This is leaked picture of the sony ericsson nozomi, wich will (if we belive the rumors) ship with ICS. So this could be how our ICS uptade will look like...
Update 12.12.2011:

Let's hope not, that looks like a step down from SE's current UI

i think the dockbar looks nice but the wallpaper is ugly. The statusbar is not so good t see....

Isn't that bad, though its horrible compared to Vanilla...

I think it's gingerbread, the folders look the same as sony's current 2.3.X and the notification hasn't changed, they would take everything good away from ICS so yeah... gingerbread

but why would they create an entire new UI for gingerbread when they already have a pretty nice one... The Notification bar is alight but the dock is horrible

The current ui is for the "xperia" range. The nozomi will be the first phone released under the Sony brand. No doubt sony intend to set themselves apart from the SE brand with there own ui.

But at the top of the phone is still sony ericsson and its real name will be xperia arc hd.... That does not sound like a new brand for me...

I actually LIKE the entire UI.

I doubt that. This will be a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc HD or Nozomi. Sony Ericsson phones will still be coming out until mid-2012, that's when the first Sony branded phones will be released. This will likely be the Sony Ericsson ICS interface
Source 1 Source 2 Source 3
P.S. I really like the leaked shots of this phone so far. This may be my 2012 replacement phone if it looks anything like these shots...

I can tell you from experience.the phone is slick. Solid build quality. Very good looking and fast as u know what. I'll see if I can get more hands on time with it. Was only able to play with it for 10 minutes a couple weeks ago. The battery cover and full back has almost a felt or suede feel to it. It was running GB 2.3.5 if I remember correctly.

Interesting... Specs look believable, not sure what to make of the video though... How did you stumble on this?

Looks like a Simsung rather then a Samsung

That's really disappointing if that is indeed the final design. Hopefully that is the SGS 2 Plus and not the SGS3.

Yep, this just looks like a very plain design. I was expecting something more creative from Samsung..

Yeah I call bs

Looks a lot like: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9300_leaked_info_suggests_a_midmay_launch-news-4027.php
GSMArena seems to suggest that this is indeed the Galaxy M, which could be seen as the successor to the Galaxy S II, but is in fact a midrange device. This could leave the top spot open for a true successor later this year.

LOL what hmmm disappointing design .........

I wish this was fake. But if you look at a few of the leaked pictures from the last few weeks and watch that video this looks pretty genuine. Let's just hope this wasn't the final chosen design ....

If that isn't the real sgs3 I'm betting that it will be extremely similar. Especially in design and form factor. Anybody that thinks it will have a radical new design and styling has rocks in their head. Samsung won't stray too far from the sgs 1 & 2 design style which has been so successful for them. This is also the reason they won't part with touchwiz. . Too much change risks alienating existing customers and may prevent them from upgrading. One of the reasons I got the gs2 is because of the simple minimalist design, I would be very disappointed if the final form factor of the gs3 isn't very similar to the gs2. Would seriously consider changing manufacturors.

The report from CNET seems to support that this is indeed the SGS3 we're looking at.

That is the S3 i believe.

If not this one, it will be pretty close to that...i was hoping to a new design U.U

Oh no...it is ugly.. Hope it is fake..please samsung say this is not s3...

If they want to fight wtit ONE (X/S) series this one will loose, thats why i think its not the SGS3, it may be some other "Galaxy" that we dont know of yet. Remember that Samsung copyrighted 6 phone names in the past month
This is for sure not the SGS3

really hope it's not the S3, if so I'm gonna give it a miss and wait for the next Nexus phone

The galaxy nexus is more sexy than this >…<

Doubt the SGS3 will loose to the One X, considering it's the official phone of the London Olympics.
Please Samsung, why did you have to show off a sexy looking device at CES and then give us this(I know it was faked, but the design is still beautiful)?
What could have been the sexiest phone ever:

The phone is decent. Ignore the nitpickers

AW: Enuf *****in
Definitely, yes.
Out of all "new" devices I have bought, this so far has given me the biggest "wow". I have never experienced such a leap in performance and awesomeness from one device to another device like with this one. And it's not like I jumped 2010 to 2013; most recently I went Galaxy Note to Xperia T to Xperia Z.
It's not perfect, it's got it's faults. But it's whining on a very high level.
Edit: crappy thread title btw, should be named "Xperia Z appreciation thread"

People will always whine about the latest phone. Next will be the HTC flagship then the Samsung galaxy flagship then the 2H Sony flagship and so on.
There will never be a perfect phone, like computers, always issues and society wanting more.
Dont worry its normal
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2

Get used to it. That's how things are now on XDA.
Wait for S4 - then people will trash HTC One. And after few months, they'll trash S4 and praise another device... Seriously, if we have people calling S4 Pro chips "outdated" now - it's clearly quite absurd...

What a useful thread!

"Decent" ist not enough for a flagship-smartphone, braw.
(Only not-loving it for the display's viewing angles, rest is cool)
You gotta unterstand the people want to express their disappointment when they spent lots of dollars.

Your right, but Funny thing is most people were expressing their disappointment before phone even released so they didn't even spend lots of dollars at the time or could have cancelled their order.

Perfect argument.
But if we talk about people who actually own S3 devices and are very happy about it - this argument becomes invalid instantly... i mean people who criticize plastic screen protector, but are fine with whole flimsy plastic body - that's just ridiculous.

Lol we now have a threat where people are *****ing about people *****ing. I miss sometimes the old xda. Hope it comes back when people are able to buy the one and the s4

Seconded. Crap thread.

With new technology introduce almost every 3months.There can never be a "perfect phone". Even telcos are finding it difficult to catch up( new phone launch almost every month). If the performance of a phone is not upto our expectations, why dun we just buy a better phone if we can afford it instead of whinning over it. Else , lets just be appreciative. My humble personal opinion, XZ is a great phone with flaws( design by human and humans are'nt perfect).I cannot afford to purchase a "greater" phone cause my line will not be able to recontract for another 2 years.Thus am contented with XZ. 2cents.

I don't think that this topic deserves its own thread.
Closed.

S4 just looks cheap compared to the one.

For a while I wasn't sure what phone to get and I feel like the s4 looks awful so I'm for sure going with this sexy beast of awesome hardware and software.

I don't think anyone in their right mind, even the hardcore Samsung fans, would disagree with that assessment. They may not admit it though, but deep down, we all know which phone we feel is most pleasing to look at.

Not to mention the cartoonish and childish look of TW compared to the elegant, premium and matured-looking Sense UI.. S4 do really look cheap not only on the outside, but also inside..

Why yes, yes it does. And so did the SGS3 compared to most of its competitors including the One X. The N2 looks cheap too compared to other devices but look what LG's gone and done with the 5.5" Optimus G Pro. Why do you think that is? Answer: the "cheap" looking phone is a market leader and sells in massive quantities and LG wants a piece of Samsung's pie. LG's taking a "if you can't beat them, join them approach" while HTC's going their own way (again). We'll know which approach wins by mid-year based on sales.

Funny thing I like the LG's design more. It's so sexy and that's the first time I ever said about an LG device not counting the Nexus.

What strange remarks!
The One seems to have awesome build, it definitely feels expensive and looks pretty awesome compared with almost all the competition. Can't argue there. But to post side by side pictures of what could be almost identical phones and say that one is sexy and other not is just silly. We all - I assume - know that the UI can and will be changed by most if not all users that read this forum and another launcher will probably also be installed. That's one of the joys of android.
TouchWiz, Sense does it really matter. I really disliked TouchWiz on my Galaxy S, put that was 3 years ago. TouchWiz on my Note II is crazy smooth and fluid and to be honest never really seen as I use Nova Prime or SSlauncher.
I chose the Note II for the battery, the screen size and the S-Pen. Others choose for other reasons. Lets live and let live.
One last observation. The UI is just a door to the fun stuff on the inside!

awesome and the thing is the headphone jack not cover but yet its waterproof that some next generation stuff sony!!

z1 has open jack, so nothing new. To be honest this is pointless, so they add more ram, bigger battery and a useless camera. What is the point of that if they cant even provide a good working camera for other phones. Each update make the camera worser. Phone companies dont know what else to do, so they bump up the speeds and so on, think its best thing ever.

The new UI, new function such as Time Shift Video 4K and more on 4.4(XZ2) will port to XZ

never knew the z1 had it first i had the xperia z and it had a flap on it so thats news to me

I read at Mobile-review.com preview that Sony finally removed those protective films from front/back. Can anyone confirm this?

Released globally in March.... but I guess globally doesn't include the US. We'll probably get Z2s in like august or something. This sucks though, hoping it comes to the US soon and with tmobile again.
I skipped in the Z1 because it's not that big of an upgrade. What I also like about Z2 is that FINALLY, another company decides to put dual speakers on the front of the phone for audio. Here's hoping the camera is a lot better, preferably in low light conditions.

Z2 looks awesome and promising. SONY is on the right track.

Just a ping pong tool.
5.2.. If i want a big screen i will buy a tablet not a phone. Unfortunately z1 compact is like a cheap china phone without black glass cover.
