Is there any technical obstacle that Sony can't make a 32GB mobile with 3GB RAM ?
I don't wan't to buy NOTE #

Tablet Z2 also has stereo front facing speakers. Don't change THAT much from the Tab Z, IMO, in terms of hands placement, but...

Because there's no Z2 Tablet thread yet:
Sony’s S-Force® Surround technology gives you a powerful surround sound effect without the need for multiple stand-alone speakers. For maximum effect, this gaming tablet has four 3D surround sound speakers instead of two. And the speakers are carefully placed so that your hands don’t block the sound when holding your tablet.

Does anyone know where razec has gone? He has last updated his post on February 14th. I can't help but worry about him. He must've updated the first page if he could. I wish there's nothing wrong.

^Dunno, but he sent me a PM last January asking for an update of what he missed then because he was busy. He must be really busy, though I should also be but I find myself procrastinating all the time.

I've done a little more digging on the XZ2 and Tablet Z2's use of Sony's new display technology branded as Live Colour LED. Since displays have been a past criticism of Xperia phones, this warranted some curiosity. As always, I stand willing to be corrected by Esato's more informed posters.
Live Colour LED for Xperia appears to be reliant on technology called Phosphor-based LEDs. Phosphor LED technology is not new; in fact, it's been around for over a decade. However, Sony claim this is the first time a tablet has featured a phosphor-based LED display. This may be more than just a software solution (as currently employed in BRAVIA TVs).
Phosphor is a luminescent material that absorbs wavelengths of light and reemits the photons at different wavelengths. Most white LEDs are in fact blue LEDs with a phosphor coating. By coating LEDs with phosphors of different colours, you can emit a range of wavelengths. If several phosphor layers of distinct colours are applied, the emitted spectrum is broadened, raising the color rendering index (CRI) value of the LED as a result.
Sony uses red and green coated phosphors with the blue LEDs in the new XZ2 and Tablet Z2 to produce a wide CRI. They then layer a colour filter - perhaps based on the Triluminos software - to fine tune and avoid over-saturation.
The tricky part is this: phosphor-based LEDs produce excellent colour rendering but tend to have lower luminous efficacy due to the Stokes shift. Basically, they drain more power - not a tradeoff you want in a mobile device. Sony may have solved this problem, but how is a mystery. By combining multiple phosphors with different wavelengths from the original source, the luminous emittance can appear "brighter" due to the human eye's varying sensitivity to different wavelengths, but how you would incorporate this into a large panel that must display a wide range of colours is beyond me.
Reports out of MWC state the Tablet Z2 has a noticeably brighter and more vibrant display compared to the old Tablet Z, with some sites even reporting colour over-saturation. The question is what strain this places on battery life, if any. Note Sony increased the battery size for the XZ2, but the tablet remains the same. This may be offset by a more efficient S801 processor and other tweaks, but we'll have to wait for proper tests.
Here's where it gets interesting:
It's plausible that BRAVIA TVs employ hardware-based Triluminos technology using QDs, coupled with software-based Live Colour enhancements from a dedicated processing chip. For Xperia, Sony may be employing the opposite: software-based Triluminos colour enhancer, coupled with hardware-based Live Colour Phosphor LEDs.
This is just personal speculation though. It may be this is not even native to Sony, but actually developed by their panel suppliers such as JDI. Sony may just be the first to get their hands on it and brand it. Regardless, the days where Xperia displays were a point of contention among reviewers are hopefully gone.

^So it's QD but using phosphor?

The Xperia Z Ultra was also a noticeable step up displaywise, might this also have benefited from this tech?

Nothing technical. i think that most consumers don't seem to care much about 32 gb as standard because there is micro SD slot in some phones so they are willing to compromise and not criticize much the manufacturers about it so the manufacturers put this upgrade at the bottom of their upgrade list. i guess it also a way for them to save a bit of money.

The new tablet z sounds amazing, but too bad, I am done with arm based tablet since you can get a 128 GB surface pro 1 for 530 CAd with student pricing in Canada. Its bulky and heavy but it does runs true windows software and stream every format of HD video flawlessly which is what I really need.
