Disappointed that they're still using the 'Nature UX' UI design! Was expecting something new.. like a stark, minimalist galaxy/space/sci-fi themed UI instead of a nature one. That would be my dream. The closest thing to that is AOSP

[Xperia Z General] bucho2004:
I think the best feature at the moment, for use, hype, and marketing is Sony's xperia z waterproof feature, far better marketing feature than eye scroll, and better use also,, I think Sony can happily compete with the s4 and HTC one, all my friends , agree xperia z is better than iPhone 5, and most say that if galaxy s4 is ugly and cheap looking, they would rather pick xperia z, literally everyone who's sees it. whether that will be true, well just have to wait and see if galaxy s4 hype will prove me\them wrong. Otherwise.

When I ask about HTC one, most my friends answer "what, who, what?" HTC one sounds and looks like a brilliant phone, however the hype is not. shame because it deserves it like the Xperia z, and more than s4,

ps the nature ui on s4 made me sigh, same way when I saw it on s3, can't believe they haven't changed it, dissappointed, looks so outdated compared to nexus 4 and xperia z

3 GB /+ RAM

MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 2.3 ghz + Adreno 330

I would definitely get this without a second thought. A phablet from Sony is what I've been desperately been waiting for.

As long as the imaging capabilities are excellent in all conditions especially low light I don't care whether is a 5 MP or 13 MP.

Six hours screen on!! How much more do you want? I'm pretty sure if you tweak it with custom kernels, controlling wakelocks & alarms you would be able to squeeze out an extra hour maybe two out.

I had a BAD experience when I brought Note2Lte (N7105), before that I used S3.

Common problem with S3 and Note2LTE (I'd mention at this moment - I'm using stock rom without root)

Battery level drops very fast

Color of screen is too "fatty"... the color shows in pics or movies is totally different with compare other mobile device

Temperature rises up too fast when you talk with someone with a long time...

Suddenly FC with HotBoot

And their CS service is EXTREMELY BAD (I'm a HK ppl)

After I pick my phone to repair, I can't take any call in a low-level reception signal area. (I take my iPhone 4s at the same time, I can talk & browse any website with same carrier) And then I take back to CS again and they just change my antenna without any improvement!:(

So I change my mainly smart phone to Sony Xperia Z now and found my happy back.:victory:

Last, just one comment: if samsung won't fix their "old problem" in any mobile device, I will not choose any samsung mobile anymore.

It will be easily noticeable and no the Galaxy Nexus is not as smooth as the GS3, it might have been when the GS3 was still running ICS but not even close now.

A more accurate example is that the Nexus 4 smokes the Droid DNA in performance, which suggests that the S4 pro might be perfectly good enough for 1280 x 768 but 1080p plus sense 4 definitely puts a strain on it. The Xperia Z has 1080p plus timescape(or whatever it is called now, social life or something) which will also put a strain on the S4 pro.

The Tegra 4, Qualcomm 600/800, and the Exynos 5 Octa have these ridiculously high resolutions and heavy skins in mind. I am sure we will see quite a noticeable difference.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

You can always tell the difference really. The last gen i5 is more than enough but that doesn't make current gen i5 less appealing. There are always advantages.

The s4 pro will use the 4 cores and scale to higher ghz much more often than the newer chips which would lead to more heat and less battery life for example. While the newer more powerful chips would be showing off and using only one or two core for most games and relaxing and sipping juice by the pool. While the S4 pro would be frantically running around trying to play a high end game and gulping down liters of juice.

More power is always good, it lets you do all tasks easier.

Exactly, let's speak facts at least.
[Xperia Z General] mattman83:
SGS4 will be faster no doubt with the quad core A15. Not sold at all on the low power quad core. If you want a low power core, keep it a single core like tegra?!

Either way, no plastic fantastic source-lacking Samsung for me, thanks. I'm fully aware that there will be faster phones by the time the XZ launches, but none of them will give me everything else i want (stuff that I value more than having the biggest e-peen).

M.
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
Re: Xperia Z - Quick Buy or Wait for Galaxy S4 ?

Fair enough.

As far as keep it 4+1 like tegra, unless you like lag I think the quad core A7 is just fine.
[Xperia Z General] Riyal:
for me quad core is already enough... 8 cores is just an overkill I could run a windows 7 PC on a dual core machine in my PC with low to standard games running.

Just wanna ask though if ever you wanna get octa cores what apps/games are the reason why you buy such a beast? Don't tell me you need an octa core for calling? Xperia Z can handle telephony since it has a dedicated chipset exclusively made for only telephony support. Same goes for browsing. With flash gone on latest devices I don't need much power on rendering web pages now.

Or if games... Well Unless they could plan to put games like warhammer, Blade and soul, COD, god of war or any other games I won't be getting any octa cores myself.

But meh! Using your phone to call, text, video call, view websites on HTML5, playing angry birds and temple run won't need any octacores at all. Better go for a 4gb ram phone instead for the sake of multitasking.
[Xperia Z General] mattman83:
But the point is that if you're doing anything intensive it'll switch to the primary quad core anyway. The secondary quad is only for low power/background tasks... but being a quad core it's going to draw more power than needed here. Who ever needed a quad core to manage background sync?!

That's another point worth raising - it's not an 8 core CPU! It's a quad core CPU, with a secondary low-power quad core for when you aren't doing CPU intensive stuff. It switches cores dynamically based on load, however cannot run all 8 cores at once. It's the same as the Tegra 4+1 setup, just that the "+1" is a quad core in it's own right. See comments above re the usefulness of this.

M.
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
Re: Xperia Z - Quick Buy or Wait for Galaxy S4 ?

Its to make sure performance stays lag free while power is being saved. The 4+1 tegra was a joke, I have the One XL which is much more power efficient with the 2 Snapdragon S 4 processors.

I'm guessing those 4 A7 cores will handle things like swiping through home screens, check emails, texting stuff like that. That doesn't require a lot of power, having those 4 cores is meant to do those tasks as efficient and fast as possible without putting to much on the CPU ( like the +1 on the tegra 3 which resulted in lag and not that great performance and most of the time the primary cores were activated due to the lack of power which resulted in bad battery life) . Then when needed to play games, browse web or run benchmarks, the A15 cores kick in and kick a$$.

The end game is for us users to have a seamless experience while using the phone without having to sacrifice battery life.

Re: Xperia Z - Quick Buy or Wait for Galaxy S4 ?

Galax Nexus got Google's software.

According to devs, Sony's software is much cleaner, modifications arent that deep in Android, doesnt have that much bloatware... so its much closer to AOSP.

Can you see photo received in MMS in full size in messaging app? How long it takes to open contacts app on stock TouchWiz? 3 seconds?

But IMO HTC Sense is even worse, so I understand that you see TouchWiz as a step forward.
