Finally replaced my xplay (bad flex cable) with a galaxy s3. A friend got a free upgrade to the s5 and sold me this for just $80. Was great fun for the year I had the xplay but I'm finally moving on. Good luck all with 4.4.

I'm not sure whether I posted here. If I did not then I'd post again. :p
I bought a Z1. Awesome device... BUT THE SPEAKERS ARE RUBBISH. Actually my back glass broke on the Z1 and I lost the flap. I'm going for a holidays so I'd like to use it's wateproof capabilites so the Z1 is now in the repair store.
I'd write up a short comparison

Screen - much better on the Z1
Multitasking - Z1 obviously
Overall speed on a clean rom - ACTUALLY NOT THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE ON BASIC APPS!
Speakers - useless on the Z1 - golden on the Xperia Play - I was actually amazed by how good they are after I got back to the Xperia Play
Heat - Xperia Play is cooler
Weight and size - I prefer the size of the Z1 and it's screen real estate. Much heavier than a Z1.

but the biggest downside compared to the Z1 is the battery. That's what really hurts me now.
All those good memories of flashing when I was here on the XDA as a newbie came back to me as I got back to the Xperia Play. It's such a great device for doing this stuff. :D

TBH? Better SoC and battery on the Xperia Play and I'd stay with it. :p

    Moved onto a Nexus 5. Still have my play. I don't have the heart to sell it. But between my N5 and Moga Hero. I find myself using my play less and less. Then again my nephew is using it for a month in London.

    I have gone through 3-4 phones and still have my play. So no reason to sell it just because I bought another phone.

    I'll move onto a Moto X very soon but I will keep my XP as a 2nd device (casual gaming) and waiting if nickholtus have the magic to get a fully functional 3.4 kernel (hopefully because this phone and his community deserve it) :fingers-crossed:

    All hail the xperia play! :)
