Yes, I'm talking about those
I do have the ZL and S versions, and if I could, I would totally just upgrade my Xperia S and keep the design, although I find the Z versions (specially the Z and Z2 versions) beautiful, I think it's time to an upgrade in terms of design.I'd like to see some integration with the NXT and Omnibalance design, a little bit more worked then the SP. As far as the old models go, its the X10 that draw my attention to Sony, and I still find it beautiful, regardless the huge bezels. I had the Xperia Arc too, and everytime I looked to it, it remembered me of Elvis since the top bezel was so huge.
And there was no "save preferences" at the bottom of the preferences settings page :C
Edit: nervemind, I was going to the wrong page
finally got it, thanks!

I'm going to plant my flag firmly in the came who believes that device is not the Z3, but some regional variant of the Z2, or something like that.
I know I'm likely setting myself up for disappointment (well not really since I wasn't planning to get the Z3 anyways), but I suppose I was just hopeful that Sony would continue the trend of following up on feedback from consumers and do something more special than what we're seeing. While I don't personally mind larger bezels, it's one of the major gripes people have with the Z series of phones so far. Not to mention unless the phone has a great oleophobic coating, it'll be a fingerprint magnet again.
At least with the more rounded design it'll feel better in the hand. I would just hope that there'd be something MORE to the Z3 than what we've learned so far. Built-in wireless charging would be a great start to justifying the phones existance. Maybe larger internal storage capacities finally? Don't really see any sign of an IR blaster, so that's out - at least on the pictured device.
So anyone else going to join me in the NotZ3! Camp?

Your theory sound good, but why would they change it at that point to be just a regional variant of the Z2? You could say Verizon, but I think there would be a big ass Verizon logo on it. Plus, we already have seen images of the possible Z2 Verizon, which is basically the same, except for the logo.
Also, the actual regional variants we have out there are the Japanese ones (they kinda don't count), Chinese (slight port location moved, plus plastic borders) and Brazillian (Digital TV (1 seg) is basically the only difference). I mean, the images we have seen show a MUCH bigger change compared to those. Why waste precious resources on that? I want a resonable explanation from Sony if that comes up as regional variant.
Again, I think it is the best theory, and the one I want to belive, because it is the least worst. Anyway, I'm not even sure why I'm complaining like that. My next phone will be an OnePlus One, and that won't change for around another 2 years, give or take. Tablet? My Tablet Z will have to stay good for another 1.5 years, at least. Maybe I just want Sony to succeed?
Anyway, let's talk about Software: Do you think Sony will apply their whole idea of what's the best over Android L or they will step back and do smaller UI modifications, and focus on added functionality, better performance and battery life?

That kind of design is years away. It's like with car concepts, MB, BMW etc show you a concept at a show, and you love it, but then you see the production model and it's the same old shit that looks nothing like the original idea

Its still possible that the leaks are of a previous prototype or an Asian variant (denoted by an L5x ID, rather than a D6xxx). However, I'm not holding out too much hope.
The idea of a design which looks like one solid block of glass sounds extremely awesome though. Shame that it wasn't possible for the Z3. Maybe next time.

the pic that I posted is from a Sony Bravia XBR10
here all encased in glass and that was manufactured in 2009, they've been taking cues from their TV's design before and even those past leaks from the supposed Z3 remind me the edge of a Sony HX855
here that was released in 2012 if I recall correctly

All glass design seems interesting, sadly I would not call practical unless it has some very strong protecting features, I'm not talking about tempered glass or gorilla or dragon-trail... Apple's move to Sapphire Glass seems the solution for such a design...
But I think I saw something about a patent regarding using sapphire glass in a phone...
EDIT :
NM,
Apple Reveals Radical All-Glass iPhone Design In Patent Filing (‘Fused glass device housings’)
heck, the patent says a 'device' rather than a mobile phone or mobile device.. so it could be anything from iPhone to iMac...
The patent is new, very new... only less than a week old ( 8 July 2014 )... but If Sony already made some devices with that concept before, they're in the safe side... thought Apple never sued Sony before ( they have some respect to each other + Sony has a hell of patents to sue Apple
)
But if any one of these companies started the trend of a mobile device, then the other might be in a hard situation to do the same.. every body will say the second is copying the first.. even if Sony made the first actual product years ago...
I know I know, there was some rumours that Bill Gates fall in love with Sony designs that he evens tried to have Sony built Mac OS X laptops.. but Sony didn't seems to be interested at that time... if Apple will license Mac OS X or iOS to Sony, a lot of peoples will choose Sony because they're more free regarding spec. than Apple... unless Apple made very large restrictions in design and features.. but I think Apple is very very far away from licensing to any other maker... they want all the profit to them selfs
