Guys, don't want to create false rumors here, but devices with QHD screens might be coming to the Sony's lineup of Android devices really soon.

Just saw that in the latest version of the Xperia keyboard app that is redistributed via Google Play (released on 17th of June), they have added an icon graphic file created specifically for the QHD screen resolution.

This could mean nothing, but what's the point of doing it, if it's for nothing?
This might very well be a 7" or 10" tablet that they are going to introduce and not a phone of course

As some of you know, in my opinion QHD is worthless even for a 7" screen, but Sony, Samsung, LG, etc don't share my opinion

^ with the possibilty of a smaller Xperia tablet hitting the rumor mill JDI do have a 8.9-inch 2560 × 1600 WQXGA with 339ppi LTPS display at their disposal if Sony are planning to release such a device wonder what the chances it could have this display?

How else will they make you buy a new handset?

Hardware progress is slowing down, camera developments have stood still or gone backwards since android came along, design is getting pretty samey from EVER manufacturer due to the inflexibility of designing a large touch screen that's still pocketable.

For the first time in a long time I've not really felt the need to go upgrade for over a year and I might not until Q1 2015 depending on what comes 2H year.

So basically you are saying that when Sony had waterproof phones with a removable battery they had them because it was useful for them and helped them to differentiate from others. Now they aren't doing it anymore because they don't need it and became greedier and people will buy their phones anyway and don't care?


But why is Samsung doing it? Because they are nicer?! Or did they realize that this could be a deciding factor in terms of longevity and increase their sales?

If this would be the case, wouldn't it make sense for Sony to reintroduce the removable battery and thus also strengthen their sales and be on par with Samsung?

I tend to use my phones for quite a while, longer than two years and I'm already worried about the battery life in 1-2 years. I won't change the battery myself because of the waterproofing, I'll need an expert for this.

If Samsung wouldn't be Samsung and I wouldn't hate their "design", the low RAM on the S5, the missing wireless charging and thus wear and tear and shortened phone life because of the USB cover and everything else they stand for, I would consider the phone just because it has a removable battery and Sony doesn't!

I'm happy with the Z1, especially since the 120fps and 4k mod. I don't wanna and I don't see the point of upgrading, if not for the battery life in the future... See, that's were they might catch me and that's why they are doing it and I hate that!

When my warranty draws to its close and my battery is weak, I may have to use it to get a new battery replaced for free and get at least another two years out of the phone.

Thank you

All this makes me wonder: when is that reported 5" full HD JDI WRGB screen launched on a Xperia? The Xperia P deserves a worthy successor!

@drsoran2

I was half joking. It is useful to them for a number of reasons, the forced expiry of a device's usefulness is a small part of it.

The rest is design reasons. To have a removable cover takes more space for clips, rubber sealing, somewhere that the user can get a fingernail under it etc. This doesn't fit the current design philosophies which only need a 0.2mm thick double sided sticky piece to seal the handset and the rest of the space can be for things like a bigger battery or a slimmer profile.

Another design reason is that batteries that are removable require more internal hardware in the way of sprung contacts, battery housing and something to separate it from the rest of the electronics so they aren't all exposed. A fixed battery and sealed case needs none of this and so can be thinner or have extra space for say a dedicated DSP chip or image processing chip.

It's not ALL about greed, that's just a happy side effect.
