I wouldn't expect the Ultra line to get a 6-monthly update, the market for the over-sized devices is much smaller and doesn't warrant such a frequent refresh cycle.
I'm also not sure the 6-monthly refreshes will get a full integer upgrade in the naming scheme. I know you're not suggesting those as the names necessarily, but it would make most sense to have everything in 2014 be numbered with the same number. Saying that, it's been a while since the naming conventions at Sony Mobile made any sense.
About the ultra, yes, can also make sense. You are saying that maybe the ultra will be updated every calendar year. Maybe sony doesn't want to sell a lot of ultra devices. It seems like they want to make a huge display just for the sake of being unique. They don't care that most people will buy a tablet for big screen when they want to use it and keep their smartphone in their pocket all the time then buy the over sized ultra and be "punished" to carry a bag all the time. Most people also don't wear jackets all the year, some don't wear jackets at all, hehe. To sony i think, the Z1 also takes the phablet place because it's not far from the note 3 size.
They should just shrink the ultra display to 6 inch imo which is the new phablet standard display size (lumina 1520, htc one max) and by that it will maybe still be able to be carried in pants pocket.

I think it's quite sensible to expect Xperia Tablet "Z1 "on Q1 2014, here's hoping it would carry all the specs unique to ZU (especially the pencil input tech)

DIGITIMES [Monday 21 October 2013]
Korea- and China-based TV vendors are looking to cooperate with QD Vision, a maker of quantum dot technology, to develop Ultra HD TV products in 2014.
QD Vision's quantum dot technology has so far only been used in Sony TV products based off agreements between the two companies. However, a one-year contract between the two sides stating that QD Vision would give exclusive rights to the technology to Sony came to an end in third-quarter 2013, which has begun to spur the attention of TV vendors throughout Asia.
The vendors are looking to cooperate with QD Vision to develop Ultra HD TV panels with NTSC 100% and above set to be released in 2014. Currently most of Sony's Ultra HD TV models are equipped with NTSC 90% and above and have been well received in the market.
Despite other vendors looking to cooperate with QD Vision, Sony still plans to maintain strong relations with QD Vision and also plans to release more Ultra HD TVs in 2014 with NTSC 100% and above specifications.
Market observers meanwhile said that OLED TVs have NTSC 125% and above but still have high material costs, making it difficult for the technology to compete in the market.
Sony to no longer be only Ultra HD TV vendor featuring QD Vision quantum dot technology.
how will Sony differentiate its future flagship smartphone screen from others? Will they use Triluminous and Whitemagic together, or ntsc 100%,or ...?

^Triluminos is what they used QD for. And since Sony started it, it can only be improved by others and also Sony until a new tech comes around.

Xperia Z1S is most likely an upgraded Z1 and should come withe the 8974AB SoC. It is like an iPhone 5 to 5S upgrade or an Xperia Arc to Arc S upgrade.

My sensible 2014 announcements prediction for the high end devices:
January CES: Z1 Ultra, Tablet Z1
February MWC: Z2
somewhere between: Z2 mini
July: Z2 Ultra
September IFA: Z3
somewhere after: Z3 mini
It makes the most sense to me. What are your thoughts?

@xperiacute
then you mostly agree with me.
they got to save the Z2 for MWC, the best for last.
and they barely just releasing Z1 in the world, CES would be too early for Z2.

Both are S800 SoC but the 8974AB is clocked higher.
MSM8974: Adreno 330 @ 450Mhz and dual channel LPDDR3 @ 800Mhz
MSM8974AB: Adreno 330 @ 550Mhz and dual channel LPDDR3 @ 933Mhz
At CES Qualcomm will announce the next generation SoC which will be based on 20nm or maybe even 14nm tech.
Higher clock speed, less power consumption and most likely other improvements as well.
