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)

It would take less than one corner to fit an entire iphone 6 display resolution

Fast charge 

Fingerprint scanner

World's fastest auto focus 

World's first 4k screen on a mobile phone.

You know what, I'm going with (roughly)

Compact £350-399

Z5 £450-500

Premium £600+

If that's a good guess then it's going to be a great option to consider.

[viridis]

Sony normally go along those lines but that display is a big question mark.
I'd put money on 650 at least, because generally Sony have to have a price advantage over iphone on release

[Cleoriff]

Absolutely ...very competitive price...considering all those World Firsts...

Looks like a good phone, but will be worth waiting for the reviews to come in since the processor is already known to not be great on battery life, that coupled with a 4K screen is asking for trouble.

Plus Sony's main disadvantage is their products take too long in lead time to get from announcement to the market. Z5 compact and Z5 in October, Z5 premier in November. By September 18th (my guess) Apple will have their next release in consumers hands.
