        Let's hope so. And please make it available i several sizes with same internals, such as Z1 and Z1 compact. All I miss there is a Z1 in 6". The Z Ultra is just a tad bit too big, and the 5" too small. A 6" phone - with narrow bezels - is perfect.

        Something for everyone, 4,5 and 6" (essentially small, medium and large).

        Sony design and design features are great, no doubt. But the bezels could be trimmed a bit.

            This is nice.

            If they made a successor to the Xperia Pro, it would be unreal.

              This is a blunder and a possible leap backwards.
              Vulnerability of Windows...
              Maybe not on the lower end devices.

                AnonD-1577, 12 Jan 2014All new Sony Vaio PC's and laptops are sold with Windows 8 ... moreHow could you say the whole community of android users thieves??? If you don't like it, say something with logic....maybe some users likes piracy but that's not the whole user community.

                Say, if I call you a thief, because you use a windows PC which too has a capability of install anything outside it's OS marketplace???

                it's the same, android gives you choice, it depends on you what you wants to be.

                again, if all users of android are pirates, then why developers are making more and more apps on android..??

                              Has Sony missed the fact that W8 ran Nokia into the ground? I worked for P4u and whilst I was there contracts for w8 phones gave the best incentives(commission)> Still, I refused to sell them as 9/10 times the customer would come back with the phone, either hating it or it being faulty which would lead to a huge time spunk and a complaint which further reduced our commissions.

                              For a Pc, the most stable, the fastest, the best os by far is Linux. Do I use it? No. There is no support, games or programs written for it. On a PC I use Windows because in need PS and another host of utilities that aren't made for linux. Now with phones,Android has 68% of the market share, Apple has 19% and Windows 3%. Who's going to have the best apps and functionality?

They know very less about their device. They just got poisoned by commercials and friends. They don't read/research about their device on net. Most of them don't even know gsmarena exist.

                                      What a shame Sony is not in a position to make Blackberry mobiles, something the market definitely needs with another manufacturer say under license. It is needed given the massive issues with other OS's being so insecure and is leading to global hacking issues such as we are already seeing.

                                        It is just because Samsung is very poor in customizing the Android software to suit its hardware!

                                        Samsung is only good making hardware and extremely poor in software/firmware.

                                        If possible get Google's version of Samsung devices, it will avoid any hanging issue.
