God, I love Sony's phone line (typing from a Z right now), but they've gotta slow the hell down. I was waiting on the Z4 to launch in the US and apparently the Z5 is out next month now. Either they've gotta catch up and stay caught up over here or they've gotta slow down before they cannibalize their own sales by turning fans off with literally 5 new lines of Z phone in two years.

The Z3+ was the "Z4". At least in Japan it was.

Other way around. The Z4 in Japan ended up JUST getting localized to the US recently as the Z3+. Except, by "localized to the US" I mean "localized to the UK." In the US you can't get the Z4/3+ yet, you have to wait for the Verizon model of the phone, the Z4v. Which, now, is outdated the moment it actually launches because Sony is awful at launch lag. I'm sitting here on my original Z still because T-mobile pulled the later Z line because of defects, and because I can't personally afford $650 up front on a phone because college. And now that T-Mobile isn't carrying the Z5 I have to hope they'll release worldwide in a timely manner and hopefully that Verizon takes up the Z5. Otherwise I have to switch to a worse phone eventually because Sony doesn't want my money.
