You can actually use 13MP on the xperia Z's camera, but when your using superior auto you can only use 12
Intro
Hello there people, I decided that I/we should have a topic specially for those who want to buy the Xperia Z or want to know certain things.
The forum (Xperia Z section) will grow and grow because more and more people will buy the phone and many of them will have the same questions, so to prevent them for making the same topic over and over, they can find their answers in here.
I'm just going to make a q&a( question and answer) list so that some things can be cleared up for the people that are still in doubt.
Everyone is free to post some questions (and answers) in this topic, I will edit them in the first post.
Q: Is the Xperia Z water resistant or water proof?
A: The phone is water proof, you can hold it under water (1 meter/ +- 3feet) for 30minutes.
Although its not advised that you hold the phone in water that contains acids like sea water which contains salt.
Q: Since the phone is water proof how will the warranty system work?
A:
Q: Does the touch screen still works while it's under water?
A: The touch screen doesn't work while the phone is fully under water, so the touch screen will work while you're taking a shower, as long as there aren't too many drops on the screen. The screen itself will keep working so watching a movie for example shouldn't be a problem.
Q: Does the phone support 64gb cards?
A: Yes it does [Confirmed] (Thanks to: hush66 )
Source: Click!
Q: Does the phone have a notification led?
A: Yes, in the upper right corner. "It works for notifications (SMS, Whatsapp, etc) as well as charging indicator."[Confirmed] (Thanks to: hush66 )
Q: Is there a dock included when I buy the phone?
A: Depends on the country you order it from
Q: Oleophobic coating? What's that?
A: Source: Wikipedia. A lipophobic coating is used on the touchscreens of Apple's iPhones since the 3GS, their iPads, Nokia's N9 and Lumia devices, various Samsung phones such as the Google Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus, the HTC HD2, Hero and Flyer and many other phones to repel fingerprint oil, which aids in preventing and cleaning fingerprint marks.
Q: So does this phone have oleophobic coating?
A: The screen protector which comes with the phone does, the glass screen itself doesn't. (Still needs to be confirmed)
Q: Can I use this phone without a screen protector?
A: Yes you can, but it's suggested that you use a screen protector (The phone comes with a screen protector already applied on the phone)
Q: Will this phone get an update to Android 5??
A: Time will tell (Or Sony)
Q: Can you use secret codes like: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20750699&postcount=72 ???
A:Yes the secret codes work, but they are phone specific. So for example secret codes for the Xperia T might not work for the Xperia Z. (Thanks to: hush66 )
Q: What is stamina mode?
A: "With Battery STAMINA Mode you have more intelligent battery management and can easily improve your standby time by four times or more. Your phone knows when you’re screen is off and shuts down the battery-draining apps you don’t need, then starts them up again when the screen is back on."
Q: Does this phone support 4g?
A: Yes it does [Confirmed]
Version C6603 supports 4G LTE

Not sure, hopefully someone can confirm^Is it possible to disable the LTE option to save battery?
I do not have an LTE Option in my plan so I dont need it.
Yes you can choose what mode you want to use the internet or data in, ie 2G, HSDPA, HSPA+, LTE4G. This is found in settings in mobile internet settings!Is it possible to disable the LTE option to save battery?

But they are selling some experia z ET964 ( I dunno if that is their Item nr or model )
Should I Buy that one or should I look for C6602 , C6603 , or C6606 ??
What is the difference ? Will it work on T-Mobile and witch one ?
Handtec are selling the C6603 model which is the LTE European model! The C6602 model is what your looking for, if you want it to work in the US with Tmobiles network! Also yes the ET964 is handtecs internal ID!I think that the "ET964" is Handtec's own serial number. I Google'd the serial number and the only site that connected "ET964" with the XZ was Handtec.
There is a difference between the 3 models you mentioned, for example 1 or more use different LTE bands then the States so I guess that one wouldn't work for you (Talking about the LTE)
It should work just fine on your T-mobile network(Don't hold my word for it), when you buy the correct version.
(Maybe someone who already pre ordered @ Handtec can confirm which model(s) they are selling.
This topic might clear things up for you:
