Mi3 from 2013 was 5" at 8.1mm thick with a 3050mAh battery and mi note is 5.7" at 6.95mm thick with 3000mah battery. both phones get good battery life

      AnonD-455738, 08 Jan 2016LG is no name? They were first with SD810 and SD800.Sony was the first one to use the SD800 on the Z Ultra, you are right on LG using the SD810 on the G Flex 2 first, though.

Look it up first. SD810 is a horrible chip because of thirsty high-clocked A57 cores and leaky 20nm process.

                5.2" is just d perfect size.....
                i'd be okay wid 1080p as long as d panel is of good quality......

                  z5 and z5 premium are both the most expensive sd810 smartphones and its boring already coz sd820 is just few weeks away....
                  so bringing tech to the people involves bringing it fast, not onr year after d other companies....

So maybe one with lower specs like 3gb ram,1080p display and 32 gb inbuilt memory which is fine with me as long as it is priced 1999 yuan.

                          I doubt they will, though. IMO 2,499 Yuan (24,999 in India), will be a good price for the specs mentioned. However, at 2,999 Yuan, it will be very close to Galaxy S6 in terms of price, which won't be ideal.

                              sony is the reason sd 810 got famous as a heater with thier z3+,z5.
                              just see sd810 doesn't heat on nexus 6p ,oneplus 2.
                              BTW sony is planning to close the the mobile department 2 or 3 years due to huge losses

                                Price seems to be a bit to high. The foundation of this company was competitive pricing and cutting edge technology. They are moving away from it.

                                  So now the waiting time (so long) is clear since the date of release has been confirmed.

                                      Anonymous, 08 Jan 2016What's new? It is as predictable as tomorrow.. 3600 mAh battery is not predictable on a 5.2" phone. I read that LG will barely be able to include a 2800 mAh battery in the upcoming 5.3" G5. Also Samsung is rumored to include a 3000 mAh battery in the S7, but I doubt it, I think it will have something similar to S6 (around 2500 mAh).

But I'm on the same boat as you if it doesn't have a good update record then I'm not interested in it either, the price is also higher than past rumors seem to suggest which is disappointing to say the least.
