Sony will not dissappoint users unlike HTC and Samsung this year and will come up with beautifully-crafted high end device. My Xperia S is due for upgrade this year. Z4 im patiently waiting for you.

    How about improving the warranty service? My Sony Z1 has been back 5 times for the same fault. I won't be buying another phone from this useless company any time soon.

      darkraver, 06 Mar 2015Sony never copied sammy, whereas the latter...be patient! Sony already said they would prefer giving out stable update instead of giving it quickly but full of bugs!
      Sony will hopefully directly release 5.0.2 lollipop for its users!
      all hail Sony!
      and a tight slap for those who were barking of Sony exiting Smartphone business!

        darkraver, 06 Mar 2015Sony forward! Over 10% increase in sales in q4 2014 due to... morespoken by a clear bigot. objectively samsung, lg (especially with their watch urbane lte), and even alcatel provided plenty of innovation. i advise you to sit down, keep quiet, and let the unadulterated adults do the talking.

          I still have to see someone using a Sony phone, let alone a Z3...Everybody wants a Samsung phone, they are even less expensive than Sony phones !

            darkraver, 06 Mar 2015Just as note4 got outdated by s6? far from it. the only phone that will outdate the note 4 is the note 5. give me any other phone that even comes close to what the note 4 can achieve in the functionality and productivity departments and then you can begin to be relevant.

                  Z4 should be focused better on user experience and software-hardware optimizations. The hardware will be almost the same across all rhe flagships this year

                            Sony is the best simply. Sony creates very beautiful and great devices as always.

                                  Sony forward!
                                  Over 10% increase in sales in q4 2014 due to z3 series is good news :-)

                                  That m4 aqua top midranger with that pricetag is fabulous
                                  And finally waterproof usb charger :-)
                                  Z4 tab screen tech and batterylife optimizations are a tech wonder

                                  Only real innovations that were there on WMC B-)

                                    Sony needs better focus on non flagship devices, they have become very poor except the E series.

                                      The half a year cycle for flagships is utterly stupid, the moment the Z2 was on the market the Z3 was almost revealed. Who will buy such a phone when a newer version is already available? Focus on having a stable software instead because right now it's utter crap (even in Z3).

                                        True. The only issue here is that Z4 ultra, which many of us are awaiting for, is still not here. And we need it.

                                        It's strange that in a market so filled up with products and demand, there is still a gap in the way manufacturers understand users' needs. Many of us want a true phablet.

                                        I, for instance, use to read a lot on my phone and even edit office docs. A 1080i or 1440i (I don't really care) 6.0-6.4 powerhouse would be ideal for me. Samsung's Note is ugly, iPhone 6+ is so 2011, Huawei's Mate is inaccessible.

                                        Wait with the Z4 until the autumn if you please, but do launch z4 ultra earlier.
