[Xperia Z1 General] Nanohearted:
Even before Sony name the new honami phone as Z1, I once thought that XZ can be a great predecessor for its future generations if Sony wishes.

I believe that many of you would also hope for the successor of XZ with its weaknesses fixed or improved. So, now the Z1 has come out

and let's list out which things Sony improved and which things that left out but still can be improved. ;)

I also would like you to participate as fun with possible improvements that you've thought before. [Note: possible means not features like

Xenon flash, fingerprint scanner, 10x optical zoom etc.. ok? :D]

First, let's see what weaknesses of XZ that is fixed or improved in Z1. I cannot definitely tell that some of the things are fixed but I will

update once I got Z1 and compared with XZ.

Xperia Z's weaknesses

-----------------------------------------

1. poor viewing angle (Hope triluminos fix it. Acceptable so far according to the hands on videos)

2. poor wifi receivement (If Sony make use of Z1's aluminium panel as antenna?)

3. wear and tear flaps (I am interested to find out how they managed to build the Z1's open earphone jack with water resistance)

4. battery life (Improved. XZ's battery life is acceptable for me but 2330 mAh is really not enough for heavy users)

5. Speaker (Improved........)

6. loose back panel near camera (Not sure and most important factor)

7. Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass (Not improved)

8. No dedicated shutter button (fixed)

Z1's successor possible improvements

------------------------------------------

1. Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass to Corning Gorilla Glass 1/2/3 with oleophobic coating ?

Many of us might have been disappointed with such a fingerprint and dust magnet of XZ's screen. Very obvious and noticeable if you come from an iPhone.

Also I am also one of the people who don't prefer Shatter proof film at all because of the reason above.

2. magnetic power connector ? (optional)

Most of XZ owners afraid of their phone's flaps will become loose and eventually let water damage the phone one day because of the commonly used

2 main ports, micro usb port and earphone jack. Now Sony already managed to left the headphone jack open and if they managed to come up even

more with magnetic power connector and let it connect to 2 pogo pins(which was designed only for dock), it will definitely become an invincible beast.

You can argue that we can already charge the phone with dock however, some people don't prefer it because of high ampere and faster discharge of battery.

3. Increase internal memory to 32GB ?

Although we can add 16 up to 64 micro SDs, most people still want to make internal memory as their favourite. For me, its not a must factor as I usually

flash my phones alot and only store my data in microSD card.

4. Increase RAM to 3Gb? ( nah, no need)

5. OIS missing?

As far as I read up in pages, I cannot find anything about OIS in Z1. I guess Sony missed out an important feature.

6. S-Master MX digital amplifier ??

Many Walkman fans hoped desperately for that dedicated audio chip and Sony missed out again. However, I think it is because of constraints in so

many aspects such as design and customers' affordable price range.
