The Only thing I don't like about Sony is that, they kill their Flagship device soon. Just Like ARC S, Xperia S. Rather releasing so many devices one by one, they should stick up with the updates properly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fareeed:
I'm not 100% sure whether it will have 4G or not, the chip set is identical to the Optimus G which is, so it's possible I guess. Unless they release 2 models like the T and TL. I live in the UK and we only just got 4G plus it's expensive so I'm not too bothered.

Although Sony have release many devices, they've really only became independent since releasing the J, V and T. I do know what you mean though, but apparently with Jelly Bean, Sony is updating the S to a 3.4 kernel so that should make things like development a lot quicker. :)

Maybe they will release them in Japan and then a few months later in the states. And another delay for Europe. Does not matter much to me if it arrives in may though. At that time I'll just be arriving back in sweden. And here in east africa they might hit the stores somewhere next christmas...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ssj_jaypee:
nice hands on!

I'm still a little disappointed that the phone is using the same processor that is in the nexus 4 and droid dna which have been out for awhile already.

battery life might be questionable too. would've been nice to have a bigger battery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ssj_jaypee:

Does anyone know the battery capacity, I know it's non removable

Update: Haha never mind
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Well have to say I like it but the ZL sure is more pleasing to the eye. Both should be very good devices. I did notice from the screen shot of the Z a few post up that the launcher now has number of screens options as it only shows 3 dots. Still seems Sony has kinda held back though as both devices don't really bring anything super cool to the table.

I'm torn now, they really like it a lot, maybe more than the Z.

Both phones are amazing, depends on what design you prefer.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Again not enough reasons to pull me away from my Ion. Now I will say that one of these will be my next device unless Sony drops a Nexus device. Besides I have learned my lesson and will buy a unlocked version the next go around. So it will be a while before I am ready to shell out that kind of money.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepgunnam:
Hardware good but...

What about the OS? Sony has a very bad record of updating the version of Android as well as stuffing my phone with bloatware I don't want. Only good thing with Sony is they make it very easy to unlock the bootloader and fiddle with custom roms.

To the point though, these phones look gorgeous. :)

its not about to release a new phone and forget about it !! how to upgrade to a new phone if we have the same story with every phone :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] librelinux:
OMG even when Sony brings out an amazing phone that finally kicks all the goals needed, people find something to complain about. Can't everyone see that Sony has been slowly progressing and learning step by step from the Xperia S/Acro S, T/V and now Z?

I think they should be applauded for heading in the right direction with their hardware. Maybe they might attract the interests of Google enough to build a Xperia Nexus.

Yes software updating is slow, but they are the best OEM for developers. They make it easy to flash a custom rom and help out those building them!

My Xperia S with CM10 walks all over most other people's phones.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Xperia Z:
If only I had an OLED screen :(

that would have just made this phone..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Geeve:
I like the Z, 100% my next Xperia phone.

Also the screen is "not" 5", but actually around 4.7 because of the on-screen virtual buttons.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
From what I have seen the Z is US bound as the name has been registered in the states and the ZL was not. The Z registration showed up a long time ago from a FCC leak.

As for the never ending trolls complaining about updates need to stop. We already know we have one coming very soon. If that is not enough then do us all a favor and find a new device from someone else besides Sony.

And now they are shipping an awesome piece of hardware. What do I care about the stock rom? I'll have the bootloader unlocked in days anyway.

I really want this one...

ZL early March. Z is still under some discussion/negotiation.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] superlimau:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ssj_jaypee:
you're right, it needs to get moving before new phones are announced and people lose interest.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
So the ZL is confirmed and the Z in the air. Kinda odd but hey the ZL looks better I think but still want the Z. I still think Sony still has a card up the sleeve for later in the year. They deserve a shot at a Nexus device I think. As for a release I thought they said it will be on sale by March 1st. I don't see any other new device coming before then except for a couple of the small guys. Now if we could only get them to let us unlock the boot loader. That would be extraordinary lol

Sony is not bringing the Xperia Z to Canada. Only the ZL.

We get shafted again.

It was posted on the official Sony Mobile Canada facebook page.

If they won't release the Z to Canada then they won't get my money. I'm going to buy the Galaxy S4 which will come because at least Samsung supports it's products in all territories.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chocolate Columbo:
I think he is spot on. Sony haven't been great at keeping users up to date with the latest firmware updates. You seem to be attacking his point with empty words since you are using CM10 yourself and admit that their updating is slow, no? I believe that's all he said.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sirence:
The Xperia s was only 300 euro here, I bought it 3 months after it was first sold in stores here.

The Xperia t was the most expensive Sony phone here ever, with 500 euro, and I think the zl might be in that range too, but surely not 700 $?

Maybe you should import your phones if they are so expensive where you live.

Sorry out of subject

but it is realeted to Ces so can any one explain to me that 8 cores crazyness to samsung glaxy 4. How would that compare to xperia z since will that make any diffrence in android.Is android actually able to ultize all of this power,Of course not this is just a benchmark war. I will only understand point of samsung view if they put ipad 3 screen resolution in 5 inch screen 2048-by-1536 and and 4k decoder in side. Then maybe you will be able to use all of this power

Usually I utilise 60-70% of xperia s 1.7ghz cpu.

All this power, I wounder about the battery and heat issue even our xperia s sometimes are warm,

In relation to this may be wrong comparison but my i7 -3970x 6-core cpu are busy enough only if i use cad related work so I dont thing there will any application to 3d Computer-aided design for android to ulitise all of this 8 core ?

or is that just marketing?:confused:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] katamari201:
The camera looks good but I can't really get past Sony still not using a real IPS display on their flagship phone....in 2013. It's washed out looking with poor viewing angles and contrast. Quite a few reviewers have commented on it in fact (e.g. TheVerge, TechRadar, etc.) All other companies have moved on to either AMOLED or IPS, except for Sony, which is really sad since they have a reputation for good displays but apparently their phones have fallen through the cracks even though phone sales are increasingly the bread winner of large corps like samsung and apple, but Sony refuses to step it up in such an important aspect of the phone.

Poor viewing angles? The Z should have great viewing angles and in reviews screen quality is good :)

Personally, with a full HD resolution I don't think you need amoled or IPS, Amoled isn't really better, but IPS is. But Sony has nice screen quality most of the time. If you watched the XDA review of CES they say the screen is good :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sfkaudi:
Sorry but anyway who look at the screen from the side and who want the sideman / person to read your message or email with you.

And when you ask for permission to look something on the phone they normally stick the phone up to your face

So who cares!!!!

I don't

Edit the Xperia z is just perfect for me:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] madmack:
looks like the only way to get LTE on AT&T is via the C6506. In other words, only the ZL will provide LTE access. Let's just hope they sell it unlocked and no bootloader restrictions so we can start hacking.

Sony ZL in Europe ?

I like the ZL because its smaller then the Z.

As I know only the Z will come to europe, so I'm looking for an alternative way to catch one.

Is it possible to use a Australien ZL in Europe (Germany) ? :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrBelter:
The ZL is the one i would go for as well if it was available, its is only just slightly bigger than the S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chocolate Columbo:
Yes, ZL appeals to me too... Moreso than the Z anyway. Eyes wide open!

This will undoubtedly support OTG. Sony, as much as we like to rag on them for being slow with updates, do seem to keep such niche areas covered.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Amoled sucks, but I would love to see an IPS display from Sony, still Sony displays are really damn good, only problem is viewing angles. I have never understood the complaint though because who holds their phone at an awkward angle when using it. Seems trivial to complain about.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ambroos:
I don't know how many times we have to say this but Sony's phones have been using IPS displays for ages, but because of licensing and a slightly different production method they can't actually call it IPS. The viewing angles aren't that bad either.

How can you see if it is IPS or a regular TN panel? With a TN panel the colours change significantly under even slight viewing angles. Blacks become whiter and whites turn pink or blue or another colour.

Look at the bottom image here:

THAT is what happens on a TN panel if you look at it under an angle. An IPS panel just washes out slightly, which is what happens on the Xperia's. Some IPS panels do it more than others, but they are still IPS.

So once and for all:

The Xperia Z uses an IPS display. The ZL, T, V, S, ... too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dibdin:
Talking about displays, my S has a yellowish look to it when viewing websites with a white background and yellow gradient at the bottom of the display. Are we likely to see this with the Z, or have Sony got on top of this issue??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] samven582:
Will there be a xperia z with north america LTE?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xiFIL:
Sony included a solution to this, they have a display collaborater, incase this would happen then you could reset the colours back to their state, or make specfic colours more dark and more light, in all, no the xperia Z won't have this problem espically since it has a Full HD 1080P screen with 441 PPI, i mean the viewing angles are not the best, but lucky for myself it doesn't bother me one bit, as a matter of fact its a bonus for me, hinders anyone viewing what i am doing on my phone from prestigious angles

I just rooted my phone yesterday and after that, I got this annoying problem.

Every time I boot my phone, there's this yellow triangle with an exclamation mark under Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.

I see nothing wrong with my phone except that it drains battery quickly. I just flashed Ultimate N7000 XXLSC JellyBean today and it's still there.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Ok, this has been covered here many times. Samsung has built a binary counter on their devices to detect unofficial software flashed. That is why, you have to flash via mobile Odin and root with Philz Kernel on stock recovery to avoid that.
