I have been reading on some forums that turning off NFC improves the battery life considerably, and don't forget to enable the battery save mode. The Sony website officially rates battery life at just over 6hrs viewing a 1080p movie, so that is what you can expect I guess. Mine arrives next week so I'll find out soon.
this or 32gb5s?
they need to work on their battery life cause it suck so bad
Does it support LTE bands in United States? Anybody?
lol i must agree with u then, hows the battery life ? and do u think its worth trading my htc one for the z1 or just wait for the next htc flagship
yeah i have the same problem, i believe its the internet connection. ive only watched youtube videos using 3g and its livable, but on wifi its just as good as on a computer. Might be better using 4g connection but not sure ah well
why would u buy s4 or xperia when htc one is there, the KING !
lol!
no1 every1 is wealthy enough to buy a brand new device…
I just got the phone watching vid on youtube the quality not that great any one havevthe same problem?
Yeah well I got the ZL, imagine my pain
this is my dream phone :,( i cant wait to get it, it has EVERYTHING
Wow, suck that IPhone 5s!
Can somebody tell me if you can finally create folders on the menu list? That really bugged me about the xperia series.
yeah i had the experia z, and now have just got the Z1, and wow, let me tell you, it is ever so much better in all areas by a million miles, really, its that much better.
GSM Nation has them, you'll just need a service provider. I'm pretty sure this is my next phone… but it's not cheap!
I wish they would set a release date for American so I don't have to consistently check for one.
fuck i got the xperia z and now there is the z1 …..MY HEART HURTS ….2 year contract …why must you do this to mee :'(
dude please this trick is old fashion now , we all know this is the best screen in our days
what the price?
big disapoint with screen 🙁
really poor screen , viewing angle is sh*t, quality also not comparable with htc one or galaxy super amoled
can you use a pencil as stylus? and less importantly but a cool feature sony has in previous devices, double tap to unlock?
Great 🙂
Finally, sony fixed that laggy old software.
Don't trust xperia phones in INDIA……….
POOR service support….
In case of any minor problems also, They used to exchange the whole phone buy paying 60% of the phone amount
Buy apple or samsung GOOD SERVICE SUPPORT
Think speakers and call quality are basics that all the above 3 premium manufacturers have set great standards in already.
It's the other stuff ie screen size, UI, individual features (s-pen/water-resistance etc) that makes it tough to decide.
Mi próximo smartphone!!! Es una bestia!!
dude sell it, lose 75 tops if your not dumb with it, and QUIT BITCHING ROFLMAI PWNED NUB
CS_TANK 2002 R.I.P.
Any device looks premium when put next to a Samsung.
Your English is terrible. The UI on the Z Ultra and Z1 are not laggy at all. I was fortunate to be able to test a Z Ultra and a Z1 a friend of mine own, and they were fluid and smooth running smartphones. They also have a premium feel that Samsung simply cannot match with plastic, glass and more plastic.
You obviously haven't seen it in person.
why'd you choose the S4 over the HTC One?
Same here.. I can't decide which one I will get. Iphone 5s looks nice with new camera and fingerprint thingy, but too small screen. Note 3 awesome actually, but not sure I would like it. In the other hand Sony untrustable.. not sure if they support their costumer, how is call quality, how is speakers etc…
Can you recieve/decline call by voice command with this phone? Or will have to buy samsung one/moto x one? 🙁
just when im about to throw my xperia s and going for htc one, xperia z1 brings me back to the bright side. im a sinner, forgive me sony.
Why is it that whenever a new phone comes out and is reviewed on YouTube, the first page of comments has someone who says "shut up and take my money"?
Why would I get the One when I can get the Note 3 instead?
This is a Note 3 vs iPhone 5S argument.
HTC One is too big a phone with a miserly 4.7" display. I hate huge bezels.
you're joking right?
you know the htc one may have a gold version as well, and trust if you like the note you'll feel restricted after a few days of usage of the 5s. And you will hate the tiny screen. With the htc one you can get the gold colour and retain most of the most features since its android. And honestly if you discount opinionated feature sets, the htc one and the iphoen 5s is more or less equal, better screen on the one, better camera on the 5s, speakers vs finger print scanner, and the one is cheaper.
sony is the king of troll, buddy !! It announces Z2 the very next day Z1 is bought 😉
Still not launched in Egypt or Saudi Arabia only z ultra
my dream phone really want it. but i need to know when can i get it in egypt for a reasonable price. neeeed
definitely my dream phone.. but i'm still in the middle of a 2-year long contract (and barely even halfway through) ….
its my dream phone…. *drool*
Z1 looks great (I had the Xperia Tablet Z a few weeks agoâ€â€Âamazing piece of engineering that, but I returned it cuz I couldn't justify the price considering my lack of use since I already had the Note 2). However, the camera thing is the main that stands out. Rest is tbh sorta meh for me. That's why I skipped on the S4 as well. The S-pen and 3GB of ram and the larger screen are standout features for the Note 3.
I'm leaning towards the iPhone 5Stho for some reason. Just love that Gold. Time 4 chg?
Z1 is newer than Z????
it looks better s4 …
in 2 weeks i bet there will be another xperia phone lol, it keeps happening
