HTC One Thread

^also it happens to be the benchmark OEM's are most greedy about , so no hope on that front :/

Xperia Z is already cheaper than Butterfly in India by quite a significant amount. And SIV will be much more expensive too

@tkin

Also

1. Gap in performance between S4 pro and s600 is less than the gap between Z - N4 performance

2. It's still gonna be the same phone. Z with S4 pro or S600 doesn't make much of a difference in the consumer's mind. Take S/SL as example. SL is faster than S but in this forum there are still a lot of people who are getting the S. Nobody has any special preference for the SL. And just like S/SL were considered 2012 First half Sony flagship, Z with S4 Pro/S600 will be the 2013 First half flagships. Nobody will steal that title away from you no matter what CPU is inside

when S3 got launched at 38-40k, S2 was priced at ~28k. now S3 is priced at 28k and so S4 should launch with a pricetag of below 40k.

some may even laugh on the 4MP camera. and Xperia Z "may" receive Android 4.2 by the time it launches here. Not so for HTC One. But one of the +ve about Z is being waterproof.

@ marvelousprashant

Here you go. Xperia Z available useable RAM = 1.78GB/2GB.(0.483+1.3) On average you will have 1.3 GB free RAM as can be seen here.

@Sam

Which one would YOU pick out of Xperia Z, ZL, HTC Butterfly and HTC ONE ? BTW Xperia Z pre order shipment will reach Sony Centers/Xperia Stores next week.

 

[marvelousprashant]

That is around 256MB vRAM. Thanks

HTC one

 

[Zangetsu]

Awesome phone.....rocking performance but highly overpriced.

 

[randomuser111]

Hmmmmmmm. Only 1.5 GB RAM is available to users.

Re: HTC One with 4.7" 1080p screen, 1.7GHz Krait 300 processor

^they can reduce price. It is the most important benchmark from end user PoV.

+100000 man

See a pattern here? S/SL 2012 flagship, but Z/ZL will not remain 2012 flagship for long, ultimately Z next will be the 2013 flagship continuing to 2014, while you may not agree I can bet 50% of users here will agree with me. And tell me this, what happens when a phone no longer remains sony flagship, I'm talking about updates. Will S/SL get KLP?

And riddle me this, would it hurt mobile manufacturers to include dedicated gpu vram in their phones?

 

[randomuser111]

S/SL/Ion/Acro S are getting Android 5.0

T/TX/V are only 1 month behind Z/ZL in terms of update preference. Z gets 4.2.1 in March, T/TX/V will get it in April.


And I didn't understand this part of your post
"ultimately Z next will be the 2013 flagship continuing to 2014" What does this mean?

I meant to say Z will be no longer flagship after Q2, the new Z with the upgraded chipset will become the flagship for atleast another year or so.

Flagship is supposed to be the fastest one, right?

 

[randomuser111]

But Z/Z w 600 is far from Sony's fastest phone for 2013 It's only a starter. Main course shall be served later

Kill me nao

 

[randomuser111]

Kill me nao

Okies How would you like to be killed? With a Z ? Or with a Note 2? Or Nokia 3310

With a Geforce Titan

Anyway Sony has other faster phones in plan, do they? Care to tell.


And finally, the Sony Z tab, any idea about its pricing?

 

[randomuser111]

Z Tab price is not too high. In Europe 16 GB WIFI Model will start at about 349 Euro. Lower than the Xperia Tablet S pricing.

Comes out in April in Europe and parts of Asia. India won't get it soon, if you want I can enquire about India launch time and pricing. I would say 16GB WIFI model will be around 27-28. 16GB 3G model around 30, 32 GB WIFI/3G around 33/36.

As for the faster phones, I can't reveal anything publicly now

I could PM you but only if you sign a Full confidentiality agreement


And sorry, Such an expensive murder is not feasible LOL

yeah it looks like ms metro and sony timescape had a baby named sense 5.0 but it looks cool whatsoever

Well, since my funbook died :baghead: I was thinking about buying a next gen tablet, around 20k, that's when the Z tab got my attention, I will probably buy it by july/aug max, hence inquiring about the price. Forget it, shelling out 20k+ for a tab is not worth it for a wifi only model, won't there be any replacement/alternatives for the Samsung Tab 2, its overpriced at 20k and selling like hot cakes, sad for the consumers really, samsung has everything covered.
