No mention of battery anywhere. I hope it is not less than 3000mah.

#bestofSony = bezels
The Z1 could have been more compact. The ZU might get away with it because it's almost a tablet.

The bezel size is to make room for the sealing components required to make it water-resistant. You want a tiny bezel? Get the ZL or wait for Sony to release a non-water-resistant variation. I am more concerned with ergonomics. The Xperia Z had a sharp edge which cut into my hands. Hopefully Honami will be smoother.

Maybe you can try to design bezelles 5” waterproof phone with 1/2.3” camera sensor, 3000 mAh, stereo speakers.
last time i check the other 5” waterproof phone (S4 Active) is Taller, wider, thicker, and heavier than Xperia Z.
But S4 Active has smaller camera sensor, smaller battery, and smaller speaker than Z1.

The S4 Active is only slightly larger in every aspect. Less than 1-2mm.
The smaller camera sensor takes better photos, and it has a larger 2600mAh battery..not to mention the louder speakers versus xperiaz's puny speakers .....read the specs before you post

Lol, the galaxy note 3 will mess this in terms of sales. Now whether that will be a better device than Sony honami is a different thing.

They aren't in the same category, one is a phone, the other is a phablet. But both of them will be real good.

If only Sony went for a true A15 by Tegra4, instead of S800! I would've love to buy this!

Those are some big bezels right there. This phone is too boxy for me. It looks like a brick.

Loads of them. Some of them are playing around here, and some of them are still hiding in the cave. Wait until September 4th, and you will see all Samsung paid shills come out and whine about bezels.
Be careful, those paid shills are easily butthurt. You may receive a warning if you fire back at them.

It has not been a year since the Z-designed phones were made. No one who owns these phones would have a problem with the design.

ok... give me a break first! aftet display and camera issues with XZ, now new episodes has come.... bezel. people are never satisfied and that's human nature but technology made by human, right? so just be grateful for the tech that's available out there, the only thing you need to do is choose which one do you think it suits for you, it so easy...

It is the haters who would try their best finding holes of Sony's flagship.
