I thought thinner devices were usually easier to break if they fall as most phones and Phablets will at some time.
I do not understand this obsession by analysts about "thinner" phones/phablets. What I prefer is a phone/phablet that is sturdy, reliable, feels comfortable in my hands, has a decent screen and a good battery life.

    I can't wait for Sony to unleash their amazing products!!

      darkraver, 28 Aug 2014I do not believe they really mean illuminati, just playing ... moreMy take on it:
      there will be a phablet 7 mm thick, 6.14 inch screen, 8 core CPU, u1(sd card?), 2800 ( cpu mhz?, 28.0 mpx?), 3gb Ram, 06 ???, water resistant up to 2 m....

      And with it a Z3, and a 8 inch Z3 tablet...

      Could it be Sony leaks were disinfo on purpose?

          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)

            07:MM:06:14 7MM 6.14“
            8C:u1:28:00 Copper
            03:06:H2:00 Water resistant up 2 metres and 120 minnutes
            03:SE:PT:14 release date

            or there is second definition of these numbers.
            8C:u1:28:00 8core up to 128 gb

                      AnonD-129221, 28 Aug 2014Guys, here are two reasons why one of the devices is the on... moreThat would be nice (since Z2 doesnt really need replacement yet) but im not so sure, the Z3 Compact will be only 127mm tall and then those silhouettes matches a phone at max 150mm, thats not enough for 6.14 inch display.

                      And furthermore, 6.14 is very likely to be the thickness of the Z3 Tablet Compact.

                      Anyway, why on earth didnt they include LED flash for front cam on any of these? Lots of South East Asians are going nuts over the Xperia C3, selfie monopods are everywhere at prices down to $5. I know lots of Europeans hate monopods but it will increase there as well, its just the usual western europe stuckupness that delays them. Also i see the practicality of making videocalls in not so well lit places plus ofcourse to use as a mirror in said places.

                          Guys, here are two reasons why one of the devices is the one already into discussion (Zx3):

                          1. on the first row (as already mentioned), the numbers 6.14 suggest the display diagonal.
                          2. If you take a close look at the image at 0.40, u'll see that the device in the left can't be a 5 incher. if it were, than we should expect a 7 inch tablet from sony, which is more than questionable considering their product lines at present and in the past two years.

                          So excited about this

                              CU...
                              In front of CU is 8 and after is 1,2. I think it could mean 8 cores - Octa-Core device clocked at 1.2 Ghz. It would be expectable because Sony does not have one yet. (HTC, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Gione, Alcatel, Meizu have at least one)

                                3 devices? Let me guess
                                Z2S AKA Z3..
                                Z2C or Z3C(indeed needed but we already have Z1C)
                                Z3 Phablet(Stretched out Z3 or who knows Z2...)

                                Such surprises, much excitement, WOW
