Sony BETTER not make a bump. However, I'm all for an ever so slightly thicker design if it means a significant battery capacity increase.
Am I the only one that finds it ironic that Sony are the leaders of camera hardware in modern smartphones? You'd think they'd focus on the image processing on the site too...

Totally Agree, and I said that before also.. prefer slightly thicker to make the battery larger... even though the battery life in Z2 + Z2 Tablet is great.. but no body will say no to more battery life in smartphone, but I wonder how much more capacity will be gained if we increase the thickness by 1mm, and I believe a dragontrail/sapphire back sheet will make it even thinner...
We will know soon which one is better strength and cost

So what is this Z3X device? People have said there will be no ZU replacement, so what is this exactly.
The next issue, is the camera resolution, it doesn't appear to have any standard 4:3 ratio, unless the picture out is the video, and not images.

Whatever this thing above in that article is, is definable not a module that will fit into a smart phone. Regardless of what people will say, there is no way in hell a small enough motor can be made for the aperture blades that will all fit into a nice thin body like a Z2, sorry no way in hell, I do not believe it. Sony is king of miniaturization, but even this I feel is beyond their abilities, at least for the time being. That being said, this device in the above link is probably for either a point and shoot camera or for the lens cameras, QX10, possibly new model. Although it remains to be seen if Sony does upgrade the QX10/100 at IFA and release new models, or will show this sensor with lens camera as concept and release it a bit later, ie christmas.
As for the sensor itself, MX271SMK, I am sure it exists and sticking it into a smartphone will be feasible and it would make sense for some high end device to sport it but for it to ship with a f1.2 lens on a smartphone? I don't know, hard for me too believe Sony would go for such a lens, f1.8 would be a better option. Although a f1.2 lens would provide insane bokeh.
Whatever the truth or facts or rumours, the next few months should be interesting regarding imaging and sony.

With this size and f1.2 aperture it would give similar DoF as f2.5 lens on m4/3 camera and that would be truly remarkable for mobile camera.

We need a premium 8 inch Sony tablet asap lol, and it will have seriously tough competition.

I suppose I could put up with a mild hump-backed device if the optical gains were worth it - for instance a good Xenon flash.
Maybe the answer is a 'curved wedge' design, with all optics at the top of the phone and it being around 9mm thick, then tapering down towards the bottom of the phone to around 5mm, and being 5mm thick at the sides too.

I suggested a wedge design a year ago. Sony and their fascination with omnibalance...

As much as I like Sony's Omni balance design I do feel it is becoming a bit stale. If this curved sensor is to make it into a future Xperia device I would'nt mind somthing similar to the old Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo with its curved back and its camera almost smack bang in the middle at its thickest point (13mm infact) . This would then remove the need for a hump and still keep a classy, balanced design. Click the link for a view of the rear of the Neo Just incase you forgot lol.

I still love this design personally, but tidy it up and update it slightly to match current trends eg. a taller screen aspect ratio, waterproofing, glass back cover, micro-usb...
Alas, after 2 years from concept release, even the body shape may never come to be.
