OK so apologies if this thread exists, I did do a search but it wasn't so successful.
Has anyone gone from the Desire Z to the GNote? Just looking for some details of your impression, specifically on audio quality comparisons.
Thanks in advance

I went from Desire S to galaxy note, and have to say this is one of the best phones out there on market... You won't regret it if you choose it...

I'm coming from a Desire Z, and still own it so I can directly compare.
I can not go back to anything smaller screen wise.
The note has MUCH better audio quality for phone calls, I hear other people much better, like they are there with me.
I was shocked about the Desire Z audio quality when I switched to it from a HTC Hero. The Hero sounded much better...
My Note reminds me of the Blackberry Bold 9780 for audio clarity in phone calls, which is to say it is perfect.
For music I have no idea, since I don't use my phones for that, but I know the Desire Z had a very clean output from the reviewers that tested it, and the Note having the same Yamaha crap that the S2, maybe it is less good that the Desire Z.
So the Note has much better sound for phone calls, but surely worst quality for music. By which mesure I don't know...
Otherwise, it is just not comparable. It's another world entirely.
Screen. Speed. Power. Saves my eyes. Feels lighter in my hand. Takes awesome pictures and video... etc.
Go ahead and get it. !!!

I also came from desire z.... It was a great fone but i wasnt as excited when i got the note compare to when i got the desire z about a year ago. I gave it to my wife who uses blackberry. All she does with the desire z is to play angry birds and surf a bit through wifi. I wont be going back to any smaller touch screen fone now that i have this huge and beautiful note.

Are they available or even announced? No. So this comparison right now is valid.
When S4 and M7 get announced then videos like that will be useless.
Yap, for now that is only top high end to compare with.
But hell yea, i wait for htc m7 and s4 to compare it via xperia z.
lol..One X was just a special appearance there and its supposed to have the best 720p screen out there! Yet the reviewer never compares its screen..fail!
hmmmm not so good about the screen - little worried now.
Nah, i bet screen is awesome.

Test video
test video Sony z/ Nexus4/ Note 2
My opinion is that nexus 4 captures details.

RE: HTC One - I think pulling in extra light can sometimes be 'too much' making things bright rather than detailed.

I really posted it for people to compare the two heavy weight cameras, S4 and Z. The fact that the camera on the One is crap is old news.
I'd like the conversation to focus on S4 vs Z.
Htc one couldn't compete so let's leave it to one side.
Personally I think the Z won it because the S4 looked a bit over exposed in some scenes while the Z maintained the best image quality throughout. If Samsung release an update to fix the over exposure, I'd put both cameras neck and neck.

Both the Z and S4 use the Exmor RS so yeh, it comes down to software tweaks.

Well on that note. The Z looks more natural. S4 looks good but I prefer to see it as my eyes intended. Just my opinion.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Hard to tell which is the most natural because I have no freaking clue how it looks in real life.
But HTC one definatly has an awful camera.
S4 & Z looks just about as sharp, but the colour saturations are completely different. I think the Z has the better "real-life quality" Because there's no way it's completely pitch black outside and buildings being that yellow.
HTC one was awefull, throughout the video the colour was way too yellow and laggy. I thought it was very disappointing for a phone which was made out to have a revolutionary camera.
On the other hand, The xperia z seemed to have a purple tint which made it look weird in some cases (didn't the iPhone 5 have that issue?). But overall the colour was a lot better and more true to real life colours than HTC.
The S4 was amazing, it had no awefull colour tints and footage was smooth and colour was better than the two of them put together.
Anyway, that's my opinion, I prefer the S4's camera Despite me being a Sony fanboy lol

The video of the Arc de Triumphe the s4 made it look a little over bright. Was a daily commute for me when I lived in France. Passed it many times in the twilight hours. Again eyes see what they see. Think it's a matter of preference. But do like the S4. Have 1 in my household also.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
S4 is the winner here,only if it's a true comparison.
It has more details,color reproduction is more accurate.
The Z has less details,and magenta tint.
Did you make this comparison or you found it somewhere?

Found it on YouTube. It's made by a French tech site. I personally found the Z to be the best. I doubt very much that the buildings could have been that yellowy as some have said already.
The Z maintained the best quality throughout.
As for the HTC, don't really want to talk about that. I'd seen enough well before this video to know it's camera is the poorest seen on any flagship for some time.
S4 and Z were close but I think the Zs camera used its brain a bit more. The video was better calculated as far as the settings used.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
The S4 looks like its filtered some how. You notice it more when you see the street lights. The Z captures that halo effect of the light, where as the S4 is completely halo free - definitely filtered.....
The only issue I have with the Z night time video recording is that it has a hard time focusing on objects coming towards you and tends to make the video visibly "jitter" - almost as if it was applying a kind of face tracking to high speed objects..... This of course is the software, as I downloaded a JB Camera app and it massively reduced this issue.
damn that S4 look good but Z isnt that far behind, honestly though, how many of u video record that often? and how many of you take picture a lot? if you do you should get Sony NEX

Can't agree with you. XZ recording has better white balance and natural, almost daylike colours. S4 recording is old news - everything's yellowish like in every night/low light video recording - it's still good, but I prefer the way XZ records it as i honestly don't like those yellow night time recordings.

As i say before S4 is a winner,i am a professional photographer so no one can convince me the opposite.
Look the details and the magenta tint in the XZ's video.

Being a professional photographer doesn't make you right or even more qualified to judge.
I seriously doubt that the buildings looked that yellowy. Let's not get caught in minor details.
The overall image quality was better on the Z in my opinion. You obviously have your opinion but that's all it is.

Agree 100 percent dude. I said in a reply earlier. I know that part of France rather well. And it certainly is not like that using my eyes at night. And I agree being a pro photographer certainly not any grounds to be the guru in my opinion. George Bush was a professional politician and I certainly wouldn't agree with most things he said lol

Well if you've got a misses like mine, you'll struggle to get through the day without taking at least 5 pics. Mostly of her by the way lol.
She's getting the s4 this May so I'll get an opportunity to judge them better.
I've done comparison with iPhone 5 which I'll post eventually when I have the time. The Zs problem is the heavy processing of noise which blurs out the fine details when you start cropping. It doesn't happen always, it all depends on how good a pic you take to begin with. The better it is, the less processing there is. At zero crop however, the Zs image quality is the best I've seen on a phone. The processing does improve the image quality by getting rid of the dreaded noise but fine details are blurred out when cropped. I guess it's a trade off and I doubt most people use cropped pictures anyway.

Very well said. He said we aren't believing our eyes but the yellow buildings on the S4 don't support his theory. I think it's him who doesn't want to believe his eyes. Instead, he's picking up on minor details to justify his position.
Oh well! Each to his own I suppose

So I have officially placed my order for the Xperia Z Ultra and it will be here come Tuesday. With that much screen real estate I just couldn't resist. I know I'm going to miss the BoomSound speakers, but outside of that, I'm ready to see how this thing works out. Anyone else leaning towards getting the Z Ultra?

Silly, maybe. From what I've seen so far, the build quality is sound, the phone is snappy, the screen is responsive. The HTC one Max would have been a decent alternative if it had been water and dust resistant.

I absolutely love Sonys ui, colors and feel. From the One to the other, don't know, you gotta decide lol. But that's a damn good phone, the Sony. Hope it's viewing angles are ok, that's Sonys only flaw. I have the honami, Ultra launcher, on my one now. Love it.
