Guys do you think Sony will give Xperia M 4.4 kitkat update? Because Sony in the past has been very poor with updates for example xperia sola did not get any update despite having a dual core cpu and mali 400 gpu so am very skeptical about Sony.

Xperia Z1 Preview by GSMArena

Sony Xperia Z1 preview: A closer look - GSMArena.com

Galaxy Note 3 and Xperia Z1 play UHD video



Strange how the Gnote 3 with 3GB RAM is struggling to playback 4K video whereas Z1 is playing it butter smooth

Z1 Official MRP Rs.42990

Freebies -


5000mAh portable battery charger
Accidental Damage Insurance
Premium Case

Available for sale from 18th onwards.

42k is very nice price for this considering it is including Accidental Damage insurance. I hope this will avoid the hassles faced by one of the consumers here whose Xperia z screen broke with no fault of his own. This should become the standard for high end phones now.

Posting a review by a site which i love.

BTW N3 video player is in Software decoder mode. HW decoder is enabled by default so someone changed it to make n3 look laggy

GSMArena review is out. Sadly the camera is disappointing. 1020 still far better

 

[randomuser111]

GSMArena review unit is a pre production model and also with a defective camera, they have mentioned it in the review.

What I don't understand is why they couldn't wait to get a final retail unit with the latest firmware and no defects to publish their review.

Anyway, anybody interested in getting the Z1 should wait until October end to get it. I wouldn't recommend getting the Z1 now due to some hardware issues.

also the camera firmware is half baked. There will be a major update starting around the end of October that will bring a MAJOR jump in quality.

Actually, it looks like there's a lens defect as the image just right of the center looks softer than it should be (we even checked for smudges on the camera and retook the photos). Still, you need to keep in mind this is a pre-production unit we have here for a review (one obtained from Sony itself nevetheless) so quality control oversights are possible.

Too big body for a 5 inch phone this is the first thing I will stay away from it.

Curse the display tech Sony uses. Whopping talk-time but below par browsing/video-playback ? The display is a power hog. Sony really needs to rectify this. And this can't be rectified by any kind of software update.
