its' 3G mate try checking the official links given in OP.
No use of 4G handset in India. In India 4G users are 0.1% so no point of such handsets. ( Companies don't launch handsets for the reason one need to travel to a 4G available country once )
Airtel 4G is launched in Bangalore. It's even cheaper than 3G.
For 12GB 3G : 1555Rs.
For 10GB 4G : 1000Rs.
Only iPhone 5s and 5c and another ****phone from Airtel supports 4G.
Hope XZ2 supports 4G.

Yes man it has the LTE/4G function but it depends on your carrier too.If u have 4g carrier them u can use LTE/4G
4G support
Can someone post a screenshot of the "Network Mode" screen of an Indian Z1 compact? Now that 1800Mhz LTE will be coming to India soon, it will be good to know if the Indian model actually "supports" 4G.
Could everyone please post the price and the place they bought it from, like grey market or authorized?
Thanks.
Got mine through ebay using flat 10% coupon. Ended up paying just 30k.
Bargain at this price to be honest. Had no plans to buy this. But saw the offer and jumped in. My first Xperia since X10 and Ray.
Not a fan of Sony bloat to be honest. I am not going to use any of those services, but then by now we are used to bloat from all mainstream manufacturers. So far so good.
Sony is giving away case and accidental damage insurance free with this phone. So make sure you get yours when you make the purchase.
Mine is 4g/lte. Model no. D5503. Got it 2 days back.

It is same for everyone. That model supports LTE but not the bands that work for India. It does not support LTE Band 40 2300Mhz which will be used by our carriers.
That is why Sony is not advertising it as LTE phone in India.
Can anyone let us know what the box contains, any unboxing videos from Indian users?
Box has phone, charger, stereo headset, Usb cable, instruction/information booklets, warranty card . Free flip case from Sony as promotional offer. But it is separate package.
From my Xperia Z1 Compact, in your face!

As per the changelog provided by Sony it is clear that there is No 4K cam app, No TimeShift Video app, No Smart Call Handling app, No Smart Backlight Control, No Glove Mode, No Tap to Wake up feature. - IT was all pre known so not at all disappointed, Why they should give these features to Z1 so soon, it's not longer a flagship.

According to Xperia Blog Sony C650X ‘Odin’ model number uncovered [2013 flagship] and C660X YUGA are appearing in benchmarks
Sony Mobile is revamping its model numbers from 2013 onwards. Gone is the ST/MT/LT code structure to denote small, medium and large touchscreen handsets. Instead what we now have is a new five character model number that will be the new standard going forward.
The User-Agent Profile (UAProf) for Sony Mobile’s 2013 flagship, codenamed ‘Odin’, has been discovered (see an extract below). From the brief information, we can tell that there are three new Sony Mobile model numbers: C6502, C6503 and C6506. We understand that these are all one handset – the different last character in each model number denotes the region/carrier to be released. The UAProf shows that this 2013 flagship is running Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean with 10.1.A.0.XXX firmware. Excited? Let the 2013 Xperia rumours begin.
UAProf for Sony C650X ‘Odin’

New Sony C670X details leak: 4.8-inch FHD display, 1.8GHz Snapdragon 600 [Update]
We have received word of a new Sony Xperia C670X handset that is due to launch this summer. The information comes from a tipster who recently provided us with the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean screenshot for the Xperia Z. Obviously, as with any rumour, treat all of the following with a pinch of salt.
In terms of specifications, the Sony C670X is expected to come with a slightly smaller display than the Xperia Z (C660X) at 4.8-inches but will still have a full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920. The C670X will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 (APQ8064T) chipset with 1.8GHz quad-core processor and Adreno 320 graphics. Other features include 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage and a 13MP Exmor RS camera. We are told the phone is due to launch in the middle of 2013 with Android 4.2.
Along with all of this spec information, we were sent a render of the Sony C670X. We cannot tell from the picture if the C670X has a heavy glass influence like the Xperia Z or uses aluminium. Judging from the render, the ear speaker is similar in style to the Z/ZL. It looks like the top of the phone includes a front-facing camera , notification light, light sensor and proximity sensor.
Given that the expected release is still a number of months away, the design may end up changing prior to launch. This is perhaps why there are no app icons in the display area, the render only shows the latest Xperia wallpaper. Anyway, that’s all we have for now. As mentioned before, treat all of this firmly as a rumour.
Update: The image sent over is the same as used in the set up guide for the Xperia Z, despite it clearly not being a picture of the Xperia Z. So either this Sony render is a generic placeholder image used when setting up a new 2013 Sony Xperia handset or it is indeed an image of an upcoming handset that Sony has inadvertently used in the Xperia Z.

What's the fuss about 4.2 it hasn't gone official yet and people are demanding for it, 5in? too much for a smartphone.. OLED display? too much saturated plus BE2 very saturated. I think the more plausible approach is the new Exmor RS sensor and remove the overcompression issue, "C" reminds me of the cybershot and Sony please make it good this time, make it reach the market also ASAP, latest 2012 line have been announced but very few customers are getting it and losing interest.
I think this phone should have a slim design,
good GPU Adreno 320/latest POWERVR
at least 2100 mah
opticontrast display on V or even X-reality engine on their TV's (rather impossible but maybe..)
Camera that's on par or even better than what's on iphone 5 (Not an apple fanboy but we cannot deny how Apple uses Sony's image sensors to the fullest)
Latest OS out of the box that is optimized for the hardware and wont get crappy when updated to another version (2010,2011 and 2012 lines when updated to latest OS Versions sucked big time; JB out of the box more realistic since very few devices are running JB, wont get crappy if updated to rumored Key Lime Pie)
The Sony C660X "Yuga" has just appeared in benchmarks.

Awesome, seems to have a quad-core S4
im going to buy the v when it comes , no more waiting , they release devices so late that their new device sounds better then the one released... im going to be stuck with my ray forever!!

Benchmark confirms 1080p display for Sony C660X ‘Yuga’
We are slowly piecing together a jigsaw of some awesome hardware for Sony Mobile’s 2013 flagship device(s). What we know so far is that there will be two sibling flagships – the Sony C650X ‘Odin’ (C6502, C6503, C6506) and Sony C660X ‘Yuga’ (C6603). They will be armed with a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset (APQ8064 & Adreno 320 graphics) and MDM9615 baseband chip with LTE support. These phones are currently being tested with Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and 10.1.A.0.XXX firmware.
Now we can confirm that the Sony C660X ‘Yuga’ will have a 1080p (1920 x 1080) display following an appearance in the NenaMark2 benchmark. The benchmark actually points to a resolution of 1794 x 1080, but 126 pixels are likely being used for the on-screen buttons introduced in Android Ice Cream Sandwich. The entry has already been removed from the NenaMark website, but still appears in Google Cache results.
Screen size still remains a mystery for now, but we can make some educated guesses. It is very unlikely to be sub 5-inches given the 1080p display resolution. We know that LG and Sharp have announced their own 5-inch 1080p displays. However, the biggest hint comes from a recent announcement from Japan Display Inc (JDI). For those that don’t know, JDI is a new company for small and medium-sized displays formed in April 2012 through the integration of Sony Mobile Display, Toshiba Mobile Display and Hitachi Displays. It recently announced that it has started to mass produce a 5.0-inch TFT-LCD IPS display module with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution and 443 PPI.
We do wonder if a smartphone display with pixel density over 400 PPI is a bit overkill though and whether we’d even be able to tell the difference from a 300 PPI device. We’re also not sure what kind of demands this would have on battery life, but it sounds superb nonetheless and all evidence suggests it will come to the next Sony Xperia flagship.
Via Rbmen.
Thanks @musumappa!
I love this performance!
According to Xperia Blog: First Sony C6603 ‘Yuga’ sample picture appears
The first sample picture from the Sony C6603, codenamed Yuga, has appeared on Picasa. The picture itself isn’t revealing as it appears to be of a Chinese poster. The EXIF information doesn’t reveal anything we don’t know either – the compressed image hides what sensor this phone will have. However, we understand it will be running a 13MP Exmor RS CMOS sensor. This particular model is running 10.1.A.0.270 firmware (Android 4.1.1). Both Yuga (C660X) and Odin (C650X) are expected to be the Sony Mobile 2013 flagship models. We’ll bring you more information as we have it.*

Who knows if that's the final design. If it is I my opinion it doesn't look that great compared to the nxt series and the arc. Flat back is nice but the sides doesn't look that great especially with the silver power button. Looks weird doesn't blend in like the tx.
I guess I'll be waiting for the Xperia x, q4 of 2013~

There's also Odin which hasn't been leaked yet but it might look similar.
Personally I agree that it looks not as good as the arcs or NXT phones but it still looks good. But a glass back concerns me. I'm fairly careful with my phone but one drop with Yuga and its game over.

And plus its 5 inch. I can't handle it with a single hand.
and also since it's a glass back I doubt this phone would have a removable battery. ><

[ UPDATE - 18 Feb ] New Press Renders of Xperia Z2 Tablet and Pics have been leaked.
New Xperia Z2 Tablet press render pics and specifications have been leaked by @GadgetLeaks, stating Xperia Z2 Tablet weighs 426 grams for Wi-Fi version and 439 grams for LTE model. Exact dimension of Xperia Z2 Tablet is 266 x 172 x 6.4 mm.

It is the same price, if not lower, than their direct counterparts from other companies. The iPad was costing $100 more at the time of the release.
Also, more supposed specs:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ia-tablet-z2-press-renders-leak-onto-twitter/
WiFi: 426g, LTE: 439g. Both lighter than the iPad Air
Dimensions: 266 x 172 x 6.4mm (Except for thickness, which is less than the actual model), has the same exact dimensions as our model.
Considering they follow the Z1 design (Magnetic charger, Aluminium borders), it's impressive that they did all of that, but with the same battery size.
so... because the overpriced ipad was overpriced, that means it was perfectly acceptable for sony to overprice theirs? lol
I wonder why sony just sold off their computer business? and soon their tv business as well? maybe b/c they overpriced their products and hardly anyone bought them?
I've got a tablet z and it's the best one I've owned, I just hope the z2 brings a good kitkat rom as everything for the Z after the original 4.1.2 has been ****e!
Let's face it anything without Apple has to be f=good anyway, I'd pay a premium just to avoid it.
I don't think 500 bucks for a premium device is too much. Sometimes, and with some companies, they are too overpriced, but you pay for what you get.
The iPhone, for example, is a bit overpriced, but it is what you get: A premium device.

Sony D6503 Aka Sirius and Xperia Z2 Tablet currently both are running 17.1.A.0.XXX KitKat firmware and same features will come on Z2 Tablet hopefully which we saw in D6503 firmware leak
I wouldn't be too happy with the headphone port on the bottom edge.
I was hoping for better screen resolution.
It looks cool but i might skip it as i just bought the tablet z 3 months ago and the Z2 doesn't seem to be THAT much of an impovement
But i do hope we get kit kat with all the features on the tablet Z

Nop. It was first launched in mobile devices with Z Ultra. We "just" have a IPS screen, which was probably the best Xperia screen Sony has ever made.

IPS is a LCD type. Triluminos is a LCD modification. Something to do with quantum dots and white backlight replaced by a blue one. It adds more colors to the range that LCD generally supports.
IPS and Triluminos can coexist. Such as with the Z1 Compact and Z Ultra, for example.

I like the specs. 1920x1200 is actually my preference. I got a Asus TF701 which has 2592х1944 resolution. I don't see added benefits really. My movies are at most 1080 anyway. The higher resolution drains the battery more and slows the device down. I like the light weight and thinness even at the expense of the battery capacity. I don't mind charging more frequently to exchange for light weight. My TF701 makes me wrist sore. Having Kitkat is an added bonus. Even Sony decided not to do any Android upgrade, I'd be happy. Kitkat made my $160 Chinese 8.9" iFive X2 tablet fly as compared to the previous JB 4.2.2 firmware. I totally can be happy enough with Kitkat only.
If it's $500 or less, I'll order it as soon as it comes out.

The added benefits of higher display panels is that they are easier on the eyes Especially if you am into reading books or PDF that's where the extra pixels shine
They have a new one! Dammit! >:|:banghead:
Very disappointed with the screen resolution, needs to be higher for a premium tablet.
Will skip this one
Now we demand the great from Best .Everyone please share what you think about Sony's New Beast!!!!!!!

Wow, people are really fast in creating separate threads for Indian users. I just came here to see if it was created and voila, it's there.
Ok, now back in topic. Hmmm... Looks like a worthy update for me from Z1. Hope it doesn't cross the 50k mark! Price it at 45k and Sony will hit the bulls eye. Also, I'm in US right now and I won't be getting it from T-Mo for sure. So have to rely on Sony store for the unlocked one.
As expected, Z2 users will be pissed off. Chill out, it was expected.

Yeah for sure...being a Z2 owner i kinda feel little bad!!!
But about price lets hope they dont cross 50K because Z2 almost did it and maybe Sony will go beyond this time...competing iPhone 6.
I would want it below 50K..lets hope for the best....:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Well some sources reveal that the price of the phone will be 49999 INR in India if this is true it will be good for Sony as they are not crossing 50K mark as Z2 is still quite new and packs almost all features of Z3.... which is currently selling for 44999 INR.
It would really be good to bind a smart cover SCR24 and NC headset if possible the Smartband Talk and they already screwed the ADP so at least some compensation for that.
I really hope sony does not mess up the release as it did with Z2. I'm talking about faulty phone manufactured which were later refused to be replaced as well.
Hi. Was planning to shift from note 3 to z3 and had some qs for z2 users wrt :
- stability and speed of UI (any random reboots/data loss?)
- is the screen truly shatterproof or is it just a film on the screen
- does the sound 'break' at highest volume on the speaker?
Any other comments welcome
Thx

--z2's UI is quite smooth
--not as strong as gorilla glass 3
--sound is ok not as good as htc one boom sound
my suggestion is its better get z2 rather than z3 bcos z2 price will be lower and performance will be similar to z3 in all important aspects or else this time exynos 5433 A57/A53 cortex based note 4 which will be released in india seems to be really good even with disabled 64bit support
Thx but I need a change from Sammy. Was also considering the one m8, lg3 and xiaomi mi4

Dont bother about Xiaomi its UI is worst to adapt..
Z2 or Z3 bestt choice but if you want boom sound you can go for M8 but due to boring launcher from HTC which is monochrome ..and doesnot stand a chance against SONY's UI and themes...

Yes you are right about Z2 i faced the same issue with my Z2 they removed the ADP policy right after the Z2 was a month old and refused to replace the faulty phone.
Also if they price high due to iPhone stupidity then bad news for SONY
If you had to list out any negatives of the z2 what would they be?
I'm trying to convince myself that the z3 has the best specs that I need (mainly photos, videos, emails and maps) but keep on hearing comments from friends " you're buying a sony phone?"
Boom sound is nice to have but not essential for me.
Also important is battery time - both discharging and charging time. I see that z3 has a hi speed USB 2 port but not USB 3. Wonder how much difference that would make in charging and data transfer.
Looking at the abroad price comparison the device might cost 54999 INR and might be 4G model if its Dual Sim version only then i will discard Sony brand...

Sony center in Mumbai says 25th Sept release.
They had a z2 demo piece with a matte screen guard that just destroys the screen quality - and refuse to take it off. Strange!

Nope. But going by indications looks like around 50k. Initial hands on reviews are very good - check phone arena. Gsmarena has reviewed only the compact so far.

If this is true its worth buying...i mean atleast for me..i am waiting to get this beauty...
I know it's a little early but there's already info leaked on the upcoming Xperia Z4, which will most likely make it's debut in 2 months during CES in January.
So far we know the following:
New rumors:
Perhaps you've already consumed breakfast, and it is too early for lunch. Still, it is time for you to head toward the spice rack and pull out the salt, because we suggest that you take this story with a least a grain of the stuff. A report published on Saturday lists the rumored specs for both the Sony Xperia Z4 Compact and the Sony Xperia Z4 Ultra. You could say that when it comes to Sony's first half smartphone releases for 2015, this will be the long and short of it.
The Sony Xperia Z4 Compact is expected to maintain the tradition of previous Xperia Compact models by offering flagship type specs in a, well, compact package. For the Xperia Z4 Compact, that means a 4.7-inch screen with a 1080 x 1920 resolution. That combination should provide a high pixel density. Under the hood will be the Snapdragon 810 CPU and there will be 3GB of RAM on board. The device will feature 32GB of native storage and will be equipped with stereo speakers. Back and front-facing cameras will weigh in at 20.7MP and 5MP, respectively. The Xperia Z4 Compact will have IP68 certification and come with LTE Cat.9, Bluetooth 4.1 and NFC connectivity. While a precise battery capacity wasn't leaked, the phone should offer wireless charging.
The Sony Xperia Z4 Ultra will be equipped with a 6.44-inch screen, with a resolution of 1440 x 2560. It also will employ the Snapdragon 810 CPU and have 3GB of RAM inside. A 16MP camera adorns the back of the unit, and the phablet is said to resemble an overgrown Sony Xperia Z3. While the Sony Xperia Z Ultra supported the use of a pencil as an input tool, the Xperia Z4 Ultra will come with its own stylus. The battery capacity for the handset needs to be large to support the huge screen, and the talk is that the cell will weigh in between 3500 and 4000mAh. This is quite a bit different than previous rumors of a Xperia Z4 Ultra with a 5.9-inch glass, powered by a Snapdragon 805 chipset.
Due to the shortages of the Snapdragon 810 chipset, both of these models are now expected to be delayed with a possible launch during the second quarter of the year. On the other hand, the Sony Xperia Z4 and Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet are both expected to be introduced on January 5th, just before the start of the 2014 CES show.

You already knew that Sony have been open about their 6 month flagship phone window.
The good news is that they are planning to change this with the Xperia Z4 and just keep it as their only flagship for 2015. (I'm guessing they may do a successor to the Z Ultra halfway through the year like Samsung does with it's Galaxy and Note phones)
That would be interesting, maybe i could sell my z3 and save the. money to buy a z4, but first have to check if z4 is as good as it seems to.
I like the Z3's speaker openings in the glass. Looks like the Z4 is going back to the Z2 look somewhat, hope not though. It couldn't hurt them if they reduced the top and bottom bezels and made it slightly rounder. I'm hoping they make changes for final production. Z4/M9/G4 can't wait for them.
Although difficult to say with any degree of certainty, it appears that the display size will remain at 5.2"... GSM Arena seems to think so also... However the resolution will most likely jump to 2K.
I, for 1, am def content with 5.2" AND 1080p resolution.

The 6 month update schedule is what I love about Sony! Keeps my addiction alive
I won't be getting the Z4 if it moves to a 5.5" display. That's just too big. Z3 is like perfect right now.
I say that now, but if the Z4 camera is godlike.... who knows.

It also makes harder to improve a device, less resources and attention to fixing issues/improvements, since they will be prepping a new model much more quickly.
I'm not banking on a Z4 release until the IMX230 is available, which I thought was March/April 2015 timeframe. The IMX230 is almost enough to make me wait on the Z4 (Z3 en route), but if the phone is substantially larger, I won't have any interest at all.

I really hope that Verizon continues on with Sony. I have the z3v and absolutely love it.

This.
The Z3 with 5.2" is perfect size. Anything bigger is just too big for my pockets, unless they reduce the bezel to compensate. Yeah, the camera will be one of the most important thing I'll be looking for on the Z4, seeing the Z3 is pretty horrible at the moment. I don't care much for the 2K resolution gimmick on these tiny screens--they are useless. 1080p is just fine. Also, I hope the quality assurance on the new Z4 line will improve. The Z3 line is just not acceptable from experience.
Well that is unless they go the LG route and reduce the top and bottom dead space to get a 5.5" screen. Sony however refuses to do that for some reason.
I'd prefer front facing speakers then non-existent top/bottom bezels.
Also, I've been managing to get very nice 20.7 manual pics. If u know how to use this camera & do a little homework, it can be quite impressive. Is there room for improvement in the software however - definitely. So far the Z3 has the least amount of cons vs pros then any other device I've owned or used - & I've certainly had a plethora, hehe.
Sent from my D6616 Xperia Z3
Taking a look at the supposed pictures of the digitizer , the screen size looks identical to the z3, I don't want them to go quad HD and bigger if they keep the huge bezels, if they do get rid of the bezels maybe they will go with a small battery or just keep the same capacity for the battery and we know 3000 mah is not enough for QHD just ask the G3 and the nexus 6 owners
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5
Totally agree Chad, I was going to upgrade to an LG G3, then I saw they battery life and it felt like a downgrade from my LG G2. They put a low contrast power hungry screen just so they could show they have QHD which is practically useless in phones (my opinion).
Maybe battery will go on 3900 or 4000 mA, like the new moto maxx
So far the specs look like a beast, let's just it's affordable.
Out of all the things listed, I personally find myself more impressed that they made the USB port to be waterproof. That's truly a step up to their waterproofing innovation.
Also the Z4 to take in some Z2 designs, it looks like Sony is definitely following the successful non-faulty designs of the Z2/Z3v to keep itself waterproof unlike certain Z3 models.

Nice the call quality is good. I always worry dual sim phones network reception is always not so good.
And network switching I meant can we manually switch to 3g only for a sim in settings bcz dual sim phones don't allow us to switch that way.
It only gives preferred network

im currently using airtel lte (4g) & 4g is activated LTE displayed at signal. but there is no 4g only option. because in India lte does not support voice call thats why signal switched to 3g or 2g automatically whenever there is any incoming or outgoing call is take place.

Yeah Once I switched to 4g only via maintenance mode and was not able to call or use any ussd...callers were like why u switched off ur cell..
Getting 1 tomorrow, wanted the white/silver but its not being sold officially in India, hence had to opt for the Black/Graphite one.
Green is kinda clowny and gold is simply pukey.
go to dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#*
go to phone information
you can change the preferred network type to LTE only
PS: Do note that you wont be getting calls when youre in this mode unless your network operator supports VoLTE.

Got the Graphite Black Z5 on 11/11, switching from 2+ years of Windows Mobile OS (Lumia 720 & Lumia 1020).
Its still sad that they didn't launch the white one in India, its simply magnetic.

Its great. The reception is strong and I really like it. Better than Z2 I can say
I used the phone for couple of days (was friend's) and I really want to buy it but I am not sure if it will get the same speedy updates and Rom support as the standard ibe gets. I tried the phone with single sin for most part and it never dropped a call or slowed down network. The reception was also strong at all times. I tried it with a second sim for a few hours and there was no noticeable difference according to me. I don't want dual sim support and really care about Rom and update support. Should I buy it? Also should I get this or wait for Z6 with SD820 now?
