Shouldn't the sd805 be available around the same time as tk1 (a15 quad)? And isn't that in at least a few months?
The s805 is the result of Qualcomm destroying the competition thanks to ARM's a15 fail, and then becoming arrogant and falling asleep. Nvidia, Samsung and Apple are all leaving them behind this year.
But it doesn't matter when it comes to Apple - no one else uses their chips. Nor when it comes to Samsung, even their tab 10.1 (2014 edition) severely lags, so the real life usage advancement will be minimal. And I doubt they have the capacity to fulfill both themselves and Apple.
Qualcomm's sheer luck means they'll get many major design wins again. Less than last year, but still, quite a few.
The real question is the speed of the a15 K1 chips in phones, their thermal efficiency etc. I'm just clinging onto hope I guess.
How can Qualcomm go from hero to zero in 6 months??? Shameful.
HTC and Sony's dependence on Qualcomm will hurt them a lot this year...

wish they can offer trade in prioblem for z1 lol, I believe the size is a bit bigger, bezel doesn't seems improved, just screen gotten bigger.
Yes the bezels are not that better (which as I already stated is not a big problem for me) at least this time is justified by the 5,2" screen AND the stereo speaker! Now the Bezels really means something
Still the omnibalance line is awesome
I don't have problem with the thinner side bezel, I actually like them because I have big hands, my thumbs and fingers will never cover the screen when I hold them unlike phones with thin bezel, but the thick bezel on top and bottom are the problems. I don't think they can reduce it because they have to fit the camera on the top side with nothing behind or they have to make it thicker due to the G lens. They also have to keep the omni balance design to make things symmetrical which I respect because one of the best thing about sony is design + engineering, unlike many companies that just slap everything together and call it finished. Only way to reduce size of the phone is probably the change in material. Like the trim around sirius is thinner than z1 it seems. Sirius looks like it might be getting even closer to note 3 size now, I rather they keep the 5" screen and goes other way to reduce the size like thinner trims around the phone.

S805 was 'expected 2H' which is most likely a hedge. It comes down to real world benchmarks (:P).. but yea again, its been quite a few years since the perception this early on in the year of the door being open to anyone. i dont know what the other companies are ACTUALLY planning. Just rumors against the S805 announcement.. which was well beneath what the market was predicting off of the back of Samsung and TSMC with respect to the A7 which is a 2013 chip. So *shrug* storm in a teacup.. we will observe.. GPUs all over the place, Modems (integrated vs discrete), CPUs all over the place.. and no way for the end user to choose their own combination.. that fits their needs.
Also I stated that there were stereo speakers a few pages back, great to see

^ Yeah I noticed that you mentioned stereo speakers, my wildest dreams came true

which it basically is, lots of the new stuffs seems to be software base
Stereo speakers and glove mode is hardware related. And it remains to be questioned if 4K and Slow Motion are just software or require some hardware changes like the faster/higher clocked GPU.
Nevertheless I didn't expect this, did you?
Big lol @Antutu

The way I see it, never have MWC devices had such relatively poor chips...

I really like everything that has been leaked now. But I have never read anything about new camera software that aims to improve the shots taken by the phone? Any info about that? This is the only problem I have right now with Sony as the photo taken by Z1 could be better.

I'm pretty sure this PIC wasn't there the last time I read this article...
Awesome features

Am I the only one bothered with that fugly battery icon? I mean, the old ones and the white one shown in the LifeLog video is perfect (same as the one we have, except for being completely white)

Im not trying to start a fanboy war here but since I am a neutral with brands (except Apple). I point out Samsung as I can only assume Sony is gunning for them in the market (clearly going to take time)...
Its good to see Sony implementing more software/apps that are actually 'useful'. Take note, Samsung. I lost count as to how many things are on the, s4 as an example, that I would never even think of using (or dont work consistantly. I put my Sammy smart tv in the same category!). Im talking about the air gestures, smartview etc, which I found almost useless when using the s4. I know Sony have introduced a couple here, and they are guilty (like all manufacturers), of having some crap apps, but I find sony generally have more PRACTICAL software onboard, especially with the new things like double tap to wake coming.
