I expect the Z3 family on IFA. The Z3, Z3 Compact, Z3 Ultra and the Z3 Tablet.
I seriously hope sony doesn't launch the z3 tab at ifa, would be a waste of resources.
I'm more interested how the new ultra will look one it arrives, same size or smaller? I really hope they remedy the no flash problem.

I'd be surprised if the next Ultra didn't come with a flash. It's almost eerie how Sony has addressed almost every major criticism of its phones. I'm sure that whoever noticed that users didn't like the Z1's display and bezels also noticed that people were shitting their pants over the ZU not having a flash.

the ultra should be converted into sony's mini tablet line. it didn't sell and it won't sell in its current form. sony should just produce 7-inchers and call them the ultra line. it's hopeless competing with the Note series. samsung fanboys will only brag that sony is riding on the bandwagon. sony has no 7-incher tablet line yet so the ultra should cover that.

Ultra should definitely not become a tablet line. It SHOULD compete with the note series. It should become smaller, 5.9". It should be thicker with a much bigger battery, and have good input software with apps for productivity.

The ultra can be successful ONLY if sony make it as second flagship with all the bells and whistles - like they did with the compact and like samsung and lg are doing. it actually should be better specced then the z2. they might as well stop ultra series if they won't do so. also they need to keep the ultra pocketable - another important thing for it success - definitely not go for 7 inch. they could make smaller version of the z tablet - z tablet mini, but that doesn't and shouldn't cancel the ultra series.

The difference in preference between Omnibalance and another design style (like Arc) is the precise reason Sony should run both side by side. I don't think it is confusing to the customer so long as the size categories are clear. It just adds a style option.
First one would choose the size 4+ inch, 5+ inch, 6+ inch or 10 inch, second, choose a style Omnibalance or Arc.
If the spec is the same throughout the full range then you know whatever size you get you'll be getting the best available and so have removed that part of the confusion.
One easily forgets that the average user goes into a phone shop and first picks with their eyes i.e. the best looking phone in sight, before a sales person comes and says "this one over here is the same but waterproof" or "this one has a better camera". Having two striking design in a world of samey samey looking phones has to be a plus right?

Noooo, don't go smaller screen on the Ultra
If it was inevitable then I guess not below 6 inches, then it should still be okay.
I for one love that big a*s screen it has, really enjoy-ing watching episodes and playing games on it.
As for the camera update, I'd be pleased if they at least port the Xperia Z camera to it, with the flash ofc, so I can forgive them on the compromise for having an ultra = worse camera because maybe...the successor will be a very slim device too???

@Ricky D
I understand your logic and i agree that 2 striking designs can be worth trying but only if sony will change their strategy for one flagship per year, otherwise it looses to lack of recognition and anticipation for a new design, etc. like i wrote before my opinion. a new phone needs to be special, not "another new day, another new phone". or "another new day, another new design".

I heard rumours of Sony upgrading the Z3 sensor from 1/2.3 to 1/2 or something. Is this true? Or is that still in prototype phase due for 2015?
Are there any other rumours related to cameras, such as including some level of 2 or even 3 axis Optical, or sensor-shift image stabilisation?
Also anything about autofocus? Cause my Z1 compact has a horrible time focusing, even in bright, or medium light....let's not even talk about low-light....
Are there rumours of phase-detect, or hybrid autofocus tech included in the upgraded sensor?
If so, might get the Z3 compact....

What about introducing a new design while mantaining the two flagship for year philosophy but with alternative design?
i.e.
First half of the year releasing the Z line flagship, with omnibalance design
Second half of the year releasing a new line (for example the X line) with a new design (for example the rumored GlassArc)...
At the beginning it would surely be confusing, no doubt. But this could also mean the the momentum and the buzz nefore every device would be bigger, because every device in a different design line would come out after a whole year. it would also mean MORE time to work on every single device, because you could have a little team always focused on a single line and also the jump between the every device in a different line would be bigger in terms of technology. This could also permits Sony to mantain the correct numeration between Tablet and Flagship (i.e. launching Xperia Z3 and Tablet Z3 at MWC 2015) instead of jumping a number as they did this year (NO Xperia Tablet Z1)... So it would be like this...
IFA 2014 Xperia X + Z2 compact and ZUltra 2
MWC 2015 Xperia Z3 + Tablet Z3 + Xperia X compact?
IFA 2015 Xperia X2 + Z3 compact and ZUltra 3...
and so on....
