Dissapointed by the xperia Z

First you don't know if it's the game or the phone.....



And 1 hour later you're sure that it's the game and not the phone... that goes fast, I think you just don't know what you want.


I came from the Galaxy Note and there were a lot more custom roms that right, but you're only thinking at one thing:
More options.

More roms doesn't have to mean that things will be optimized, many times it's just a GUI difference, if you just want that why not invest your time learning UCCW the possibilities are endless and the good thing is that you can use the same setup on almost every phone, you can't do that with custom roms.
The biggest downside for me:
Example: Lets say you install Custom rom X made by developer Y, what happens when Developer Y buys another phone and decides not to do anything anymore with Custom rom X, that means no more bug fixes and you're stuck with a rom that isn't supported anymore.
The more custom roms the more chances of that happening.

I have to admit the Xperia Z is a good phone, but I have to say after using my one for a few months it's nothing exceptional. The waterproofing is novel, but somewhat limited due to the fact that the screen is useless while being in water. Also once you try other phones you kinda realise the xperia isn't pushing the boundaries of tech, only that it's probably the best looking phone on the market.

I checked out the tablet, and while it's a nice looking device it's not exactly setting the world on fire. If the screen was like the nexus 10 with the body of the xperia, and the apps of the samsung it would be killer, however it's not and thats the same problem with the phone.

The screen is ok. the ui is pretty, the small apps will never be popular with devs nor as useful as the samsung ones, like multiview.
Again the camera supposed to be stunning, it's good i do agree, better than the S4 no

I bought the xperia z as i hoped it would be the game changer being superior with the camera, better ui and better built and more functional.

While i don't have the money to swap out my phone at the moment, I will be changing it asap as I do feels it's not as useful as i i would like, let alone the battery isn't stellar either.

I left samsung for many reasons UI being the main one, but after leaving the fold for a few months, I shall be returning, i'm not a fan of Samsung and there plastic but there software is really showing it's colours after using something else.
