Nice, when you get it can you post to say if it comes with Ear Phones or not?
I've noticed the Three page has gone up but all the details are about the Z2 and there are no tarrifs yet. Can't post the URL because I am a new user but browse to the Z2 page and replace Z2 with Z3. eg.
Discover/Devices/Sony/Xperia_Z3
I wanted the white Z3 but o2 don't have it listed, just black and mint silver...I had the white Z and black Z1 and I was happy to go back to white now Sony have made all of it white, but now I'm stumped what to go for. Black is a safety colour however I'm intrigued about the mint silver which is exclusive for o2...think I'll go to the shop tomorrow and see it and then do my refresh upgrade from my HTC m8, it will cost me £360 to upgrade now but can trade the m8 in for £220 so not bad really....It's well worth being on this refresh plan!
White was exclusive for phones 4 u but they folded, the white is now exclusive to carphone warehouse

I see, that's a pain as I can only upgrade direct with o2 on their refresh plan...I'll have to decide between black and mint silver.
Just been and got mine from o2, they only had 2 blacks left so I went for the safety option.
Got mint silver myself, luckily they had more than one as the first had a really bad light bleed patch in the middle of the screen
Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk
Just had to exchange mine as the camera wouldn't focus, close up was fine but everything else came out as a blur!
Luckily a store by me was still open, they could've exchanged it for the mint silver but I wasn't too keen on it.
got my Z3 yesterday, but there are two dead pixels gonna return it for a replacement tomorrow, wont stop me buying Sony again though. Least it doesn't bend.

Hi,
Yes, it comes with the push in ear bud type of phones/hands free (I don't like those sort myself, but...). Also included is an OTG lead, charger wall plug with separate USB lead, and a screen protector (matt finish) for the front.
This is a UK, unlocked handset only phone.
No dead pixels on my one, and no issues with the focus on the camera.

Thanks, went and got mine today from Three. I love that it came with a USB OTG cable, it's something I never knew I needed on the iPhone but it's awesome!
I got rid of the screen protector as they are usually rubbish - it's just a shame it didn't come with the noise cancelling earbuds.

Yeah, I've not really used the OTG lead very often on previous phones - occasionally for transferring data, and I've used it to listen to music on wireless headphones. And just to try it out, I've put my wireless mouse dongle and keyboard in it and that works too. This was all on my S4, yet to test it out on the Z3 but I assume it's the same.
I have put the screen protector on my Z3, but it's a matt finish and is collecting fingerprints. I much prefer it without one on. I'm just gauging confidence in the durability of the screen with regards to scratches before I run without one on at all. My past phones have had Gorilla Glass on them and I've not used protection and they have been scratch free.

I truly would like to know this as well. Thru out the years, I have had phone with gorilla glass and have had no screen protectors ever and have had no scratches ever! Now, I am carful as hell with my phones but my z2 I did the same as I usually do and I did get scratches. Front and back. My only guess is, this was because of the dragontail glass which is not as strong as gorilla glass when it comes to scratches. I do hope that sony went with gorilla glass this time. Anyone know for sure?

Hi All.
Thanks for a great forum!
I was fortunate enough to recieve my Pearl White SGS3 in the beginning of the month, I know others here in Denmark are still waiting...
I love this mobile, and have tuned it quite a bit already - root, cwm, new kernel to improve battery times, etc.... really one of the best Android devices I've ever had...
I further have ordered the OtterBox defender case for my SGS3, but won't get it untill next week I'm told...
Anyway, to get to the point of the topic:
I have thus (in the meanwhile) been using a cheap cover (China make I think) - leather like outside and with a nylon type 'pull-out' strap (see pictures)
After using this cover for about 2 1/2 weeks (from the first day I got the mobile) I noticed a discoloring of the back cover. Front is fine - no problem...
Backcover really looks bad now, I'm sure I will get a replacement, but I was just wanting to share my experience, and warn that there may be a serious fault in the way the back cover is 'painted'/produced - all the more reason I now see why the SGS3 blue version may have been delayed - due to similar issue with the blue backcover. Maybe the blue backcover is fixed, not to cause any problems...
So a word of advice - make sure you invest in a good case - if you want to try to avoid having to replace the original white SGS3 backcover, and then again, just be aware of a possible 'wear-and-tear' problem.
Also, I'm just wondering if others have experienced similar discoloration/tainting issues.
Still waiting for my OtterBox to arrive, I actually went out and purchased a screen protector and silicone case, in black - just as the OtterBox I have ordered...
I think the pearl white SGS3 and a black cover will look great!

It's just brilliant
Tell us more.

OK, Tell me what you want to know and I'll tell you.
I guess that most of the people are interested in screen quality
I have to tell you that I was terrified, when I first turned in on. It looked like the one that I saw i Sony Center. Totaly washed out colors. No blacks etc. Than I changed wallpaper to a picure with lots of black, and Tada!! Beautiful black and contrast!!!!! Sony just changed colors of the whole UI, so there is no black, only gray . Apps and wallpapers look great!
were there any memory card (micro sd ) inside the phone ??? 2,4,8,16,32??

Yes, I have seen it myself in real life and can confirm this. The screen looks much better then people expect. Plus that everybody now has their "expectations" set to low, they will be even more impressed. I mean come on, would you really think Sony would put a TERRIBLE display in their flagship? They want to capture the market, you are not going to do that with a terrible screen.
The screen is SHARP, BIG, BEAUTIFUL. Indeed, Sony has chosen a lot of gray instead of black (bottom nav bar + status bar + background in settings). That's not a washed out screen, that's just the colour Sony chose. I can understand people are confused by this, I was as well. But when I saw the screen in real life, I saw that's it's a good screen. Yes, the viewing angles are not as good as the S-LCD3/HD AMOLED screens, but it's not THAT bad as some pictures made you think.
I think that the XZ offers so much that those "not perfect" viewing angles can go to hell

+1 xda Mark. I saw the device at CES and didn't believe the guy when he said it was TN. Best looking TN I've ever seen. Looked at some photos online both on my buddys s3 and the Z, and the difference was NOT what you see in pictures.
Before anyone leaves this device because of the screen, take a look IRL first.

I think that the pre applied ones shouldn't be removed, and are quite thick and difficult to remove. So if the screen protectors in the box have normal thickness my guess is that it is to protect the screen protector from getting scratched. A scratch protector for a scatter protector

The phone comes with anti shatter film its not a screen protector and you are advised to put a standard screen protector on top of this pre applied film.

I have a screen review coming up any minute now on youtube. To my suprise it seems that I have a yellow hue on Xperia Z1 and it looks inferior to my Xperia Z
I am gonna head to the Sony Center tommorow to see if I can replace the device. I am in the process of uploading the video right now.
The contents of the box seems to differ between regions, for example, in Sweden and France the DK31 magnetic charger is included in the packaging, and also included in French boxes (and not the Swedish ones) is the MH750 wired headset. Just google "xperia z1 site:shop.sonymobile.com" and look at the contents in different regions.
For example, in boxes destined for the UK the contents are:
EP880 Charger
EC801 Media Cable
MH750 Wired headset
ET970 Screen Protector
...presumably there is also an Xperia Z1 in there as well.

The glass on the front has a shatter proofing protector on which has the Sony logo imprinted on it. Apparently it gets scratched up easily so I would advice applying another screen protector on. The shatter proofing protector can be removed but I have heard stories that it may void your warranty (a guy in Sony Center Poland said it doesn't and that you can easily remove it).
When it comes to the back of the phone from what I have managed to find out, it is also covered in some antiglare layer. So it is the bit that is gonna get scratched up first.
Other than that it is all tempered glass so once you get to the glass it shouldn't scratch

My sentiments exactly. I usually hate black devices and tend to opt for white ones. But the white note 3 just looked tacky to me. As does the red. Also, I'm pretty sure the black has a different 'sticky' feel that the lighter colors can't have because they'll stain.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I wonder if they have the brushed-metal texture (like the black N3) or the cross-hatch pattern (like the white and pink N3s). Neither is discernible in the photo. To me, that's a bigger aesthetic consideration than the color itself.
Att: " hahaha these new colors will make them forget all about that bootloader"
I bought the white for the cross hatch pattern. I had the same black look for my Note 2. Got tired of it.
I like the black back tho. That's what's on my phone now

Who cares about colors. If you invest 700 USD on a phone you would be stupid not to put it in an ottorbox or similar case. In which case you would never see the colors anyways. All you should care about is the screen quality and function. It could be titty pink but as long as it is in a case nobody but you knows and so you should not care. I know I for one would not take my chance with this phone and just carry it in my pocket. Mine is in an ottorbox defender, it has had the plastic screen protector removed but in it's place is an armour brand matte protector.

Please learn to express your opinions without resorting to name-calling.
What's worse is that you're wrong. Those of us who don't buy expensive cases aren't stupid, we're right.
Many of us drop or bang our phones so seldom that we break them less than once every ten or twenty years. That means that if we buy an expensive case for each new phone, we end up paying MORE in the long run than we pay if we simply replace our unprotected phones on the rare occasions when they break. And that's in addition to the undesirable bulk (and yes, undesirable aesthetics) of a case.
All you should care about is the screen quality and function.

How about no? Those of us who really care get a phone for everything it offers. Bodyguardz screen protector, S View cover, insurance. I maintain the slim profile, add even more features to an already loaded phone, and I have a way to replace my phone for $300 total...

yea same thing happened with me, i bought it at night for 59 bd down payment, and the next morning they announce free without any downpayment
guys dont get too excited about the TPU cover, you can get the awesome awesome Baesus air case TPU for only 7$ on aliexpress
now allow me to explain why do we get the TPU cover included:
its because unlike the primary world we are being screwed with 16GB internal rather than 32GB, this is why the cover is compensation
the cover itself is not that great as it kills the device beauty and also might cause scratches because of all the specs that can get stuck inside, plus affects touch-ability due to the thick edges and the port flip at the bottom is simply a joke
the only good thing about it is that it insures you protection from day one that's it, make sure to clean it well every time you place the phone inside it as it can ruin your grey M8 in time if any sand particle gets stuck inside
best official cover so far for the M8 is the standard flip case from HTC
Also, ours is 2.3GHz...as compared with 2.5 elsewhere...

just a tip for whoever new with this device protect your rear and front cameras and dont use the case you get with the phone as @hamdir said it will cause scratches on the silver surrounding...
oh yes and I'm from Oman but my phone is from Comtel (U.A.E).

2.5ghz is just bull**** so no worries, stop running behind cpu clocks people its not what makes these phones great (gpu, bandwidth, thermals, nand all more important)
Why else does the battery lasts this long and still run so well with the power saver 1.3ghz cap
Apple didn't even cross 1.5ghz
Stop chasing ghost cpu clocks, they only accelerate throttling
I agree with Hamdir,
Clock speed is irrelevant. I am coming from a Nexus 5 and I don't honestly see a "significant" speed boost, granted the Nexus 5 is highly optimized by google. Still the bottom line is if while operating the phone you don't experience any lags (in the M8's case thats far from it) then speed is irrelevant. I am pretty sure you could possibly even under clock and not notice a huge drop in performance.
Cheers.
Actually power saver mode locks the CPU at 1190mhz. Phone still smooth yes it might lag abit in some apps like Twitter but it's very usable with great battery. The phone is perfect! The only thing that annoys me are the cameras not the quality but the lenses! They get scratched pretty easily and I didnt know that when I was always cleaning the lens using shirts.

At last.... a thread for us, ME users.
My free silicone case which came with the device is already damaged. Bought a HTC transparent hard cover with screen protector from Sharaf DG. Only worry is that it's not fully covering top and bottom. Let me see how it goes....

I was lucky, a friend ordered the Spigen Slim Armor and didn't want it. I've been using that since day one. Sadly its a bit bulky. I've ordered this hopefully will get it tomorrow. As for the screen protector xtremeguard was having a 90% off deal so bought the full body protection.
Cheers.
I got my Dot View frim Jumbo... It looks amazing and attractive.. Plus Viper is gonna release Dot View notifications in their upcoming update

You can use this to remove it. The tampered unlock bit at least. That's what I did.
