Haven't visited the forum for around 2 days for assignments and tons of news came out
The 2014 flagship seems pretty good

I might hold my XZ for another year then

Whoomp! There it is.
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.
Deja vu.
Yes, nobody cares for LG, explains why they are now the 3rd largest smartphone maker, 2nd largest Android OEM and 4th largest mobile phone maker, if nobody cares for them then not a single soul cares about Samsung, yeah? Just following that incredible logic of yours.
Could you please remind me where Sony stands again?
LG seem to only really be doing well with their flagships in South Korea, elsewhere, it's only the low ends.
And since the discussion was about high ends... Updates... Hardware optimisation (the g2 seems to be getting murdered by the Z Ultra)...
Then yes. Who is LG?

i hate that shatterproof sheet. it is a fingerprint/face oil magnet. the glass itself is much more forgiving. but i won't remove it because the last time i did (my x10), i dropped my phone and the glass cracked.
I suppose you can remove the shatterproof film and replace it with a 3rd party screen protector, but in my experience, those are much thicker for one, and they are never as strongly adhered. they eventually begin to peel off with pulling it in and out of your pocket.
it sucks :/ i wish they would put a fingerprint proof/resistant coating on the shatterproof film or something.
Some people, actually a lot, who do not know that there is already a shatterproof film preinstalled on Xperia phones put screen protectors on their devices. Don't know if it would be too thick that it would affect touch sensitivity, but they don't seem to complain about it.

they mention the phone has Digital TV (like the Japanese models have)...
By their image, looks like it needs a small accessory that is connected to the headphone jack, and, by my guess, uses an app to reproduce the content...
Anyone has any info on that? I know Brazil isn't the most talked place (though we had a Honami leak), and a Sony strange place also (Xperia ZL is called Xperia ZQ, for no reason at all, and where a Vaio Pro costs R$ 6.000,00, which is around 2560 USD), but this sound really strange...
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..
Sadly, no info given on that...

One of the companies whipping the floor with Sony, no matter how much you try move the yardstick to satisfy whatever point you're trying to make.

Actually Sony is now third by the value of the smartphones sold. Sony has made more than LG in past two quarters. Last Q it was $3 billion (Sony) vs $2.4 billion (LG) so the difference is quiet clear and Yen also have weakened significantly and Sony is doing so well in Japan so if the Yen was as strong as last year the lead Sony has over LG would've been even bigger. Don't say Yen's depreciation has helped Sony; Sony makes smartphones in China and some ASEAN countries and they pay their many parts in USD so it actually hurts the Mobile division.

Excatly. LG slight slight edge is due to budget and Nexus phones. Sony might have sold slightly lesser phones, but made a larger profit.
Try to troll somewhere else.
Someone pls ban that guy.
