I thought Sony has changed its strategy, no more H1/H2 flagships, only one device per year.... or not?

Cheers,

No, H265 (or HEVC) is a codec that is computationally very hard. The Snapdragon 800 would not be able to handle real-time encoding of 4K video in HEVC, and playback would be hard too.

If 4K is still in the final product it'll be in H264 (since that's the best Snapdragon 800 can encode on the hardware side). Highest possible bitrate: 120Mbps, which gives you files of around 800MB-900MB per minute.

There is simply not much point to Sony putting 4K recording in a phone just yet, and they might as well keep it 'till 2014 as an extra sales point then. There are very few people with a 4K TV and there is so little point to 4K for anyone without a 4K TV it just doesn't make sense yet.

But I've seen the software, it's there and was working at one point. Even if it's not in the final ROM I'm pretty sure we can have someone at XDA port it over from the system dump.

@Ambroos; thanks for clarification.

Would anyone know if micro sd card with 32GB would slow down the phone?

It depends on the type of card. A class 10 UHS-1 memory card won't slow down your phone

@XperiaCute

Ambroos was only talking about H.265. Snapdragon 800 can playback H.264 4K content easily

The difference this time round is that the first half flagship will have leading, or at least matching specs at the same time as others. Remember the days we used to say Sony squeezes the most out of its hardware, so if it had up to date specs, it would wipe the competition away? Well, the time has come. Everyone could see it would because the Z was pretty much up there, but this even a hater like you could see.

Coupled with better compression, and hopefully larger rom, what else did we ask for?

One thing I asked for was one flagship year, but I suppose more options will never hurt as long as they are supported and marketed, and XB seems to have been spammed with update info these past few months, so I think they are supported, and the Z was marketed, so I really do think it's okay.

2 flagships a year still won't come close to emphasising one a year. I think one killer one after the s5 would have the best effect, but spamsung would soon release another it seems. No one cares about lg. They do about HTC, but they're the next Nokia.

It will be a nice feature for sure! Is Brazil's digital tv broadcasting systems PAL or NTSC?
In theory if the tuner bandwidth range and the system is the same, you should be able to watch tv on your device. You can with many Japanese mobile devices.
UP until recently, most Japanese devices you could watch TV with were all one-seg tuners(using 1/13th of bandwith to receive LQ broadcast), but now, even the tablet Z (from Docomo, not the wi-fi version) can show TV in full segment digital tv. And to answer your question, no, separate attachments aren't strictly necessary. Some have pull-out antennas built in for better reception.

Since Z ultra will be coming out in Japan (with a carrier called au) it could be a shared model? It is also possible that it will come with an IR blaster as well..
