps would look like in landscape mode on such a small resolution.
4. screen seems to be mediocre one. although ht he device itself is more expensive than generic Chinese ones.
5. it's very bulky. with a smaller screen it's bigger than Gear S.
If it's anything like their ZeClock (which I own), it's made in China.
