leak also said the Z2 in the picture is for Japan with none glass back (maybe a similar cover as the previous Z1 leaks on a table?).

here everyone can see the "leaked pic":
http://www.gforgames.com/gadg[....]-xperia-z2-sirius-leaks-40064/
most people can't see digi-wo images it seems, including me. china government rules? i can't even register to that forum.
none glass is much less frigile but doesn't look as cool, but all in all, good decision. it said to be carbon fibre, i'm not a big fan of that mat, i'd prefer aluminum mat like the iphone has, but i'm sure sony will make it look premium anyway. i still hope for other metal though. the pic show only single LED, would be better if they put dual LED. let's see. also, strange display size, 5.3"? strange, if true. if it's indeed the Z2 then no way this is the only flagship in 2014. would be nice if someone can make a concept according to that pic back dimensions.

Please no carbon fibre, it screws with wireless signals, especially wifi, just ask any vaio pro13 owner, it does not bode well for reception. I'd also prefer a metal and not glass since glass can pick up too many fingerprints and can break where as a nice mat metal is stronger and leaves less fingerprints.

i SO SO SO want to see sony picking the back and front design and materials and colors of the walkman NW-ZX1 and implementing it for the Z series.
the design is stunning imo! look here:

aluminum sides and rubbery leather back. better grip, hard to scratch, no smudges, looks $$$. either that or all aluminum.

Xperia Z2 is not(Sirius), at least that is what I was told. It is another slightly upgrades Z1 just like Z1s for T-Mobile.

No, no, no! That's backwards. Carbon fiber is (mostly) an electrical insulator. It DOES NOT conduct electricity, but metal does. It is metal that interferes with cell signals. The carbon fiber phone will have much better signal, all else being equal.
I really hope Sony does not downgrade to aluminum or any metal. Poorer reception, doesn't look as good IMO, kills the ultra-premium vibe of the phones. Also, aluminum scratches much easier than the glass Sony uses.

@Wintermute
does iphone 5s and htc one users suffer from bad reception? i didn't read such complains... but if aluminum makes the antena spend more power for reception then that is indeed kind of sucks. is it true?

Well, I didn't say that aluminum always gave bad reception, just that, all else being equal, a metal phone will have worse reception. I really don't know anything about wireless engineering, but I am assuming that there are some tricks used to improve reception in metal devices. Bear in mind that the iPhone 5S has glass "windows" at the top and bottom of the phone. If they stuck the wireless radios under them, then that would mostly clear the actual antenna from the metal body (glass is RF transparent). Also bear in mind that the entire front half of almost every phone is one big glass panel, so radio frequencies can go through the front of the phone with no problem.
So, all-in-all, it's not a huge deal, but personally, I am not a fan of metal in smartphones, and the reception issue, while minor, is just one more thing that sets me against it.
