Sony made a nice turnaround with Z. Just like Apple they started to concentrate on what they are good at - customer experience when using the product. None cares what is under the hood of iPhone, iPad, or any Apple product as long as it offers seamless user experience combine with a premium look and feel of the product. Tech specs. are only good for geeks and tech-websites, but the real people care about everyday performance.
That is why Apple is sooo successful! With their one-generation-smaller screens, but top notch color reproduction and touch experience. And now Sony has made the turnaround and is hopefully going the same road. And there is plenty of room for improvement.
The Camera - Best pictures of all times? Nokia PureView, Nokia N8 and SE Satio! Why there isnt a single cameraphone around to match those? That is something i would consider progress...
Battery life - Energy recuperation is the key here. I dont need 5000mAh battery, if my phone is able to charge from solar panel on his back. With 4-5 inch screens? There is a plenty room for that. I dont care that it takes 5 hours to charge. My phone is sitting on the desk 8 hours a day.
Touchscreen - Everybody needs keys. Admit it, no matter how good a on-screen keyboard is, we still prefer keys and that haptic response. No, vibrating-on-touch will not do it, neither a bigger screen will. On-screen-navigation buttons are worst thing ever, I want real keys with a solid feel.
Materials -I believe there are other things then aluminum and glass, or? (Titanium alloys, carbon fibers... etc) And dont tell me it is expensive, they are making bike frames of carbon fibers for gods sake...
So overall I believe the next Sony phone will focus on this, not some S600 or S800 or new Intel chipset or bigger screen, or 6 GB of RAM.... if they need it inside to make it run, that is their problem, not the users...

Agree. The actual specs now reached the max, at least for about 3 years. They should work on battery tech now.

have to disagree with keyboard part.i for one prefer Sony gesture typing better than any physical keys.
also sony needs to do better with viewing angles,not that it bothers me but damn reviewers keep bashing sony for that and alot of average people care about reviews.(not me)
but you have some good points.wish sony paid more attentions to fan disccutions

Seems like Sony will be stuck with all the no-name manufacturers (like oppo and whatnot) using s4 pro. HTC and LG will use the newer snapdragon 600 in their 1080p flagships. Sony is getting screwed by qualcomm again...

thats why its important for them to invest in this business, so they would have their own interests first.

So lets see whether Sony C680X use snapdragon 800 or 600(mostly will be this one) or still APQ8064?

Well what you get with Z/ZL is basically a better looking Optimus G. That's why I didn't go for the upcoming flagship(s).
IMO, S4 pro is a top notch 2012 contender and as such is outdated for a 2013 flagship.

We will reveal that information in April. Please do not ask about C680X until than.

Qualcomm has never screwed Sony. Last year the issue was with the foundry (TSMC) that had production problems with 28nm wafers. This affected not only Sony but also Nvidia and AMD.
This is a business, not high school, do you seriously believe Qualcomm told Sony: No thank you we do not want your money because we like LG and HTC more? Qualcomms goal like any company is to make as much money as possible
Most likely S600 did not fit in Sonys schedule or they wanted to pay less money and chose APQ8064
Qualcomm is getting rid of APQ8064 and replacing with S600 so most likely it was sold cheaper than what it cost to buy S600
