Instead of ask chipset maker to develop a unique one, which would cost truck load of money that mobile division don't have right now. If possible I would love to see them to invest in Ericsson LTE modem tech and patent in order use to develop their own custom chip with LTE connectivity.

I guess, Sony would stick with Q for next year and maybe two before considering better options as I my idea above, they don't want to risk and learn to optimization another new chipset. About MediaTek I read that quoted it as outsource development, ODM device with Sony's skin UI.

As for matter of now, Q is good for today device. 64 bit chipset is something to watch out but not game changer until Android and Google fledged it fully supported in latter half of 2014. (it will pointless to push technology ahead of it time remember Android 2.3 and dual-core?) Q still have plenty of time to play around. 1H14 Q has slightly higher clock chipset MSM8974AB, I think Sony would skip it again (same as SD600 situation) and stick to a lower-bin MSM8974 (2.16GHz) with their hardware optimization know-how.

Fabrication process is far more concern threat this year, as Samsung vow to jump to 14nm in 2014 but TSMC still no any responses to counter that but we all know Korean often bluffing, I don't know if they would rush technology out of the gate again as it happen when they rush Exynos 5410 this year, which not fully working as they claim.

I still remember that day of very first Snapdragon S4's shortage, I think that Q and TSMC wouldn't risk it again.

Instead of wasting money on useless custom Soc or buying some HW company, Sony should spend cash on Software.Nobody cares for custom only soc 2% of the crowd knows what Soc. is inside. Sony should build new unique software's Obviously Sony is giving us the latest Soc so all I care is perfect and useful software not like gimmick software features from Samsung.
SOFTWARE SOFTWARE SOFTWARE SOFTWARE SOFTWARE SOFTWARE IS WHAT WE NEED

Sony didn't take advantage from it resourcefulness and use it wisely for their Xperia smartphone.

^ just read that before they are stating it wont be released before the new year which is a shame as I am looking at one for a Christmas present for my girlfriend she keeps using my Z1 reading e-books in the bath so it will be ideal for her.

+1

Software has always been Sony's weakness, hinders the true potential of their hardware, right now Sony software is only just about right/decent, needs more tweaking and a little bit more features to become excellent.

I'm hoping Z1s will already have the rumored major camera software update out of the box so that it can leave a good impression once reviewers get their hands on it.
