But its minimal design and good material looks good, seriously a very good option for 2013.
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
hi mate,

i am using the HTC One X & Xperia S at the moment... have already ordered the Xperia T... should be getting it soon... though now i think i jumped the gun in ordering it, especially looking at the specs of the Xperia yuga :P

hi mate.... i am fine... been terribly busy with studies... exams going on currently... should be done in a few days time...

the xperia yuga looks awesome on paper... it will be the device to jump to in case u planning to buy a sony device in the next few months...

glad to see u still using my kernel ;)

em... from the pics currently available, yes it does look ugly... have to test it out in person to be sure :)

[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
Wanna get the V but considering holding out for the Yuga or the 5R. On the other hand they're both phablets and might be too big (not fit in my pocket comfortably). With this in mind, do you think it's worth going for the V in January or holding out for the Yugo/5R ??
[Xperia Z General] nielneal:
agree with you buddy

and i wud b buying xperia yuga (bcz those specs wud b sufficient and can survive for atleast 1 or 2 years )....as soon as it comes in india...bcz specs list is osm....and as m sure will have lots of developers for xperia yuga as been the frst quadcore from sony with full hd.....and my yuga phone wud stay on doomkernel as soon as he make any....;)

[Xperia Z General] ljubanve:
If you take the best from both phones and combine it in one I think that phone would be Sola. But no JB for Sola if I'm not mistaken.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
I would recommend Xperia J !!

from the Giant Killer Samsung Note 2
[Xperia Z General] ronhoover88:
Thanks for the advice. Is the Xperia TX really that bad, as my budget is restricted to it
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
No, Xperia T is NOT bad at all, point is from 2013 a new era is starting with better Displays and quad cores, so there is NO point buying T/TX now.

In Jan/Feb, plenty of super phones will be announced, wait till then.

If your budget is LOW, better get Nexus 4.
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
I tend to agree with the others. Stay well away from the tx. We've got the next generation of smartphones just a couple of months away.

I'd hold fire, save up a bit more and get something new and and improved and not just something refined which is what the tx is. Plus it has a very poor display quality. Notably inferior to that of the S.

Wait man wait. If you don't you'll seriously regret. The tx is too late. It's a worthless upgrade. It'll will die out on 4.1 officially too
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Wishing all Merry Christmas !!

from the Giant Killer Samsung Note 2
[Xperia Z General] LegibleEel:
Why is everyone holding back on from getting the T/TX? They are great phones, smooth and stylish. Yeah you could wait and get a the better spec device but is it really needed? The duel core in the T/TX is perfectly fine for games, not once have I felt lag in game.

Screen size for the yoga, IMO is too big, 5" is too hard to hold and text with one hand, also looks stupid when bringing it up to your head to answer calls. IMO the 4.3" screen the XV has is perfect, but they don't sell the XV in my country lol.

Anyway I don't understand why people are skipping 2 totally awesome phones just to get a slightly newer one.

But hay, that's just my opinion :)
[Xperia Z General] IdeosDev:
Personally tested the T & TX.The screen doesn't work well under direct sunlight.

Hardly visible and the S4 Dual Core not as fast as benchmark would said.

It's costing more and 13MP is just the key feature to have.

Other's then that,i don't see that it will be well priced :crying:

They are always late for everytime.

When other OEM coming up with dual core,they just have single core as flagship that goes no where.

Now they are chasing up.If they going for all glass body.It's just a disaster as i have no idea when it going to break.

[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
Personally, I think it won't be dead easy to see the difference between the V's 720p display and the Z (Yuga) 's 1080p plus I think it would really be extremely rare that the Z would be using its full potential with its four cores. So do you think it is good to get the Sony Xperia V ?

not sure what to make of this but i thought i would share it, its an add out out of a catalogue for an xperia sola but the phone in the picture is clearly not a sola, could possibly be a new model? dosen't look like any current xperia.

Guys,

Below are the pics of Xperia Z & Xperia ZL, there are some differences I can see in design like:

1. Illumination Light in ZL

2. Camera hardware button in ZL

3. Xperia ZL looks wider

4. Front Camera at bottom right in ZL, why?

Why Sony cannot integrate everything in ONE FLAGSHIP device keep things simple !!

from the Giant Killer Samsung Note 2
[Xperia Z General] AwesomeTurtle:
Placing the frontcam on the bottom right is nothing too strange: Nokia's N9 featured the same thing, and it was no less a front camera.

I love the look and specs of this phone, no doubt Sony has stepped up its game for 2013. But I think I'll wait to see other brands first. Key lime pie will come one day and how long will Z users have to wait for it, seeing as this phone will be released on the old jelly bean, can we really trust Sony again?
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Sony has definitely released two devices that'll surely get folks taking again.

From the initial press photos, the ZL looked the better phone but since CES, it's clear that the Z is by far and away the more premium device. The ZL seems a complementary device.

On hardware, Sony has definitely joined the big boys. Samsung and HTC can only come with similarly specs. Well maybe only slightly higher clocked processors so Sony has nothing to worry about there.

Where things become more uncertain, is whether these devices can carry through the very positive vibes around them now once others launch their 4.2 devices.

HTC might have missed a trick by opting for a 4.7 inch display. Maybe they weren't overly satisfied with the dimensions of the butterfly.

Kudos to Sony there. They've come out with two 5 inch flagships that are most certainly smartphones and not phablets. Some question marks hung over the butterfly even though I tend to consider that a phone as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see HTC announce the global version of the butterfly with the up coming M7. I don't think the M7 will stand up to the Z despite having a faster processor because of the smaller screen. I believe 5 inches rightly or wrongly will be the benchmark of the flagships this year and Sony's offerings have certainly got tongues waging.

The penny has dropped with Sony that they can't compete with inferior specifications. At least on the hardware side. Trouble is has the same realization been made on software development. To really challenge Samsung's dominance, Sony are going to have to close up the gap on software.

HTC like I've said have missed an opportunity which might prove fatal. They''ll have to rely on the mighty butterfly to save them. Trouble is there's already a 5 inch smartphone better than the butterfly.... The Xperia Z.

We await the GS4. Samsung are selling phones like no one else so I don't expect a radical shift from cartoon touchwiz or the plasticky chassis we've all come to hate so much. I'm sure Samsung will dazzle again with more innovations like pop up video, eye tracking e.t.c as well as having 4.2 straight out the box.

Will the Xperia Z mount a serious concerted challenge for Samsung's crown this year. Most likely not. That's too much to expect but it'll certainly make a noticeable impression forcing Samsung to finally rethink touchwiz and plastic as those are the things people hate most about their devices. We can hope at least.

condition: if SONY will release by Feb end, year 2013 ;)
[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
Getting the Sony Xperia Z (gotta change my xda signature now!) in Black. Went to my local o2-UK store today to ask about it and to hold the Samsung Galaxy S3 as that is meant to be similar in size. The S3 did feel a bit wide/almost awkward to hold in my hand, but then I remembered that Sony have paid extra attention to making sure the Sony Xperia Z is thinner and that it feels light and comfortable to hold. So as regards my worries of the Sony Xperia Z being like other phablets like the S3, Note II etc and therefore being too big in this respect, I think it should actually be fine so I shouldn't have to worry about it, hopefully...
[Xperia Z General] fareeed:
Well it costs £528 in the UK and my contract finishes in August, by which time the phone will likely cost around £450-500ish so I guess I should start saving :D I could get it on a carrier contract but then no cyanogenmod :(

**** please DELETE this post ****
[Xperia Z General] quiel90:
I would really like to get it, but bc of my country's bad laws, it would end costing around 800-900 dollars (yes, they're THAT bad), besides, i've just bought my Xperia S like... 2 weeks ago, so if i get it, it would be by very late this year
[Xperia Z General] dohanotoha:
The phone is really incredible. But I don't think of getting it for two reasons :

1- The 5" size is big for me.

2- My Xperia p is only 6 months old and I'm pretty happy with it and probably will wait for last year's new models (smaller screens, hopefully!)
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
It will be at least 900-1000 dollars here lol
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Trust me 5" is good size for everyone (unless you have very small hands). I have used Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 2 is too big and cant be handled using one hand BUT Galaxy S3 is perfect size phone and Xperia Z will be also the same size and shape.

So do not wait for small size phone coz 5" is pretty much standard these days, it will be NO shock to see iFails next device somewhere around 5" !!
[Xperia Z General] ThilinaC:
Thinking about Xperia Z black one =) gonna wait till Samsung announce S4 tho and then decide which way to go

my only concern's with Sony are as it has always been,bad update speed & their releasing of 4-5 flagships a year and abandon Q1 flagships around mid-end year :/ not to mention the locked boot loader -_-
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
Just buy the phone from any store (that not any carrier) and you should be good.
[Xperia Z General] fareeed:
Yeah plus the update from 4.1 to 4.2 isn't huge so it shouldn't take that long. In all the videos I seen they described the Sony skin as being very minimalistic too so it shouldn't draw away too much from AOSP
[Xperia Z General] keepitsimpleidiot:
Very good observations. I haven't been upset like some with slightly slower software releases from Sony. I think their UI is far superior to Samsungs and HTCs (both put out good spec phones, but they lack the beauty Sony brings to the table)

Any existing rumors on the Xperia Go successor? I'd love to have a Sony IP67 phone, but the poor screen resolution, headphones port placement + only 512MB RAM on the Go are deal breakers. Currently using a laggy Defy+.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
Sony did see a lot of what Sony Ericsson did as a threat to its core business (remember, SE was run separately and,

for the time being

, still is as Sony Mobile).

This is why I think Sony put pressure on to get the Walkman and Cyber-shot branding dropped from the high-end models. I regularly told people at SE how silly I thought this was, as brand names sell. I was quite surprised to see that Sony allowed SE to use BRAVIA and Exmor R - but now it's Sony Mobile, it seems like Walkman might be making a reappearance.

To be honest, why not Cyber-shot too?

I am not saying to put either logos on the phone itself, but it's good on the box and certainly helps when you fire up the music player or camera to see the logo - to add credibility and show that Sony rates their smartphone up there with its standalone Walkman player or Cyber-shot camera.

There's also the suggestion that the Xperia Play could never be allowed to damage sales of the PSP, but it seems sales of the Vita have been pathetic and I doubt that's down to the Xperia Play - but more the case of people now having very powerful smartphones and getting used to freemium games, or games that cost a couple of pounds/dollars.

Sony will have to re-evaluate its whole business in the future. Rather than trying to keep its smartphones from harming other Sony sales, it may come to learn that its mobile operation is where it's going to make most of its money from in the years to come.
[Xperia Z General] Surethom:
Cyber-shot Phone.

I so want a cyber-shot branded Sony Android phone, with a Xenon flash, I loved my Non smartphone K750i & K850i :D

Nokia has the correct approach to a Camera Phone with Xenon flash & when the next version of Windows phone is out Nokia will port its Pureview & xenon flash to Windows Phone.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
I am not sure whether they or any other brands knows exactly what customers wants !!!!

Its pretty simple, we want a phone with:

1. Design like Sony

2. UI like Sony/HTC

3. Hardware like Samsung

4. Updates like Apple

:) :rolleyes: :cool: ;)

from xperia PLAY
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
An Android smartphone with Xenon flash would be awesome, but looking at the actual trend of "who will make the thinnest smartphone", I highly doubt we gonna see that feature in an Android device anytime soon.

Regarding Pureview: You will not see a PureView WP from Nokia before Q2 2013, at least not the real PureView PRO used like in the 808. There will be devices using the pixel binning technology, but not with a monster 41MP camera sensor.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
The RAZR MAXX, assuming it sells, might just appeal to people who have begun to realise that their super-thin mobile doesn't last a day, and maybe - just maybe - next time they'll get one with a bigger battery.

Ultra-thin phones are quite hard to hold anyway, especially if you want to hold it up and take a photo, for example. Forget about doing some things one handed, as you'll drop and scratch your phone - and then maybe opt to buy a case which makes it thicker and what have you saved?!

Now I've come from having my first mobile phone, a Nokia Cityman 100 and a Motorola/Storno brick - and then gradually seen phones get thinner every year. Then we got to a point where we had minute phones with tiny keypads, and then they started to grow again as people wanted to view pictures and video. I really do hope we'll see phones stop fighting to reach 5mm or less, as I'm sure we can all accept it is possible - but doesn't mean it HAS to be done.
