Hmm, interesting if true/real. Wonder what the source of the story is, regardless, model numbers seem to line up with previous years 1H model numbers. Specs are nothing surprising, still missing battery capacity and storage. Also anyone know if the image mentions anything about USB? The G5 will have type C, it is apparent in the leaks, S7 is also rumoured to have it. If I end up buying a new XPS 15, I may skip the sony if it doesn't ship with usb type c.
It would be a shame if the device would basically be a Z5 with new internals.

Z5 is about to launch in U.S. Can't imagine to showcase the Z6 at MWC. More likely is May/June

It will more than likely be released soon after MWC / late March at the very latest.

It's sad to see Sony staying on the current sensor for the Z6. We are hearing a lot of news about new sensor that will end up in S7 (f/1.7 lens), and Sony staying on the f/2.0 lens, G5 is expecting to have awesome camera as well.
Also i doubt Sony will improve the camera quiality over the Z5 series which is not the best out there, but i hope they will at least fix the blurry corners.
Also we are hearing that iPhone 7 Plus will even have an optical zoom with 2 cameras.
Sony needs something spectacular to fight with others.

Don't think we'll see the Z6 at MWC.
Little faith in Sony anyway, they've proved time and time again why you should have little faith lol.
But yes S7 camera sounding a killer.

Current sensor is still new and really good, even Samsung was impressed by it. What Sony needs to work on are optics quality and image processing. Optical image stabilization would help quite a lot as well.

The samsung thing was only a rumour.
One I don't think was that true and I think If it was they were probably more "impressed" by the auto focus stuff.
I think its clear Samsung aren't interested in joining the MP race.
IIRC the 12MP rumour existed before the whole Sony 23MP sensor one did.
Even HTC are now going for 12mp with their HTC M10

HTC's ultrapixel camera has never been that stellar.
There is nothing wrong with Sony's 23MP sensor, they need to improve their optics and compression.

i'm pretty sure sony can catch rx100's low light quality with bigger sensor and less megapixel(10-12 mp - 1/1,6 inch sensor) but problem is while they asking 1000 $ for the device how they can release a phone which is cheaper then compact camera
i really hope samsung will bring some serious competition about low light capabilities
it's almost comfirmed their cam is 12 mp with f1.7 lens.
http://www.cctv-information.c[....]ht_Transmission_Through_Lenses
there is numbers difference between stops. f1.7 has capture more light %40 then f2.0 lens...
combine with bigger pixels then probably s7 will capture 2x more light(maybe even more depend on sensor size) then z5's sensor , and with ois forces less iso it's overkill there will be no competetion.
