^ could they even be early prototypes ?. The design could change right upto the full announcement. I find it strage that they don't seem to carry over the stereo speakers of the Z2 but again these could be an early design/prototype.

I hope so! To be honest, this design really reminds me of an iPhone......

In the leaked wild shots...
The arc was considered ugly.
The Xperia S was considered ugly.
The Xperia T was considered ugly.
The Xperia Z was considered ugly.
All turned out to have amazing designs...
Here we go again...

I'm liking this front design and it is surely a step forward. sony listened to the loud criticism of "big bezels" and shortened the side bezels. good move! the bezels look shorter even then g3's. this means a better phone grip. i almost imagined this exact design after reading the rumors. rumors: "7mm thickness with slim bezels" = in other words predictably meaning small side bezels, big top and bottom bezels which are a must because the design is thin and you need space for the camera sensor, etc. no miracles here. actually this design is a miracle. 7 mm with top of the line internals, quite amazing if you ask me.
to speak against the design, i also imagined the sides to be a bit more curved as the rumor said but i guess the curving are positioned more in the back of the devices like with t3. it wouldn't bother me much thuogh.
bottom line: it's not possible to have the whole cake, there is a price for 7mm profile and small side bezels. anyway, overall a better design then z2 for sure imo. also it's just the front design. by knowing the past, this design is surely final. let's see how the rumored coating (and glass? metal?) back look like.
the stereo speakers are there, they are just positioned at the center of each bezel as the pics reveal...

Doesn't look like Z3!
Leave aside the huge bezels, the screen itself is TOO BIG to be 5.2"
I would rate the screen anywhere between 5.5" to 6.0" .
So which one is Z3 in this pic ?
- IMO the smaller one is Z3( perfectly fits the image of 5.2" screen with much smaller bezels )

According to @Latter21 the person who posted those images originally at Digi-wo, He actually said the left device is Xperia Z3 in white color and on the right is Xperia Z3 Compact ..
In spite of the design it seams like Xperia T3 clone with better specification honestly, for me Sony going crazy about considering thin thickness and ignoring reasonable dimensions specially with the height in top & bottom bazel ..

How does top and bottom bezel affect usability? Wouldn't that mostly be affected by side bezels?
Additionally, the space is needed for internals. Where do you think the dial front firing speakers, or cameras or sensors go? Engineering at a size like this is all about compromise. As technophiles, you should understand this much at the very least.
I won't comment, until I see a proper, non-prototypical devices, which aren't just for testing purposes.

They made the size bezels look great. However, they screwed up having to move the rest of the stuff to the top and bottom, creating those huge ass bezels. They kinda kept the same area, just changed where it is bugger. IF that's the base of the final design, you might have lost a consumer, Sony.
And, IMO, it looks awful. If it wasn't for the speaker on the bottom, I would say it was the rumored IPhone 6 with 5.5 inch display. And, for the one who said the Arc, S, T, Z, Z1 looked bad in the leaked images, I disagree. I liked the S, Z and Z1 designs on those leaks. I never liked the Xperia T, and I wasn't here when the Arc was still being leaked...
And. Btw, I know it needs space for camera, sensors, speakers, etc. But the Z2 has all that stuff, a supposely bigger sensor than the Z3, and has much less top/bottom bezels than that, albeit the little bigger side bezels...

I just don't get it!
Why can't you guys just leave aside the bezels and rather concentrate on the screen size ?
From where does that screen look like a 5.2" ?
If the earlier leaked specs by sources here were correct than it's not Z3.
Just look at a similarly sized pic of Z2 and compare that with this pic

I kinda like the design of the Z3 Compact.
BTW: Because of the contrast between black display and white body the display of the Z3 looks bigger as it really is.

Z3 looks boring seriously Sony what has happened to you, I guess we cant expect anything better from you anymore in design wise following Apple route with same boring design. On the other hand Z3c looks much better.
