Sony screwed up the Xperia Z

[ratcom]

Also *GASP* a phone lose battery while doing intensive benchmarks I am soooo shocked. Obvious troll post.

I'm sorry but I agree "that" much battery use is crazy bad so much so I'm sure this will not be the case on production models.

Thats because of benchmarks
Xperia p loses 20% with benchmark (antutu)

ithwalk there

Yeah, well the Z can score higher than that -- and with XDA here, it's bound to go higher than 22.000

I don't know what Sony's game is, but why the onscreen buttons? That only takes away from the display! For some reason, only the GNex looks good with those, maybe because it doesn't have any extra buttons?
Anyways, I still think the best buttons were on the HTC Desire. You couldn't miss those.

Personally onscreen buttons for me are much better than physical buttons, whats more is that they can disappear when in full screen, not the same can be said for my s2's hardware buttons which light up 24-7.

Same here. I don't want 179 degrees viewing angle, I want to see my screen, not that people around me will see what I'm texting with other people

battery 24 hours is sufficient .. really! who needs more practically.. xperia z is comfy with that
development wise sony is freakin awesome. they provide sources , stay close to aosp and qcomm codeaurora keeps getting regular updates on the latest android versions
chipset is same as n4
sony design aesthetics are beautiful and premium.


sammy.. low build quality. no aesthetic design gui and both hardware wise.
development support = 0.
developers always frustrated
their updates are a year late with security and brick bugs.

Guys the final software is out today. Also the battery is very good for what's packed in. All day use...

You've made like the same post twice, it's as if your convincing yourself on buying the Xperia Z instead of any other device, If your going to get it, good, i mean the Xperia Z is not the BEST phone in the world, it really suits different people, some prefer the note 2 for work and buisness and some prefer the s3 for its lightness and performance, its a matter of choice really, i mean its not as if the whole reason you get a phone is because of AOSP roms or CM, its because of the hardware really, if you feel strongly about roms buy a nexus 4 !

Figured to ask here since Google didn't answer me sufficiently.

Does the z have a proper notification light? As in proper; preferably multiple colors, but hopefully at least a light.. If not then "Sony screwed up the z"

Notification lights are multi-color LED's I think so they can have more colors

So if it has one, it would be multi-color and I highly doubt the fact that the phone won't have a notifocation light

Xperia Z has a notification light but it's like the old notification leds(Small dot which blinks) like on other android handsets unlike the Xperia ZL that's located on the lower part which changes color based on the display's color.

AW: Sony screwed up the Xperia Z

When i see this as a ex- xperia s user I dont understand why you even whine more. The device isnt released come on.

Ummm I should point out the S3 gets around the 9000 range in Antutu and the Nexus 4 which runs the same processor as the Z gets around 16,000 which about in line with that benchmark so... wtf are you talking about.

Nexus has throttle even on low temps. Thermal is fixed on root and it's possible to get 18/19k with stock frequencies.

Yes has notification light in different colours. Can't set them though in stock software that I can see.

@Limestar I have been trying to find out about the audio of the xperia z but no such luck so far. Could you comment on how loud the phone is for example is it louder than the xperia s/t and ARC the Arc/PLay has been the best sony phone in recent years for audio as they are both loud and have excellent bass. MY Galaxy note 2 is loud enough but lacks bass, the xperia t had loads of bass but lacked the loudness so in the street u can hear everything around.

 

[limestar]

With headphones plenty loud enough. The speaker on the phone is loud enough four notifications and YouTube videos. But it's only one speaker. If you meant headphones you will have no problem.

I was indeed talking about headphones. I heard the loudspeaker and earpeice are loud all these things on the xperia t were not great tbh. as long as the xperia z is as loud as the arc/PLAY or galaxy s3/gn2 is and produces bass like the ARC/PLAY/Xperia T, ill be more than happy. Can't wait to get my hands

Does the Xperia Z/ZL have xloud support still or was it replaced by clearaudio?
