You are right, it is the the previously leaked code named "lavender", a new selfie midrange device. i like the direction of this design of bezeless sides and maintenance of z2 speaker/s placement. interesting. i doubt they could avoid the asymmetric top and bottom because of the front and back camera sensor size and top side placement.

Perhaps the production name for lavender would be c4 plus or c5

I hope it's "different" in a positive way.

Little bit off topic. But in my opinion what Sony should do is better build quality for current available flagship (Z3, Z3c) by developing quality management while manufacturing. And the second and most important thing boosting the software side of features for Z3/Z3c, not just for the upcoming Z4, which would be just a facelifted Z3.
What I mean.
1.
Improving camera.
Sony should add at least a manual camera mode with manual shutter speed for current flagships. If it's possible to implement a more adequate image processing and better digital image stabilisation.
Before Z3c I had Xperia V. That's true that in pitch dark Z3c beats almost every phone, but indoors for example the Xperia V did better job. With richer captured textures, better contrast, and in some situations even better details. Not to mention that Xperia ray's digital image stabilisation algorithm beats V's and Z3c's as well.
2.
Deeper integration of Xperia theme engine like in the Android 4.3-4.4 UI. The 5.0 design is a matter of taste, but I don't like that themes doesn't change many things just some accent colours. I liked how they changed the desing and backgrounds in all stock applications before 5.0. It isn't that hard to give us the freedom of choice, what I really liked in 4.3 and 4.4.
And why should Sony do this software improvements for current flagships as soon as possible? Because they sell Z3/Z3c as current flagships.
Personally I think that Sony can announce at IFA a killer device by it's specifications, but who will believe them that it would have great real life performance, judging them by current or past failures.
The software improvements cold bring good reputation for current models. It isn't irrelevant that current flagship owners or potential buyers of Z3/Z3c are satisfied with their phones or gets disenchanted and decides and advices to other people not to buy Sony.
That's why it's important to upgrade the camera software, to turn Z3/Z3c camera really good, because everyone knows that it only performs better in complete darkness, while in most of situations isn't better than any midrange model of any manufacturer. Even Sony's 2012 models perfom overall better than Z3/Z3c.
Finally I think that is a shame, that even ZTE became far more innovative than Sony even in terms of desing, camera software. And like any manufacturer, who uses Sony's sensors, it brings out the most of it, unless Sony does in it's own phones. These experiences prove more and more the presumption that Sony doesn't even want to bring good camera performance in any sense in smartphones, because they consider it would threaten their compact camera sales (which would decrease anyhow in my opinion, judging by global trends).

They tried, before few months the Sony camera business team had some influents in the mobile camera software, but sadly even Sony Digital Camera software is not good, ( both Alpha and CyberShot ) for the exact same reason: the post process engine and JPG engine

maybe they didn't want to compete with their cybershot devision. but since the market for digital compact cameras has collapsed (not talking about RX like compacts) we could see huge improvements in smartphone imaging in the future.
