I'm probably going to get the Z1s if its out before next year. Else, I'll probably just wait till next year for the Z2 (or Z2 mini if they're smart and announce it in parallel).
I'm mostly interested in the design language they go for this time around....I hope they don't use OmniBalance again. While it is beautiful, I appreciate that Sony have a unique style for each year.

I wonder if Sony maybe thinking of releasing a slide out qwerty keyboard smartphone like the old Xperia Mini Pro. There has to be a market for this I'm sure the phone wouldn't have to be top spec maybe.
3.7 inch QHD display with X-Reality engine (298 PPI)
8MP Exmor RS rear camera with full HD video recording with LED flash
2.2 Exmor R front camera with 720p video recording
Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1.7 GHZ dual core
1.5 GB of RAM
8GB of internal storage with micro SD card support
Android KitKat 4.4
Slide out qwerty keyboard with optical trackpad
2100 MAh battery with stamina mode
As you can see this would easily sit well with low to mid range devices of next year and if priced around £230 them I'm sure Sony will be onto a winner.
Anyone agree?

IMO, it should be like this:
5 inch flagship
~4.3 inch flagship mini
~4.7 Flagship, with QWERTY keyboard
6 inch premium phablet
4 inch mid end dual SIM phone
Same as above, but with QWERTY also
That cover almost all categories in the premium section...

@Felimenta97 agreed with all except I think Sony will still need a sub 4 inch smartphone to compete in the smaller screen segment

My wife loves the real keyboard. That's the only reason she still has a Blackberry.

@ hihihans In my store we get lots of people who want to move from BlackBerry but want to keep the qwerty keyboard but there isn't any decent ones out there, regarding my post on the qwerty I think Sony should develop I have just found out the in May of this year JDI started the mass production of a QHD display with Pixel Eyes tech that would fit the bill perfectly with a 3.7 inch display with a qwerty keyboard and optical trackpad. C'mon Sony their is a market for this just make it happen

But the problem is people also want good cameras, big screen and good battery life, and the keyboard has to be good otherwise you might as well use the on-screen one : such a device would have to be 15 mm thick at least so you have to reduce the screen size in order to make it pocketable because a 15 mm 4.5 - 5 inch screen would be way too big (a narrower and shorter but thick device is manageable), and/or make some compromises elsewhere (flat useless keyboard, small low quality cam module, small battery ...) This is why there is virtually no qwerty phone over 4inch, 1800 mAh battery and all have have had bad cameras since the N97. And even with all these compromises you end up with a big device. When these phones are made, they have subpar specs and people would prefer keyboard-less phones, this is why there is low demand and manufacturers finally decides to stop making them altogether... It's sad but people who doesn't belong to the mainstream doesn't get the products they wants ... I, for one,would have liked a Xperia Play 2 but I know it's nearly impossible for similar reasons) Even Nokia only made Asha (as opposed to higher-end Lumia) keyboard phones lately, because people buying phones that cheap didn't expect good specs in the first place.

This is the Motorola Photon Q it was released about 18 month ago and it to be the best qwerty phone I can find spec wise if this is possible 18 month ago what is possible now or even in another 6 months surely. Sony has the tech to make the phone with some big improvements like battery capacity and the thickness .http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-PHOTON-Q-4G-LTE_id7253

If I were Kaz I would've sold Sony's shares in Olympos which is up 140% from the time Sony bought it and acquaired 51 percent stake in Sharp's handset business to cement Sony's position as no.1 in Japan and reduce per device development cost and then probably bring sharp's handsets outside Japan.
