Sony will still be bringing phones to the US. They aren't completely ditching this market it's just not where they are focusing their efforts and advertising.

Sent from my Sony Xperia™ Z Ultra
[Xperia Z General] Purehazard:
I agree. Sony's just putting more of their limited marketing money to help secure other markets first since the US market is tougher. The Reuters article even said that they will take the US market more gradually.

People need to read the articles before jumping to conclusions. That Phonedog article by Anna whatever is poorly written and misrepresents the fact to such huge degree.
[Xperia Z General] Spectre51:
And it's pushed back again. Because they just launched the new sonystyle.com website they moved the ZU, Z1 and Smartwatch 2 back to this Tuesday. They wanted to make sure the site ran okay before throwing up orders for new devices.

US only of course.

So both Canada and U.S. will actually launch ZU/Z1 on 15th?

Do you have any information about the model of the unlocked version that will be sold on Canada? I really hope it will be C6906...
[Xperia Z General] Spectre51:
Sorry don't know what they will have for Canada.

[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
for Canada I think LTE version has been released !!
[Xperia Z General] greatremix:
But there's no way to have it since none of those carriers actually ship to US
[Xperia Z General] Purehazard:
In Canada, the carrier locked outright pricing is odd.

Rogers: $599.99

Bell: $699.99

Telus: $724.99

Not sure why the big difference. I'm with Rogers so I'm not complaining.

[Xperia Z General] Lucasm93:
Please sir, do not take my sentences out of context and add the meaning that you want to them. I made it very clear that what maters is the phone, not it's specs alone. The SGS3 is the best phone out there now. Not only because of it's screen, performance, software, features, design, ergonomics, camera or battery life alone, but because of the sum of those things.

Samsung did not get to their position by selling crap phones and giving no customer support, I garantee you that.

Motorola followed the path of crap phones and no customer support, look what they are now.

And if you can find where I said that the Tegra 3 is good or that any phone should have it..:rolleyes:

Altough the Tegra 3 manages memory better than the S4, as we can see by the only version of the HOX suffering with multitasking issues is the AT&T version.

The Adreno GPU in the S4 is a "memory hog". It will be no surprise if the US variant of the SGS3 comes with 2gb of RAM, and then you will be able to see why RAM sometimes, do mater.

Let time pass and we will see how things turn out, but remember of what I said when the next Android version takes advantage of the power out there. Or you think the Xperia S will handle 18 months of updates? Please.

[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
There is absolutely no point of increasing resolution any more as it is. Nobody will notice but you will need something like xenon as a background light :)

They need a bigger display. The question is, should they simply scale it to something like 4" while preserving the aspect ratio and resolution (iphone would apear a little "fatter", but more or less still ok) or let ir grow longer.

Which can be done in a similar way as with ipad: "old" apps can appear in correct aspect ration with black stripe. And new apps could use the complete screen.

But of course, the developers would not be happy. Ant there would be enough returned ridicule about "fragmentation".

I would bet they will just scale it up while leaving resolution and aspect ratio as they are.
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
/offtopic

I'm not a mod or anything, but let's keep this ontopic and not about SGS3 etc...
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Ir depends on your point of view. To me the SGS3 is not the best phone out there, otherwise I would already ordered it. Because of amoled (I did not buy GNEX because of the display) and because of software. Features I won't use, but you can be sure, it will be a major source for upgrade delays. The same as with SGS2. As to the ergonomics - this remains to be seen when that thing will come out.

Depends on where you live. Here in Germany Samsung service is not the best of the best. As for the motorola, I agree, they somehow manage to produce phones with several outstanding things and tons of bad ones. Which kind of spoil the whole package.

It is just the only one Quad CPU available on the market. Or you expect, that Samsung will sell sony their quad right now? :) Which is by the way still needs proof it is significantly better than Tegra.

Really? CPU does not manage memory by itself, the LinuxOS/Android does.

Anyway, interesting idea. How much more RAM does the S4 needs as opposed to the Tegra?

As for the multitasking issues, I could bet it is not due to the memory but to conserve the battery power. Since there are a lot of broken apps which drain power even when sitting in background doing nothing.

Why not? My NexusS has just a single core cpu and 512mb of ram and happily runs the latest ICS. And it is like 24 months old (SGS apeared almost exactly 2 years ago).

Anyway, I would be prepared to bet, that next Android won't do anything to exploit more cores as it does now. Because there is simply nothing it can do.

And is there really no chance for a S4 Pro? unknown? :D

i am just curious to see what does Sony have in store for us for H1 2014 flagship :)
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
I actually hope nothing! Do a refresh for some operators, do the mini version and then wait until the summer for the next big thing. It's not wise or sustainable to change every six months.

I'd like a new range of tablets now though.
[Xperia Z General] Mambobuzzz:
Would realy love to see a shrinked Z1. He's just to big ! :p
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
I think the mini Z1 is a dead cert. And, along with the Z1s, it would seem CES is well covered (especially if there's a new tablet).

Sony will also have loads of new TV products - presumably many more 4K sets to suit all budgets - and no company wants to release TOO much in one go!
[Xperia Z General] Jonfensu:
What i think

D690x=Z2 (?) - Z1 proper sucessor

D660x=Z1S (?) - Z1 refresh

D650x=ZL sucessor

D550x=Z1 mini - ZR sucessor

D530x=SP sucessor

My question is... Will sony release D650x and D530x in CES, or should we wait for MWC?

Whats gonna be the price tag of Z1 mini? $450? And... What about ZU WiFi?

bad viewing angles and black level AGAIN?

i guess i should give up thinking sony will ever care about screen quality on their phones they ALWAYS cheap out on the screens a shame as i love the build quality and design i love my z1 but the screen is dissapointing

sony knows how to make screens they just choose not to care when it comes to their phones which is p****ng me off to be honest if i want a good screen i have to buy a htc as sony dosn't CARE oh yeah they care about one thing when it comes to phone screens resolution next phone will be 4k with the same cheap panel

oh and it seems from the pictures that they still have the inner plastic frame inside before the metal one that frame ruined alot of my phone it sticks out and it is made of plastic

so far i am dissapointed on the plus side bezels are thinner i will likely buy this one due to the design thats the only reason i buy sony phones because they look stunning and are not round
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
chill dude, this is obviously a prototype .... with Xperia Z1 compact and Xperia T2 Ultra having IPS panels, im sure their next flagship will have IPS
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Uhm, how can you say that bad viewing angles is something bad? Isn't it like purely opinion based....

I love that other people near me can't actually see/read what I'm doing.

You can bring the friends also want to watch argument, but this is a personal device it's meant that only you watch it and not xx people around you.

In the good ol days people only used phones to call/text other people. Nowadays people complain about this and that being bad...

it doesn't look like evolution to me, but more like devolution.

STAHP COMPLAINING!

Or better yet... Get your own company and show the rest how it's done.

Complaining is so easy, but actually doing something....
[Xperia Z General] zzcool:
the privacy arguement again

i can see every single piece of text on my z1 from any angle from a distance but colors are way off it dosn't prevent me from seeing whats on the screen it just makes everything look bad

i did an experiment i put my phone next to me as if someone was sitting next to me i easily saw everything

so please just please end this agurment i am suprised it hasn't ended already

i don't care about friends seeing the screen bad viewing angles just makes me sad i want the screen to be perfect from every angle just knowing that it's not makes me sad

no offense to anyone ofcourse it just dissapoints me that sony always cheaps out on phone screens as i like their design

[Xperia Z General] joejoe23:
No innovations but I think it improves the flaws of its predecessor. Better ips screen (much much better viewing angles than Z1 for those who care), better front facing speaker. Some cool features like timeshift videos.
[Xperia Z General] ionmarx:
My point was just that the release period between Z1 and Z2 was so close together. :)
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Well, point is we are not interested here in Xperia Active successor or 2013 quad phone, for sure Sony has to release quad core in Q1, 2013 if it wants to be in competition..

This thread is all about Hayabusa, which we are assuming to be int varient of GX..

from xperia PLAY
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
As unknown noted above, this is the closest thing to an active rumours thread that we've got going. The one on the x10 forum kinda fizzled out. Based on all of this, I'm guessing that whatever he's hinting at is the Active successor.

Now if Sony truly is planning a 1080p 5" device for next year then I'll be willing to skip the hayabusa and mint and wait for that.

I just wish we had a clear idea of whether they're going to purely stick to Android or open the door for Vita OS on a phone because I'll be spending a lot on Vita games soon and would kill to have 'em on my phone.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Vita OS, not before 2014..

They dont want to kill, PS VITA right now :D

[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Yeah, I figured they'd wait to build up an app ecosystem via ps suite before launching the OS on other devices, otherwise it'd be nearly impossible to compete with iOS, Android and Windows.

HTC will use

the 4.3-inch AMOLED displays

from AU Optronics in its One S

smartphone, while Sony is expected use

them in the leaked LT30i Mint 1 , which will

be its first quad-core smartphone"

Mint - Quad core. Is Sony giving a relook to its

2012 plans?

Thanks to Randomuser for the link.
[Xperia Z General] Readler:
Has anybody thought of it that the Mint might be a tablet? I know the link says 4,3" screen, but that hasn't to be true.

Besides: the leaks said the Hayabusa comes out around September. When should the Mint release? I don't think Sony would release a new flagship after 2 - 3 months.

So, with having a new tablet, they'd stick to their plan to not release a quad-core phone, too. Plus, there were no news about a new tablet and the current ones aren't THAT new anymore.
[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
I think they dont want to release Android Tablet this year (or ever?)

Cuz Window 8 is coming in the 4th quarter, its a better choice for a tablet rather than android :)
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
Sony Mobile is still operated separately, exactly as SE was before. Only the name has really changed, along with the top level management.

Sony already has two tablets, and may well release more. It might not have anything to do with Sony Mobile for a while. Knowing how Sony operates with multiple divisions, the Windows 8 tablets might be handled by the people that manage laptops.

Cuz the sales of their tablets were not that good

also the market are now dominated by Ipad while Android has very little market shares (cant post the link :<)

I dont see a point why they should release another Android tablets because the sales might be low

At the moment, Its better for them to stick with developing smartphones rather than tablets (my opinion :D) Cuz the new GX and SX look promising

The only thing Sony need to do now is release those phones to the global market ASAP before Samsung and HTC steal most of their potential customers...
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
There will be a new Sony Android tablet, and it will launch very, very soon. Tablets are a key part of Sony's four-screen strategy. The Tablet S has also gone out of production, and is completely sold out almost everywhere aside the more expensive 32GB and 3G-versions.

Expect a new tablet in the coming 2 months.

...Isn't that normal though? If it's going to be released next year, I would sure hope it would be a replacement :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
Yes, but is it going to be made by Sony Mobile? If not, it still might not be the model on the roadmap - and made by the same division that did the Tablet S and Tablet P.

Sony will definitely keep on making tablets, and they'll soon have their Google TV box on sale which looks pretty exciting. They're covering most bases.
