I don't follow all this stuff to quite the same degree as most of you, so the Z5 series look quite good to me (within the constraints of the processor available). Compact model variant if you want that, great camera, fast enough, waterproof(ish!), snazzy fingerprint sensor. Hang on. No one bothered about this ?
No fingerprint sensor in US Xperia Z5 and Z5 Compact models Seems nuts if true.

Apparently, Sony's fingerprint sensors aren't working that well. So to avoid having more problems with it, and destroying even more the little reputation they have in the US, I think they opted for just removing it. Although it's just rumors, nothing certain.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony decided to pull the plug this year.
For once I am going to be on the dark side with Ebato on this.

^^ There is no dark side. Nobody conscious will be surprised if sony close their mobile division a year from now... The uncertainty sign is there for obvious reasons from a long time ago. There is a limit for how much money they can loose and with their overall end result in mobile to be honest it is better if they close it unless they drastically change their ways but they did not change their ways until now so it is hard to believe they will. Better close it and not continue the current way. They brought this uncertainty to themselves so they might as well take responsibility and change their delusional way and if it means closing it then it is a good thing. Just don't continue this way sony.

At the moment, Sony IS the dark side of Android phones. Right now it just seems to be wiser to get a Samsung or a Nexus phone for the best performance/support.

Disagree. The Z5 Premium is the best device available on the market in its category. The Z5 Compact is the best device available on the market in its category. They are progressively getting much better and better if you ignore the Z3+ fiasco. If the competition are scrambling to bring new flagships early, its because Sony is top for the moment. Its a big risk though because unless the S7/G5 are a big step above their predecessors people will probably give it a miss and wait for Z6/iP7 before deciding. So far it seems like the S7 will look the same but the G5 seems more of a step forward, based on rumours of course. Sony should do a Z5/Z6 Ultra at MWC and some mid rangers or tablets, it would keep people interested until the September announcements. Also, if the new flagships are only a small step above the Z5 Premium around Summer, chances are that people will still go for a 4K screen at a lower price rather than the the Edge+ which will be expensive. Also, from what I have seen Marshmallow is making the Z5 much faster, that will be a big bonus even for Z3 owners too. With that in mind, I see this as a good situation for Sony and if the Z5 were to take a big price cut, I expect Sony to start recovering.

If they are to minimise there losses then I think they will move to a 12 month cycle for their flagships. I wouldn't expect to see the Z6 and Z6 Compact. Like BDM says, I'm expecting phablet.
Mind you, the Z3 Compact Tablet is due a replacement, as it is well over 12 months since it's announcement.

Doesn't mean it will be replaced, it was supposed to be replaced at IFA but it wasn't, most likely because Sony was not planning on replacing it? Perhaps the larger 10 inch version will be upgraded only for the time being.

That is an understatement.

Pardon
You honestly think they're "scrambling" to release flagships "early" becuase of Sony????
