and no more 6-monthly refresh handsets?
does that mean the end of the other lines? i.e. we will see 3 handsets per year, no more no less? (excluding regional variants for frequency bands etc)
why would there no be 6 month refreshes? They should do as many refreshes as they can... while phone is fresh, price is high... 5-6 months later, price is much lower as something newer came out.
You will see 30 handsets per year, if Sony wants to become big like Samsung.

@ razec & RaMu
Before you open the new 2014 rumours thread, we/you should make some new rules to keep the thread clean.
It's not okay what happen here last weeks and months. Too much spam, double posting, unnecessary quotes etc...
Maybe also a mod should keep his eye on it, what we have missed in this thread...

I did check regular on this thread and noticed a lot of quotes and some double postings but when ignorance turns into trolling or spamming is hard to define.

You guys aren't the only ones who hate unnecessary quotes...*
*Disclaimer - this was a joke, it's near the end of the thread and I've always wanted to double-quote on my phone - please don't hurt me...

@supercoolman
Yes this will less the impact a lot on Z1 and give it a sustainable sales, not as before everyone knows that SONY will got a new flagship every 6 months so the rumors starts directly which affect each flagship
@Ricky D
I don't know about other lines, if even they will keep, em or not, but I know that if they will continue doing mid and low they will give them a special letter plus number as whatever 1, 2 ,3 and so on
@spw
If you take a look on the profit margins specially in the latest quarter, you will find that SONY want that always there phone prices to be high, to have always a great margins, which simply not fit enough by the old plan of 2 flagships, plus the first flagship which was suppose to cost high turn in the sexond half after the second flagship appear to be a mid level phone
...
So the plan is to have the mini of the previous year flagship in the first third of every year, the mega in the mid and the next flagship in the last third
In our example
Z Ultra sharing Z1 processor and RAM but Z body and design in June.2013
Z1 in September.2013
Z1 mini in January or February.2014
Z1 Ultra sharing Z2 processor and RAM but Z1 body and design in June.2014

Advice taken, from here I'm requesting help from hans and tranced to help with the succeeding thread and in order for it to be much cleaner and reliable. please update the main thread in the case I wouldn't be able to do so in time. I may not be able to post every infos we can get but rest assured I'll be very critical in identifying "real" scoops of information and segregate those so called "wishlists" from it. from what's happening these days at Sony(that no-more-leakage signage) XR5 infos will be alot harder to get.
@Shotokan81: I read your post at the Z1 thread and I'm considering your idea as well... hontou ni arigatou
@reeflotz: kabayan I'll see for sure that you'll be busy for the 2014 thread
, since leakage will now start to be scarce we will have to rely more on your rendering skills to give ourselves a view of what Sony is really cooking
I'm calling for every esatonians capable of PS'ing to help in the endeavor, one thing though we don't accept
wishful designs. I am considering to post the closest design we could get on the main page afterwards. take note you guys have to post your designs on a different thread(preferrably the 2014 concept thread) so we can maintain the integrity of the '14 rumors thread.
@everyone: as you could see I'm not really a community source like maia/the two unknowns/ramu and etc. so just like everyone else I would be relying alot on whatever you could share, sources who wishes to share infos but wanted to preserve their anonymity can send me a PM instead, I'll see to it that your identities will be preserved

^ Don't worry, wishful designs all go to the concept thread. I think the important info first to get a close render of a rumored device is to know what design language Sony will be using. The Z1 still pretty much looks like the Z since they share omnibalance design, difference being it having an aluminum frame.
