I personally believe this very near final design, at first glance it may look just another Z1/Z2 but carefully closer look the design again you'll see new design of full alloy round body-frame no rubber inserted aside anymore instead of flat design from previous two, also small cut on each corner what is that?
I really hope for fine metal cut but that dual front speakers could not finish something like that, just NOOOOOOOO. Z2's speakers is lot much better.
New design rumors could be this improved form of Omni Balance, not a major overhaul?

You are correct.

This is far from what I imagined of a completely new design for Z3 as what had been claimed by those with connections from inside. It kinda looks like they just added a rubber case to a Z2.

I don't see any surprise in that size comparison considering sony's design language and the rumors. z4 may be even taller in dimensions then note 3 assuming it will most likely carry 5.5" QHD display, unless sony change their design language entirely and build fat phone with all slim bezels (top, bottom, sides) like g3.
I know the flagships are increasing in size like the Z series of Sony, but I never realized how close they are now to what many people considered two years ago as "ridiculously too big" aka the first Note.

Still just the frame with two glass panels sandwiched, something apple did with... iphone 4... in 2010! Until they do full metal body like HTC or apple, it's still the same shitty thing

I would be disappointing if the rumoured "new design" was just repositioning of the front firing speakers (which may actually produce better quality sound), and making the edges rounder.
Not really a "new design" as opposed to a refinement.

when did we start to care quality from phone speaker(s), who start the sh!tty trend totally lame.
@Ebato
I may not write that clear enough, but I didn't mean full body just a full alloy frame (somehow led to think of Xperia ion's day) that no rubber inserted.

No more shitty than the core-counting and clock-speed counting and pixel-counting trends that seem to be floating around. A good set of speakers is another pro to add to a list.

Yes, but nobody sees that. What we have here is an aluminium frame and another glass sandwich.
Obviously a flat body maximises space-efficiency, but its not exactly what we expect when people have been claiming "completely new design".

If this is new design, someone definitively missed the common sense of new.
I was hoping for some new, beautiful (something like maia's prototype that we saw last year) mixing NXT and Omnibalance design, I guess Sony is just following the trend doing minimal changes to the design every year, just as Apple, HTC, Samsung..
Guess I'll just save me some money and get the Z1 Compact (for those interest, is listed 350US$ today on ebay) or I'll try to sell my ZL to someone in Brazil and then buy Z1C or even the iPhone 5s
Anyway.. little bit offtopic, but I can't seem to be able to change my cellphone icon in my profile here on Esato, I've been trying since I registered, but I don't find any "save changes" icon when I change my cellphone, can please someone help me?

to be honest i am so disappointed by this design and as everything is clear now about the Z3 i told those words before to randomuser but i was afraid to post them, i don't want to repeat my mistakes, but there was a real new design language make the phone appear as if it's one glass block with ZL front design
thanks God i didn't post it in the past but as everything is clear now regards the Z3, this was one of the designs

If the one you're talking about is the design with those trapezoidal stereo speakers with LED lighting surrounding it and a big ass camera at the back, I have to say it ain't even near beautiful. And the NXT design with those LED strips, really did not find it attractive. It's unique and that may had made it appealing, but not really beautiful. I say the Omnibalance design is their best, just got a bit boring when they started implementing it on every phone. Plus it's been more than a year anyway. I also like the Arc, Ray and the unfortunate SX.
Oh, and did you click "save preferences" at the bottom of the preferences settings page?
