Most of you have been complaining about how crap is Sony etc etc. Just because they don't give you HDMI sources or Jelly Bean or whatever, doesn't make them bad.
Just a video, what I found on YouTube, that Sony can be better than Samsung.
Feel free to post more stuff if you wish.
Sound on headphiones much loder then on any htc or apple or any other phone i think is about 20% louder
The colors look more saturated on GSII, but more real on Arc. IMO
Another thing that I like of Sony (and the reaason why I'll stick to their phones) is their UI, they take care of almost every single detail, the icons, the music player, everything.
Very nice video

I dont think so it isnt louder at all but yes mayb good quality earphone
I like that sony sell device cheaply. At any price point sony hardware are better than other oem.
There's plenty of other thing that i like on Sony's. And my final grip on sony suckness has been remedy by Google abandoning nexus s and xoom at 4.1.

I guess Sony is back with a vengeance. I like many things that Apple and Samsung bring to the mobile market, but I'm tired of watching this duopoly develop, so I'm glad to see more competition and a disruption to that dupoply. I don't know where all you guys live, but where I live, almost ALL of the Samsung phones are almost as expensive as the Apple ones and at that they are all black retangular boring objects with NO differentiation. I'm glad to see NEW price points, COLOUR and CHOICE. Sadly, HTC, Sharp and others seem to have been falling apart in the last couple of years so any more competition is good.
(As for the resources, if you Google the stories you'll find a resource that you may prefer, these two were more credible for me.)

apparently steve jobs took inspiration from sony devices when designing the iphone. I read about it on xperia blog a couple of months ago
Possibly, but this must've been before there were smartphones, when the closest thing were PalmOS, Samsung devices pre iPhone looked like the iPhone, funny how nobody really knows that, and obviously iOS is very similar to PalmOS. But it's easy to nit pick, I don't really know what Sony phones used to look like...

Hdmi is ``a big'' difference, without adapters.
The HDMI sources isn't a great argument to hate them, if they write it themselves, which the probably do as they specialize in different electronics that use their code, most likely at least, so it's no surprise the its closed source, as it cost them money.
Anyway on a side note of that, I'm using Xperia ultimate HD 2, which is based on stock 4.0.4, so it has HDMI on the stock, I don't know why people would want to cripple their phone by using a limited version of a ROM, missing out on Sony's added apps, like X-Loud, Bravia Engine, HDMI, and a 3rd party camera app that sometimes is lower quality. It just isn't worth it IMO, if you're buying a phone like this you want the best you can get from the hardware and software, and Sony do a pretty good job with their version of Android. Let us not forget they gave us ICS before anyone outside Google.

Look at the button layout. It's exactly the same as the 4S. Hold button followed by 2 circles.
Look at the screen size, exactly the same as 4S, even I don't think they'd go miniature again when most phones at +/- 4.2"
Earpiece - exactly the same
Camera & LED flash - exactly the same position
Fruit logo and phone info on back - exactly the same position (if you've ever used an iphone)
The rear glass (and front glass if you're feeling brave) can be changed relatively easily, many friends have done it with different colours etc - this is just another different back for the phone.
Should I go on....

If you look at the history of fruit phones, they change the designed every 2 phones (ignore 2G)..

A set of rendered photos depict a what fully-assembled version of Apple's 2012 iPhone may look like, based on previously leaked components [updated].
The renders, which were published by Chinese site iPhone中文网 (Google Translation, via MacOtakara), are based on rumors that have suggested the next iPhone will have a smaller dock, larger speakers and a metal back. While the original report was duped by the pictures, they originally stem from a Flickr user, who explained they were modeled in Rhinoceros 3D and are an authentic looking forgery.

I read that the jury skipped over the majority of prior art because it was "bogging us down" So even though yes this is excellent proof the jury probably would not have even glanced at it because the American jury system is filled with incompetent morons who can't be bothered to do their DUTY
Facts have no place in US Patent law or Religion so you wasting your time pointing out what's right and wrong, because both only care about twisting the facts to screw people over.
Can that picture really fight with this one, I don't think so.
The moment Apple showed this, it was over. Any human being who is not an Android fanboi will look at this image and see that one of these products clearly copied the other.
It's not about rectangles being similar either, HTC and Motorola make rectangular phones too, but they didn't get sued because their phones do not copy iPhone.

Have to agree about it being dead around here. There was some activity at first when there a was a prize on offer...but since then, dead
I must admit I knew that if I wanted loads of development I should have bought the Nexus 10. Buying the SXTZ came with the risk of little or no development...and that risk has turned into reality.
On the other hand, the stock ROM is pretty good and at the moment going to a custom ROM means you'll lose more useful features than you gain.
All I really want on top of stock is Nova launcher and PIE/LTA so I can lose all the navigation/notification/status bars. That's why I've gone to PAC.
But I've lost my warranty, GPS, DRM keys, HDMI out, being able to charge with tablet off, and a few other things.
I sometimes wish I'd bought the Nexus 10...but I'm telling myself I've got to kick the ROM-flashing habit.
Oh well, at least I've got my Nexus 4 to keep me occupied

I just don't comprehend why Sony products are favored by developers.... Sony offers so very much better support than other OEMs, like Samsung and HTC, and send updates ,such faster than other OEMs as well. It seems like Sony would/should be a developer favorite, the only thing I can think of is that no major Sony flagship smartphones are carried by the major US carriers, AT&T and T-Mobile have carried 1 or 2 but Verizon hasn't had one since the Play, but there should still be more development.
The price tag is another thing hindering development but not much, the other tablets I was looking at before I purchased the XTZ offered much less for the same amount or more, really the price is not too bad when you think about it. The LTE model is overpriced, $900 in the US when I bout my WiFi model, but I would guess the reason for that would be to deter people from buying it off contract. If money is the issue there have still been major amounts of development on phones and tablets with the same, or higher, price tag, I paid less for my XTZ than my Note 2 or any other phone I've bought in the past few years, so there has to be something I am missing.

Thread tile reads PHONE ARENA. but the URL is of FONE ARENA. Two different web sites.
FONE ARENA isn't a site that comes recommended very highly. This is just a people's vote. Meh. What's popular isn't always the best.
As for PHONE ARENA, the reviews of the two phones are already out.
Z1 - 9.2 & 1020 - 8.5
These scores are by the reviewers of that site.
Better comparison would be Z1 vs 1520. Same size sensor for a start.
1520 - 9.0
Nokia has the better software because WP8 allows manual focus, shutter speed selection & RAW which android still does not permit.

Because it's actually a good camera. Considering there's such a hoo-ha about how great the camera on the Z1 it actually is a joke. It's grainy and generally an all round crap camera. My galaxy s3 takes better photos.
The only reason why I had to ditch windows phone is cause the notification system doesn't work properly, everything else about it is fantastic.
Nokia made some terrible choices but they without a doubt make damn good phone-camera mash ups which is more and more important now.

Z1 - 9.2 & 1020 - 8.5
These scores are by the reviewers of that site.
Better comparison would be Z1 vs 1520. Same size sensor for a start.
1520 - 9.0
Nokia has the better software because WP8 allows manual focus, shutter speed selection & RAW which android still does not permit.

FONE ARENA isn't a site that comes recommended very highly LOL Check the site's stats you will come to know is it recommended or not...Site has got extremely awesome record and one of the best Tech site startups ever made by any "individual person" on Planet Earth. ( Millions of traffic it has got daily ).
If you don't know about its Alexa Rank, Page Rank and traffic stats and reader's strength then don't pass your judgement..!!!
Rest whatever you said about Z1, I agree.
Was going to vote Nokia cause it looks and feels nice compared to Z1 but what makes a phone a phone is the UI and apps. So I choose Z1 cause of android almost limitless customization options and huge number of app selection which no other phone has.

Crap? lol. People are so extreme, either it's the best camera ever or the worst camera ever. The Z1's camera's no way a joke. It's not the best but it's not crap either.

To be really blunt, when you move to updated hardware, no matter which device you had before you should expect to excel and be better in every department than your old hardware. It technically might be there... But the fact superior auto mode is absurdly inferior to what I get off much older hardware is very very bad.

Pulls loads of fanboys and i'm going by what other people said elsewhere about it. Couldn't care less about their stats. Voting polls are such a great way to push said stats up isn't it.
So i will repeat it again. fone arena (with an F) isn't a site i'd bother with.
Only thing stopping the 1020 from being more popular is the asinine pricing of it in India. Hello Nokia! your other models were cheaper and actually offered serious competition so WTF did you price the 1020 more than the note 3.

I don't like long goodbyes, so I'll be brief. I got myself a Google nexus 5, and so i'm stopping with testing and flashing x10. A lot of thanks to this community which have helped me since 2009. It was fun and great with you all. Of course I'll be checking in every now and then to see the progress on the developments.
Since 2009, my x10 has gotten three lives thanks to some great developers, and it still is running great.
bye bye

Keep us/me updated about how good/bad nexus 5 feels than a sony flagship. I'm thinking to change device as well
And also good luck mate. Was pleasure reading your results...
Hi all,
You really can't compare a 2009 Somy flasgship with a 2013 Nexus.
If I'd compare the Nexus 5 with the current Sony flagships (Z1, Z2, etc.) than i would definitley choose the Nexus 5.
Reason for that is that i like the pure Android experience. This is what Google has meant. LG has made the hardware and they've used the exact samen hardware for their own LG G2. So, no difference there.
But in the software they have added their one stuff. And all the others (Sony, HTC, OPPO, etc.) are doing the same.
But Android is complete already. Google itself has all the stuff i need.
Sure, other brands have somy nifty stuff build in. But all the populair stuff they create will be ported or recreated very fast. So other devices/users can use it also.
But (IMHO) most of the stuff they build is marketing. The intended and needed functionality is already on Android.
As for performance. You can't beat this device. But should you?
The HTC One, or the LG G2 are also really fast! I sure cannot notice the difference in their performances.
And if i add up the price you pay for a Nexus..... Choice wasn't that hard for me.
Best regards,
UltimateGeppie
By flagship, i meant the Z1, Z ultra etc. I heard from a lot of people that sony devices are underpowered. Read on reviews also that the 20.3 mp of Z1 could not win over wide functionality of nxs 5 and note 3 camera. Sony has good hardware but they lag on software side. Like you see, S4 is packed with sensors. Even though they're gonna copy the idea of water resistance and finger detector in S5 but people are still gonna prefer it over Z2.
Nxs 5 outnumbers all the flagships out there and that too in a reasonable price.
Iphone is expensive sh*t. The best, but useless....
Good Bye my dear friend Even some people may leave from this "X10's base" We are family in every place FeraLab Corporation never forget their soldiers !!!

Yeah I've got a Z1 and a note 3. I've found myself using my note 3 on a daily basis. Everything seems better with it.
But the Z1 has a better feel to it. Although I'm starting the like the leather feel on the note 3 more each day.
It's a shame. Sony have a good ui and build, they just can't seem to get it right. Even with the camera. my note 3 takes faster/better pics.
BTW selling my Z1 if anyone's up for an upgrade to their X 10

LOL This post pretty much explains which device you prefer.
Galaxy s5 looks more promising than Z2. Sony have got the potential but their ethics to keep everything ORIGNAL are letting them down. Samsung, cheating and stealing other brands' main things are growing so high. Nexus 5, being simple and cheaper yet more powerful is gonna ve my next choice.
Sony devices have low resale value. Samsung, iPhone can be sold in price comparable to brand new

Yeah I think it's the display. So much nicer on the note 3.
Although sony look like they got it right with the Z2. It'll be good to see it in person instead of reviews on YouTube. I was holding out for the Z2, but sony took too long in announcing a release date.

Yeah the Z2 is gonna be a badass walkman-cum-cybershot like the old sony quality. But s5 is still gonna outrun z2 with it's feature
P.S- i myself don't like Samsung but they have done really good job this time
