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

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 love Sony and need to get a good look at the Z5P

[viridis]

Probably, dunno if any official O2 body will as no one really cares much about Sony releases..
Different tune to the z3+ isn't it? This is a REAL update...

[Cleoriff]

Re O2 reporting on it officially?...It has never stopped you before @viridis. Obviously do what you feel best...:smileytongue:

[viridis]

For me, the Z2 has been the most complete so far, people were expecting great things from the Z4 but that turned out to be a bit of a wet fart, mostly due to Sony themselves being confused with their place in the market. The Z5 range will overtake the Z2 in my book, a new twist on the old design, fingerprint security, 4k display (and let's be honest, Sony displays never disappoint) weather proof, a mass of real features people will use, playstation remote play, DSEE HX up scaling, hi res audio output to 3.5mm, and a few more.

I know how much you love that S6 Edge...but sometimes...just sometimes ....I wonder if you will be tempted with the Z5........(being a Sonyfanboy at heart)

[viridis]

Of course I am tempted, but I have chose wisely to follow Samsung's lead for a while, it's no secret I do have the option to preorder at the mo, with an open refresh spot, but as good as this is, as mentally advanced as it is, I am very happy with my edge and can't see it becoming bland to me any time soon.
I apologise in advance, but you won't be seeing a z5 premium review from me.

I have other plans...

That's ok...as long as your other plans don't involve a 'walk on the dark side'...
