One thing I admire AIDA about.
How thick-skinned he is
No matter how we make fun of his stupid posts, he keeps posting.
Wish I had a nerve like his...

Oh dear, building up expectations yet again. MWC and IFA will be very predictable, not so much CES as there could be some non-high end mobiles there. MWC is XA and some higher mid rangers, perhaps the equivalent XZ1S device. Don't be surprised if an XZ1 with slim bezel appears or identically designed XZ1 but with a new sensor, this is what Sony do every year. IFA will have the proper flagships. All this stuff about QHD and 6GB/128GB, you know that Sony goes for less and simply optimises as much as they can plus the current 1080p LCD is fantastic so why would they change?
Questions:
- OIS or dual camera or new sensor?
- how will low light performance be improved?
- new design with same footprint and big screen or small footprint and same screen?
- will fingerprint scanner move because of the design change?
- smartwatch and bands?

What we know: the new flag will have screen to body ratio of 78-80 % plus the aperture of camera will be lower. Most likely 1.8. It will be able to do 4K 60fps and superslowmotion at FHD. OIS is very likely. the pro version is already deep in R&D and release is very likely. Improvement to camera will be significant as the source called the cam seriously impressive. The thing I don't know is that will all models share the same camera? Traditionally they do but will that change? I'm afraid I can't answer anything in regards to design and the camera sensor as I'm clueless.

I think for sony to compete in the camera race, they will need to add OIS. there's no way around it anymore. It will improve low light performance for sure. secondly, they need to do better with their algorithms. The GOLD standard is Google right now and it's only going to get better with 8.1 being rolled out and the custom chip is enabled. Their AI powered image processing is industry leading and there is simply no one that comes close.
As for bezelless, sony needs to jump on that bandwagon as well to stay relevant and popular. They have been listening to fans and delivering quick updates, fixes and features, which is great. They have also been pushing for higher hardware specs in their true flagships as well, which should continue.
I'm excited to see what sony has to offer in 2018. But I think we won't see a real flagship til IFA.

I agree. I can take awesome pics in manual mode but anything higher than 1/4 second shutter speed really needs tripod. I believe with lower F stop and OIS lowlight won't be a problem.
@Racsony
Exactly

Guys, read the link I posted yesterday.
It is about a new stabilization system for Xperia.
Name is DYNAMIC VIBRATION SYSTEM.
It is on XB too.
Sometimes my AS Mode shows the tripod icon even when it is handheld.
But it keeps high ISO anyway.
@joseph
please, tell your sources users want to set SS and ISO same time not just one.
Do you know if any of IFA phones will have LCD? OLED issues concern me.
Higher brightness kills pixels faster, where I live is very bright. Many days without clouds up there.

Hey Arch....
I remember to see this when I read the reviews.
They said you choose an ISO value or SS.
Not both same time.
You choose one, the other goes auto.
If you set ISO 100 for example, phone chooses the SS it believes it's best at the moment.
Not like on other phones ( Samsung, LG, Huawei.... )
The older phones that had 8MP SCN.
The FIREWORKS/HIGH SENSIBILITY scenes could do ISO 12800 + 1s.
I do not know if current devices can.
