4.6 mil is really a significance for SM, accounting for more than 50% of last quarter's volume!

In fact the uncertainty regarding One Sony is most worrying. Sony is confused about it. Whether to launch it in July or in holiday season around October.
Sony should release this ASAP! I hate to admit it but the Xperia Z is not the phone which will beat S4 or Iphone 6. Against the S4, it's only better design-wise and this is not enough to break the hype Samsung is beefing up with their current PLASTIC flagship. Sony should wake up and understand that they need to make a better phone. This might hurt those Xperia Z owners but I think by July the Xperia Z will be at the market for more than 5 months and an announcement and released of a new flagship will be understandable.

iPhone 6? iPhone 10 could barely put up a fight against the T if Apple 'progress' at the rate they are.
Anyway, Sony are slowing getting their act together. More and more integration across the different departments within Sony, the fruits of which will start being seen at the end of the year and more significantly, in the flagship of the next year.
The Z puts up a fight better than I expected against the GS4 (aka the SGS3S). It has a more detailed screen thanks to the pentile rubbish of the GS4, the result being only 623 sub-pixels per inch, only slightly more than the z10. The processor isn't much of an improvement. The s600 is comparable to the exynos quad+quad, and because the s600 isn't much of an improvement over the APQ8064, not particularly special. As developer unfriendly as always. The design doesn't need much comment. The water/dust resistance is what makes the Z sell to a LOT of people who would have gone for other phones. And I've heard more people have switched from iPhones to the Z in the period it has been out than they have switched to any other phone in a period of the same length.

If the 1st One Sony (Honami) comes out in 2H with these awesome spec, then what will Samsung's and HTC's strategies be? They'd be in a new situation, no longer spec leader unless they release new flagships.

Well Sony, Samsung and HTC have different strategies. It shouldnt really affect them much if their end users are happy.
Samsung - Release 1 flagship and support it well over the years = satisfied users
HTC - One flagship and support it well, atleast starting with htc one = satisfied users
Sony - Release 2 flaghsips, priority support for 6 months followed by barely any support = satisfied users.
The sales will eventually boil down to the demand which people will show. HTC followed what sony is following after they got big with desire. But that's how thy ended up now becaus of bad name.
Tbh I would be more happy if sony actually cancelled their 2h flagship phone and just release a top of the line phablet and support them really well. That way the users would be more satisfied. Free updates with new features will win over more people than paid bi annual hardware update.

Only one 2H flagship - Honami aka the first One Sony phone.
Only it will have everything, there is no walkman centric phone let alone a flagship.
what about the "Ray 3" or whatever it is called? to me it seems to have pretty much very similar specs to Honami so far apart from the screen!
what will it be missing compared to Honami? any idea?

This is an unconfirmed number but it is believed that Sony has sold 4.6 million Z`s and is having a hard time keeping up with the demand.

That'd be awesome if true. Sony deserves it for the effort and marketing they put behind it. It's a very good phone that has very minor quirks mostly caused by stupid decisions from Sony.
