awesome and the thing is the headphone jack not cover but yet its waterproof that some next generation stuff sony!!

z1 has open jack, so nothing new. To be honest this is pointless, so they add more ram, bigger battery and a useless camera. What is the point of that if they cant even provide a good working camera for other phones. Each update make the camera worser. Phone companies dont know what else to do, so they bump up the speeds and so on, think its best thing ever.

The new UI, new function such as Time Shift Video 4K and more on 4.4(XZ2) will port to XZ

never knew the z1 had it first i had the xperia z and it had a flap on it so thats news to me

I read at Mobile-review.com preview that Sony finally removed those protective films from front/back. Can anyone confirm this?

Released globally in March.... but I guess globally doesn't include the US. We'll probably get Z2s in like august or something. This sucks though, hoping it comes to the US soon and with tmobile again.
I skipped in the Z1 because it's not that big of an upgrade. What I also like about Z2 is that FINALLY, another company decides to put dual speakers on the front of the phone for audio. Here's hoping the camera is a lot better, preferably in low light conditions.

Z2 looks awesome and promising. SONY is on the right track.

Just a ping pong tool.
5.2.. If i want a big screen i will buy a tablet not a phone. Unfortunately z1 compact is like a cheap china phone without black glass cover.

Z2 looks nice and after seeing the samsung galaxy S5 i can say that Sony is the winner. I dont see the point in upgrading from my Xperia Z to any of those devices.

Does someone know if the Z2 got the same screenprotector as Z1 and Z1 Compact?

The bezels are much smaller or is it my idea??

Yeah. it has thinner bezel, according to measurement in comparison with Z and Z1.

The thread you are referring is just one of my settings.apk slightly modded.
All smart settings (calling, backlight,...) are using a coprocessor who is only present since Qualcomm 800 soc.
I know what I am saying, for reference do some search on Sony for developing website, they talked about that

will do it ....

the only missing thing is "pause" function in video recording..
why samsung has it? why the older sony ericsson have it and the newer sony wont have pause in recording..
only record and stop. that's what missing...

Xperia Z4 - do you like this design?

Hi guys...
@niaboc79 point me to this web page
Apparently, this should be next Sony's big thing...
If you ask me, I don't like new look but we'll see final design once Sony announce this new beast.
And yeah...even many claimed it'll have S810, it'll probably be S805 with 4GB of ram.

Don't get it...?
What do you wanna say?

I wouldent see why not the device would be so powerful, they have had some tough market recently and although sony isnt one to faulter in quality (exept Z2 hiccip)
Im hoping to come across a Z4 but my college budget says hell never.

That is the image of a Z3...

http://www.androidpit.com/sony-xperia-z4-release-date-news-specs-features
here is the features of the upcoming z4. I gonna buy this!!!

Nice but i hope sony will avoid onscreen buttons or at leastgive us an option just like oneplus one..

That pic just looks like a Z2 it seems though
Or perhaps something edited and also made to look poor quality

BTW - that digitiser isn't from Z4.
That's a fake.

I wonder about Z4, Sony need to have a 64bit cpu just for the name of it
Customers either go for lies or big titles, Sony trys not to lie but they also fail to provide at times
Z4 would need a 805 or above to arouse any eyes
Maybe not even that, perhaps lolipop, 64bit, QHD Display
Big words Avg customers dont know about
Yay marketing, Crude work

nope xperia design is loosing its point
The main reason wich made me buy a smartphone now was the genius design of the XZseries, but since the Z3 they go this ****ty casual rounded borders way wich just looks as every other Iphone.replicant...
When I look at my naked Z2, damn I get a tech.boner with nice crispy borders looks like a chocolate.bar! Yummyyummy
And hopefully the Z4 comes with an Ultra version thats the only thing I miss bout my Z2 make them bigger, I anyways charge daily whats the point of small screen for the sake of 30% battery over the night so u have to charge in the mifdle of the next day xD
I also had seen an Z4 design earlier wich went more onto my desired way of design but i think it was a phantom....Ill post a link when I find it later

The Z4 will be almost the same as Z2. There are pics of the Display and the stereo speakers that are the same as our Z2's ( : So Sony heard us about the sh..ty Z3 design at least. I love my Z2 design also..Its just..stylish and elegant :fingers-crossed:

Looks much better than z3 .

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?
---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------
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...
