End of the Z line? Start of something new? - Xperia Z4/Z3+ General

Well... The Z4 may be a disappointment for some people, but something seems a little strange about this release. This is found on the japanese site of Sony:

'The product is a product aimed at completing the form of Xperia Z series.'
It suggests that Sony is ending the Z series
.

Fortunately, I theorize things may not be ending badly like this. Last year when Sony was hacked, emails regarding a new concept was leaked, as shown below:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/04/18/is-sony-working-on-an-all-metal-xperia-flagship-multiple-official-concept-images-leak/
The 'Y' series. Maybe Sony is going from Z to Y to X and so on? I think Sony is ditching 'Z' for the 'Y' series, which explains the crummy upgrade from the Z3 to Z4...

Yeah I liked the metal look of that Y pic. I hope the rear is same.
I can't read that line on the Sony pic you posted though. It is too small fuzzy and low res.

Here you go
Just translate it to English

Real shame if true as the z series is one of the best android designs

I was hoping to grab a Z4 to replace my Oneplus. 2 features I miss are waterproof, or IR blaster, so i'd upgrade from oneplus to get one of those. I was upset to see the Z4 was Japan only, but if what you think is true, i'll be glad to wait.

I think the machine translator gave you a wrong interpretion;
Even if I studied Japanese just a little bit, I could sense that the original text '本商品は、Xperia Zシリーズの完成形を目指した商品です。' could mean 'We aimed to make an ultimate Z series phone.' rather than 'We aimed to make the end of the line.'

Good news for me
i like to see something new; new design, new policy for features and hardware and etc
so new series means wht i want
:good:

Xperia Z series remained one of the successful range of xperia, i think they will carry on with this but in case they are planning to end it even then I am convinced that they must be bringing something that will outclass even the Z series.

Happy news for all. We hope "Y" series will more attractive ever series. wish it all the best future.:good:

Pardon me, but is this phone going to be only in Japan? I was hoping to get this in the states- is that not going to be an option?

I think its only for Japan... But after release u can buy it from online stores.. I mean imported mobiles...

It would be sad tho. If they end the Z series. Personally i like Sony smartphones cause of the Z series only.

I am also looking for the exciting "y" series on this version.

Even if I did that, it would be like impossible to get accessories for it in the states, since there would be no demand (other than me)

Xperia Z to Y
May be. But the new "Y" series could be more advanced than the old Z. That can't just keep on continue Z5, Z6,.....Z100. For their business, Sony has to change their models and designs according to the tend and technology...

No I, if the galaxy S6 is better. Just best that can be wet? :silly:

I would not want Sony end their Z series, coz' I am patiently waiting for the Z5 this year.
Z4 for me is a bit disappointing, its just a little upgrade from the Z3.
I hope they will release Z5 with a whole new level of flagship phone! :good::fingers-crossed:

I would be more than happy if they end the Z series and bring something new. From Z to Z4 they all look quite identical and after using Xperia Z and Xperia Z2, I'm not interested to buy the next Flagship with the same design.

Is Y the lavender concept?
That's really similar to what we see in lavender

Can we stop with all the speculation. Look what happened with the galaxy s3.
Wait for official word from Sony.
We had the same speculation about a dual core device last year and we ended up with the arc s.
Have you fellas not learnt anything.
Goodness.
I'll tell you now, besides the S and the Ion, we will not see any other flagship devices from Sony this year.
At the most, you might see a beefed up S but judging by sales figures, that's looking less likely by the day.
One flagship per year. That's the only strategy that makes any sense for all concerned. Consumers as well as for manufacturers.

I can confirm the device exists and is to be released in 2012.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Well I don't see how it won't be a real phone...
But I think it will indeed be like the Arc > Arc S situation, and it will be a sort of higher spec Xperia S.
The specs according to the rumors make it out to be that in my opinion...
I will buy Hayabusa if its specs will be similar to Xperia S and design like our xperia aRc with some changes..
from xperia PLAY
It would make perfect sense in my opinion.
Shame though (if those pics above are correct) that they may ditch the light bar. I was hoping they would hold on to it, because I truly love that feature . The S4 with that rumored arc form would appease the spec junkies and arc fans, and the S will appease the light bar monolith phone people, so everyone's happy .

I doubt this very much. Phones can be registered just as backup incase things go wrong saleswise but might never get released to manufacturing.

Any source of this pdf? I am not able to find any !!!
ICS on launch date? Sweet!
That PDF is legit. Marketing divisions get them before launch, but this is pretty incredible how the whole press got leaked.
Anyways, Hayabusa will be slightly different in terms of design. It won't be full white like the GX. I personally like the GX more in terms of looks though.

To be honest, im actually more excited how Sony could come up with their own brand of ICS, after a good turn up by Samsung GS3 on their ICS features (except the phone design though)

XDA Top Smartphone Picks:Z1 comes 4th

Link here. XDA's Top Smartphone and Tablet picks of 2013
I'd say the Z1 did VERY well considering that we are a smaller community than many of the phones listed on there. We (barely) beat the LG G2 and were way ahead of the Galaxy S4! I'm a bit surprised that the Xperia tablet Z isn't there on the tablet side though, I'd list it as one of the best tablets that you can buy right now. Anyhow, good job Sony Z1!

The Tablet Z isn't there because they forgot about it when making the poll, even so it actually got roughly 8% of the votes by write-in which certainly says something about its popularity I think.
Well, Nexus 5 would obviously be on number one. It's nice to see our phone is on the top 3
I am really happy to see this results.also I actually prefer my z1 instead of HTC one because of more power full hardware and nexus 5 because of sd card slot,camera,brand!! ))

Am surprised the Note 3 beat the Z1 instead of the G2. if anything i'd have expected it to be the other way around.
Note 3 is in the phablet space, the G2 is a more appropriate rival to the Z1.

And the only tablet besides the Nexus series that has a stable CM.
Why the note 10.1 (2014) attracts so much attention is a surprise as the previous note 10.1 model is still quite capable.
Z1 now 3th
Indeed
Just voted Z1 , let's see if can get it up to second place.
Best tablet nexus 7 !? People are crazy or they vote for the device they have, or the cheaper one instead of the better of the year, how nexus 7 which is a piece of ugly plastic could be better than tablet Z ? Crazy.
If they really forgot about it in the people poll then something is wrong with xda considering they made a Xperia Tablet Z competition some weeks ago...
Edit : misclick 'poll" and not "people" !

XDA people vote for nexus because it's the most easily moddable, that's probably why.
I'm quite surprised the Z1 made 3rd place. In order for a phone that's not commonly sold in the USA to score that high on US-centric website it has to be exceptionally good not just good. Well done Sony.
Z1 is great and if the votes keep coming it`ll be 2nd (I can see the appeal of Nexus 5).

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.

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

Is the Xperia Z3 Compact the next device for you?

Hey Guys and Gals
The Z3 Compact's specifications look very interesting, sharing many of the features of the flagship Xperia Z3, rolled up into a smaller package. The screen resolution is considerably lower, but with the smaller screen size, it still manages a reasonable ~319 ppi. With the flagship devices getting ever larger, its refreshing to see a manufacturer pack high-end hardware into a "mini" form factor. Great for those who don't want or don't need a 5"+ screen. Throw in PS4 remote play, its a tidy little package. Who's getting one? Would anybody consider this over its larger brother?

I just hope Sony releases the phone in North America timely, I hate when manufacturers announce new and exciting products but make us wait months and months unending till all the euphoria dies.
But the good news is that it is currently listed on both the US/CA Sony online store as "coming soon" though UK store already has it for pre-order.

Welcome to the club
The chance is 90% that I'll switch from the Xperia Z to the Xperia Z 3Compact
I'm definitely getting it, leaving my first Sony phone behind, a nice Xperia ZR which I absolutely love. I'll love the Z3 Compact even more
Sent from my C5503 using XDA Free mobile app
Im getting one, going from a htc one m7.
I'm definitely getting this one too.. Going from my 3 year old Galaxy S2 to this and I would prefer the Z3C any day over the Z3 itself. Even if both had identical pricing I would go with Z3C only as I have a strong preference for the smaller and the right footprint of Z3C. I want an android phone that can be comfortably operated with one hand and yet offers top of the line specs.
I currently have a GS5 but don't like Samsung, i am waiting for the iPhone announcement just to see what it brings but the Z3c is looking awesome and i am seriously considering going for it. My only annoyance is i think timescape ui looks a bit outdated hope they refresh it with the Android L update.
I can't decide between the Z3 and the Z3c. Just to put things in perspective, the screen on this thing is almost as large as the HTC One M7 and the rumored iPhone 6 but the overall device size is much smaller!
I Hope So... This Smartphone is Very Interesting for Me
I got a Z1 Compact, 6 months ago. Z3 Compact is definitelly worth upgrading to.
Plus, same res but bigger screen?
No.
Definitely, as soon as its available in India, but I'm confused between the white and the mint. White because the front is white too and mint is just adorable

On Android, 'ugly' UI shouldn't be an excuse, since you can always change the UI to your liking.

I know and it is possible, however i would like to keep it stock, Sony has the ability to install theme's on top of the UI and i can install nova and change alot and make it look good but there are a few elements which look really outdated like the floating apps menu, just would like them to make the UI fresh again Android L style would seem nice.

But then again that's an opinion. There are many people that won't agree with your points. So in the end they can't please everyone.
I don't think they will rush anything Android L, not even just a theme/skin. They will come with a skin when they bring out Android L for Sony devices.

Easily to be mistaken tho
It's Apple, they don't like changes:angel:

But then again that's an opinion. There are many people that won't agree with your points. So in the end they can't please everyone.
I don't think they will rush anything Android L, not even just a theme/skin. They will come with a skin when they bring out Android L for Sony devices.

Yes it is!

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 .

I like Sony, phone has good quality, design also nice
Xperia Z4 will be a 5.5" inch screen and UHD resolution and snapdragon 805 (confirmed informations) not much, but little informations is better than nothing
