28 August, 2014

I cant stop thinking if there is sth more up the sleeve....copper heat reduction, what if...they managed to turn some of the dispersing heat into electricity for the battery? Maybe u128 means up to 128 hours battery endurance? That would be true innovation

        Kelly, 28 Aug 2014LOL now thats funny hahahaaThats not funny, thats true, I do it with my Z1

          francisukumar, 29 Aug 2014hey the 7mm thickness and 6.14 in diagnol 8c would be oct... moreThere is a 8 before C....so it is very suggestable of octacore
          U1:28:00 isn't about SD card size support, as it is nothing new...
          Would be innovative if they incorporated "Link to SD" function somehow...that would truely mean that you d have a Up to 128 gb "internal memory" phone

            After owning a Z1 and reading the camera issues were not fixed in Z2 I really hope they fix the canera properly and upgrade the lens this time

              The Z2 has 4K recording capabilities. These were limited to 5 minutes as the phone would overheat with anything longer.
              Maybe Sony have improved the (Copper) cooling to allow longer 4K recording on th Z3 range.

                  May be 8 Cu means 8 cooling unit. I dont know. just guessing at the unseen. :)but im sure this devices will be fare better in built quality. and one more thing i noticed sony actually is focusing on built quality. if you look at the Xperia Z, Z1, Z1c, Z2. you can see there are a huge difference in built quality. you can check this if you use z, z1 and z1c. i had all these models so i know.

                    128 is a common size in computers, it isnt clear though, if its bits, Kbs or Mbs, and then its 8C, which is unknown too

                      "Cu" means copper. Have you forgotten the periodic table already? jk

                        8c would be octacore and u 128 would be upto 128 GB memory
                        3.06 would be the level of water resistance capability of this phone.
                        &
                        the last one is the date of launch 03/09/2014

The Z2 has this as well but poorly designed. Sony is going to make a big deal out of this since the competition doesnt care about cooling.

                                Good Sony!
                                Really exited in z3 comapct!!!!
                                hoping the z3c will bring great update from z1c.
                                and hoping that z3 will bring huge improvement over the z2. especially the camera. Not hoping the flash will change. It will stil SINGLE LED FLASH. should be XENON or DUAL LED.

                                  This time I am really excited about z3 compact. I hope the leaked dimensions and the screen ratio are true. I hope Iphone 6 is gonna have strong competitors like galaxy alpha and z3 compact. The best wins!!

                                    One more thought :

                                    u may stand for ultra high speed in sd cards: thus u12800 may imply 128 gb cards that support u1 or u2 standars, which are faster that class 10 sd cards (essential detail when taking photos while storing on sd cards)

                                        On the periodic table of elements "Cu" stands for Copper. I would be interesting to see if they apply copper in some kind of creative design.
