XPERIA SOLA FOR 199$??!! why so cheap in my country is like 240+$
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda app-developers app

the retail industry is falling behind in the economy because of online shopping so they make it cheaper to attract customers

Beautiful looking Phone, but at 4.3 just a bit too big.

I see that it's working if i were u i would go straight to the place and get 1

It's probably a glitch, but to make you happy I'd say they're probably preparing themselves for the Z1 mini global

There's rumors that Z1s and Z1f will be Z1 with 4.3 screen and a bit "smaller" battery.
F for Asian market - that's confirmed and S for Europe and USA

Xperia Z1s

I came from Xperia S to a Xperia Z1, in two days I got used to the bigger screen and size, Two weeks ago I wasn't sure if Z1 would be the right smartphone for me, now I have no doubt, but Z1s seems to be a great option for people with small hands.

Get your **** together Sony. Stop delaying things so your new flagship which is pretty much identical except a few details sells more.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, that's this particular carrier's schedule not Sony's.

true that, maybe we get it in march :highfive:

My best guess is April. Well I'm pretty happy with JB 4.3 FW .136 tho. So April won't be a big deal to waiting for

That is very cool! But the videos look a little washed out/bright. Had you tinkered with the white balance, or was that with full auto settings?

I increased the exposure a little bit as it was dark in the rink. I could have overexposed it a little bit :-/

That's actually good news, because it means maybe the default setting is fine!
BTW you have cool/talented friends :good:

Oneplus One and Xperia Z1 size controversy

There has been a lot of controversy around a picture that Oneplus revealed showing that the One could fit under a Sony Xperia Z1. Here is the video showing what really happens. To me it was interesting to see and it also helps on my decision of buying the 1+1 since I've hold the Xperia Z1 and now have a better idea on how the dimensions of the 1+1 will feel in my hands. Size was one on my main concerns regarding purchasing a device like this. It is definitely not bad for a 5.5" screen even thought that for a 5" screen device the Xperia is definitely large.
What do you guys think?

it would probably be a little less impressive in person.

I agree with you. It is definitely not a small device. But nonetheless Oneplus did a good job on the design keeping a fairly small bezel for its screen size considering the screen is much larger and also looks like it's very light too.

i agree. mainly because the size of the bezels on the z1 are huge. the z2 is better, but sony phones are bezel-tastic. if they did the same trick with the note 3, youd be unimpressed.

Yeah, from the comparison videos the 1+1 is taller than the Note 3 but the Note is wider as it has bigger 5.7 inches screen.
