Bad luck for Sony

Can Sony ever catch a break? With the S5 set for April 11th release in 150 countries, it seems Samsung has scored quite an advantage despite having the least interesting flagship out of MWC, Sony and HTC can't afford to have Samsung launch a flagship before them, I hope the HTC One 2014 releases sooner than the S5 then.

I wonder, are Sony having production problems with a certain component of the Z2?

Do you guys have another source for that or is it reliable?

I just hope the story of Xperia ARC won't repeat

A supplier caused this issue for Sony. Most likely Qualcomm did it. Just my guess.

@CrownedAkuma,

It got vary delays around the globe, in my region the phone got launched after 6+ months from US/Europe launch while normally it will launch in the same month or maximum next month... not just my region, Australia got it I think after 9 months of launch...

It was delayed as it's update ( ARC S ) launched after only one month of it !! as ARC S didn't have any delays....


but it was a problem with the suppliers duo to floods and natural disasters in Japan which delayed several major parts of the phone...

Oh I see... thanks
By the way I found this article http://www.lucaviscardi.eu/fu[....]rnitore-ritardi-per-galaxy-s5/ it's in italian, so maybe you'll need to use google translate
it says that one of the major factory producing part of the S5 had an accident, there was a fire and it was highly damaged (1 billion dollars of damage) and the production stopped... will it also have downsides on the distribuiton of S5? is this linked with this problem with the Z2?

@ CrownedAkuma, Yeah I saw the news this morning but didn't dig that much on it ( not interested at all )

BTW, guys who're starving for Z2 like me... it seems Sony does have wireless charging for Z2

Not a built in solution, but a cover and charging plate... I think they're using the magnetic charging port for this one...

Here is what zomg just stated:

Unconfirmed reports that the Z2 has been delayed outside of Europe because of significantly higher than expected retail and consumer orders in Europe. Waiting for confirmation, but I have it from two retail people in the UK that they have been given priority status by Sony to capitalise on the massive buzz surrounding the Z2.

It also lines up with SMC's internal goal that they want to outsell the S5 in Europe and displace Samsung as the number one Android flagship in Europe.

RoW launch will commence in the third week of May which is a six week delay.
