That's due miscalibration in the unit they received. In my Xperia Z review ill include my Own contrast, white and black levels and color accuracy data

If I compare Xperia Z with iPhone 4's retina screen how much is the difference in contrast and viewing angles?

Around 600:1 but those are of early batches with faulty calibration. Properly calibrated would be usual 1000:1.
Viewing angles horizontal upto 70 degrees and vertical 45 degrees you wont find much difference.
180/90 degree is a different story but then who looks at the screen from those angles. For watching a movie or game with a friend its fine. Much better than S

Why sony why? 441ppi screen but such in such a low contrast. Maza kirkara hogaya. Do you have any idea why sony don't use S-LCD technology?

Peak Oil is real!
1080p on a phone is totally unnecessary... Wastes processing power and battery drains faster, with no visible improvement in display. This is just a spec race, and no company can afford to stand still and improve existing tech. They just have to keep leaping forward, which is sad.
Also, Sony phones won't succeed in India because their dealer network is very poor compared to Samsung. My brother contacted a Sony phones dealer, the only one in 3 districts in Western Maharastra, to open a new retail shop for Sony phones. The margins offered were pathetic... Only 4% on MRP + 250 rupees on each phone sold above their quota. No wonder Samsung sells 10x more phones than Sony in India...

Rider, contrast ratio I already mentioned is not 600 on retail devices. Asian models have proper calibrated screens. I'll measure contrast ratio of Indian model and let you know.
Also Sony is using IPS panel but the viewing angles are affected slightly due to Opticontrast layer sony uses. It improves on angle image quality sacrificing viewing angles.
The panel is NOT of lower quality. It covers NTSC 100% color gamut, something you dont find in most high end laptop and monitors either.

Dude, I know everything about Nexus 4. IPS screens are good screens but takes more power than S-LCD3. So overall S-LCD3 is the best.I'd say IPS takes the cake, check the Nexus 4 screen
Totally agree with you man. 1080p screen is pretty much useless. Scientifically a human eye can not differentiate pixel richness above 300ppi with the distance of 2 feet that normal people use. This is why apple first introduced with this technology called retina display. I will not surprised if these phone manufacture companies start selling flagship phones with 4k screen in couple of years with above 5.5" size.
And about marketing and margin you are correct. All sony products have very less margin compared to other brands.
Seriously overpriced.
Please explain the difference between angle image quality and viewing angles. I didn't get it. NTSC 100% colour gamut sounds awesome.

rider, watch this video
OptiContrast is what Sony uses in its BRAVIA TVs. Basically its a resin layer that is placed between the panel and the touch panel. It boosts contrast when viewing on angle and reduces reflections as you can see here

Apparently the MRP for this month (pre budget) has been fixed at Rs.37990. By next month it will be Rs.39990 or up.
@37990 MRP I would expect street price of around 34.5-35k.
