After Sony has made it clear it is sticking with a 6-month release cycle on its Xperia Z line, it is obvious we will not get significant improvements with each new iteration. However, we would expect some change when it comes to the specs.
According to GFX Bench, the device will feature a 1080p 5.1' display, SD 800, 20 MP camera, 3 GB RAM, and all the rest of the Z2's specs. That would make it basically identical. Now, that doesn't mean we are getting the same device. Here's a snapshot from the GFX Bench website:
First of all, it would be hard to believe we will be seeing an SD 800 in the Z3, and this will probably get bumped up to SD 801 when we reach the official launch. Moreover, 19 MP doesn't mean the camera hasn't been improved, and it will probabl feature Sony's curved sensor. The curved sensor is the first of its kind, and is targeted at mimicking the curved shape of the human eye (our eyes aren't flat), and thus producing better photos. We can also expect the Z3 to feature an improved UI.
Noteworthy is saying this is coinciding with other rumors which claim the display to be slightly larger at 5.15', and the device to have an SD 801 like we mentioned above.
The announcement event of the Xperia Z3 is expected to happen at IFA Berlin on September 3, 2014, so we don't have too long until the official unveiling. What do you think, would you get a slightly-improved Z2 in the shape
