strange... under "Features"->"Processor" it shows LTE/4G

but under Specifications the White Paper links to C6602 (which is HSPA+)

may be someone who has bought it in India can confirm which model is being sold here...
[Xperia Z General] T0Tal_N00b:

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

A question to all indian owners of the SXZ.

Is the default browser on your phones Google Chrome? Is stock browser also available on your phones? If not, can it be downloaded and adb pushed as a system app?

Replies welcome!

Xperia Z available at Alfa, Irla, Mumbai

So the Xperia Z will be available at Alfa store located in Irla, Mumbai tomorrow afternoon.

It will be available for 37k or 38k and with the 16gb card, headphones and the premium case.

My question is, the official website says it'll be out in stores only by the 12th. So,

1: Should I expect prices to drop by 1k or 2k more when it comes out on the 12th in all other stores?

2: Should I expect all the free stuff even after the 12th or is it only for initial/limited stocks?
[Xperia Z General] mksreenath:

Yes, Sony India warranty. You will get a bill with it. And the warranty card stamped by the retailer. This is not a gray market piece. :good:

[Xperia Z General] AndroidFreud:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Where are you getting this 38,000/- deal from?

Anyway, I've been thinking about it & anticipating this phone for months now. I'm trying to buy it in Chennai but there doesn't seem to be much activity coming from here about it. Seeing that it's only available from the 12th I'm guessing the dates been forced to make Max usage of opening sales before the release of the S4 shortly after. Thinking of waiting just a week more and see what the S4 specs are like (but I love Sony's design over crappy plasticky Samsung's so no second thoughts there) but more importantly, hope with the S4's release the Z's price will fall a little once it's announced or hopefully they at least increase the freebies or something to compete with the industry's biggest competition! :P
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
Deal is back !

Indiatimes deal is back.:good:Use code FLASH0903 :D
[Xperia Z General] karun11:
According to Sony stores in Delhi, the Z will be priced around 35k. Sony has reduced the prices of all its handsets in India recently. They've realized India is one of the few markets its doing very well, so a price correction has been made to ensure it continues to do well. So according to me, 36.5k MRP, street price 35k. March 2nd week release is what I've heard. The ZL will come in April.
[Xperia Z General] Bl!GhT:
I somewhat agree with this.

The seller on ebay offering for 44k for sony is way overkill. Sony would never go that high, their product pricing strategy for the Indian market demography does not permit this. Why would anybody want to shell out 9k or 5k more for a product which does not even have warranty in the locality of the buyer.

I dont know about the release dates. But i am pretty sure, sony would retail below 40k.
[Xperia Z General] chaitanya87:
+1. I am somewhat inclined to this beauty. What do you guys suggest?
[Xperia Z General] Bl!GhT:
This was a beauty now its a master piece !!
[Xperia Z General] #illidan:
That's cause your not making a local purchase which has been supplied by Sony . It's an import so technically its grey market warz which is obviously going to be more expensive. Anything around 35k is a good price point but again there are a lot of other factors to consider than "the Indian market is doing well for Sony".

If it is indeed true that the ZL would be releasing in April then that sucks because the phone is already 6 months behind on the SOC part & which the SGS4 being announced then Sony can forget additional sales.

[Xperia Z General] AayushDhuria:
even if it comes with octa core processor, it'll use only 4 at a time :P those are just for battery saving
[Xperia Z General] #illidan:
People are saying that the screen had improved a lot. From what I've read people have said that its got a decent 160° viewing angle in all directions if the brightness is kept at normal viewable levels.

All the videos you see have the brightness cranked up to max which gives it a washed out looked when viewed from anywhere but straight on which isn't really fair when making a comparison because that isn't a real world use scenario but I will still need to go hands on with the device when it is released to judge for myself how are the viewing angles before I make a purchase because videos or pictures aren't substitutes at all for your eyes.

[Xperia Z General] Cookie Ninja:
Indiatimes has a very poor track record in customer satisfaction....

IMO, a better deal would be from a Phone vendor in your town who can reduce the price further to 36k/35k. Freebies presently offered cost less (google cost of headset, and the so-called 'Premium Case' is not so premium). Spend the gains you accrue as the price difference in a dock... Profit!!!:good:
[Xperia Z General] slimshaddy.:
just wait for 3 more days and probably all local shops will get the stocks as well. big stores sell on MRP and small shops often reduce the prices.

i think prices will only drop after the s4 launch in india , maybe in may.

Welcome Xperia Z, Bye Bye X10i

Hi All,

Got my Xperia Z from Mobile Store. First customer in Kolkata as per them. They took some pictures stating will be updated on Mobile store and Facebook. Later on that part.

Mobile is Awesome.... This handset is lighter... First impression : Blown away..... Screen is amazing.... There are some new applications in Z. One lets you see 4 videos together. One is Sony Liv... this has all the serials etc.. telecasted on Sony free. Screenshots of all the apps listed below..

While I was uploading the pictures, PC companion is stating there is new update for my Phone / Tablet... WOW...... Will check later on that.

Will Update as soon as possible....

Regards,
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
yup same here...

got an update on SEUS...

flashing it now... will create FTF for later :D
[Xperia Z General] buBleZ:
Ok, So I visited sony center today (100ft Road, Indiranagar, bangalore) as the stocks and demo unit were available. I played with the demo unit for quite sometime and here are my impressions.

Good:

1. The phone is beautiful to look at from all sides.

2. Gives a premium feel on hand and so light in weight

3. Absolutely smooth navigation and interface.

Just ok:

1. The camera was decent for indoor shots.I tried HDR and other modes. Nothing spectacular

Bad:

1. The screen looked good initially at first look but then I noticed the brightness was set to full. I set it to adaptive brightness mode and the screen looked really washed out. Another person who was demoing the unit said his sony xperia s has a better looking display than this. So the screen is meeting my expectations only at full brightness which is not practical. Mind you this is indoors then you can imagine how worse it will be outdoors . From side angles yes there was considerable color and brightness shift but not a major issue

2. Next the speakers. The showroom was not silent at the same time it was not very loud. I played some trailers and songs that were present on the phone. When I hold them at a watchable level I cannot hear the audio clearly and loud enough. Big letdown. I am sure in a busy place I won't be able to hear incoming calls.

Before anybody thinks I am a harsh critic I pre-ordered this phone several days back and I am now thinking what to do with the 1K that is stuck in the sony center.

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Guys got my Xperia z about 3 hours ago.

The device is awesome.

1. Screen viewing angle is very good. I don't know why everyone on internet complaining about it.

2. Screen is fantastic.

3. Very high premium feel.

4. My full hd video on sd card plays flawlessly. It used to get struck if I seek it in s3.

5. Cool to have ample amount of memory. Enjoying the android multitasking to fullest level.

Need to test:

1. Audio quality

Disadvantages when compared to s3:

1. Very Weak loloudspeaker

2. Disappointing call audio levels. Impossible to talk in traffic.
