2 "flagship" devices within 4 month doesn't sound convenient. I don't believe that Sony has developed an aversion to profits which is what such a stupid timeframe suggests. We know it takes Sony at least a month from announcement to release, leading to a June/July availability of the "refreshed Z3" assuming it will be showcased sometime during May. Announcing the Z4 (bigger update) at IFA (September) would mean a 10-12 week sale period for the "Z3s". Sure there will be still people buying the older model, but the majority will go for the new updated one especially if it's a bigger update. I'm leaning towards the speculation of a May announcement of Z4 while the Compact along with an Ultra model and tablet will be announced at IFA and pushing Z5 to CES 2016 with SD820 and a new sensor.

They've obviously come around to the way of thinking that they'll launch their devices in a time frame that suits them and not at each major event that takes place.
Good to learn that the Z3 series is doing well, the Z1 / Z3 Compact was obviously a smart move by them.

There are 2 possible options:
a. The hole at the top left side that is missing a flap (or flapless if that is even possible) for the sim slot houses a second slot for the micro sd.
b. sony ditched sd slot and went for 32/64/128 gb internal storage variants.
i'm ok with either option as long as a 128gb will be available worldwide.
regarding the usb slot, notice that they are not aware of the leaks that informed of exposed waterproof usb port. it's kind of funny that they were not informed of that as they got a hold of a z4 chassis.
anyway, z4 metal frame look more premium - shinier and thinner. sony knows how to evolve design. i like that.

Indeed, no sd slot, maybe it is integrated with the sim card slot since the micro usb has been moved outside the flap and they can combine those 2, would be a tight fit but perhaps no more sd card support? Unless it got moved elsewhere on the body which is not pictured? Also appears that the method of opening the flap has changed from the the side to the edge of the flap.

If they will offer these storage options (32GB + 64GB + 128GB) or even the Apple version of it (16GB instead of 32GB)... I'm okay for removing the microSD but I still prefer it to exist, specially for the 16GB + 32GB versions..
I currently have 16GB internal + 64GB microSD, and I still have few gigs free in the microSD thought I have to do some clean up to the internal between time to time... it's always less than 1.4GB...
But looking at Sony's history, I doubt they will have these options... misers
I think they might put both in one flap, wondering if this is the case, how about Z4 dual ?
Plus: From the pictures, it seems it still uses the microUSB port, no Type-C here

So eyerything that my Korean friend told me about SD810 was right. Isn't it?
This time he gave me new information about Z4.
Z4 tablet has no big pripoblem but Z4 has big problem in heat. They plan to solve heat problem through throttling.
And the battery life(not capacity) of Z4 will be little shorter than Z3.

The one and single flap left is much bigger than the one on Z3, only explanation is mirco sd and sim are in the same slot. And 1mm reduction is thickness that makes it even thinner than Z ultra! The shiny frame match the earlier leaked Bond promo pic.
