Reviewers are getting only black or white versions, so no chances off pics there. And since they and the rest of the internet is my only source of pics, you can understand.
Dunno about Singapore but people here only prefer 2 colors-black or white.yellow if you put a gun to the head, but that's the limit..

I BELIEVE THAT SP IS VERY MUCH CAPABLE OF RUNNING KITKAT

Why even post this considering it's already been mentioned in the android 4.3/kitkat thread....

For Ordinary KitKat i think that it will work but pray for ART

If Sony doesn't release 4.4 for SP I might buy the Z1 Compact or whatever will be the SP's succesor(only if it has 2 GB of ram !). What do you think Sony wants me to do ?

Most of the phones that have recently had 4.3 released had said that they were under investigation to get it. It doesn't mean we won't it just means they are going to see how much work it will take to do. Still a really good chance we will see it

Agree with you. I had the same thought!

I do believe that 4.4 will come to SP, since they have announced it as "future version" like last year. I guess they just want to take a break for a while for the whining that we SP users gave to them. :laugh:

Sony should release 4.4 +1 version. Since they support a device 18 months, I reckon that a version above Kitkat will release and that will be the last and the final update.

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.

On the upside, HTC, Samsung, and LG have already done their flagship releases for this year, so they only have to worry about the Galaxy Note (not a direct Z3 competitor) and the iPhone (which frankly isn't going to be cross-shopped). The Z2 got lost in the shuffle earlier this year, didn't quite stack up against the others, and none of the US carriers even bothered to pick it up.

Z2 was awesome but it slid like hell
Until I dropped it at the bottom of Ephemerisle, my Z2 was an awesome device, and I loved it much over the Samsung Galaxy S5 that I have now.
The only problem - it was WAY too slippery. I'd put it on any slightly not straight surface, and it would slip. Off the couch, off the car seat, off of everything.
Has this been fixed in the Z3?

they are glass on both sides so unless they make rubber glass, no.. i hardly see this as an issue. i mean, it's either a cheap rubber plastic phone or a phone made of quality material. sometimes you just have to make some sacrifices..

Yes, it's called a case.

whoa, pricing in the UK already! waiting in Canada ...
wonder what will happen with the Z2 price. they can't have both phones at $700, and they certainly shouldn't charge more than that for the Z3.

I'm already waiting for Amazon US prices... :crossfingers:

I guess i know how you z2 owners feel now. I have the note 3 and the 4 did not impress at all. Z3 is probably my next phone due to the ps4 feature so there is no reason to buy a vita. Wonder how much it will cost in the us?

That's good news. I don't wanna buy a T-Mobile one if it has their branding all over it though. I'd rather get one from the Sony store unlocked if possible.

Did you watch the video? I didn't see Tmobile on there at all except on the start up. Unless they brand it later on down the road.

Next update will come in June acording to Rickard, Community Manager.
Look at this forum theme about bloetooth audio stutter problem.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...after-marshmallow-update/td-p/1103796/page/21
And on this page there is his post.
This coud be 32.2.A.0.224 firmware Android 6.0.1.

It shall be done by mid of June according to leaked update road map that is out for months now, but seems i cannot find it again. But i know it stands for MR1 with Stamina function and version numbers do confirm that. Along this, in June both M4Aqua and M5 should be upgraded to MM

Man I hope it's 6.0.1, with the newest security patches. In its current state, the Z5 is still vulnerable to Stagefright
EDIT: Already rolling out for some devices it seems: http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/06/02/xperia-z5-firmware-update-32-2-a-0-224/
"At the time of writing, the update is available to the Xperia Z5 (E6603), Xperia Z5 Dual (E6683) and Xperia Z5 Compact (E5803, E5823), but we expect the Xperia Z5 Premium to go live shortly too. "
