Unfortunately, it can't be unlocked and used by another cellular operators since KDDI doesn't offering SIM-Unlock program for their line-ups.

I doubt of it. I think it won't be Z2 Compact due to nothing new in A2. And remember it likely Xperia A (Japanese Xperia ZR) successor rather than Xperia Z1 Compact successor.

I really wanted the Z1 compact, but the flash-bleed issue killed it for me. If this one fixed the problem, and brings along the same specs as that of the Z2, I AM SOLD.

AnonD-206292, 14 May 2014I don't see any good reason to buy A2, as it is completely ... moreSince the Xperia A is a Japanese version of Xperia ZR, so I believe this A2 is either a ZR successor or just a Z1C with new patch of colours, I agreed with you that it would be nice to see Z2C have a bigger display and battery.
But the main goal of the compact version is to keep things small, so perhaps the compact version should not follow the current trend which the successor will always gone bigger than its predecessor. Or else, the compact version will eventually be become not-compact anymore...

Z2 was called Sirius. Both Altair and Sirius are stars. Think again.

I don't see any good reason to buy A2, as it is completely similar to Z1 Compact.
Three things are absolutely necessary for me to buy Z2 Compact.
1.4.5 or 4.6 inch 720p IPS Screen
2.Ram should be 3gb
3.2500 mAh battery atleast.
And I'd also like to see dual speaker on the front.

Anonym, 14 May 2014Also let's hope the flash-bleed issue that affected so many... moreAgreed.
This was THE mini flagship I had been waiting for. I like Sony products but the Z1c let me down. I'm truly hoping this device delivers.

It's such a shame that a phone with a camera like the Z1 Compact produced photos (in the night with flash) that ranged from pure unusable crap to just poor quality given the prominent flash in a part of the photo.
Thankfully I've been hearing reports that this issue has been fixed in the very latest Z1 Compact units, but previous owners who are affected by this are still stuck with no solution in sight.

How disappointing.
A very few superficial changes, and SONY thinks that they can call it "Z2 Compact" yet it's pretty much the "Z1 Compact?" In which universe?
