Well thank you. I just feel that its a degrading double edged sword to call someone or something a girl or gay as an insult. You did not use both, but they fall in the same category. Its pretty much making people to be either a real person or a joke depending on their gender or preference which is completely and utterly false

Because statements like that are the only crap you can see for the past couple days. Go back a few pages and all you will see is people whining about Samsung fans while name calling and bashing. Since ive been posting I have not made or seen such a comment on the reverse side. Sony fans seem to jump on, bash, and troll anyone who even mentions Samsung. Even if its to the topic and not insulting. Even if its from people that like both. Its been getting knarly like that in many forums

People like you are just pests, for God sake the phone hasn't even been launched yet and your stating the S4 beats all!

So what if you lick your Samsung badge every night we don't care! :D

It's gonna happen in all forums, Sony fans will bash Samsung fans, Samsung fans will bash Sony fans, HTC fans will bash Sony fans, Sony fans will bash HTC fans, Samsung fans will bash HTC fans, HTC fans will bash Samsung fans... The list goes on!

Each to their own I say, I like all manufactures they all bring something to the table, yes Samsung have the edge with Android now fair play to them, I've owned both the S3 and Note 2 and I can say the S4 and Note 3 will both be amazing devices... It's just they won't be for me, yet it's not that I won't like them.

I made a change this year I went for the Sony XZ, it easily does everything I want and more, I love it and I will try and stick with this one for a year....(though I say that with every device lol) and even though I knew the HTC One was coming out and the S4 also, but i need to calm my addiction down!

The missus and I have got a baby due in October, so I need to calm down, plus this video sold me the XZ :D

This is true, but there are well know worse fans to certain companies. And pointing out that there is trolls on all sides as a response to a comment that was pointing out your unjust and random bashing and scapegoating of such actiond does not magically cover it up.

Both the One and the SG4 are going to smoke the Z. Sony's demonstrated once again they're incapable of not botching up a launch or learning from past mistakes.

All high end android.phones released this year will be pretty great more than likely. Its all about user preference, for me not having lte is an absolute dealbreaker, external storage capability and a removal battery are also concerns on.my end. As far as cpu,gpu etc they will.all be plenty powerfull i would think...its all about the end user..i like high horsepower cars, but they have to be muscle cars,others are power junkies like me but maybe they like imports...same with phones.
[Xperia Z General] Darkangels6sic6:
Re: [OFFICIAL]Xperia Z vs Galaxy S4(Mar14) & All Upcoming Phones-Don't start new thre

I hear that. Especially when you are releasing something that's supposed top be top of the line and it's got non removable battery that's exceptionally under powered for being lithium polymer and 16GB noon expandable memory. Very janky. Couple companies did things like that

-would like to know the comparison between xperia z and one x+

-would like to know how heavily modded are their OSes.

- i know htc will get everything in the market. but how about xperia Z? is the market limited?

i would love to get the xperia but if its heavily modded and somewhat limited in terms of google play, system modifications, then i would just go for one x+

Edit:

i just noticed that you guys were talking about the new HTC One. and i thought that was the OneX+. now i would have to go with One.
[Xperia Z General] alnikki25k:
It all comes down to build quality and brand preference. As many have already said, there is plenty power already in the Z's Snapdragon and any more power is welcome but not necessary. Trust me, if processors were more energy efficient than being more powerful, it would do a whole world of good. That said, the Z's battery is pretty long lasting too. So considering these points, you can decide between the Z and any other phone. But I already got the Z and love the build. So happy. :laugh: But the screen is a little poor in terms of the gamma level being set a tad bit high.
[Xperia Z General] i9100g user:
Re: [OFFICIAL]Xperia Z vs Galaxy S4(Mar14) & All Upcoming Phones-Don't start new thre

Exynos octa will be more efficient with cpu too , for gaming most of the time A7 cores will be active(there was a video demonstration where they ran epic citadel benchmark on a LITTLE.big soc and 90% of time A7 cores were active)

Which are way more power efficient compared to A9/s4 pro/A15 cores .

And for gpu it would be better one for gaming, with those high clocks(more raw power too)but another thing worth noting is that PowerVR gpus are also used in iphones and since most games are ported from ios so optimisation problem would be minimal.

Xperia Z build quality is easily some of the best currently out there.

It's UI is also minimal and not intrusive.

The hardware of the Z is also very good, no complaints here.

Stamina mode is excellent if you need a phone that can last for more than 48 hours on standby with minimal use.

Waterproofing is a first for a flagship phone too.

IMO the Xperia Z can easily compete with the HTC One and Galaxy S4 for top position in the smartphone race as they all offer something unique that the others can't
[Xperia Z General] onlinejobwork:
Totally agree sir, for me in XZ there is nothing exclusive or new in terms of software or hardware wise, I have used waterproof phone called Motorola Defy before and I never seen any advantage of it. in year 2000 when I buy my 1st Mobile Motorola T168 and till date my phone never got exposed to water, plus 13 mp camera is no better in quality at all and in the market many phone which I never heard even a name before or tried before but they are even not a flagship but still they can easily beats Xperia Z in terms of screen quality and camera, plus 5" screen which include the on screen button which is taking space so 5" and 4.7" in. screen is practically similar working screen and some application I found in that button disappear but didn't reappear instantly when you need, the most disappointing for Z is its bad viewing angle and slow UI as phone is as capable as others, same problem of viewing angle, hot surface & poor battery life and disappointing camera perforce Sony keep carrying from Xperia S, Xperia T and in Z now, I personally tried this phone placed next to HTC One in-store and I choose HTC One and even any user can pick HTC One for its rocking looks compared to Z but its my personal opinion but I also know others think different and I value every person's opinion according to their needs and ‘point of view’
[Xperia Z General] touch.insanity:
Z

Well I own the Xperia Z and after owning Galaxy's before I am happy with my choice. Ok there are a few issues, very poor speaker (although 90% of the time I use headphones) and if im not using headphones while playing a game on it it really is in a poor position as your finger tends to cover it.

The camera is excellent in good light, have got some great pictures from it but as soon as that light is a 40watt energy bulb in you front room in the evening it struggles. Also using the camera in that low light with a 18 month old daughter that is only learning to move faster everyday don't work either.

Not being able to remove the battery doesn't really bother me, it lasts easily all day for me when im working which includes a 1 hour break of me playing games and watching videos on it. When its in the car playing music its on charge anyway.

Only a quad core 1.5 I hear some people saying. Well I''m sorry but I've not found one app or game that stutters, 2gb of ram helps that along nicely too and there's plenty of devices out there had a great big cpu put in them with only 1gb of ram. I have a Nexus 7 which is great but that quad core 1.3 needs 2gb of ram behind it. So anyone can really tell me why they need an 8 core cpu in a phone I'll be happy to listen.

I really like the water prove feature as well, I have a tendency to using my phone out doors in the great British rain and now I don't have to try using it under my coat or wiping it off every 5seconds. And now I can take my daughter swimming and get videos in the pool of her so I can send them to her nan the other end of the country to see.

So overall i'm happy with it, the SGS4 sounds like a beast and no doubt it will be a killer of a phone but then I also had to take into account the contract I would have ended up on just to own one. I'll give the Sony Xperia 8 out of 10 and yes I do recommend this phone to my friends.
[Xperia Z General] Darkangels6sic6:
Re: [OFFICIAL]Xperia Z vs Galaxy S4(Mar14) & All Upcoming Phones-Don't start new thre

Its not 8 core. Its dual quad. Four a-15 cores that have just about the best available performance and switches to four a-7 cores to work the lesser tasks. Only one set of cores runs at a time to get the best of power and save power. But I agree water proof is great and we could only hope others will include and the z is great. Might not be best but beautiful

[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
By no mean is the Xperia Z a bad phone, i think its a good phone. I don't think however that it is special. Like someone else just said, the waterproof feature is the only thing that "stands out". I have owned cell phones since 1999, i never dropped my phone in any kind of liquid, water, mud, toilet, sync, you name it. A waterproof phone is cool but it isn't a big deal at all. So once you get passed the Xperia Z excellent build quality, what makes it unique and worth spending 700+ $ over the HTC One or the soon to be announced Galaxy S IV? What phone features are going to be useful on a daily basis? Is the battery life good enough? Is sound quality the best? In my opinion i don't think it is as good as people say it is nor as bad as people say it is. It a good phone, that's it, nothing revolutionary.

[Xperia Z General] Teknohtc:
My thoughts so far:

(4days)

PROS:

-WATER/DUST RESISTANT NEED I SAY MORE!!! :D

-Excellent Build! very nice looking and thin :D

-Wifi is really good (i live in an old house and on the third floor still get good wifi strength)

-5" Screen is really good! When you get great HD wallpapers (zedge or backgrounds HD) it really pops.

-Micro SD slot BIG + :D (takes 64GB when formatted)

-Good ringtones and notifications

-Strong vibration

-Nice U.I (some lag but switched to NOVA Laucher)

-When combined with Nova Launcher this phone is BEAST!!! :D

-Sounds nice with headphones on (not as good as my S3 w/ PowerAMP)

-GAMES ARE AWESOME!!! :D (Sleepy jack,Tapped out Simpsons,Dark Night)

-Thick lanyard hole (ima wear this as a chain lol)

CONS:

-Walkman doesn't read folders it just puts all the albums into one folder

-Lockscreen either you have a swipe OR lock can't have both :(

-Non removable battery (trade off)

-Can't choose lockscreen wallpaper when pattern is chosen (only in swipe) :(

-Album puts everything in one folder (i use Quickpic)

-Sony services run in the background (may contribute to battery drainage)

-Blacks are no where as good as Samsung's SAMOLED (on the flip side higher pixel density and colors that pop)

-PowerAMP doesn't sound as good as Walkman :( (would rather use Walkman for it's sound but, no folders means a pain to search especially, when you got 45GB worth of music)

-Speaker on the side WHY!!! :(

-Android 4.1.2

NEUTRAL:

-Battery has been good so far, time will tell (DS battery saver on slumberer mode + Stamina ON = 3hrs 50mins screentime and 11hrs 30mins for the day 100%-1%)

-Camera first impressions OK need more time with the camera

-Gets dirty really fast

*I then used the screen protectors that came with the XZ and doesn't get dirty with lint anymore just finger prints but, i ordered these protectors: http://dx-box.com/imak-anti-fingerprint-layer-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z.html

Though it has been only four days since i got the phone, overall, I am very happy with this phone! Most of the CONS are software based and in time there would be MOD's,hacks,etc to fix them.Extremely well built phone with a premium feel that's what i wanted! Although, there is one thing i wanted on this phone,a removable battery, but, when you get a water/dust resistant smartphone with a MicroSD slot, it's a sacrifice that i will gladly live with! :D Still have my S3 got a plan to swap for a s4 when it comes out.Will play with the XZ and s4 and will choose which one to sell.
