Will xperia z get 5.0 soon after release?

I am asking this cause it has currently planned upgrade to 4.2 and by the time it gets 4.2 s4 will probably be getting 5.0

Correct me if I am wrong xperia s launched with gingerbread got 4.0 in Q4or so and jb upgrade is in plan....

I really love Z s design and features but if the phone isn't future proof no point in spending 35k

Off topic:when can we say your phone has required "optimum" hardware to run any version of android

It really feels strange that wp8 run fine on dual core 512mb ram IOS runs fine on dual core 512mb ram
But for android 2gb ram and quad core processor still not guarantee best performance and software utilization and ability to run latest version of os

That won't happen. Z will get 5.0 soon after its announced. And don't forget, S4 may get 5.0 2-3 weeks earlier but it will be a buggy firmware as Samsung FW always are. Whereas with Sony you get a much more polished firmware.

Now since some people were whining about Z/ZL having "poor" screens, let me present to you the display analysis of a RETAIL ZL with Sharp panel. (Same as Z)

Contrast Ratio

1569:1

So please, do NOT judge the Z/ZL screen based on DEMO/Review units. Retail models don't come with such pathetic screens. With a retail Z/ZL you'll get a screen every bit as good or even better than HTC One/Butterfly except for viewing angles. S4 I need not even comment, it has the worst flagship screen from a REAL image quality stand point. Cartoon lovers will have a different opinion of course and I respect that.

The greyscale performance of Z/ZL especially is outstanding.

And the cherry on top ? 100% NTSC color gamut

nice one. That will clear some people mind.

 

[quagmire]

randomuser111, It would be great if you post the above values against iPhone 5.. It has become a standard for screen accuracy in recent times

Something like this?

That won't be possible as that would require having both Xperia Z and Iphone 5 along with same testing equipment. But you can cross compare whatever values are available for both.

Some people just can't be happy with 1 proof.

[randomuser111]

Yup. Should be available in local stores for 24.5k or so. And for 23k after few weeks.

Same MRP as Xperia P last year.

 

[theserpent]

Xperia L? When will that be out?

 

[randomuser111]

Same time as SP, couple of days here and there. Official price of L should be out soon.

BTW I think I should skip the Z and wait for the phablet instead. Only 2.5 more months left now for it

@randomuser111 Bro, can you tell me why Sony didn't include a Magnetometer in Xperia SP?

 

[randomuser111]

@randomuser111 Bro, can you tell me why Sony didn't include a Magnetometer in Xperia SP?

I think it's an error in the whitepaper. I'll ask for a clarification soon

Ok Thanks

Bro I recently got a chance to play with both Sony Xperia Z, ZL & I felt that the UI is not as Silky Smooth as LOG. I noticed some shuttering while sweeping Home Screen & little lag (Multitask List was Empty). So, Is Sony planning to release any Firmware Update to eliminate the jerkiness?

 

[randomuser111]

That's due to the Sony widgets. If you remove the widgets that micro sutter will go away. Alternatively you can use GPU rendering and it will be sorted.

But yeah, the 4.2.2 update brings a new kernel and major speed improvements.

I am thinking of going for xperia sp to replace my crap xperia j. There are certain rumours that KLP would be available for quad core phones only. If thats the case then spending 27K on this wouldn't be future proof right? Also does anyone know where i can replace my phone. Its barely 3 months old and in excellent condition.

That's a false rumor and if true also, only applies to Samsung. SP will get KLP 100%.
