Is Z2 worth extra $$$ over Z1? - Xperia Z1 General

Do you wanna buy the new Sony® Xperia™ Z2?
I don't because the camera is same and i could play any games, even GTA SA at max setting in my Z1!

well .. the screen is better .. more RAM can't be bad .. but i think i'll stick with my Z1 for a while .. at least until the Z3 comes !!

Sony announced that the Z2 will be their flagship for the next 6 months as they prefer 6 month flagship updates
So by september the Z3 should be announced
So if you have a Z1 you should wait for the Z3 and then keep upgrading to the H2 flagship every year and if you have the Original Z then you should upgrade to the Z2 and then wait for the H1 flagship next year

I hate Samsung and never had it, but this time i planned to buy Galaxy S5.
But I will never compare anything to Sony, so i will keep buying Sony mobiles.

Your right! And i don't like to change my cellphone 2-3 times a year!
I bought Xperia Neo V(Used for year [Learned basic Android dev])>Xperia Z (Used for 9-10 months [Learned Anything yet i know and can do])>Xperia Z1(1 month ago-present [Improved alot in Dev])
There's nothing difference between Snapdragon 800 and 801 for me, both can play any game at max setting smoothly and camera is also the same (4K recording that's coming soon to Xperia Z1),
I will change my Z1 when i see a very major change like: QuadHD display, Sensors and..... Snapdragon 810

Few days ago I checked Ion in local store, just to see how it feels in hand and in real world.
Well, despite the fact that it doesn't have replacable battery (which is excluding factor to me), I can say that it feels very nice, high-end-alike quality. It feels much better than S in hand, and I don't know about Acro S.
If you care about housing quality, then go for Ion, as for performance, it's pretty much the same as S, plus you'll get microSD slot.

Hey the xperia arc has for me the greatest design but i prefer to buy the htc one x, galaxy nexus not the 4 because it is not for daily use(big battery consumption :/ ) or the james bond smartphone! xperia arc - 2011 model - no jelly bean update :/

if you're hell bent on getting on of them - get the ION
you should consider getting the Nexus 4...hard to beat at that price point
I would go for a Nexus, just because of the software updates... You'll get every one of them with a Nexus
I've heard that the Xperia S is laggy, Xperia T is not too fast... Wait till MWC 2013, or get a quad core phone. LG 4 hd is relatively cheap, Nexus 4 is the fastest and will get more updates. Other quad core phones are a waste of money unless you are fond of the design.

Leak **** leak xperia z

My sources tell me that the Usa version of Xperia z will carry the new snapdragon 600 series !! That's why it didn't come out Jan or Feb and there releasing it Q2 and it makes total sense cause if it didnt have the new and improved 600 series snapdragon they should of released it q1 to not have any losses during all of quarter one but it makes sense why there there waiting for Q2.. whoopie .... Thanks Sony for using the new 600 series on the Usa version of Xperia z I'm glad I didn't try and buy a different phone now in quarter 1when I had an upgrade available ..
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
why would only the US version of the Xperia Z get the new chipset?
your souces sound false.

That would be rather odd, if that was the case.. I'd like to see that, before I believe it. Would be the poorest marketing move of Sony yet..
Sent from my SGPT12 using xda app-developers app
Delaying launch will only hamper sales as new competition will be out then... surely Sony never want that
Where is Spectre51.. he has a good insider to I believe
Yeah it's likely less than 1% true if you ask me. Although I would have believed it if it were samsung or htc but sony? Nah! Not gonna happen even if it would be the end of the world
No info on the different CPU part of the original topic. Highly doubtful.
Sent from my Sony Xperia™ Z
While I don't necessarily believe this so called "leak" I do believe that if we're to wait until Q2 for this phone, it should be updated with the latest chipset. Consumers don't want to feel like they are buying a new device with "old" tech inside, even if the performance is still great and it is not that old. I WANT Sony to sell their ZL here in Canada with the new 600 series, considering the new chips are available.

Exactly if they wanted to make sales and have ZERO losses at all period it would of released already globally but it didnt cause they want to make sure the usa version has the new An improved 600 series that's why its not out yet also hasn't given out any details regarding it there waiting FOR 21 to announce everything ...at that big show and they will use the new 600 series as the marketING scheme to get people to buy it.. I mean lets be total seriously here if its not gone have 600 series it would be released already GLOBALLY !!!!! It would have been the smartest choice to realease the best phone in Q1 before other great phones come OUT they would have had an entire quarter all to themselves for people to buy there phone but they can't so there waiting til Q2 when they have enough supplies of the 600 series to realease the phone with.

Well then, sounds like one of the carriers might be picking one of the devices up after all (of course, after applying the usual branding). Good for Sony, didn't expect AT&T to pick up any Xperia's this period.
Might be something else but I can't really think of anything. Sony doesn't like making a lot of hardware adjustments (especially not internals) so that pretty much rules out a Snapdragon 600 for H1.

Sony to release two more Flagship phones this year

Hi guys just came across an array of rumors that point to Xperia Z being superseded as early as July this year.
Just want to know what your thoughts are. As a Xperia Z owner I feel robbed and disapointed that Sony would do such a thing and didn't any one learn from the mistakes of the HTC One X+ vs HTC One X+

Its very much like xperia s to xperia T evolution which happened last year... Xz will get next android update soon ...i.e. 4.2.2 but beyond that i.e. 4.3 jelly bean... it will get at last... Just like XS is getting jelly bean at last...

The only thing that stops me to upgrade is camera issue wehen unlock bootloader

At the moment there are pretty much no ROMs available anyways. You can still root the phone. I am sure that Sony will provide a bootloader unlocking solution that doesn't break the camera soon.

SONY XPERIA Z IS GETTING THE Android 5.0 Lollipop

"We’re bringing Android 5.0; Lollipop to the entire Xperia Z Series " SAID SONY today !!!
"You’ve probably seen Google unveil Android version 5.0; Lollipop…
Since the initial reveal of the Android “L” Developer Preview, we’ve seen lots of questions on our upgrade roadmap about our plans – so, here goes…
We’ll be making Sony Mobile’s Android “L” upgrade available for the entire premium Z series*: including Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1S, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3v, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. Sony Z Ultra Google Play edition devices will be first up – we’ll be back with more details on that soon.
We’ll start the upgrade at beginning of 2015 for the core Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series – continuing thereafter for all remaining devices above.
We’ve been working hard to bring this major update to as many of our Z Series devices as we can, as quickly as we can. We’re really excited about the new Sony features & functionality and the improvements we’ve made to the user experience – and we’ll be sharing more soon… so stay tuned to the blog and @SonyMobileNews for all the latest and greatest.
*Software rollouts are a phased process – timings & availability will vary by market/operator. Most models supported but some operator/market exceptions will apply"
i love you Sony ! they really supported this device fair enough ) #respect for them

4.4.4 released the 19th of June. We got it the beginning of September, well ahead of many other OEM's devices. Less than 3 months to bring up, produce, test, certify and release. Great going by Sony.
They could promise to support this device for the next 5 years and some people would still be negative.

Beginning could be the first 3 months of next year and then you have to wait 2 or 3 months more , just like with 4.4.4.
So probably in half a year you will have Lollipop 5..0.
Anytime sooner will be better, leys just be happy we got 4.4.4 at all and that now the 5.0 is comming.

How about UI?
Its really a great news indeed. Thankful to Sony for their continuous support to Z especially.
Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop is completely a new UI, well known as Material design. Sony and other OEMs will build their own Stock ROM and interface. Now my question is, which may be too early to ask but yet a thought came in.. Will they retain L's material design? or they going to continue with their UI.
Well time can answer, will wait and see!
