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

Screen time ??

Today I also see xperia z good screen

But some lag on it

Camera is looking good

Some people telling s3 screen is not good

last year best screen on s3

Don't compare it with 1080p screen

Amoled is best for sun light viability

Amoled have .best colors

Compare LCD screen with amoled wait for s4

[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
i asked the sales rep about the vodafone 3g plan he wasnt clear in his answer but said something of a 500 rs 3g pack. I asked him about the 8gb as Doom said and he told me he hasnt been updated on it but if its there i will get it as i start the phone with a vodafone sim.
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:

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

Possible...

Do keep in mind though that most buyers don't even know what is "jellybean"... Of those who do know, very few know about XDA/rooting.... Even if some do know most won't mod their device too much...

Point being, don't judge the popularity of the device based on the number of users/posts on XDA...

Always use protection for the back.;)

Sorry,I couldn't resist. There are screen guards for both front and back in the box. If I were you, I'd use it.
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:

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

Ya. I was about to ask this question.

The box piece is applied with front and back covers, back cover showing how to insert SIM and all. Remove them and u see a screen guard applied already. If we observe at the earpiece we can easily figure it out.

So no need to apply any screen guard. Out of the box start using it. :)

Agree with u on this. Coming from s3 I see that Siyah kernel has covered audio of s3. Call audio, headphone audio and loudspeaker all are tunable and modifiable/amplifiable without cracking the audio.

Hoping DoomsLord kernel would do the same and save us Xperia users. Or sony might correct it in a software update. But who will tell Sony that it screwed up on the sound big time.!!

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

I have no complaint except screen viewing angles and low call volume. It's Been 2 days with this beauty. Never saw even slight lag, don't know what some people are saying.
[Xperia Z General] sachinaik:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

I strongly suggest not to buy this phone.

The earpiece volume is so low that it's useless to carry this phone when outside. Headphone vol is ultra quiet. Now I've to carry two phones :@

S3 for listening to music and use as a phone.

XZ for browsing navigation n multitasking and for show off.

I'm disappointed with Sony.

[Xperia Z General] alnikki25k:
I haven't had any of those problems. The earpiece is crystal clear for me and the headphone volume is just right. Try another demo phone to see if you feel the same way and it's not just your phone.

[Xperia Z General] SwordSharp:
Dont spread Wrong information!!

I am using Xperia Z since 2 days.

Headphone "Ultra" Quiet? You gotta be kidding. Do you want to blow your ear drums?

Yes, earpeice volume is a bit low, but its NOT "useless" as such very decent still.

For you it seems the funda is - If its not BEST then its straightaway CRAPPY.

What can I say about a person who carries two phones "S3 for music and phonecalls" and other for showoff....lol:)
[Xperia Z General] buBleZ:
Exactly my thoughts after I played with the phone at a demo store for 30 minutes. In such a costly phone basic features like incall volume, speaker volume cannot be below average.
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
XZ

i just tested the device myself... put against Ion and SL which were also there... camera is not exceptional but is good ( if u dont crop too much.. )

so many people reported lag when camera was opened directly from lockscreen.... nothing like that on the unit i had...

dealmaker : it is so much light and cool i just held it and i was already getting a feel that it is so light that it wont break when dropped... ion was heavier with smaller dimensions... omnibalance design is really good ... i never seemed to drop it even when i used it with one hand...

neutral :

1. Flaps quality... i am not sure what will happen to them after a year but were solid.

2. Viewing angles... well i was surprised... i expected them to be so much worse... first thing i did was change background... and they were actually good... people seem to have some myth with grey color (assumed to be black) that Sony used... also no bluish tint that some people reported... color reproduction is good.

dealbreaker : loudspeaker volume ... it is so bad (not bad actually very low i should say)... let me tell u i have had smartphones from last 5 years... started with symbian n now android... never seen such low level volume :( ... when i played default track which sony gives with phone .... sound of ion was significantly more.... about 35% more... and i dont know which device to compare with XZ in terms of volume... even at 100% it wasnt convincing...

Decision : I decide to wait for a ZL unit... if sound is significantly more i will get that .... i like both designs... if sound is same i will stick to XZ only.... coz i already eliminated Sammy and HTC from past experience.
[Xperia Z General] SwordSharp:
Myths about Xperia Z

Lot of people are saying lot of things (mostly exaggerated), i thought i share my UNBIASED opinion based on experience with Xperia Z which I have been using since 2 Days now.

Screen - Yes, the screen dosent have the best viewing angles. BUT, its still more than usable, most users wont care about it

and is SUPER SHARP, and colors are STILL VIVID.Contrast is a bit low but it is NOT as bad as people are trolling on forums.

These same people accept Over saturated AMOLED pentile display of S3. May be people where expecting too much! This is still one of the BEST Screens currently available. Go check it out for youself!

Lag - Some people claim to see lag on this phone, I have not seen a hint of Lag, trust me, i tried my best to spot very hard, i could perceive

some micro lag , after intense effort to spot it...lol...i dont consider that worthy of a mention forget a troll.

Battery - it is continously improving with each charge, it on par with most android phones

Low Call volume and volume in headphones - Yes, its on the lower side, but I have used many phone with similar volume levels.

GO, see the phone for yourself!! And then make a purchase decision! Dont go by what some people say, as for many Screen will be a dream come true, headphone volume will be more than sufficient.

Its a Winner all the way, check out reviews for Worlds top sources like GSMARENA, Stuffmagazine, Cnet, Engadget, Android Authority, and many many more , all wont lie to you!

Guys, if anyone of you felt that you missed the indiatimes deal, there's one right back and it stays for 3 days! Believe me you ppl gonna love this as it offers a whopping 15% discount for ALL mobiles and tablets FLAT! Yes, you read it right. It's applicable for all mobiles though. :D

Now Z with an official price tag of 38990 gets a discount of mind boggling 5000 and final price is 33990 (Very sweet) with all freebies!

Now ZL with an official price tag of 35990 gets a discount of same 5000 and final price is 30990 with freebies!

And now for the site itself, trust me guys, they might be lacking in shipping speed dept but they can be recommended as I have bought many products from them and never have regretted! Problems arise in every retailer flipkart, ebay, snapdeal etc!

So make use of the deal who's certainly low on budget :)

Honestly i don't see any reason to order online, everyone is giving away the Case and headphones, it is printed on the box. You can easily get 500-1000 rupees discount on any shop, buy your 16 gb card from that money, if i was you, i would have cancelled my order two days back and have had the phone already.

Until ofcourse the phone will not be available in your city soon.
[Xperia Z General] slimshaddy.:
i think the xperia L and the SP right. i'm more inclined towards the ZL for now. i don't know when ZL will arrive at stores. will compare them and then make a decision.

If not, ll be very very very disappointed!

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

C6602 is the hspa version, whereas C6603 is the LTE version. Due to commonality between ROMs for both models, the LTE option will be there, but cannot be enabled for want of hardware (LTE radio).

Well i know it's under processing and i can see that info right from my orders page (am not dumb enough to call them and ask and get a 'it's processing' reply). We people call customer service so that they might know some info to help us out, but these people never do (all customer reps out there including those working at retail shops) care to learn or ask anything (They will never be)!

Even though if i cancel now, it ll take another a week for refund which is almost insane (got over in dead end!) Flipkart, on the other side is even causing more probs for pre-orderers!

Loudspeaker is tad better in ZL. Infact played a video song both on Z & ZL and was pleased at the loudspeaker of both. Also ZL is much comfortable to hold in comparison. So those who dont want to talk while in Shower and use the phone to beat people can save $$ and go for ZL

Wait till the stock of freebees get over. Price will go down further by atleast 1-1.5K more just for that.

One thing for sure. For the kind of money they are charging should have got a better screen (viewing angle issue is prominent). Slightest change in viewing angle has effect, but interestingly it was not as bad while watching Video. Hmmm Confused

NEWS OF SIBLINGS - Xperia SP and L to be launched in Russia by March 19th. Sony seems all geard up this year.
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
The same here! Still IN STOCK in infibeam but they refuse to ship. I have sent 4 mails yesterday but none was replied. Totally fed up! But the price is still the same. Called them again today morning and they said that they are working to get the device shipped soon and told me to be patient. Screw you all! What flipkart done is highly unacceptable, should be complained for sure!
[Xperia Z General] slimshaddy.:
i can understand why you are so furious. it's totally unacceptable. xperia z is available in each and every store now. and flipkart is not shipping the products , maybe just to create further hype.

i think you should check local shops and if you don't have to face any cancellation charges , cancel the order.

the compactness , that's the only reason i will go for the zl :) and i know this for sure even with xperia z people will be reluctant to intentionally drop the phone in water :D

anyways , i will buy the phone in may-june and i believe prices will further go down.

OT - talking about the siblings - i'm thinking of buying xperia SL for my sis. i'm getting it for 22k. and i think SP will replace the SL. so should i buy the phone ? and i think SP will come around 25k god knows when.
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
hey guys i got a chance to test out the headphones which will be offered with this phone...

Sony Headset MDR-ZX100A

this is a new product and look pretty good! the one i tested was white...

but i already have the Sony MDR-XB300 which is so much better ;)
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Thats a great deal! would like to more on ur confirmation.
[Xperia Z General] Kunwar.g:
Me too in the same boat. The reason I do believe on this news is cause Sony has stopped supply of the Xperia S/SL in the market. Some of the large retailers ( Reliance/Chroma/Sony Store) have some in stock.

If SP comes at 25K would wait for it for the S4 processor, new camera sensor ( tested the new sensor of Z & ZL and the White Balance is much better than SL ), more screen space ( the S/SL waste some good space due to transparent strip and Xperia name at bottom ) and lastly expandable memory if you need it.
