like ALL samsung device, they sure know how to cut corners to maximum profit, just in a bad way that is too obvious this time around lol. (Use absolute cheapest material you can possibly find on the face of the earth). From the leaked Z2 software shots, it looks like Z2 will be rich with software features, even has some motion control that is not present in others. Only disappointment was that Sony still don't care about multi tasking. It looks like Small apps is still the same as they were. Samsung multi screen or was it from windows 8, is still a real multi task feature that every other phone should have.

I don't know if it is because everything got leaked, but I'm not that excited about these launches.
Xperia tablet z2 is definitely best android tablet so far, if I had the money, I would be looking for it.
as for the Z2 and E3 announcements, my words are: We'll wait (me and my contract
) to Compact Z2 or whatever is next, phones are getting bigger and bigger and I can't hold it anymore, I was already planning on selling my ZL because it's too big for my hands

So, What do you think will happen?
Goldenface, I'm afraid I'm not really at liberty to say with much conviction. Your guess is as good as mine.
In a purely personal capacity, in vague terms: much may depend on Sony's restructuring. No company can survive bleeding finances for long (zombie companies aside). Sony have stepped up in recent months and the sell-off of non-core divisions such as VAIO was necessary, if not painful. I'm unconvinced that Bravia is the next to go. R&D for VAIO stopped last year but it continues in Bravia. 4K may be the last bastille as margins are much higher, but that too will erode.
Other divisions are brighter. FS remains their cashcow. Playstation is running ahead of estimates but the gaming division is not the ATM it once was. Questions hang over whether Sony can sustain the momentum. Imaging continues to impress, even if consumer sales don't. The positive outlook lies with Sony's B2B sensors. They hold a commanding position in the $7.7 billion market for sensors; over 30% market share. The nearest competitor holds half that. About 80% of sensors Sony makes are found outside Xperia.
Kaz has good vision but execution is always harder than generating ideas. Sony is akin to an oil tanker, not a hovercraft. Jettisoning cargo hardly helps turn the ship faster, so it is a question of time. Marketing and R&D budgets have increased the past year (which is a good sign), but they still pale in comparison to the multi-billions that Samsung spends. Some call Samsung the biggest marketing company in the world, not just electronics.
As for Xperia specifically: I'm concerned by lack of clarity and fast-rising rivals. Sony stated last year they would focus on mid and high-end smartphones, yet Kaz set a goal of being the 3rd largest phone maker. Even Apple concluded that they can't focus on high-margin flagships alone. Xperia sales did increase last year, but rivals are growing faster.
It's not the Koreans that pose the biggest danger to Sony; it's the Chinese. Huawei and Xiaomi are defying gravity with their "good enough" strategy of decent but affordable phones. They have ambition to move into foreign markets and are pushing hard into high-end products. Xperia designs have always been lauded, but the Chinese are not afraid to rapidly copy a winning design and sell it for half the price.
Sony knows they can't compete on specs alone and content will probably play an increasingly important role. Rapid updates of Xperia phones may help Sony stay one step ahead on paper temporarily, but it is not a sustainable strategy due to development costs and lack of economies of scale.

Bravia line is quite important, atlaest their R&D are or we wouldn't have the awesome triliminos screen. W900 is amazing. Sony just need to find a away so they just have to break even and keep them around.

According to local technology site...
Xperia Z2, Tablet Z2 & Xperia M2 will all be available in the area in April
Local prices are
Xperia Z2 : BD269 ($715)
Xperia Tablet Z2 : BD249 ($660)
Xperia M2 : BD230 ($610)
While the first two seems logical, the M2 I think it's a typo...

S5 looks like s4 which looked like S3, nothing special about design. Depending on what you value the most, it has IP67 vs IP58, so more dust protection, slightly less water protection. Minor difference.
I am curious how big the sensor on the S5 is, I am wondering how the addition of hybrid autofocus will affect the camera, sony used it on the new alpha6000 and claim it to be the best autofocusing camera on the market.
I seriously hope the Z2 features migrate over to the Z1, at least the bulk of them, which can move over, otherwise I may wait for the Z3 and see if that is worth it if not then I'll grab the z2 at a discount then.

So much for the 64-bit 500 core Galaxy S5
Like i said, we wont see any high end 64 bit chips until late 2014 from any Android OEM.
