Sony Xperia 2013 Thread

There is a different device to replace Xperia L, so don't worry

And the SP replacement for 2014 is more powerful than Galaxy S4

All with IPS screens, to shut up the viewing angle freaks

SP's replacement is looking interesting

Well, on a totally different topic, 4.3 update for Z,ZL,ZR and tablet Z has been released!

 

[sujoyp]

I didnt get the notification yet for ZL but eagerly waiting now

 

[priyankgupta]

Yeah, even I didn't get for ZR. It will take time to arrive in India.

 

[grinning_devil]

Do keep us informed!!!

As expected, Snapdeal realized their mistake and have cancelled the order.
And now have ordered via Indiatimes - after discount vouchers costed me 23200. (Xperia ZL that is )

Guys, can someone please recommend a cover for xperia ZL ? Something slim to avoid a bulge in pocket, leather/PUC will do. Somethign similar to

Need some suggestions !
Or how would a mobile lamination do ?

Wow
A new firmware 15.3.A.1.12 has been certifed for Xperia L,The old version was 15.3.A.0.26 ,As it doesn't change 15.3 to 15.4,I feel it will just be a small firmware update while other's feel it's android 4.3.
If it's 4.3 sony rocks,But sadly it will be the last update to x.l then

Hello Xperians. There is a very good offer for buying ZR at fk. And I want to buy it but after some googling i found that for in-callls and ringtone volume it very low and not satisfactory. Please confirm this.......it is the only thing that is stopping me from buying this phone.

 

[priyankgupta]

You should probably go with Xperia ZL, it is confirmed to get 4.4 update, has IR blaster and 16 GB of internal memory.
If you really require waterproof feature, then only go with ZR.

I can confirm that. And that being the most important function of a phone...

Its absurd that ZR has got such a good rating on fk and the most imp. function of the phone is inferior. BTW thanks for confirmation.

@ priyakgupta

ZL is not my type. I like one hand operation devices.

 

[sling-shot]

My guess is all that waterproofing technology means some changes to the speakers affecting output.

 

[sujoyp]

I think waterproofing with rubber gasket is a risky business...I will remove the USB and 3.5mm gasket daily for use and after sometime they will just fell off due to daily wear n tear ...once they fall off ur phone is no longer waterproof

Possibly. But my Defy+ is still waterproof after nearly two years of use. I think Sony's quality control is as good as Moto's.

ZL is exactly the same size as ZR dimensions wise And thinner.

Guys tell me something ...whats that RAW power everyone is talking about in Nexus 4 ...Its price is exactly same as ZL and ZL beats it on screen size, screen resolution , and every test performed....and ZL will also get 4.4 ...how N4 is great super awesome and not ZL??

There is no RAW power in the Nexus 4 when compared with the ZL. ZL is more poweful than N4 and outperforms it in every benchmark and is much more stable. Nexus 4 suffers from severe thermal throttling.

The main argument is N4 features Vanilla Android so it doesn't suffer from any "bloats" like others which bog down peformance. But this doesn't really apply to Sony devices as Sony's optimization on stock ROM is even better than what Google does with Nexus devices and Sony's skin is very light and does not hog resources like other OEM skins.

My Defy+ is waterproof too in spite of the awful treatment meted out to it by me!!!
That was one of the main reasons why I went for the Xperia Z1!!!
