Ah it wouldn't be Sony if they didn't screw something up.
no flash
no built in stylus (because device too thin)
possibly too big, it's almost as large as a nexus 7 ffs
too small battery (because device too thin)
price, at 719 euros ouch
sony should provide some kind of keyboard cover or along those lines, because this thing is huge.
It's good, but again not what it could be.

I think they did it on purpose wth reducing camera specs (800MP only, no LED flash) and not too big battery.
They promote Ultra as the BIG waterproof camera with pen-support, for big entertainment when they also introduce Triluminos and as 1st user of Snapdragon 800.
They have to hold themselves back BEFORE coming with "The best of Sony in a Camera smarthphone"
Ultra is focused on big new screen, while the Honami will be focussed on its Camera features.
I mean if Ultra also has beast camera specs, the Honami would be useless.... so I understand that you have to hold-back sometmes. not offering all your best cards but SPLIT them into different devices.
I still believe the "one Sony" will be a break-through starting with Honami

Those are not screw ups. Thin designs have compromises. When Galaxy S4 came with a steep price, you didn't complain. When Galaxy Mega 6.3 came, you cheered with it. Seriously?

RRP is 679 Euros. Actual selling price will be around 600 Euros - Same as Z launch price. So your complaint regarding price is invalid.

I wonder what more are they going to reveal in tommorrow's Germany event.
How many ZU's do you think they'll be able to sell? I guess they need to be so lucky if they ship 2+ million units.

I think that Xperia Z Ultra main selling point is the huge screen.
They have to have kept some surprises for the Paris event.
What could Sony offer in entertainment that is unique to Sony and would benefit a large screen: gaming, movies, both?
Anyway, it is normal that they do not put the best camera features, the purpose is different.
Honami and Ray3 should be more general purpose phones to compete with the iphone, and offer best cpu, best camera on a general purpose phone, best sound, fantastic screen, durable and enjoyable materials, stylish design. I do not see it as a camera centric niche device, but as a device they want to sell to the largest number. As far as the rumors go, the camera had to take compromises (no xenon) to satisfy to the thinness.
So what we miss here is a camera centric device to fill this niche and compete with Nokia EOS and to a lesser extent galaxy zoom. But there is this rumored mystery device and the description of the device Maia contact saw that does not fit the Honami rumors. It could be thicker than Honami to include a xenon flash.
I am looking forward to the camera RX announcements on the 27 as they could hint at such a device, as sony alpha rumors said.
