These pictures being posted with the bestofsony hashtag are from official sources are they not? I consider that an official preview, but I guess you could call them teasers as well.
The first batch of @bestofSony hashtags that I posted came straight from Sony's Official FB page,

Any hint on what the material is from the pics?
Too early to tell?

From all the specs, spypics and teasers I really don't see this as a killer device but as a filler between Z and what is to come next year. I'm much more excited by the lens accessories and anything else that may be coming along those lines.
@Shotokan81 - I think your original question was whether the black would be matte plastic or glossy glass, am I right? It should be glass like the white and purple. They've not used a different material for different colours on a flagship since X10.

Well, killer device maybe not but best possible specs in a thin device is a definit yes.
Battery larger than every other 5 inch smartphone, compact camera sensor (about two times the surface of every other smartphone except 1020 and 808), very nice design (no glossy plastic ^^), dual speaker not located at the back and water + dust resistance.
More or less better than every other competitor is pretty much a killer device

@Ricky D
Thanks for the confirmation, sorry i missed this part.
(I did not notice the materials on the pics from any color, was still hoping for carbon/metal)
On the Killer device thing, agreed if this is the best device it could be killer device, it depends on marketing efforts and market reception. You may mean it is an evolution, not revolution, but a revolutionary change has also lots of chances of not selling, hence fewer chances to be a killer device.
I think the internals, camera, audio, horsepower, screen, water resistance, design and material soundall good to me so far.
I can't wait for september 4th!

when do you guys predict that sony will start implementing higher quality loudspeaker or even 2 loudspeakers for stereo sound similar to the htc one in their flaship devices? maybe in the honami? reviewers are also disappointed with z and z ultra speaker, they say its really weak, one of their disadvantage, i hope sony will stop cutting corners on this.

Thats not entirely true... both the Xperia Active and xperia Go the material was different at least the textures.. On the white Active it felt just like ordinary plastic.. but on the black Active it was soft touch... the white Xperia GO felt like plastic but the black one felt like sandpaper

Honami has a better speake. Not HTC One level but decent. Speakers on a phone aren't very important, if it's loud enough for ringtones and good enough to understand the occasional YouTube video it's fine.
