this search if you want more

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] SiliconS:
Hmm... It works, but with a few limitations. None of the hardware buttons works so you can't access the rest of the PPC while this emulator is running. You have to stop the emulator to get to the Today screen...

Typing is about as slow as it is on my real Spectrum ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kidnice15:
Okay well I decided to root my phone yesterday, Before yesterday my phone was showing up fine in Google Play, today I go to download something from google play on my computer and it shows Samsung GT-N8013? Did I do something wrong in the rooting process or is this normally?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ronin178:
What rom are you on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erica_renee:
that is the note 10.1 tablet wifi only.. I have one.. If you flashed a rom based on that tablet and the Developer did not edit build correctly this will happen...

Do you have the Phablet notification or the notifications at bottom right of screen..

Hummmm....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kidnice15:
none, stock. Only thing I did was try and root it. which is working.

Hey Guys,

This is my video comparison of the Xperia Z against the HTC One.

[youtube]CywFusnZUAw[/youtube]

Hope it helps!

Leave a comment and let me know what you think

Ash
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Just saw it.

Honestly? Biased as hell, some silly things there lol.

And you say the screen is better though the HTC you got was much worse.

Weellll.... Not good really.

In general:

You justify every crap HTC made, you criticize every thing on Sony.

And in reverse, every thing Sony made well becomes less important.

Truth is, HTC has tons of gimmicks on the phone which are not useful at all.

To name just a few, it's this Blinkfeed you cannot get rid off, totally undeperforming "ultrapixel" camera,

awkward and non logical buttons system, badly designed hardware buttons.

The fact is HTC's camera is a total crap, you just can't admit it.

And as for useless things, I think those stereo speakers are a gimmick. I mean I never listen to music this way, is it really the thing

people do on their phones that often?

One more thing, you couldn't - of course.. - stop yourself from those viewing angles discussion.

But why the f... you couldn't comment it's REAL, in front-of performance? And compare it to HTC?

Meeeh...

I give it 3 out of 5, thanks for effort.
[Xperia Z General] wawyed:
Sharp edges on the Sony? Must be your device mines are soft.

There is no real proof that xz uses both dragontrail in the front and back.
[Xperia Z General] ashwin123:
You wanna justify the screen? really? So I am biased huh? well lets break it down shall we?

Blinkfeed sucks and i pointed it out, lack of notifications suck again did mention it ...

I didnt say the One's stereo speakers are a innovation or they are the best ive ever seen... my s4 vs one comparison I said the s4 is louder, if i were being biased id have praised the one... I just mentioned its better than the xz's speakers cuz they are bad...

As for my htc one screen, had this been my 1st comparison id have mentioned the xz was brighter but I just did a comparison with the s4 where I said the s4 was brighter based on what I saw, after loads of comments that said i was wrong, i looked at ton of videos and articles to figure out wats actually brighter... so you can head on over the gsmarena and check the comparison too between the one and the xz... the one is brighter...

As for camera... its objective... the one outperforms the xperia z in low light and I "personally" keyword being "personally" like that better.. and i emphasize that its a personal call here.

As for specs again I mentioned that tho the one beats the xz in benchmarks theres nothing different in real time usage, to be biased I could have easily said the one was faster but I didnt.

Badly designed h/w buttons? Wasnt that what I started the comparison with? every -ve you talk about has been mentioned in the video...

The end result is am not the one being biased here, I dont have to be, I am a reviewer and I get every flagship phone on the market (which i need to sell off soon sadly :() and I dont need to justify my purchase and defend a device like you do...

Anyway hope you are happy with ur XZ... Peace!
[Xperia Z General] wawyed:
When you do a review first you try to get your facts right, second you need to compare every aspect of them, you didn't compare the build quality of both phones. How about how easy aluminium scratches or dents? How about the bugs with zoe or the software, Sony has much polished software and build quality than the HTC.

You talk about speaker quality but we don't really have much time to hear both of them to feel the difference.

You can resize the album preview by pinching on the screen. So technically you were wrong about the number of thumbnails you can have as it can be much smaller or much larger.

You talk about screen quality washed angles (you put the device at extreme angles that no one watches the device) and then you can't do the same with the HTC one to see the difference? What kind of review is that if you don't compare them properly, then you talk about screen quality but you don't put both devices playing the same image or video simultaneous how can we see the difference?

Then you talk about the video player and xz is better but it's funny, you don't praise the Xperia you just excuse the HTC that has problems with codecs saying that you can use another player.

You say that the HTC one camera is more useful? How because of the zoe? Really do you think that is useful? I consider superior auto much useful than zoe and about camera quality yes it has better quality but stand still camera the xz wins hands down, try a macro shot with the z you will see the difference.

Call quality is bad on the xz? It got a second mic for noise cancellation so it's clear as the HTC one and even if the speaker is not as loud as the HTC it's does pretty good even in loud environment so don't talk bull****.

And then you end up saying that the xz screen is awful? Why? Because of the screen angles? Are you kidding? Or are you one of those that think that the screen looks washed out because of the gray ui? Compare properly both screens with a picture or a full hd movie with bravía engine and tell me how awful the screen is again.

You might say that you are not biased but it looks a hell of a lot that you prefer the HTC one personally even before the review.

Thanks for your time with the review though anyway I guess....
[Xperia Z General] ashwin123:
1. Speaker Quality - agreed I should have shown more but its a well known fact in the 1st place, its a comparison and not a review

2. As for the album, I like the fact that it shows more... I said the xperia z utilizes the 1080p display better... it was something +ve that i was saying about the xz... phew!

3. The XZ's screen is washed out no matter how u try to justify it, so nope am not even gonna bother to reply to this...

4. You are looking at it with a bias, the video player has issues with common codecs like mkv and divx on the xz and that makes the xz better automatically...

5. Camera i left it as personal preference and i agree with u that ur preference is the xz

6. Its not BS... The volume on the earpiece is low, the lowest among flagships.. I shouldnt be pointing that out, instead I need to be pointing out what now? the fact that it has a secondary noise cancelling mic? a feature that 2 year old flagships have? phew again!

7. Yup the bravia engine improves things in the video player and i did point it out but s/w hard as it might try cannot make up for bad h/w

And I have owned the Xperia Z for well over a month now... and have used it as a daily driver for a min of 2 weeks so yup Ive tested and checked out the xperia z thoroughly...

thanks for your comment anyway i guess...
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Well I compared the Samsung s4 screen to the Zs in the Tesco phone shop where I work and with auto brightness off and both screens set to max, the Z was clearly brighter. Indeed the brightness of the S4's screen is giving my girl second thoughts. Also if you still believe the htc one's camera is better than the Zs then your review isn't worth watching and I'm glad I didn't.

To be honest I just think it's become fashionable to praise the htc one. You know the old routine of the blind following the blind. The same **** that's been happening to the iPhone crowd for years.

Good job, I read the comments before watching your review. Would have been a waste of time
[Xperia Z General] wawyed:
2. My point was that you didn't explain how it worked properly.

3. So you are telling me that viewing the screen like a normal person it still looks washed out?

4. No but it makes the xz media player better than the HTC one in this case. No harm saying it.

6. That doesn't mean is crap just that the HTC got higher.

7. Bad h/w? Really? Like what?
[Xperia Z General] ashwin123:
lmao "blind following the blind" that coming from sm1 who takes others opinions and decides not to watch the video and form their own opinion... talk about being a hypocrite

2. Point is i didnt need to... I showed what was better about it.

3. Yup it does

4. When a videos already pushing 20 mins u want me to say stuff just to appease fanboys? its better it was said sue me for not singing praises

6. It is crap

7. bad display = bad hardware

Im sorry m8 I dont do 4-7min comparisons like most... I try to cover everything... It was 24 frikkin minutes for gods sakes... if theres something that i havent mentioned fair enough.. I cant spend time going into each and everything in detail for a comparison... thats what reviews are for... comparisons are what is better, what are the differences... did I show the way the ir remote on the one works? no, did I show the multiple lockscreen options that the one has in detail nope, I paid exactly the same attention to the one as i did to the xz....

Anyway I get it you've bought the phone, uve spent ur cash on it and now u want to justify it to urself... but cmon, the xz screen is really better than the one's? honest to god, you didnt open the box and for a second atleast wonder "is it juz my screen?"

As for me being biased...

I use a sony alpha 57 cam that i just purchased, I have a sony hx9v for my secondary cam, I own 2 sony playstation 3s.... do you see a pattern here? Lets take HTC.. I wasnt high on the butterfly in my comparisons and even rated the one x lower than the s3 last year in my comp... the one is the 1st htc phone that ive praised... and fyi last year everyone was singing praises for the one x... i liked it but i didnt prefer it over my s3 or note and thats exactly what i said in my vid... so this is how i genuinely feel about the device... so u still think I have it out for sony? Just like you I paid for my Xperia Z too...

Again as for the cam... I was very clear that the xz is the better cam in bright lights, as for low lights are you gonna disagree and say that that the xz performs better than the one in low light? Thats all I said.. xz better in good light, one better in low lights... whats better for you is your call but for me personally i prefer the option of shooting pics in low light... how is that a dig at the xz???

This is not me backing down cause I still say the same, sony makes amazing stuff and should have used a better screen... the audio quality is bs both the speaker as well as the ear piece...
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
Jeezz, seriously though the screen on the XZ is pure sh*t. Its almost painful to look at.
[Xperia Z General] wawyed:
No, because before buying my phone I compared the difference options available and I liked the way the sony xperia screen looks.

I am not a fanboy, XD this is my first sony phone. I am NOT saying that the XZ has a better screen than the HTC one it's true. But to say that the screen is **** just because you don't like it, it's to say the least biased. And you can't deny the fact that you don't like the xz and you tried to force that view on the comparison. So it was indeed a biased review as pretty much all the reviews that compare does two phones.
[Xperia Z General] ashwin123:
Its not a mid level device, its a flagship, a phone that we pay top dollar for, is it unfair to expect it to have the best of everything? You dont think the viewing angles are bad? you could say who cares about viewing angles but for what we pay, when others can give it (hell if oppo can give it for $499) why not Sony?

What you say is partly right but uve got it the other way around.... its not that I dont like the xz and I talk about the speakers and viewing angles because i font like but its because of the viewing angles and speakers that I feel the xz is not as good as it should have been...

I dont wanna argue, am just trying to calm you down enough so that I can get feedback on my video... once the initial "damn he called my phone bad... that jackass!!!" anger dies down, maybe I can get some feedback on what I can do to improve...

honestly I have 26k subs on youtube and my videos hit the 10k mark in a month no matter what.. posting it on xda gets me a few hundred views max... the reason I do so is because I can get some actual feedback here... on youtube u have the words limit on comments and we couldnt have had this kinda conversation there.. ud probably have said "u are biased the xz rocks" and id have ignored it cuz theres no way i could reply to that with the utube word limit.

If anyone honestly feels I have been biased somewhere please let me know and I am willing to change it... just go to my channel and watch any video from a month back a couple of months back ull notice the difference, I am constantly trying to learn and improve.
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
I absolutely agree with you. I certainly would have considered the XZ if it wasnt for the washed out screen, the speakers isnt that much of a deal breaker for me cause i use headphones most of the times. The XZ has a beautiful design, i absolutely LOVE the power button, it looks so slick. Waterproof and dust proof is a plus but nothig i really care about. the snapdragon S4 pro is plenty even if it isnt the best anymore, it is still one of the best and very capable SoC. But for a flagship device, and considering every phone is coming out with a 1080p display, the one on the Z is really a let down. also the placement of the volume rocker doesnt make any sense ( the speaker too quite frankly). Reason why i complain so much about the screen is cause thats where everything happens, thats what you look at. Its unacceptable to me to buy a phone for more than 500$ with a ****ty screen.
[Xperia Z General] ashwin123:
Thank you :)
[Xperia Z General] wawyed:
O

About the screen, I don't feel that washed out colours people talk about really, you have you realise the ui is grey not black and that might cause the impression that the phone doesn't do good blacks but it does quite good if you look at a video or picture. That it's not as "vibrant/oversaturated" as an amoled screen ofc, but some people like it that way.

I'm trying to give you feedback, I couldn't care less if you like or don't like this device. But what I don't like is biased opinions and false statements in a comparison. Obviously you can have your own opinion and you might not like it but you should try to be impartial when comparing/reviewing units. All this is IMHO and with the aim to help you.

Again, I don't think the XZ is a better phone than the HTC one or the S4, they are newer phones with better processor and better screen. But XZ was the first flagship to be released, so the more time you have to release a device the more time you have to improve it.

For me, I picked the XZ because It's the phone that ticked all the boxes for me. Quad core, 2gb RAM, full hd screen, sd card slot. That's pretty much all I cared about and it does it well in all of them. Maybe on screen battery time is not the best but it's still better than my lg o2x.

At the end of the day if I didn't like the phone I could just return it and get the HTC one or the S4. ^^. But I do like it and I'm sure there is a lot of people that does too.

Edit: let me show you what I mean about the ui. This is a screenshoot of a black image with the soft keys, can you see how the soft key are grey? That can give the impression that the screen is washed out because of the soft keys
[Xperia Z General] nazrin313:
Well, I dont know about you, but my friends who saw my phone, were all amazed about the quality of the XZ screen and all came running to the shops to get it. Note that they all come from iPhones, S3s and note2s..

Point to note that i do have my screen optimised with the white balance mod, black nav bars and a BE2 wallpaper.. Honestly, screen looks amazing.
[Xperia Z General] ashwin123:
Thanks for the explanation... I get the UI thats the 1st thing I notices and pointed out once I got it.. the app drawer has a greyish back that makes things look worse as in the washed out feeling more than it should but def, compared to superlcd 3 or even the oppo find 5's screen it does look washed out, my honest opinion and after doing my share of research and confirming it with a few others who own the device I decided to go with it...

you could return the phone if you want... lol, how I wish that was an option where I am from.. we have no returns here, so kinda stuck with what we buy, even RMAs are damn hard... galaxy camera (yes I was stupid enough to buy one) shipped with a dead pixel, took them 2 months & about 8 mails to samsung to replace :(
[Xperia Z General] pandaball:
I'm curious as to why people here are saying the XZ's screen is washed out. I used a HTC One X before this and it pretty much had (still has imo) the best screen you can find anywhere, and I really think the XZ comes pretty darn close because of the high res. Colours are vibrant and accurate without being oversaturated. Although viewing angles aren't as good as the HOX's, it isn't so bad to the extent that colours are completely washed out or something. Besides, I have yet to find a use case where I need to view anything from a >35 degree angle anyway.
[Xperia Z General] ApriliaM3:
Please keep things on-topic here guys and resist the urge to make your argument personal.

It's fine to debate the phones and the review but I don't want to see personal attacks or bad language being used... This will be your only warning.

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Today I perfectly understood how Sony contrast control works across the device.

Now I can confirm the UI is less saturated just for batt saving.

I just made a screenshot. And the homescreen looks totally different in the gallery than in original.

Skocking difference.

So the "washed out" thing is just a bullshi..t. You just didn't even notice it in your "review".

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

The UI has lowered saturation/contrast. Everything changes drastically when you watch a photo, movie etc.

Than it looks super sharp and dense as amoleds. That's the reason of the confusion. Just found it out.
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Keep telling yourself that. Delusion isn't really a rare phenomenon.

The reality on the ground is the Zs a smash hit selling very very well indeed while the critically acclaimed htc one is struggling to get off the ground never mind make any sort of impression on the market place.

For such a poor poor phone with a God awful display, millions of people still seem to have fallen in love with it.

All we've seen this year is the tech community coming together to rally behind a much loved manufacturer on the brink of bankruptcy.

The result has been one of the most over hyped phones the world has ever known.

Only a month ago we were being told that htc had revolutionized the smartphone camera only to be finally confronted with cheap nonsense.

The game is up, the plan has failed.

Commercially the Z has more than surpassed Sony's expectations while the HTC One as I said looks like it's even struggling more than the One X did.

It gets even worse for the phone because it has only about a month and a half left to make an impression on the market place. Rumors of snapdragon 800 devices coming in H2 will surely stop many potential consumers buying H1 devices in the coming months. Add to that the impending tsunami that is Honami, and you can quite easily see the HTC One being a commercial flop. It's window of opportunity is narrowing by the day.

Attack the Z all you want. It's more than achieved it's goal. Your mumblings are immaterial. The story of the Sony Xperia Z is a very happy happy one for Sony.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
HTC lost the plot some time ago, it's pain to watch since I was always wishing them well.

But HTC HD2 times are gone.... Strange.
[Xperia Z General] ashwin123:
If sony outsells the one its cuz of 2 reasons 1. marketing - as a YouTuber every other ad I see on my video is Sony's HTC on the other hand, to use your words, is a company near bankruptcy... 2. HTC One has had production delays, no site has had them in stock for more than a few days even biggies like Handtec UK (biggie as in one of the top sites that offer international shipping) have loads of preorders... And wow outselling a phone that wasnt even on sale, a company that wasnt able to fulfill orders made weeks if not months ago with sony's marketing might and with 0 current gen competition... till the s4's release it was the only 1080p device available (not counting the butterfly/droid dna due to obvious reasons) wow thats a win!!!

As for viewing it in the gallery, well you guys dont know your own phones do you? the Mobile Bravia Engine 2 kicks in only while watching videos/viewing a pic in the gallery... and even then the viewing angle issues still are present...

and ya honami... multiple flagships a year - wow even after watching HTC make that mistake and fail miserably due to dilution you rally behind a company that does it?

The Galaxy S line and the iPhone outsell everything still samsung and apple stick to a 1 flagship a year (yup samsung released 100's of galaxy crap devices which am not talking about) dont u even see a pattern there? c'mon it isnt rocket science
