Sony Xperia 2013 Thread

[geek_rocker]

I have something else to say about S3 ...my Uncle have S3 and my cousin (his daughter)have grand quattro ...and to our surprise Quattro have better cam then S3 ...a 13k handset have better cam then a 25k handset and we tested it whole day and my uncle was soo sad ...he is now planning a S4 soon

No.

On topic: I hope the Sony learned from thier mistakes and we get an amazing phone with awesome camera, awesome battery life and an awesome design. I'm rooting for you Sony!

Got Android 4.3 update yesterday night Thanks to Sony

Btw I find no changes except new themes like Z1 and white setting page

 

[Hrishi]

Xperia Z1 @ 36.5k Or Wait ?
Not a big fan of limited storage,so staying away from Nexus 5 And G2
Use my device mainly for taking photos and development side by side,now the camera bug related to bootloader is resolved I can consider Z1.
Any thoughts ?

Z1 seems good . Since you are a dev. So its better to go with sony as you know they are more dev. Friendly . Better than LG in this aspect.

Btw , I saw you on XDA. I think you had an LG optimus earlier which took a JTAG trip too.

My understanding is that 4.2 > 4.3 is more of 'under the hood' changes.
The visible changes seem to be restricted to Camera, Stamina mode and Theme.

Sony: Xperia Z1 to Remain Flagship Smartphone in 2014

Woah man. This might be a mistake. With the impending S5 and other phones and the constant hunger of consumerist society to own latest and greatest, this might be a bad move

and @ Topic

Z1 will remain flagship until March 2014

So take a chill pill everyone, especially Rohan.

 

[theserpent]

Sony doesnt need to worry about Shamesung,This year most of the people have realised Sony flagship>S4,Thats why S4 is in the bottom of the list in XDA's most fav phones,I also read S5 will come with samsung CPU,Again a blow to developers.

Sony rumored to consider launching a WP device in 2014 - GSMArena.com news

What do you all think of this?

Rip Nokia

 

[RohanM]

Rip Nokia

RIP sony win phone... Nokia is the king in that territory...

RIP sony win phone... Nokia is the king in that territory...

Yup
Especially cause of the legacy of Nokia and the fan following which can be seen in the GSMArena smartphone championship.

 

[randomuser111]

Yes that's true. I personally don't want them to get into WP8.

 

[RohanM]

Sony Xperia Z1f screen said to outperform the panel on the Sony Xperia Z1

So Finally Sony learned that their display need a serious upgrade.. Good job Sony.

I am not a sony hater at all but my only complaint abt sony is their display [2013 models]

And Happy New Year to All.

Seems like you did some research,LG are not very dev. friendly.LGNPST Is not very easy to use and they need .dll and there is 70% chance that you will brick the device even if you do everything properly.Hence back to Sony,back to flashtool.
Btw.What is the approx. price of Z1 in retail stores,if i order it from amazon or ebay I will have to pay Octroi which is maybe 4.5%
So octroi will be between 1.5-2k

I think in Thane you can get it for 37k in local stores. Maybe less if you bargain hard
