One thing I'd love to see Sony implement in a future device would be the ability to capture 360 videos without the need for a separate camera. Not sure how the tech works or if would even be possible but it would be pretty decent if they could.

There is little going on in terms of innovation, Galaxy S6 and S7 are very similar in many aspects and they could only re-introduce features like SD card and waterproofing. What they did do is improve on most aspects like battery life while Sony actually regresses if you take Z3 to Z5 to X Performance. The X Performance actually does very well compared to the S7 despite only having 3GB RAM, camera is also very good but I fell like it is another stop-gap device by Sony because of the lack of 4K recording.
I also agree that the Z3 and Compact were the last awesome devices they made. I massively regret getting the Z3+ over the original Z3 because the chipset is utter trash. Makes me skip the Z5 as well. So far the X is the most compelling device because its a mid range that acts like a high end so I may pick one up only when the price drops though. I'm craving a proper Compact so like the Z3 and not Z5 version which was junk.
What the OnePlus3 does that Sony should also do, is put a lower price compared to others so they can be forgiven if the phone doesn't perform. It lowers expectations and people focus on the good rather than demand top specs at top price. Its an easier market for Sony to handle. The Z1/Z3 Compact were cheaper than the standard flagships so people could forgive the 720p display and as such, they received massive praise from everyone. People were more critical of the flagships having dodgy cameras but from the perspective of the Compact, it had a flagship sensor in it. I think the X is supposed to be the equivalent Compact for this year, I hope not because an X Compact is what I really want from Sony with the essence of the Z3 Compact.

I need a new Tablet Compact. I've been hugely impressed with the one I have. That market is shrinking though, by all accounts, so I'm not holding out.
I think, at IFA, we'll see more IoT stuff + an X Compact maybe only because it's the one phone that Sony has that does actually rule them all. Give it a more premium feel but don't charge the earth.

^Quick question, what was the last truly innovative piece of tech fitted to any phone?
Most innovations if you can call them that is just the same rehashed tech with a twist. There's no innovation on the S7 range that is "new" same could be said for the HTC 10 and the G5 with its expensive friends, they're OK but nothing you couldn't buy before. We have become so demanding as customers that manufacturers are just trying everything they can to stand out from the crowd when in all honesty it just confuses the mass public who just want a good looking phone that has decent battery life and maybe take a good photo and that's about it and that's why I love the X it's kind of a no frills smartphone that gets all the basics right with just the right amount of extras to satisfy the majority of users out there.
Mr Tripe, you can pick up the XA in the UK for £190 which is about €230 which for myself who had used the phone finds that very reasonable.

Agree.

XP vs S7 vs One plus vs apple
Being the best in Daylight perhaps is not bad at all or being almost 2nd during night shot which is not really trash as what reviewers are emphasizing. Moreover, I am sure that at manual mode, the XP will probably be better or on par with S7 especially considering how Sony have improved their Iso sensitivity quality.
My z2 before has too many noise at Iso 400. Now, iso 400 is really good and much better than iphone as always but better

Well we were just talking about this the other day, and Sharp has released a phone with a 120Hz display:

I know it's a bit of wishful thinking, but I REALLY wish that Sony would use the PSVR display on their next flagship. 5.7" 1080p RGB OLED. Well, maybe a variation of it, because IIRC the PSVR display has its pixels packed tighter in the middle to reduce the screen door effect. A standard screen with the same specs would be great!
And as always, I'll state my hope for a future flagship Ultra
The mere fact that they're continuing to make Ultras makes me happy, but the fact that none of them are flagships is frustrating as hell.

I've nicked this slide from xperiablog.com which was taken from an investor meeting. The slide shows at the top the Z5 Premium enjoyed strong sales and was highly appreciated by customers. This to me would suggest the a new Premium is in the works and the rumor from earlier on in the year may prove to be true.

Z5 Premium is probably the best Sony phone i've owned.
A day and a half of battery with medium to high use, stable, literally premium feel, excellent camera (despite whiners that use other brands), fast, smooth interface, excellent signal reception of wi-fi/GSM data, excellent display, very efficient ambient light sensor, no overheat whatsoever and a lot of other qualitys that only the owners know.

this brings up another issue I have with Sony, technically the Z5P screen should be able to do 120Hz since almost everything is rendered at 1080p. If they screen is 4K 60Hz, it should be able to do 120Hz @ 1080p easily. Wish they would do more with the screen, and its also perfect for VR.

So you think it's just simple math wherein you just multiply by 2 right? Do you have any specific technical knowledge of the screen used, the transisters within, the output from the cpu, or the connection used - all of this without just spitting quotes specs that is far too common lately from internet kiddies??
I'm sure it is NOT that simple to just multiply by two and expect Sony to deliver. IF it WAS then the other thing you have to consider if product longevity of that LCD and user experience if it fails within the 1st year of use.

This is kind of deja vu. I remember when SE killed UIQ, I'd written a post on my blog on where SE screwed up and sadly, those are the same mistakes Sony is doing right now. You can read it here:
http://sonyevangelist.blogspo[....]08/10/uiq-what-went-wrong.html
The key thing is Sony or SE, when it started, was a pioneer. The likes of the K750, P series etc were driven by innovation. That 2mp camera on the 750 was stellar, well ahead of its time. Somewhere SE lost the way. It stopped being a leader. It was happy following other manufacturers, always playing catch up. And it's exactly what's plaguing Sony now.
On a sidenote, what do we know about this year's flagship?
