amazing phone I felt the same way with all those negative reviews and if truth be told I did cancel my order but felt like I make the biggest mistake, had bad feeling in gut when I cancelled order and found myself taking it out on mates so I called back the next day and re ordered.

I am so happy now I love the phone its amazing. all this bull crap about screen people are missing the point in having a reality display it means the most true to life experience you can get and the xperia z delivers colours are real and they are awesome.

I can see it now samdung galaxy users replacing handsets because of water damage while wishing they opted for the xperia z lol

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

to clarify I have had no issues with the phone apart for the camera everything else is great. the speaker however is another story its not as good as the sony xperia s but its definitely nothing to be worried about its adequate, but im sure there is a mod floating around that sorts it out but since that's the case then im sure sony will tweak that in next update just don't hold your breath lol
[Xperia Z General] bplogan:
I agree.

I've had a long list of phones android blackberry and iPhone and this puts them all to shame.

Most recently I had an sgs3 4g, battery was so bad.

This phone is big but very good
[Xperia Z General] BobKatz:
Ta

Thanks for your clear, concise, real-word opinion. I'm getting mine today and I've read a number of the niggle this, niggle that reviews so was getting a little worried but now I'm excited all over again.

First thing I'm planning on doing is putting the camera on timer then dunking it in my beer (actually probably someone else’s, don't want to waste my pint). My first ever bubble eye view from a pint!
[Xperia Z General] exekias:
EXACLTY

The reviews actually scared me off this phone for a while slamming the ports, the screen the battery life and "buggy" software. I was all set to buy and HTC One and then they got delayed in my country and the price they quoted was more than the Z so I bought the Z and I do not regret the purchase.

I love the screen, way nicer than the cartoony AMOLED of my Gnex, and Battery is amazing, Stamina mode when used correctly literally means when the screen is off 0% is used. its amazing, my phone uses about 30-40% per normal day!!!

I have loaded it up with triple the amount of music that I had on my Gnex (thanks to expandable SD) and my only issue was music quality which was quickly remedied by the ACID mod but my Gnex had **** music quality and i used a mod to remedy that also.

Camera is good, better than the Gnex and better then the HTC one was going to be but i dont use cameras and I have come accross no bugs, also its hacker friendly something the S4 and the One are not

LOVE IT
[Xperia Z General] smax1991:
Agree with all of you guys.. Great phone great materials it feels so premium, good sound and battery.. Love it :):)
[Xperia Z General] yngwin:
I totally agree. It's the best phone I've ever had, and there isn't anything on the market that I'd rather have.

The screen is amazing. Not overly saturated like Samsung. I don't understand why anybody is complaining about the viewing angles — it's absolutely fine for me. Foreshortening becomes a problem before the "washed-out" colours do. And 5" is just the right size. It's big, but still easy to handle.

The battery life is great, even without stamina mode (which I haven't played with yet). It's better than my Xperia S, or the Samsung Galaxy R I had before that.

The sound is ample enough for me. I don't put it at 100% volume, and it's loud enough. I don't know what I would do with more...

My only complaints are minor:

1) the gray background for the navigation buttons should be black and not as high (but this is fixable with a mod, I know) and

2) the camera seems to have high-quality hardware but Sony messed up the software side with over-processing (but burst mode gives better results) — hopefully they fix this in the 4.2 update.

[Xperia Z General] andrewx:
Hi thanks for your opinion! :)

Can you post wath is your device settings for optimal battery life..

I newbee in android word i've XZ from 2 days..

What i've to do?

bluetooth can still always on or is drain battery?

wifi can i use the gps option or is better to turn off manualy?

i don't use stamina because i need the led notification..

i've disable the google now..

Can you give me some tricks to expand my battery life.. thank you so much.. and excuse me for my poor english.. :D
[Xperia Z General] gtrab:
Check your battery stats to see what's draining your juice. To me, it was the screen and my mail apps. I stay in 2g (EDGE) unless I want to navigate the web, and I disabled google+ auto pic upload. Also, I changed to auto bright screen. I keep GPS on. BT goes on when I'm driving (smart tag) and WiFi turns on at home & office (another smart tag).
[Xperia Z General] mervluk:
Happy.

Yep I think it knocks the socks off my Razr i for the quality of its wi-fi and fm radio reception. Screen absolutely fine, and camera too when I get to grips with it. Little annoyances are the caps over every orifice that make it look like it's held together with string (it's actually very sturdy) and fingermarks, fingermarks, everywhere. (And I can never get the last few key-location bubbles out from under the screen protector). Unfortunately mine is on a contract with the mickey mouse Three UK's stupidly named One Plan so mobile data and phone is pretty much a waste of space, but since it seems everyone in the overpopulated UK is falling over themselves to provide wi-fi services I can live with their let-down.
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
First, I love this Xperia!

I'm on stock 350 and rooted. Most of the time the phone works perfectly. However, 2 or 3 times already the phone gets a bit hot, and consuming a lot of juice, for instance using xda app on lte network. SetCPU identified 41 deg Celsius. I was checking battery usage and it gave me a good share for app Devices.

I was looking for info about this app (has the same icon as Movies) but nothing. I blocked it now with Titanium, will I miss it?

I agree with everything , the phone is great. I have the phone from 5 days and today I saw that the screen is scratched. A little bit ,but is scratched!

My phone stay always alone in the pocket, but one of the days stay with the wallet. The wallet is normal leather one, no buttons or else. So is this the scratch resistant screen of Sony Xperia Z?

[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
Let's be honest here. The touch screen won't work properly when there is water on it and it won't work at all when it's submerged.

When I last tried to use my phone for listening to music in shower water droplets on the screen meant it was almost useless and good luck swiping when a call comes in

. Unfortunately everything about the Z is a compromise, from the flaps, to the speaker not working after being submerged, the screen needing to be bang on straight in front of your face to use it, to having to wait 2 to 3 seconds to use the camera.

I'm worried people will try to send it back to me if I sell it due to the screen.
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
Oh! Thank you very much! So now we have your opinion and very well supported, I might add.

Please, come visit us more often or we'll miss your perspective on how the world can be wonderful outside Xperia Z.

seriosly this is the best device (my oppinion) i ever hold in my hand.

i rooted it and flashed a custom rom (android 4.2.2), it rocks and i am sure the devs will solve that little Camera problem sooner or later.

So than what's the advantage of being water proof here ? we cannot touch the screen underwater, we cannot record the videos/image while swimming ( for recording we need to press out of water the camera button, )????
[Xperia Z General] SXZdabbler:
My Z never intentionally goes near water, waterproof or not.

The advantage is you won't have to replace the phone, if the phone DECIDES to spend some time time in water.

[Xperia Z General] Lusterboi:
Lol I love these Samsung fan boy comments. Especially about water resistant as a gimmick. You know what's a gimmick? Blasting Sony for poor viewing angle. Who in the right mind views their phone from an angle? Are you mentally special? Now that's a gimmick. Water resistant, that's a function. It actually had a purpose, you won't cry like a B when your phone accidentally comes in contact with water the next time around. What is wrong with people these days, get your head straight.

Oh and to the poster that says note 2 is innovative or something along those lines? What part is innovating or remotely smart about making a phone the size of a brick and putting it next to your face? Haha, gg and no re. Samsung has been stuck on the iPhone 3g design that they had stolen from Apple 3 years ago. Common, seriously? But I guess people don't care for originality anymore.
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
+1

It is reassuring to have an additional layer or protection, but using the phone inside the pool can only serve for showing off.

The fact is that water resistance was the factor that least contributed to my decision of buying XPZ. This is my 5th Sony(-Ericsson), 3rd Android after X10 and XPS, and I've always felt well served (and additionally supported by xda).

This phone is amazingly gorgeous, fast, resistant. After 3 weeks is completely tuned to my needs.

I don't need to say any negative things about other brands to feel good about my purchase.

[Xperia Z General] RoChinu:
I just don't get why people are trolling around about not being able to use the screen when submerged under water. For one, Sony never claimed it to be waterproof! Hence, why the screen isn't working when submerged. They claim it to be water resistant and it definitely is. (I've tried.) I for one see the value of it being water resistant, we all at times are clumsy and spill something, everywhere it rains at times, it's just a feature to make it more durable. Definitely not to swim with it or take underwater pictures with it. By the way, no one can actually speak underwater so no need to make phone calls underwater, no? As someone mentioned before, you'd only take it into the pool to show off.

About it being durable, I can't really tell yet, dropped it thrice, it fell from my pocket and nothing happened. But it wasn't on concrete but semi hard surfaces. (Gotta be honest, no.) despite not having experienced real challenges yet, I can almost certainly say the Z is more durable than it's competitors. And by the way I'm not using any cases. Will buy some soon.

[Xperia Z General] slo2lah:
IMO

Well, to me the whole idea of water resistant function is for the user to clean the phone when it gets dirty or oily. Imagine when you are having your meal which is sticky or oily based, nah now you know the importance of that function.

The extreme case, you drop your phone into the toilet bowl with full of your s**t or whatever you may call it, are you just gonna pick it up and wipe it with just tissue, ewwwww!!!!! with the water resistant function you can clean it people (plus a lil bit of anti bacteria soap would be perfect)

Needless to say, the phone without water resistant function may not be able to survive when it comes to this situation.​

I come from the Note 2 to XZ. I'm now 7 weeks using this gorgeous device. IMO this is the most beautiful Android device to date! The phone is now tuned to work very well with my daily needs. I keep mine bare naked, no case as something this good looking should be appreciated for its design (unlike Samsung's boring design, even with the new S4). I make use of the water proof feature cos I wash the phone once a week to clean away the grease. Anyway, there are some minor bugs and hopefully they'll get fixed with the next update. Sony has done an excellent job with this phone! Nice launcher, widgets etc, very much clean and crisp skin, perfect for me. Other fanboys can troll this device as much as they like but they can only envy because no other Android handset manufacturer has managed to create such a good balance between design, performance and software.
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
I need to preface this post by stating I am the proud owner of the XZ, SGS3 and the Note. All three devices are top notch and do what it says on the packet. The rest is personal taste etc.

One thing I do wish my fellow Sony XZ owners would stop doing is seeing the water resistance as a licence to dunk their mobile in water to either 'test it' or use it in the shower, bath or swimming pool!

My car has seat belts, front air bags, side air bags, crumple zones and a plethora of other safety devices

should I have an accident

. How many of you have driven your car into a brick wall to test these safety devices? Equally absurd to keep pushing a safety feature of the XZ.

The XZ is not designed to take water in its stride its designed to accept some small contact with water. The XZ is NOT a water proof phone and is not meant to be used or abused as such.
[Xperia Z General] Dom3000:
It is not meant to be used under water. But it IS water proof.
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
My only problem with Z is that after these 3 weeks the phone is so tuned to my needs that I don't have nothing left to tweak... I keep digging xda for new things but most of the add ons are just silly.

[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
Then go troll over there. If you own a Note 2 why would you come here and talk sh!t? thats not civilize at all. xperia Z is anything but cheap and thats coming from a guy who hasnt own a sony smart phone and been an avid Samsung user. I have the two S3, the first one I drop, although screen is fine but the bezel scratch up it just piss the hell out of me so I bought another one. I thought I wasnt going to switch another phone for a while even though I know the S4 was going to come out but I was wrong the Z is a rare beauty and its more durable then any phone out there in the market. Dragontrail glass is stronger then gorilla 2 apparently just youtube sony xperia active drop test.

[Xperia Z General] LosserKlosser:
I'm thinking about getting an Experia Z next week. It's a hard decision to make when you in reality need a week to decide whether or not the device is what you want.

Is it possible to NOT get a preview of incoming texts in the notification bar? When I got my Galaxy S2 all incoming texts would roll over the notification bar, making it possible to read for anyone who could see the screen.

Also I would like to know if you can completely disable notification of incoming texts from certain contacts and make custom LED colors for contacts.

I'm a long time user of Handcent SMS because of the customizable settings for each contact, privacy box etc. It simply beats Samsungs SMS app.

For a long time I've been using JellyBam because Android stock dialer beats Samsung dialer. In example the Samsung dialer does not support T9 search in contacts with danish special characters.

On the other hand, stock camera is a hell of a lot better than CyanogenMod based camera.

I really don't want to flash another ROM on day one of having this high end device - on the other hand it would annoy the hell out of me that a device in that price range doesn't work as well as the HTC Wildfire s.

Will someone please tell me a little about customization options with regards to contacts and texting? Possibly throw a screenshot or two in the settings menu?

I would really appreciate it.

Best regards,
