Samsung trolls have grown with the popularity, but still now where the same. And if you look back page upon page you will notice Sony fans consistent bashing without reason while calling others the fans. But all sides have unearthly trolls
[Xperia Z General] MafiaManV:
Enjoy your galaxy , and keep telling that to yourself :cyclops: .

You do realize this is all just nitpicking

I really haven't give much tough when i chose XZ. I knew all three are going to have similar performance , amoled is a turnof for me , and i was left with HTC vs XZ.

Took XZ just cause i liked it more .

End of story . I hate this kind of threads

Lol. Funny thing this is z, s4,and other blogs. Who is the blind fan :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
I'm sorry but HTC One and S IV cant be comparable. The XZ cannot compete with them seriously. The screen isn't that great, it has lag, battery isn't great. The one thing it has that the others don't is the waterproof thing. I just don't see myself spending 700 bucks on the XZ when i can get an HTC One with the crazy screen, the stereo speakers and the best design or the S IV with the exynos 5 octa, the super AMOLED HD and all the features for the same price. That's just me though.

To All,

As we have Xperia Z, HTC One & Galaxy S4 real specs - just discuss the devices on the basis of specs and NOT the ugliness of Galaxy S4.

With the same design S3 has mammoth sales figures (more than combined sales of all the Xperias n HTCs in 2012) and I bet millions of people cannot be stupid to buy S3 !!

So if I see again bashing of S4 or others only because its using plastic, I will Close This Thread !!

Get real n discuss about processor, screen quality, software, etc.

Are you selling your Z for S4?
[Xperia Z General] Maedhros:
I agree 100%. However, I think design is something essential to most people.

Screens, processors, build quality; for the average consumer, if the design isn't appealing - they simply wont purchase the an item.

Having a marginally (or more then marginally) faster processor does not make much of an influence on a persons desire. Nor does a screen (as is apparent from the ppl on this forum).

We have people justifying the crap screen on the Z by saying "who looks at a device from that angle" etc. etc.

THAT is the reason I won't touch a samsung device. They are just not appealing to me, even tho I know they are superior (processor, ram, dac, etc.).
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
Millions are stupid-look at Apple, we all agree on that, don't we?

Processor- Fine. Granted, a but faster processor which may or may not give better battery life. Sammy win.

Screen quality- over saturated is worse than washed out; considering that Sony may put in a screen calibration app(its there in the DoCoMo version), we have a winner in the Z.

Software- Samsung's mastery of software is hilarious. According to entropy512, the only thing they're fast at is 'shoveling horse-**** out of the door'. If you don't believe my words, go to the 'expected developers thread' in this general section and read what entropy has to say about stock Samsung and stock Sony. Sony win.

Camera-equal

Graphics- will be better in Samsung. Sammy win

Custom ROM (Aosp & cm)- Big guys are moving out. There will be developers, but quality of ROMs will not be good. Blame Samsung. Sony win.

RAM- Equal.

Design- So you agree that the S4 is ugly, don't you? Every time I touch my iPod, I'm reminded of the design differences in my Galaxy note and the iPod. Even though my iPod cost half of my note. I'm sick of a toy, I paid for a sophisticated piece of tech, it ought to look like it. Sony win.

So, net result Samsung:Sony = 2:3(+1 on aesthetics if you care)
[Xperia Z General] i9100g user:
I have said before that comparison was done with a s4 which had pentile screen but as we can see in the last video screen wss PHOLED (blue subpixel size was bigger , because it degrades faster)

Don't no why you people are still so much whining about screen.

This is the sub pixel layout of s4

There is no need to fight really.

All 4 flagships are at par with each other more or less.

Z, S4, One, Optimus G Pro are all on the same level.

So it's all down to personal preference.
[Xperia Z General] Chillz88:
It isnt at all.. htc one and s4 is.. z isnt anything other than that build

[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
For me, after my hissy fits about the screen protectors on the phone, I have decided i'm keeping the Z. Viewing angles could be better, but aside from that, the phone is as good if not better than anything out there.

Z = Great camera, great screen, low volume, great sound quality, great design. It impresses me more and more every day of use. I think the media handling on the phone is excellent, pulling in all my facebook photo's almost instantly is brilliant.

From what i've seen of the S4, and knowing Amoled screens, which I hate with a passion now i've no longer got an S3, it's nothing special. The new features I would turn off, the camera seems slow, the phone seems to lag a little, build is boring and far too round.

HTC one I would dub the teenagers dream phone. Loud speakers, facebook / instagram camera, excellent screen, awful awful cut down os due to skin. Camera and features i'd not use / turn off (blink feed). Design - very good although not up my street.

samsung failed with that desig!!!!!!!!!

i pick on design first than performance i mean you do need balance and for me the sony xperia z hits the spot and the main thing that sold me was that design. i have the money to buy a high end device twice a year and i do but i will never waste a penny on the samsung no matter how many cores it has and mark my words there will be hundrends and thousands of people with eye strain from that eye scroll feature so many unhappy people

not saying the samsung isnt a good phone but imo the design is terrible, and no matter how hard i tried with the s3 i couldnt get over the cheap plastic build, my nephews toy phone was constucted with more care and durability lol.

i have 3 friends with the s3 and two out of the 3 have split screen from a simple drop and by the looks of it the s4 is same build. you have every right to voice your opionion and say that the xperia z is a fail but the truth of the matter is that samsung's s2 days are over. the s2 propelled samsung where is it today and it was a great phone but the truth of the matter is those days are over, out of all the people that i have met with the samsung s3 nearly all say they are disspointed with it and these people wouldnt know what a core processor is. i guess we will have to wait till next year to see how well samsung did with the s4 but im sure it wont be as good as the s3.
[Xperia Z General] #illidan:
If you consider an AMOLED screen & an Ocat core processor awesome then you frankly need to either update your definition of awesome with what the world understands it to be means or you need to stop using that word.

Screen - both types have their pros & cons, resolution is eye numbingly same

Camera - same sensor & nothing else revolution in imaging technology

AP - Octa core doesn't really make a big win but if it's raw performance your after then the SGS4 wins but 1 year down the line the S4 Pro will still be kicking

Battery life - yet to be determined

Gimmicky features - Samsung wins hands down

Development - Sony wins hands down

Ram - same (& if someone says DDR2 vs DDR3 I'd let that person know that this is a phone, not a tablet or server to be pushing such high memory bandwidths except if your a benchmark freak)

So if your going to debate at least do it objectively otherwise it's just meaningless fanboy wars.

For Sony & the people who care you think beyond what marketing the likes of Samsung & Apple serve the Xperia Z is anything but a fail.

Nexus 4 is pretty good and if you care about develipment go with it. But the z is probably better though the nexus 4 is much more affordable

Lol. Seriously

Xperia z

Screen- sucks

Software - sucks

Battery - sucks.. samsung will have more . The point of octa isnt power ..its battery..

Software- sony doesnt have a software..its poor

People on xda are mostly geeks- obviously the reason why most people prefer samsung..

Hardware- nexus4..

Development- it will get more.. but since sony hardware sucks, you are better off with a nexus 4 which beats the z or same on almost all levels. And since development is better on the nexus 4

sony xperia z - glass slab with poor software, screen and dac..

U mean crap phones like xperia t?.lol

If u tell that screen looks good with that laggy software and that speakers.. I have no idea what u mean by power and quality.. sony makes beautiful displays like the bravia tvs, powerful gadgets like the vaios, ps3..

I own a two bravias, a vaio, a ps3 and an old ps2 and the old psp (not vita).. considering all these, sony never even tried to make an effort to make that phone..

I love it. All this is mostly a bunch of Sony fans bashing the S4 and praising the Z and claiming any advantages are useless or garbage. All the while they are doing this they are calling others the fanboys. Go figure. Washed out is better than saturated? Lmao. Dd3 is not more useful than dd2? Adjustable colors with deep blacks, low power consumption, better viewing and sunlight visibility is inferior? A quad A-15 will have no advantage over quad A-9? Especially in the long run? Then the A-7 to save power. Lololololol. You don't have to be a Samsung fan to see the obvious advantages. And the design is plain not ugly. It's only people online calling it uglying. But now for pointing out the obvious I offended every Butthurt Sony troll and I'm a blind Sammy fan
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
This post is so funny. In my opinion, the Xperia z competes with the Optimus G, the butterfly, the nexus 4, the iphone 5 and the Galaxy S 3. Comparing it to the HTC One or the Galaxy S IV is ridiculous, it is not in the same league as those 2 phones.
[Xperia Z General] #illidan:
I'm glad you found my post funny. I on the other hand couldn't make any sense of your observation. What for you defines which phone goes into which league? If it's solely/majorly based on the processor then please don't bother to continue this discussion because IMO there isn't a huge differentiating factor between the S4 Pro & the Exynos 5410 in the current situation (a year on maybe you'll see the qcom chip struggle a bit with visually delightful graphic intensive games but by no means will they be unplayable) unless you are a benchmark freak.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
Great, let me explain then. First of all, i'm not talking about the processors, in fact i'm not going to take the processors into consideration in this discussion cause all these phones have more than enough power.

Why do i think that the Xperia Z can't compete with the HTC One and the Galaxy S IV? Well it is simple. It has a 1080p that is sub par compared to the competition. Viewing angles are really bad and the screen itself is washed out. It is a good screen but nothing to write about. Then, it's battery life isn't that great, it does LAG when you have a few widgets on the home screen ( poor optimization by SONY), speakers placement is so dumb and isn't the loudest. UI doesn't offer anything special, anything that would make it better than the One or the S IV. I mean this is supposed to be Sony's 2013 flagship device, yet it isn't all that impressive. It does however have a very good build quality and waterproof.

The HTC One has a design out of this world, it has an ultrapixel camera, blinkfeed and zoe plus insanely good speakers. Let's not forget the amazing screen HTC at least took some risks.

The S IV has a big removable battery, a great 1080p screen, lots of features ( so many that i dont wanna mention them all), gorilla glass 3, 2gigs of DDR3 Ram.

the One and S IV have more to offer and they perform better than the XZ. With all 3 phones costing about the same price, why in the world would i get the XZ when i can choose 2 other phones that are clearly better? Because the Z is waterproof? Come on now let's be real. That's why i say the Z can't compare with them. It does however compete with the nexus 4, S3, Optimus g, droid buterfly.

Obviously everything is a matter of preference. If waterproof is what matters the most to ppl, then XZ is clearly the best option. But i seriously doubt that people go to a store and ask for a waterproof phone first over anything else. At least the majority of ppl.

Is it true there is software to calibrate colour in xperia Z to fix the wash out colour? :D

About software lag maybe we must wait for xda developers to make a better custom ROM since sony give open source code.

I think the stable rom will make a better battery life :D

Octa saves battery life? No one have test it. from my experience ****ty rom will make battery drains, I don't know if processor can save battery life :p

I'm happy with washed out screen because I heard rumor of a fix. For bad battery and software I'm OK because custom time will fix it. Even though I don't know this for a fact.

Then I'll trash something that's easily better and call others fanboys
[Xperia Z General] Codrea:
^ agree with you man. Xperia Z have a weakness but the open Source code will fix it even I am not sure but at least there is a hope.

I don't know why people become Samsung fan boy. I am using s2 although it is a good phone for me but samsul's action about development rom is very disapointing. Till now I dont have a stable rom, cm 10.1 is not as smooth as jelly bean stock. But tjis jelly bean stock is suck because. it drain my battety so fast I won't touch samsul's device again.

CONCLUSION

Buy Xperia Z - if you believe in Style with sufficient power.

Buy Galaxy S4 - if you want power house with Galaxy Signature design

Buy HTC One - if you want better sound, better display + Style << Xperia Z

XPERIA Z - My Opinion:

As m coming from Galaxy Note 2, i will compare these two and here are what I think the Pros & Cons of Xperia Z:

Pros:

-Beautiful Design

-Waterproof

-Good Camera (Rear only)

-Good Screen (View Straight)

Cons:

-Not the best screen (viewing angles)

-Speaker position is horrible

-Poor Battery Life (compared to Note2)

-Front Camera not so good

-Overheating Issues (can tolerate as its waterproof)

-Cannot use Default Launcher with Xperia Widgets: Lags like anything

WHAT I AM MISSING COMING FROM NOTE 2:

-MultiWindow

-Large Screen

-Customizable Notification Bar

-S-Pen

WITH THAT I THINK NOW ITS TIME TO CLOSE THIS THREAD - DECIDE AND BUY WHAT SUITS YOU !!

I AM VERY HAPPY OWNER OF XPERIA Z !! :)
[Xperia Z General] Darkangels6sic6:
Yes. There is to much bashing here, but that is most definitely by Sony people. And Ps. If looks over latest performance is your concern and you're happy with still decent performance then go for the Droid Razr. It's possibly the sexiest phone. Way better than the Z and many others. Not saying. The Z is ugly. But neither is the S4. I like most phones as they all bring choice, individuality, and their own aspects. But if the S4 looked more favourable then everyone would go GaGa. But because it's a simple design everyone is bashing it and calling every feature unless. All because it's not pretty enough again if that's your concern then get the Razr
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
HUGE thumbs up :good:

Let's move S4 discussion to S4 forums, HTC to HTC, and leave Sony forum for Sony users, to exchange experiences, solve our problems, share thoughts about Xperia devices.

No need for ludicrous bashing/praising thread of all the other phones here in Xperia Z forum - no matter which one you got/will get. We compared, discussed - now they're all out/announced, it's time for all of us ( who haven't already ) to decide for ourselves and let others choose their phones without "my XXX will eat your outdated YYY for dinner".
[Xperia Z General] drsoran2:
this is slightly of topic, but maybe someone can answer me my question here:

There are strong rumors that Sony is going to announce the Xperia C550X (Dogo) very soon. It'll have the same S4 pro Quad 1.5 Ghz and Adreno 320 GPU with 2 GB Ram. Battery size is also about the same. The difference is, that it'll have a 4.7" screen with 720p resolution.

Does this mean, that it should (in theory) have higher performance than the Z because of only half the pixel to process? Would this also mean that a better battery life is possible because of less pixels to render and less screen surface to power?
[Xperia Z General] Darkangels6sic6:
Majority of bashing is coming from Sony fans first off. Secondly the topic of this thread specifically states for S4 and others. Know your facts before making a statement please
