I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with Z.

[viridis]

Z5 and Z5 compact, sandwiching an iphone of some kind.

Looks to be thicker, along the 7mm range with Z5c? a LOT thicker... wireless charging takes a bit of space...

New power button, just big enough for a fingerprint reader...

Remember that Xperia Y render doing the rounds...

Not to dissimilar is it.

Oh well, in 6 days you get to see the finished goods.

Sony IFA announce event is Sept 2nd at 16:30 CET (Europe time innit)

I have to say I like the look of it. Not particularly interested in slim phones (always worry they are too flimsy)

And idea what size screen the Z5 has @viridis?......

Oh and I don't suppose for one minute you will be 'stepping back from the Edge'...(see what I did there?...oh well it is early...

[viridis]

Some say 5.2" for the standard one, so?

And, no, no desire to change phones for a long while yet.

[Cleoriff]

And of course I suppose the price is a well kept secret as well?

[viridis]

Well the z3 was 480 on refresh, the z3+/z4 was higher, nearer 600 I think(may be wrong)
So Z5c? Will be around 350-400
Z5 will be 500+

Ok...thanks for that.....

September promises to be very interesting...

[viridis]

The smaller one, isn't the same design as the larger. Almost intentionally.
The compacts have always followed the design of the standard, so why is this one so much thicker and missing the corner bumpers?
It's odd.

So I get emails in from TechRadar....( I bet that shocked many of you)

Anyway this arrived today....
