I only want to share with you how much i am happy about this phone.

I use it a lot for work on the road, i'm a business developer and so i usually have to share files, browse the Web, use social networks and so on.

The phone works very well in every task, even in basilar photoshooting for live events, making basilar video editing, etc.

But what makes me really happy is the strength of the building. My phone fallen a lot of time on the ground, in the water, in the bathroom, I use it under the shower, and lot of other things.

One week ago the best example: I forgot my Xperia Z on the roof of my car :D

After 500 meters i hear a sound on the car and then looking in the mirror I see the telefone flying on the street on the other side of the street.

I turned the car and run to take the phone, in the mean time two cars jumped on it...

The result? Some scratches on the rubber bezel (very light scratches!).

My phone don't have cases... Only one film on the front and one on the back (those who came whith the phone).

The phone has no issues! It's a pleasure to know that i can use my phone in every situation!

Wow!

Wow! Good luck with the xperia terminator! :D
[Xperia Z General] emrause:
i have mine for almost a year too... and without any protection or cases...

the phone has fallen several times and under shower usage for music playing or answering call is a very easy task...

my phone still is all fonctionning and after unlocking it and installing the PAC rom 4.3.1 i'm more happier that ever...!!!

this phone is just perfect... i compared it with the Z1 of one of my friends... u don't really sens the difference... yes! Z1 is more powerfull but Z is more beautiful and and more... more... more a personnal phone... ;)

for me... best phone ever!
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
I have Z for 11 months.

It was good enough to not rush to get Z1. Which I will skip maybe,

just to get the next flagship.

Now Z seems similar to Z1 in speed and performance.
[Xperia Z General] Chac:
I have my z for 6 months. And I think it is a great terminal I will not need to upgrade to a new smartphone for now.
[Xperia Z General] Rajeev:
Mine is 6 months now.. Already got 3 replacements....

I've got 11 months. I was always good! Great phone. Especially because the xperia z has brought new aesthetic in home sony.

This is the best smartphone I have had the pleasure of owning :)

I previously had Note 1. Bad firmware resulted in a couple of bricks :mad:

After the.second brick, I asked grey retailer for a "credit " to go toward XZ, which they did, and after nearly a year, not a single problem :thumbup:

I even accidentally dropped in the toilet, and was extremely glad about the water resistance :p
[Xperia Z General] -totonio-:
I have this phone since 7 months, the phone has fallen a lot of times, in water on the street and from 2nd floor (10 Mt) the phone hasn't scratches, and I don't use cases, only the films :D

Unlocking Bootloader gave me a lot of possibilities, the phone is smooth, has good battery life and I can do whatever I want...

The best phone I ever had!
[Xperia Z General] paprkut:
I'm on to my third. The first one had its back peeling off. The second screen broke after falling 3 foot on to a tiled floor. IMO the phone is just as fragile as any other.
[Xperia Z General] myid.m:
xz or g2?

Helo guys.i have chance to trade my xz with lg g2.what you guys think?should trade my xz with g2 or not?

Thanks for guidance
[Xperia Z General] murrayalex:
Tough call. I had a G2 which I really liked but it was slippy and the back creaked next to the volume/on off button controls which was annoying. I still have my Xperia Z and still use it regularly (main phone now is the ZL). The Z is a nicer build quality, feels better and looks better. Frankly, the camera is better on the G2, it is faster and the screen is much better but it's awkward to hold and doesn't have the Z wow factor...
[Xperia Z General] banny7000:
I've had my Z 6 months coming from a nexus 4,at first I wasn't impressed but since 4.3 I have fell in love with it the performance is good now, plus with custom kernel I have gamma and the screen looks great now,also camera is great in good conditions and being able to use in the rain a must in the UK.
[Xperia Z General] myid.m:
I to loved my xz.realy like the design so much.the only problem is the backplate has lifted up.

Im afraid to get it into water.

I think wanna change to g2 now:D. Thanks for your advice friend;)
[Xperia Z General] Trafford Devil:
I've had my Z for 11 months now.

Overall this is probably the best phone I've had in terms of performance. For all the stick Sony gets for slow updates my Z is a completely different phone from when I first got it. Each update has made it better. With the latest firmware it's actually a faster phone than it was a year ago.

In terms of wear and tear my Z has had 3 major falls on concrete from my pocket. It's always been naked except for front and back screen protectors and hasn't really sustained any cosmetic damage from the 3 falls.

However sometimes the proximity sensor and headphone jack will stop working. When this happens I have to press on the proximity sensor quite hard and it'll be back to normal. Whether this is due to the falls or water damage (the white water strips have turned pink) I'm not sure. I'm still under warranty so hopefully I can get this fixed.

Other than that the seals on the flaps are loose therefore it's a bit difficult to close the ports.

I'm really considering getting the Z1 because I feel that it addresses all the flaws of the Z. Open headphone jack and magnetic charging so need to bother with the flaps. I sync my Z over Wi-Fi so I don't need to open the usb port. Finally the 3000 mAh battery on the Z1 addresses the biggest flaw of the Z, the bad battery life. I usually get 4 hours of screen on time on average.

[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
I certainly agree with the OP, no phone I've ever owned has aged as well as the Z. I've had it since launch day and it's taken a lot of falls and knocks. I too don't use a case and apart from a few minor blemishes on the frame and scratches on the shatter film, it's nearly as good as new. Definitely one of the best built phones of all time.
[Xperia Z General] murrayalex:
I've got a Z1 too. It is faster than the Z, not that the Z is slow. The camera is a disappointment though on the Z1...as for magnetic charging, I bought the Z dock which solves the issue of having to open the charging port flap. I also have the Z1 dock too for the convenience factor. To be honest, I've been a bit disappointed by the Z1...it's bigger than the Z and the bigger bezels are ugly whilst the screen on my Z is as good as the screen on the Z1. Bigger battery yes on the Z1 but I never struggled with battery life on the Z so that is not an issue. I think that the LG G2 is a better phone than the Z1 for a £100 less...the camera and screen on it are much better. Just my opinion having owned all 3 phones in the past month..
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
Had my z for 11 months, bought it from over sea which costed me like 800$ cad. No regrets, up until now, still get alot of praises from people, it is definitely one of the better looking phones out there. Imo, it looks better than z1.

Dropped it a few times and everything still works, flaps are tight (don't open it too hard, use gentle force to maintain its tightness), screen didn't crack. Best thing I've done to this phone is unlocking the bootloader lol.

This is the second longest phone I've used to date so far, first was my iPhone 4. Currently waiting for z2 or z3, the one being announced at ifa.

Good job sony and great support from awesome developers!!
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
Have had my z since March last year..... Must say an awesome phone and the one I bought from my own money...?(didn't ask my parents) .... Would keep it for as long as possible....

Plus I am in no mood to buy a new one till May as I am waiting for the Nvidia processor with 2 Denver a8 cores.... Read so much that I would love to own a phone with that.....

Currently running PABX ROM... And the battery life is awesome.... Loving it more than stock..... ?

10 more days and then I'll have the phone for a year...

Don't have any regrets about the phone except that I removed the Sony logo @ the front.

The only problem I have is that the camera has dead pixels. I'll buy a new camera module and replace it myself.

I have showered/swam with the phone without a problem. My next phone will be the XZ2? If my XZ lasts that long:laugh::good:
[Xperia Z General] christianfgs:
I've only had the phone for a month, but it never felt old. It always gets praise from friends and random people due to its looks and its water resistance.

I don't really care much about the updates since Sony and Android itself is stable enough to do everyday tasks.

It just bothers me that the makers of Cybershot cannot perfect the camera algorithm/post-processing. I feel like iPhone5's 8mp is much more clearer and better than our 13mp camera. Although that may only be a personal opinion.

And the ASF gets scratched so frcking easily. Why advertise a phone with durable, scratch resistant tempered glass AND THEN cover it with film. I know its easy to peel it off but then there's insurance/warranty(just in case) problems and the removal of the Sony logo.

But at the end of the day, these small problems subside and the sheer beauty and premium of the phone shows.

It's still the best looking phone IMO. Specs are still good and will do anything you need.
[Xperia Z General] stunt_101:
couldn't agree with you more OP. I've had the phone since last March and its still solid. i've dropped it more than 10 times on concrete or tiles, and nothing besides a few scratches and small dents. front and back glass did not break. The only complain is that i listen to music a lot and the rubber part of the flap came off and i'm scared to take it near the water now.
[Xperia Z General] dinaz92:
Love my Xperia Z. My first Android was Xperia x8 :3 Then I bought Xperia U, loved the colourful lightbar, but the cpu was not good... And Sony didn't want to update it to 4.1, I was sad... So when I saw Xperia Z, it was love at first sight. Now its one year with my lovely Xperia Z ^^

support is awesome!

i have had my c6602 for about 11 months now. just 2 weeks ago i forgot my phone in my back pocket and sat on a ledge which gave me a cracked screen and an unresponsive touchscreen. as if that wasn't bad enough the liquid indicator in the headphone jack was wet. i sent it into sony and got a new(refurbished) phone no questions asked. Thats pretty sweet sony thanks.
[Xperia Z General] ZynexOG:
congratulations to all of you who have managed to keep your XZs alive! unfortunately I wasn't so lucky, the self-crack feature activated rendering 2/3 thirds of the screen useless. The only real flaw of the XZ is probably the viewing angles, I love the XZ, and it flies through everything very well, and probably the best phone I have ever owned. lets see if anyone here could try and hit 2 years :)
[Xperia Z General] doverjosh8:
I previously had an Xperia Z and I guess I was content. It didn't fit my needs, but I wouldn't say it was a terrible phone, just not the best I have had.
[Xperia Z General] metcard:
checking in.

I've had the Z for a good 12 months and thing has been very good.

It has been dropped a dozen times, most of them on concrete and a lot of hard falls and the frame is chipped and has dents everywhere but no damage to the back or front. I was planning on getting a Z2, but the delays and the fact the the Z is going great has me thinking that I might just wait for the Z3, or Z2 mini or maybe even wait for a Z4 :silly:
[Xperia Z General] tchzhy:
I just bought it and I like it very much.

Z4 will most likely be 64-bit processor, it's what I'm waiting for
[Xperia Z General] dom_b:
I've just bought an Xperia Z from eBay with a smashed screen and repaired it to replace my old Atrix. I love the Xperia. The large screen is great and it's much much faster than the Atrix to use daily. I hope to get a couple of years out of it.

Nice to see Sony are releasing updates still too. My Atrix didn't get any after release despite promises from Moto!

This is easily my favourite Android device to date.

[Xperia Z General] Akinaro:
yes, but only if you are typical smartphone user, not some heavy gamer/internet app freak, because battery is only problem with xperia Z.

-its still one of best looking phone

-its powerful even with older chipset(you can run any game on it)

-overall quality is superb even some new phones cant match it

-screen is very good, no matter what review say, even on sunlight its pretty good

I have my XZ for about 3months and only battery is pain in the A$$, last week I went to car show and after 4h of video/pic recording battery was almost dead and I had to stop using phone(nfc, HSDPA on all the time)... typical it need charging at 17:00(after night in docking station)

So if you like good looking devices, with good amount of futures and power, but you use this futures and power once per day xperia z is still one of best devices.

But if about software so its very good :)

My opinion!:

4.4.2 good mods&battey life some noticable lags

4.3 (.101 build number) good battery life but little bit less than 4.4.2 & extreme smoothness and speed!!! Good mods too!

4.2.2 the best battery life! But no more mods

4.1.2 ....? ITS SUPPORT NOTHING NOW!!! Very old its like 2.3 for me

#############

My benchmark :D :

4.4.2 : 4.5/5 - because good mods and better UI and battery and apps support

4.3 : 4.7/5 - because the speed is nice

4.2.2 : 3.5/5 - good battery life

4.1.2 : 1.5/5 sony stock Xperia z frimware

For me 4.4.2 and 4.3 is the best

If you want battery life ONLY and nothing else, so 4.2.2 is good one

Im sorry i mean 4.4.2, does that mean 4.3 is bad and 4.4.2 is worst?
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
No! All of them are good for me :)

But the best battery life was on 4.2.2 but i dont recommend it because its out dated now and some of the new apps/games need 4.4.2 or 4.3

And i told u if you want only battery life and NOTHING else so 4.2.2 have the best battery life ;)

[Xperia Z General] _azeroth_:
Ok, thanks. I guess i just have to stick with 4.3. Coz ive been reading lots of negative comments about battery life in 4.4.2 and i think there is no fix yet.
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
Nope

Battery life is good for me, just update google play service and it will be fine

Im on 4.4.2 now

But better you stay on 4.3 because its alot faster than 4.4.2 ;)
