OT: Is this an X10 in an anime?

I was just watching a anime called "Health and Phys Ed for 30 Year Olds" and grabbed this screen shot. Think it's a X10? It's the first time I've noticed that they didn't have a flip phone, and there are few phones with only three keys on the face. (Other character have PSPs to play with).

Looks like it!

x8 maybe?
good find!

nha it's an x10
x8 is smaller

The X10 is very popular in Japan, so I think he deserves to perform in an anime

Oh thats definetly a X10. Lol good looking OP.

Yippie my phone's in an anime! But it looks a bit thicker though. Haha.

If you look at it carefully, it looks more like an X8 or mini, because there is no silver line on the side, and it seems as the back cover is covering the sides.

If you look good it's a x10 or x10 mini pro. Just can't see if you can slide it or not.

There is a grey line..... It's an anime is isn't going to be 100% the same, they could get sued over that
That is definitely an x10

Unboxing video

Don't think this has been posted, but apparently this danish site got a "close-to-final" retail sample and has put up and unboxing + review of it.
It's danish, but everyone can see the unboxing.

Must admit, I had the same feeling after watching that and sticking to my HOX. I'm not gonna cancel my pre-order though, I'm sure I'll love it when it comes.

I'm of the opposite opinion. It's looking better as I see it being handled more and more by reviewers. A big issue with phones this size is usability with one hand. Contrary to the specs it seems the Samsung may actually be narrower than the One X, and the rounded profile will give better reach. I like my One X very much. It's built stunningly well and feels very good in the hand, but even with my good sized guy hands I can just barely reach the ends of the screen as well as the hard buttons at the bottom without repositioning my hand.
The strengths and weaknesses of these two phones complement each other so well that there's nothing between them overall net. (The One XL has none of the problems the One X does since they have different chipsets and screens). Thankfully that glossy battery cover of the SIII can be changed. It's my biggest issue with this phone. If physical usability in the hand of one is much better than the other it will be the trump imo. I think I will return my One X and wait till the SIII releases. Maybe I'll end up getting another One X, but considering how different these two phones are and considering I'm in this for two years (contract) I want to be sure I'm getting the right one.

How funny they've made a magnetic cover for it like what the iPad 2 has.

That blue colour just looks better and better the more I see it. So glad my pre order of the white version cancelled itself lol

The language reminded me of playing a record backwards. I'm pretty sure a subliminal message was planted in my brain, but what was it?

Thanks OP for the video....I suggest you mention users to mute the video while watching...

Is it me or does that back cover look so much better than any other photo taken from the unpacked event? I mean the back cover and the finish actually looks really nice in the video when he took the phone out of the box
Oddly enough few "hands-on" posts suggests that the phone actually feels nice in hand

This is better than porn! I can't wait to get this phone

Xperia Z vs ZL: Which will you get (or have)

As the title states which would you get and why?
For me, I'm having trouble deciding.. Both are great and extremely similar. I love the waterproof Z. I would totally use it in the shower to text and such. Yet, It's not totally necessary for me to have and I'm loving the look and the compactness of the ZL. Decisions
On another note, Sony's finally doing it right, eh? :victory:

Z. The ZL seems like a dumbed down version even tho its specs are the same of course.

I think they've been pretty spot on since the takeover (mostly). Liked my S.

ZL of course! I love the small form factor

ZL all the way, I was sold when I compared my Xperia T to the ZL at CES. I don't need the water resistant since I've never been stupid to hold my phone over water and drop it, also I use headphones a lot, so the cover would annoy me. The reason that really made me sell my T for the ZL was the screen size, .5 inch screen size bigger than my T and being almost the same size phone?. That was a no brainer for me. Also the thin bezel makes the phone look that much amazing.

Rain ? Water splash from a car ? Spilled drink ? It's not just for dropping it into water
Anyway, I got the Z because i love the design. ZL is almost identical but i wanted waterproofing and glass back. Luckily this helped me to decide - otherwise I might have considered ZL because of it's slightly smaller build.

There is one reason why I want ZL - camera button.

I've been through so many phones in my life and never had water damage on any of them (knock on wood). I can live without water resistant for for a smaller phone, camera button, better notification light.

Definitely getting the ZL. Compact 5" with shutter key is my choice. Waterproof is not that important to me. To add that those flaps covers the usb port etc are annoying.

I am getting Z.
"Swyped" From My X10Mini Running SevenBean Stable3

if it's between Z or ZL - I will go for ZL. camera button and compact size

i'm confused can't decide.
i like the look of the z but still like others said because of the compactness of the zl i'm leaning towards it. hopefully i won't spill anything on the zl
anyways. z will get launched on 6th in my country and the zl maybe after a month. will compare demo units and make a decision.

Almost a year with my Xperia Z

I only want to share with you how much i am happy about this phone.
I use it a lot for work on the road, i'm a business developer and so i usually have to share files, browse the Web, use social networks and so on.
The phone works very well in every task, even in basilar photoshooting for live events, making basilar video editing, etc.
But what makes me really happy is the strength of the building. My phone fallen a lot of time on the ground, in the water, in the bathroom, I use it under the shower, and lot of other things.
One week ago the best example: I forgot my Xperia Z on the roof of my car
After 500 meters i hear a sound on the car and then looking in the mirror I see the telefone flying on the street on the other side of the street.
I turned the car and run to take the phone, in the mean time two cars jumped on it...
The result? Some scratches on the rubber bezel (very light scratches!).
My phone don't have cases... Only one film on the front and one on the back (those who came whith the phone).
The phone has no issues! It's a pleasure to know that i can use my phone in every situation!
Wow!

my phone still is all fonctionning and after unlocking it and installing the PAC rom 4.3.1 i'm more happier that ever...!!!
this phone is just perfect... i compared it with the Z1 of one of my friends... u don't really sens the difference... yes! Z1 is more powerfull but Z is more beautiful and and more... more... more a personnal phone...
for me... best phone ever!

I have Z for 11 months.
It was good enough to not rush to get Z1. Which I will skip maybe,
just to get the next flagship.
Now Z seems similar to Z1 in speed and performance.

I have my z for 6 months. And I think it is a great terminal I will not need to upgrade to a new smartphone for now.

Mine is 6 months now.. Already got 3 replacements....

I've got 11 months. I was always good! Great phone. Especially because the xperia z has brought new aesthetic in home sony.

I've got z1 but still i have my xZ with me, not willing to sell this beast
Both xZ and xZ1 are awesome mobiles.

I have mine over a year, and would not change it for anything. Well maybe something with a better camera. If they will make an Z2 with dual sim then that's my new phone

I even accidentally dropped in the toilet, and was extremely glad about the water resistance

I'm on to my third. The first one had its back peeling off. The second screen broke after falling 3 foot on to a tiled floor. IMO the phone is just as fragile as any other.

Tough call. I had a G2 which I really liked but it was slippy and the back creaked next to the volume/on off button controls which was annoying. I still have my Xperia Z and still use it regularly (main phone now is the ZL). The Z is a nicer build quality, feels better and looks better. Frankly, the camera is better on the G2, it is faster and the screen is much better but it's awkward to hold and doesn't have the Z wow factor...

I've had my Z 6 months coming from a nexus 4,at first I wasn't impressed but since 4.3 I have fell in love with it the performance is good now, plus with custom kernel I have gamma and the screen looks great now,also camera is great in good conditions and being able to use in the rain a must in the UK.

I to loved my xz.realy like the design so much.the only problem is the backplate has lifted up.
Im afraid to get it into water.
I think wanna change to g2 now. Thanks for your advice friend

I've had my Z for 11 months now.
Overall this is probably the best phone I've had in terms of performance. For all the stick Sony gets for slow updates my Z is a completely different phone from when I first got it. Each update has made it better. With the latest firmware it's actually a faster phone than it was a year ago.
In terms of wear and tear my Z has had 3 major falls on concrete from my pocket. It's always been naked except for front and back screen protectors and hasn't really sustained any cosmetic damage from the 3 falls.
However sometimes the proximity sensor and headphone jack will stop working. When this happens I have to press on the proximity sensor quite hard and it'll be back to normal. Whether this is due to the falls or water damage (the white water strips have turned pink) I'm not sure. I'm still under warranty so hopefully I can get this fixed.
Other than that the seals on the flaps are loose therefore it's a bit difficult to close the ports.
I'm really considering getting the Z1 because I feel that it addresses all the flaws of the Z. Open headphone jack and magnetic charging so need to bother with the flaps. I sync my Z over Wi-Fi so I don't need to open the usb port. Finally the 3000 mAh battery on the Z1 addresses the biggest flaw of the Z, the bad battery life. I usually get 4 hours of screen on time on average.

Stereo Speakers Comparison: Sony Xperia Z2 vs HTC One 2014

Sounds pretty good on the Sony to me. Crisper and not as distorted at high level as on the HTC.

The Sony sounded good for me too. Personally I think the Z1 was already very listenable at high volume in a store, no excessive tests done. The HTC was total crap, at least in that video. Wouldn't listen to that.

I have the HTC One currently, and tentatively planning on the Z2 for my next phone. Just for the record, the HTC One has excellent sound, the best I've ever heard on a phone. So the fact that it sounds crappy in that video is more a reflection of how bad the recording/environment there is than anything else. Speaker quality is very important to me, so I'm eager to see some reviews of the Z2 in better surroundings. Even if it's not quite as good as the HTC One that would be OK for me. I think it will be hard to top the One.

They both sounded horrible listening to it from my Xperia Z ultra

it is clearly in par with the one .. if not sounding better but htc one is also kinda last years device ... so the real test will be against HTC ONE 2 or whatever it is going to be called .

true most websites throwing up comparisons at the moment are only Z2 and S5 as the newest handsets anything else in the comparisons is last years model from manufactures.

Xperia Z2 is better than HTC One for me. Its sound have more dimension than HTC One although the sound is not clearer than HTC one

I think this one gives a better comparison

Yes much better indeed. Nice volume with the Sony and great clarity with the HTC, as expected. Curious to see how the Sony compares to the M8.

Z2 wins my heart also in speakers out of all phones on the market including m8. it stands strong against m8 - it's even better in some types of music. it's truly amazing what sony did here - the best speakers on the market there with m8 yet it's completely water and dust proof! unheard of! overall, Z2 smashes m8.

yeah. the fact that non waterproof electric device survives water is basically luck. my iphone also survived the toilet. it's like playing with fire. smartphones are too expensive to not care about it.

M8 is actually water resistant in a way it has IPX3 or something like that so basically it can survive water splashes/ rain and in that video 97minutes under the water ? but yes not as much as z2.
