I found a very interesting post regarding the Z3X on the Weibo page of "itlao9", who appears to have sources close to him working at Sony.
索尼Z3X今年不会上市，目前仅是概念阶段，屏幕和相机CMOS都未能足够的量产。即便明年中期推出，也算得上旗舰手机。

Sony Z3X not be listed this year, is currently only a concept stage, screen and camera CMOS failed sufficient volume production. Even mid-launched next year, is also regarded as the flagship phone.

There is also info about the Z4:

So Z3X is not for 2015? Did people ask anything about a phablet or such?

I am not really sure why Sony cant seem to get their camera software right even though they managed to port steadyshot software properly to android.
This has to do with their JPEG engine, it's also notorious on their top of the line ILC's....... Though their RAW are very nice due to their excellent sensors!

The main problem with their software is their denoising algorithm. If what I believe is true (refer to my last post), the software blurs out the color components (Cb and Cr) to hide the chroma noise and then (fake) sharpen the picture. That seems the case since the pictures from the unlocked bootloader has more details but with more noise, so their denoising algorithm might be protected by DRM as well as other things it seems (rooting degrades video and audio quality, enhancements like X-Reality and Clear Audio don't work, while some users also report PS4 remote play not functioning).
Perhaps now we know and they should as well that their software shows its weakness when used in smaller camera sensors. It could have been the reason why the Z took awful shots, they probably just slapped the software from their cameras thinking it would magically work. A lot of people say that they had improved the software since the Z, that seems the case but it's almost 2 years now and they are still behind considering their "camera expertise". It's a shame that a 20 MP camera is only comparable to an 8 MP camera.

got to wait Android L update to see the real quality of the sensor then, since it suppose to support RAW.

I have faith in Sony's optical guys. They'll sort it out. Does anyone know if the guys working on the Xperia camera software are the same guys who do the software for the NEX and Alpha cameras? Maybe they're just not fully integrated yet. "One Sony" might still be a work in progress.

if we can trust ZOMG, he said that the Alpha team is deeply involve in the Camera portion of Z3, which is also why we got a huge boost in quality? I suspecting most of the camera software for Z1 and Z2 are still being handled by the regular software team and just taking stuffs from the standard UI from their camera division and stuffs like steadyshots and they way the social camera UI works seems like they are just a bunch of plugin's they add into the phone software.

Being that Z4 will launch with Android 5.0, I just hope developers will quickly find a way to root it without unlocking the bootloader

IMO the Z2 software is the best, much better in low light than Z3 but marred by the random blurring which I suspect is a hardware problem.

Devs say 5.0 might break apps requiring root, or that actually rooting a 5.0 device would be much harder.

This is what i'm afraid of, for me there's two reasons for rooting, software backup ( Titanium backup ) and few mods I use some times...
But AFAIK, the concept of root will change in Android 5.0, it's not like it will be harder, but rather rooting will not give you all the freedom that you have in current versions...
