So what is the C6*** number of the LTE Europe version of the Sony Xperia Z?? (Need to make sure I'm getting the right one)
[Xperia Z General] Spectre51:
6603 is the LTE version.

Sent from my Sony Xperia™ ion
[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
For Europe/UK? :) Thanks
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Sony isn't focusing on the US right now, which is why it's set of phones available in the US is very limited. Kaz Hirai explained in an interview with The Verge yesterday. Sony Mobile first wants to establish a strong foothold in Europe and Japan before putting all their effort in breaking the US market.
[Xperia Z General] darth5zaft:
Sony through it FB had comferm both would be available in Malaysia.

Does anyone know would it support HSPA+ 42mbps like nexus 4 does?

As of LTE, only Z would support it. Just like currently only V have it but TX does not. (yet there are selling at the same price)

[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
Never heard of Clove. Are they a UK retailer and reputable?

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

How much are they selling it for?
[Xperia Z General] tilal6991:
Clove are a UK retailer and they're miles more expensive than other companies usually but they get products up for preorder earlier.
[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
Gonna get it through o2-UK as an upgrade. Reckon it will be cheaper/that's a good idea?

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Interesting post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36490666&postcount=2775 By the way, based on what this guy said and from the reading up I've been doing both on xda and elsewhere, I'd dub the Xperia ZL as the "Xperia Z Lite" (Xperia Z (L)ite) :P
[Xperia Z General] :
Attempting to sell my XT on Amazon...

Xperia Z just looks far too good to miss out on!
[Xperia Z General] kunjar:
I've just seen the official youtube video for the Sony Xperia Z and without doubt it is the most elegant and beautiful handset on the market today. Sony has a winner! Was considering upgrading to a galaxy s3 from my galaxy s, but dislike the cheap tacky korean plastic. I just hope the Xperia Z is available on Orange UK without their bull**** bloatware.
[Xperia Z General] Maximus999:
Get it from EE? They have much less bloatware.
[Xperia Z General] kunjar:
I don't want to sign up to a 4G contract, as i think the price and speeds are pretentious. Would prefer to renew my contract on 3G with this device but im open to the possibility of shifting to 4G depending on the price of the plan.

Just found some sample video footage shot with the Xperia Z camera. Must say the sound is stunning!

[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
My mum got her xperia t from t mobile a 2weeks ago and it is totally unbranded. no bloatware atall.
[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
Get it from o2, I'd say. Their prices are always reasonable in relation to whatever you want in your contract.
[Xperia Z General] goothu99:
so only the ZL is LTE capable? i think this version is coming to canada
[Xperia Z General] AK4TAY7BEN:
I'm still a junior member so i can't post links but i read that sony's new ui is supposed to be even lighter to help with faster updates.

Also on youtube search for gizmoslip xperia z vs zl and you will find a little information about the ir blaster on the zl :)
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
The Z and ZL are both LTE compatible but they use different radios. The ZL has the LTE radios for Canada.

That doesn't make sense. A lighter skin doesn't determine how fast an update comes out. Their skin is just as heavy as previous iterations.
[Xperia Z General] Till-Kruspe:
Hmmm...what phone at 3:00???

[Xperia Z General] MissionImprobable:
Can't wait to see more. As of now I want to buy the crap out of this phone. :p
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Still doubt that it will affect update time. We'll see I guess.
[Xperia Z General] lukesjeans:
Idk if this effected updates but timescape made updates slow on the x10 ....since its gone I assume that will help
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
They've replaced Timescape with Socialife in the Z, but it doesn't take center stage like it did before. But I don't think it affected updates.
[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
Any screenshots/pictures from your hands-on of this?

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

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] DdcCabuslay:
Lol i wish I had hands on

But if you watch any videos where they scroll through the app drawer you will see Socialife. I'm 99% sure. I'll try to find one and post it here.

EDIT

Found a video. Not the best but near the end you can see the Socialife app on the last page of the app drawer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv7kNO_gH4E&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Also for my fellow Canadians I just found out that the Xperia Z will be coming to Canada alongside the Xperia ZL.

WHAT :eek: :D

While the Sony Xperia News Twitter account was answering questions one of their answers to a tweet was that the Z ans ZL are coming to the Great White North. I didn't see this when it happened because I was watching the vergecast. I wonder if it's false and mistaken info though...
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Not a very helpful screenshot but here you go.
[Xperia Z General] Amritttt:
Hey I've never used any xperia phone ever so i don't know and are xperia dev frirndly devices and will there be nfc file transfer like Galaxy s3 and note2?

I am really willing to buy and recommend this device to my friends.
[Xperia Z General] Gitaroo:
One of the highlight of Sony press at this year CES is the one touch nfc functions for sharing so I cant imagine its nfc function be any worse than S3 or note 2. They even said they release the most nfc devices or the leader of nfc of something like that.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
i found it.

[Xperia Z General] lukesjeans:
Thank you! Man I wish I kept arc and didn't get galaxy.....now I cant get z :(
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Nice. Where did you get the screenshot?
[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
As I said, I went to the o2-UK store yesterday and they said they'll have the Sony Xperia Z in February. They took down my details to register my interest in it. I also asked to hold the SG S3 because it's similar in size to the Sony Xperia Z, and I did think it was a little wide in my hand but then I remembered the Z is supposed to feel slightly smaller/thinner etc. By the way, my main question to you guys is do you think they'll update the Sony Xperia Z to Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie when that is released by Google? If not would the then CyanogenMod 11 work on the device at all even??
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
By pressing power+volume down on the device :)
[Xperia Z General] lukesjeans:
Hey, I've seen you here before ;). What one you have?
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Z as stated in my signature ;)
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
SYSTEM DUMP

Please? :)
[Xperia Z General] lukesjeans:
Sorry....I don't see it aha....hope you can give us info in the future. :)
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Does this "social life" have a widget?

I really use Twitter on Timescape on my T.
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Guys I can provide usage info etc but for the time being I can't provide a system dump. I'm sure you understand why.
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Partially, but system dumps don't contain identifyable information.
[Xperia Z General] nightwing369:
what's the best battery life then that you got out of the Sony Xperia Z (with and without the ''Battery STAMINA Mode'') ??Also, do you think they'll update it to Android 5.0 (Key Lime Pie) shortly after Google's release of that/reckon CyanogenMod 11 (Android 5.0) would work on the device??
[Xperia Z General] Till-Kruspe:
Upload the wallpaper won't hurt a bit right?...
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
I can't comment on the battery life because firstly I use an email intensive app which totally screws with the battery life of every phone and secondly I experiment a lot with the phone which hurts the battery life a lot. But it still lasts one full day so I'll say they've done a good job on this area. Forgot that the software also has some debugging features enabled with extra logging etc which definitely has an effect on the battery.

In general I have the following comments:

- Big screen but I love the design and the feeling on my hand. Being very slim also helps here.

- Lovely screen, high density surely helps with browsing

- Sound quality is very good, mic quality just fine, I just wish it had 2 speakers instead of one.

- Fast, smooth etc etc etc Full HD doesn't seem to slow down any functions.

- There is a quick settings bar on top with only some fixed quick settings: sound, bt, wifi, data and access to settings menu. You can't hide it.

- There are some Xperia integration features as before, eg facebook, myxperia. Timescape indeed missing, Socialcast is lighter but still buggy.

- Has MSC mode as an alternative to MTP

- The task list soft key also gives you access to small apps

- I don't like the Xperia launcher but I never did :)

Don't have any info if it will be upgraded to 5.0 but hardware wise should be able to handle it. Let's see android 5.0 first though ;)
[Xperia Z General] brangalm:
Thanks for that, appreciate it. Really looking forward to this and ZL. Biggest determining factor for me will be battery life. I work 26 hr shifts with little opportunity to charge and I use my phone a decent amount. Currently I have an SGS2 with a few extra batteries so I just swap em out if need be. But I won't be able to do that with this phone :( but anyways because of the developer community and how much Samsung screws us over, the ZL is looking quite appetizing.
[Xperia Z General] Gregz78:
@gbil a tiny question for you : does it support sdxc ? Have you tested ?
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Ya if you look at the video LitoNi posted you'll see the widget which is 4x4. Looks nicer than Timescape imo.
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Unfortunately I don't have such a card.

[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Do what you can without comprising anything. Even, like TK said, just a wallpaper is fine.
[Xperia Z General] SWFlyerUK:
When's the ZL due for release?

Not showing on the Sony site, but probably a more cost effective alternative for me!
[Xperia Z General] :
My XT is now on Amazon.

I want the Xperia Z sooo much!

If it sells I'll just have to use a crappy Samsung for a while...
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
The ZL won't be released in Europe (aside maybe Portugal) at the first stage. Perhaps later, but we won't be hearing anything about that until at least the Z is on the market.
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
finally managed to upload the default wallpaper from my mobile! :silly:
[Xperia Z General] Norair:
WOW *___* thank u soo much

can't wait till i can say the Xperia Z is mine :D

one question

have seen a lag on this phone???

on the launcher?
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
You think you could do a system dump of it?
[Xperia Z General] Monipeev:
Have you try to share and live wallpapers, if it they are different from our live wallpapers on Xperia T? :)
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Lag??? What is lag? :D

[Xperia Z General] Nepythys:
Maybe you could give us the lockscreen apk to check if it's compatible or if it can be ported to the 2012 xperia line?

It's called UxpNxtLockscreen.apk in my xperia S at least.

[Xperia Z General] jianlinooi:
so 2013 xperia no more timescape? replaced with socialise app?
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Yep. Timescape was a Sony Ericsson thing and that ship has sailed. Socialife is a Sony-branded app.
[Xperia Z General] lukesjeans:
I loved timescape's ui but it was useless. Made me buy x10 Lol. hope social life is just as good and better!

I asked Sony if they will open source timescape
[Xperia Z General] jianlinooi:
agreed...someone can make a full review of xperia z? new apps..interface...camera ui...benchmark..:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z General] lukesjeans:
Found out z will not be coming to Canada. My life is over :p wonder what Sony's new ui is called.
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Ya when I found that out I became sad. At least we still have the ZL.

I don't think Sony has a definitive name for their UI at the moment. Probably just Sony UI or something like that.
[Xperia Z General] lukesjeans:
I gotta keep this touchwiz crap for at least another year.....most my time will be at the store playing with it aha....is it true zl has an ir blaster?
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
They had a lot of different names. Timescape UX, UXP, UXP NXT, ... I think internally they still use eDream + version number (the Xperia Z runs eDream 10 at release).
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Yes it is true.
[Xperia Z General] danisariandi:
could you share me full system dump ?
[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
How loud is the loud speaker and earpiece speaker because the ones on the xperia s were good but xperia t is poor.

Also how loud is the audio in headphones, is it louder than the xperia arc/arc s/play for example which so far are the loudest (new sony phones I have heard) the xperia s was rubbish, the xperia t is ok but could be louder.
[Xperia Z General] danisariandi:
Please, give me system dump !:crying:
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
It's already been asked for multiple times. Be patient.
[Xperia Z General] ngvuanh:
I was at Sony booth at CES and noticed that all Sony guys have either Z or ZL.
[Xperia Z General] jatt101:
For those who want the z in Canada can always order it from somewhere else but data functionality will be limited for Rogers or fido because two of the bands are missing, but it will still work nonetheless.
[Xperia Z General] maimaiyeuemthoi1980:
Can you upload all wallpapers in Xperia Z ? Thanks. :victory:
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
It will be part of the system dump. So wait.
[Xperia Z General] maimaiyeuemthoi1980:
Ok man.
[Xperia Z General] gag21:
I don't need a system dump for no just give me defaultthemes.apk
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Did I make the right observation that, if you enable touch sounds, the sound when pressing the virtual keys is now a very subtle, short, high 'ting'-sound instead of Android's default more clicky sound?
[Xperia Z General] Gitaroo:
anyone know if the Xperia phones support the multi window function like note 2 or S3 up coming patch? Or is there any other phone that support it beside Samsung phones? Also does the stock Xperia Video player support mkv etc, does it support window mode like S3?
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Multi-window-mode is Samsung-exclusive.

Stock player supports MKV with most common video codecs (H264/XViD), but AC3/Dolby/DTS-audio is not supported. By default there is no video player on board that works windowed, but I'm sure someone could create a small app that does just that.
[Xperia Z General] lukesjeans:
Still waiting for multi window on my s3 but.small apps on my arc is great. Why limited to one small app at a time tho.... I mean size of screens huge on zl
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
I don't see Small App as a multitasking feature, but more as a help tool. You are talking to someone, and need to quickly covert a currency, use Small App. Is controlling your documents, and need to make a quick account, use Small App. And goes on.

Agree, you could use 2 at the same time at least. The quad core should handle at least 2 easily. I mean, even the 2011 line handle it.
[Xperia Z General] Gitaroo:
I think I read that the multi window kind of comes from W8 or something? Anyway, I hope they do multi window in the near future, that 1080p res would be great for it. I also love the multi screen function in ubuntu.
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Guys once again - and final this time - I can't give the full system dump at this time. We are talking about beta software, debug enabled and I'm pretty sure that nobody at Sony will be happy having an incomplete,debug enabled build at the wild before the release of the device.

Regarding the themes, there are many apks and I'll check what I can do with them, don't forget these are Sony's work-copyright whatever you can call them so again I can't just share anything. I believe that I can at least share the images but I'm reluctant sharing the full apks at the moment.

Now to the camera:

- A bit slow to start the first time, probably due to early software.

- Pictures are looking very good, I could upload a few in the following days. Max resolution: 3920x2940

- HDR looks good but slows down the picture taking process a bit, guess to process the photo.

- Burst mode has 3 resolutions, 3920x2204, 1920x1080 and 1280x720. At the first I got about 4-5 the first burst but then slowed down. Pictures where good though.

- Haven't tested the video yet!

- There is a picture effect mode that presents you with a 3x3 grid of 9 different filters live!
[Xperia Z General] lee480:
Ok. :)

Just asking if you can share UxpNxtLockScreen.apk and Home.apk. Thanks :)

[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
Z/ZL is pretty crazy.

wonder why ZL has a bit higher score than Z. O.O
[Xperia Z General] Norair:
sony xperia z had higher scores in Antutu...about 20000

maybe its the old antutu version. 3.0.3v is the actual one now
[Xperia Z General] superwoosh:
Because benchmarks are often inaccurate and inconsistent. It's better to base performance on personal usage rather than on benchmarks. Just wait until the phone is released. :)

Xperia Z drop test

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=OBNEEE-O_J4#t=116s

Z and ZL rumored US price is around $ 850 . That is not very affordable and a lot more than other phones.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Nice to see Z beeing durable this way.
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
In Europe (Belgium and the Netherlands at least) it's retailing for €629. I think that for a phone of this level this is actually okay. The Xperia Z packs a lot more features and build quality than past Sony flagships. Compared to other flagship phones the difference isn't all that big either. The One X and S3 both started at around the same price point. A nice thing about Sony handsets is that they usually drop in price quite quickly after release.

And there are still rumours of a smaller phone with very similar specs to be released at MWC. That one will probably take over Sony's usual €500 flagship price point.
[Xperia Z General] dachao:
Usually if a phone is €629 in Europe it ends up costing $ 650 in America because there is no VTA and lower taxes.
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Well, Sony said before, they're not targeting the US market this time around. They first want to establish a strong consumer base in Europe and fortify their position in Japan before entering the US market with a bang. That's also the reason why they don't have carrier deals (aside maybe AT&T or T-Mobile later on) so far.
[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
@Gbil, can u state if the loud speaker and earpeice is louder than xperia s and defo louder than xperia t.

also is the audio as loud as xperia arc/s, PLAY.
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Hya Gbil, thanks for sharing info with us!

Is there any way to use the power button as a shutter key on the Z? Also as you've offered to upload camera samples, please upload as many as you possibly can with different lighting situations. Indoor/outdoor, that sorta stuff. If you also happen to have other high end phones, maybe even do a comparison?

How would you rate the speaker on the Z compared to any other phones you've used?
[Xperia Z General] Amritttt:
Is the loud speaker volume louder than sgs3
[Xperia Z General] Gitaroo:
you forgot to add India, I think also a lot of under develop countries. Smart phones are actually a very popular trend in those countries, they are expensive but just enough so a person that work at a factory or labour has enough money to buy one (low-mid end, thats why Sony and samsung release a lot of those). They are not like computers or other home electronic that are much more expensive and stationary, they are almost like a fashion thing for them to carry around.
[Xperia Z General] bustervic:
Does anyone know if they put the proper 3.5 jack in unlike the S ?

I think they changed the voltage on it since?
