Even before Sony name the new honami phone as Z1, I once thought that XZ can be a great predecessor for its future generations if Sony wishes.
I believe that many of you would also hope for the successor of XZ with its weaknesses fixed or improved. So, now the Z1 has come out
and let's list out which things Sony improved and which things that left out but still can be improved.
I also would like you to participate as fun with possible improvements that you've thought before. [Note: possible means not features like
Xenon flash, fingerprint scanner, 10x optical zoom etc.. ok? ]
First, let's see what weaknesses of XZ that is fixed or improved in Z1. I cannot definitely tell that some of the things are fixed but I will
update once I got Z1 and compared with XZ.
Xperia Z's weaknesses
-----------------------------------------
1. poor viewing angle (Hope triluminos fix it. Acceptable so far according to the hands on videos)
2. poor wifi receivement (If Sony make use of Z1's aluminium panel as antenna?)
3. wear and tear flaps (I am interested to find out how they managed to build the Z1's open earphone jack with water resistance)
4. battery life (Improved. XZ's battery life is acceptable for me but 2330 mAh is really not enough for heavy users)
5. Speaker (Improved........)
6. loose back panel near camera (Not sure and most important factor)
7. Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass (Not improved)
8. No dedicated shutter button (fixed)
Z1's successor possible improvements
------------------------------------------
1. Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass to Corning Gorilla Glass 1/2/3 with oleophobic coating ?
Many of us might have been disappointed with such a fingerprint and dust magnet of XZ's screen. Very obvious and noticeable if you come from an iPhone.
Also I am also one of the people who don't prefer Shatter proof film at all because of the reason above.
2. magnetic power connector ? (optional)
Most of XZ owners afraid of their phone's flaps will become loose and eventually let water damage the phone one day because of the commonly used
2 main ports, micro usb port and earphone jack. Now Sony already managed to left the headphone jack open and if they managed to come up even
more with magnetic power connector and let it connect to 2 pogo pins(which was designed only for dock), it will definitely become an invincible beast.
You can argue that we can already charge the phone with dock however, some people don't prefer it because of high ampere and faster discharge of battery.
3. Increase internal memory to 32GB ?
Although we can add 16 up to 64 micro SDs, most people still want to make internal memory as their favourite. For me, its not a must factor as I usually
flash my phones alot and only store my data in microSD card.
4. Increase RAM to 3Gb? ( nah, no need)
5. OIS missing?
As far as I read up in pages, I cannot find anything about OIS in Z1. I guess Sony missed out an important feature.
6. S-Master MX digital amplifier ??
Many Walkman fans hoped desperately for that dedicated audio chip and Sony missed out again. However, I think it is because of constraints in so
many aspects such as design and customers' affordable price range.

this is not a troll question, i genuinely want to know why you regard xenon flash as a not possible improvement? Is xenon flash too hard to implement in mobiles? The nokia people did it right?
Anyway, without the phone in my hands my vote goes to a decent OIS system and to move away from flaps to wireless data transfer and charging. That way, we dont have to worry about those seals letting water in. Oh and for micro sd and the sim card flap, possibly making a tighter seal that can be secured shut with a small and discrete screw. I think the trade off of having a complete seal that you don't have to always check for dust and if its closed all the way is worth having to work a little harder to get to the sd and sim card.
Edit* just saw your #2 suggestion, i like that better than what i said. yeah just do away with the microsd if they can't waterproof it without a flap and hook everything up through that dock connector instead.

I think I would prefer LED if I can't have both LED and Xenon flash on the front. I prefer having an LED flash that could be used as flashlight than using the phone screen for torch.

that's a really good point, i agree 100%.
Things for me that are missing from the Z1 are
*32gb internal
*IR Blaster
*Glove mode like xperia SP
*OIS in the camera
*720p/1080p recording at 60fps ( not fussed about 4k thats just exccessive)
*S Max Walkman AMP
I wouldn't mind better speakers and an IR blaster. Otherwise it looks pretty damn good. Maybe a Xenon flash as well to take better pics at night.

Not a big one for me but less bezel, more screen. Also I'd like wireless charging but the biggest change would be a removable battery.
These are my wish list,
1. S-Master - Audio is very important to me
2. Better Battery life. (at least 10 hours of viewing videos)
3. Better Screen Material. Screen that is a finger print magnet is really annoying. I literally bring an extra cloth on my bag to wipe the screen of my Xperia S.
4. Magnetic Charging Cable out of the box. this would really be awesome.
**OIS seems to have a lot of mixed reviews on the camera, so still waiting if it really needs an OIS or Sony Steadyshot will do.
Is This too Much
Dedicated audio chip(with 120db SNR. Frequency Response (-3dB, 24bit/192KHz input) : 10 Hz to 48 KHz)
600ohm headphone amplifier
stereo speakers with better drives (RMS Power: 500 Watt, Program power: 1000 Watt, Frequency range: 20 Hz - 100 kHz, Nominal Impedence: 4 Ohm, Efficience 2,83V / 1m: 92 dB, Maximum SPL: 118 dB)
superior auto with ability to manually control ISO
OIS
always on mic with dedicated speech recognition processor
dedicated X-reality processor with video upsampling
High contrast display
shatterproof film on inside of the phone exposing the glass
making the screen Oleophobic
Ir blaster
178 degree viewing angle
48-bit deep color panel
Stylus sensitivity as in Z-ultra
32GB internal memory
4GB RAM
3Ghz quad core processor that will be launched as per Qualcomm by the time next model comes out or 8 core model which is more upto date then,even maybe a 64 bit processor
Glove mode
Wireless Charging
LED and Xenon flash combo
Manual mode for X-reality engine
sapphire crystal instead of glass
LTE- Advance
multiple users with multiple privileges
Motion sensing using front Camera
running any app in multitask on single screen. even multiple instances of same app

Personally, I can agree with the Glove mode and the recording although I want 4K... They should enable it in the future with a software update but who knows... Anyways, IR blaster is not that necessary.. There's a good reason why there are TV remotes.. Sony's digital stabilisation is bloody good and they never use manual OIS so don't expect it... Don't know about the walkman amp but hell when I tested it yesterday, headphone audio was good...

Well don't leave us hanging man! tell us why there's a good reason there are TV remotes!
oled screen like psvita (z1 screen is good, but not that good viewing angles, and black levels not comparable to super amoled) (galaxy note 3 have super amoled
OIS - steadyshot in z1 is software implemented, a good OIS help a lot in video recording (galaxy note have OIS)
720p 120fps, 1080p 60fps, 4k and 2k video with good bitrates (adain, galaxy note 3 already have these features)
(i think its possible to add this in a firmware update, but i really doubt they will)
sony z1 loose to galaxy note 3 in all major features, only in camera pictures it wins (and a little bit disapoint for its 1/2.3 sensor)
this is disapoint. knowing that sony could have implemented all of this in z1 makes me sad. z1 has perfect design, is IP 55/58 wich is amazing, and has perfect hardware (snapdragon 800). but sony ****ed up in screen and video capabilities. if they had implemented all of this z1 would be a clear winner
if they release a z1 mini with the same specs as z1 but with 4'-4.3' screen i will buy it anyway, since it will be the only mini smartphone with flagship specs
z1 successor will have the same problems again, but just attenuated like z1 and z
Just heard about Z2 on the horizon but would treat this with a grain of salt:

Just wanted to point out that note does not have OIS either. Also the note 3 uses the pentile display which is inferior to normal 1080p which z1 got.
Idk the waterproofing and camera was enough to win me over from the note 3... Quite a few tradeoffs to consider. You're suggestions were good nontheless.

sorry, my mistake, i got confused about the OIS in the LG G2.
and about the oled display, i was reffering to the oled that sony uses in its PSvita. it doesnt use pentile matrix
an sony phone with oled display, 4k video, 1080p 60 fps, and OIS would be an instant buy. an mini version with similar specs would be a dream
waterproof and camera was enough for me too, even if the video recording is a little bit disapointing. and the triluminos display in z1 is good enought, but not flagship. oled would be perfect

sony uses LCD on new PS Vita
http://www.techdigest.tv/2013/09/sony_explain_wh.html
Another dis advantage of OLED is it is not water proof, it can easily damage on water. it is the reason why Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is using LCD, instead of SAMOLED....
And also life span, OLED does not have a good life span, you immediately see effects after 1 year use.
OLED also suck at Outdoors, can barely use it while your outdoors on a bright sun, I live in a tropical country and I love going to the beach so this is important to me.

Yeah I had an S3 and outdoors in the sun, nightmare to see anything.. I don't expect that much trouble with LCD!
Waterproof was enough to win me over, I how it's water proof, I love to swim so it will be amazing to use it in the pool
My pre-order is already in and my S3's days are numbered (I may give it to my Dad if he wants it )
I'm also really looking forward to cooking up some roms I really was in my sweet spot with Xperia when I had my Xperia Play.
here are some of the highest priority improvements for the next xperia flagship i hope to see:
SCREEN:
1. make the front glass and back glass THEMSELVES shatter proof, scratch resistant and with oleophobic coating to make the front film ONLY optional (the Z1 front glass itself is ONLY "scratch resistant", and if there's no way to make the glass itself shatter resistant with out having to put a film on then ditch the glass material for other material (sapphire ?)/all aluminum. just not plastic. by either way:
a. you treat many people that HATE screen films, like me. people who wants to put a film can always do that.
b. the screen quality will not be affected at all by a mandatory external film (a really minor effect, small as it may be, but it's still an effect, right? right).
2. do not print your "sony" logo on the front film - it's a really cheap and dumb decision. either engrave it on the front glass itself or don't engrave it at all on the front. and just don't tell me that the back "sony" and "xperia" logos are not printed on the back film as well, otherwise it will be too stupid.
just don't make the film a mandatory thing and don't ship the units with it on. of course one can remove the film but it would be a silly thing to do since the glass will be more fragile and without oleophobic coating - so it's not a wise thing to do.
i have my iphone 3gs for 4 years now and i have only 2 tiny scratches on the screen, why? cause i put it in ultra thine leather folder case which is a MUCH better compromise then using a phone with a film on which i can't stand, plus it gives real protection against drops, etc. much better protection then what the film brings.
3. improve the screen quality even more, especially the viewing angles to AT LEAST match the htc one/iphone 5 viewing angles.
4. gloves mode.
SOUND:
1. louder speaker or 2 speakers for a fuller and louder sound if possible.
2. higher quality audio - dedicated chip.
STORAGE:
1. at least 32gb internal.
Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge finally discard the sleazy plastic build, appearing with an attractive fusion of sharp metal lines and plenty of glass design. And the S6 Edge competes for the flashpoint with two curved screens. The new phone pair makes a stir with new features, which would push Samsung to regain the top spot in global smartphones war, or, ill reverse the sagging sales?
How good is the new Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge?
Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge quite meets users who pursue premium design and specs.
New metal and glass dress. The new phones run away from plastic construction adopted by the past 5-generation flagship smartphone. The upscale metals and glass would definitely be more exquisite and solid.
Android 5.0 and 5.1-inch screen. Both of them feature Android 5.0 Lollipop which brings genuine 64-bit architecture to sharply accelerate the start-up speeds of system and applications. And the 5.1-inch screen is much larger than iPhone 6 yet fits in a much higher resolution (2,560x1,440 pixels, a density of 577 ppi).
Wireless Charging. S6 and S6 Edge deliver built-in wireless charging support to provide a more convenient phone charging mode. What’s more, the1.5X faster charging speed assuages the concern of battery fully.
Upgraded fingerprint scanning. Samsung has already put fingerprint scanner on several devices, however, the one for S6/S6 Edge is greater. It is a touch-based variant instead of erratic slide to protect personal information more effectively.
Camera launch quickly. The same home button now is featured with double-click to launch the camera in less than 1 second. Won’t miss any important time. And the front and rear cameras support higher resolutions and f/1.9.
How bad is the new Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge?
Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge sacrifices what made the previous ones be different and capable in various smartphones combats.
Removable battery has gone. Samsung Galaxy S6 /S6 Edge is sealed completely so that the battery can not be drawn out any more, not to mention replacement. At the same time, it reflects one more problem that how to keep the phone without power source and battery charger momentarily. The battery of S6 is 2,550mAh, and S6 Edge gets a more capacity at 2,660mAh, which are obviously enough to shore up the 5.1-inch displays.
Waterproofing is lost. Samsung Galaxy S5 was waterproof up to IP67 standard. However, the S6 or S6 Edge is no longer waterproof now. Don’t image that it still doesn’t matter to have a dunk in the toilet. Just keep it dry.
External Micro-SD slot is dropped. Samsung offers S6/S6 Edge users 32, 64 or 128GB of storage with no any SD card supported. Users in the past could load videos, audios, photos, books and other files on card to avoid taking up the limited Internal storage, and which is more easily and quickly to transfer such files to other devices.
Which is you more inclined to stand for? Or if you have any other views, welcome to take part in our discussion to reveal much more comprehensive information of 2015 Samsung new flagship smartphone- Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge.

"the Galaxy S7 becomes the Best Performing Smartphone Display that we have ever tested."
"What is especially news worthy and significant is that the performance of the OLED display on a flexible plastic substrate for the Galaxy S7 Edge is now essentially the same as on a traditional glass substrate for the Galaxy S7"
Wow, looks almost too good to be true. And everyone is saying these are the same displays from last year.

A quad HD display? My Note Edge is pushing 2-years old and it already has that. How disappointing for a flagship.

Srsly what would you need a higher res screen for? So your battery can drain in 1 hour? best upgrade i'd hope for is expanded Edge functional edge features, better front and rear cameras (with flash for front since I am black and dark as hell) and a big ass battery. Everything else is good.

Note 7 Couple confirmed specs: 5.7" QHD SAMOLED, 64GB + microSD, 12MP DualP / 5MP, IP68, black/silver/blue
Hmm...gain a slightly better rear camera (Never use front camera) ,an Iris Scanner , faster processor, slightly bigger battery......Lose IR blaster, replaceable battery, edge functionality.
Guess i'm keeping my Note Edge for another year Lets see what the Note 8 Edge brings...

I really hope this one actually does have proper Edge functionality. Is it confirmed that its gonna be just like the dumb S7 edge? except with a pen?
And what is up with Samsung ditching IR blasters left and right? Do they not know how useful it is?
I hope that the Note 7 has a bigger screen than 5.7. Having curved edges on both sides is going to take away usable space for writing with the stylus. If Samsung keeps same length to width ratio, I'd just prefer the screen to be flat. Most of the edge stuff seems like a gimmick to me anyway. Many of the edge apps could be usable on a flat screen and don't depend so much on the curvature of a screen.

Note for me. Totally use every aspect of my Edge display on the Note Edge. I do hope more apps start using the Edge screen. Poweramp and Samsung native apps like S Note utilize the curve very wisely. I tried using power amp on my other flat screen phone and it was actually painful not having the extra UI on the edge screen

Glad you find it useful and I can see how some things can be done nicely and take advantage of the curve for controlling or operating apps with the right hand. But in general, I think that most of the things one could do are possible on a flat strip on the side edge. Maybe not quite as ergonomically as with a curved screen. But I prefer having the space dedicated for full screen use. I wish the edge feature could just be used as needed, then be completely retracted, and not take up screen space all the time. Btw, tiny burgers and the memory game was nice!
I don't think the use of S pen will be ergonomic with the edges. I'm also disappointed, I was really hoping for a 4K Display, QHD is very good already but well ...
IR blaster is a must
Removable battery is a must
Functional edge is a must
Bigger screen is a must
Samsung - are u listening?
Note 4/note edge was the best iteration in series. If it had note 5 deisgn with ir blaster, SD card and removable battery, you would never need to upgrade lol. We can stay on note 4 for like 2 more years with the specs it has/ custom kernel, rom or whatever. I'm actually looking forward to the note 7 because it should be a decent upgrade from what I've seen so far plus I'll always have my note edge as a back up phone in case I do get the note 7
Finally announced! !!
So does it have an Infra red sensor ( to use as remote) and a removable battery?
Well here it is in all its glory and it's huge price tag!

Water proof so no removable battery.

Accelerometer, Barometer, Fingerprint Sensor, Gyro Sensor, Geomagnetic Sensor, Hall Sensor, HR Sensor, Iris Sensor, Proximity Sensor, RGB Light Sensor
Went to Best Buy to look at the Note 7, They are almost identical to the Galaxy S7 edge. The main difference is a slightly bigger screen (5.7 instead of 5.5) and the s pen. The curved edge is nothing like the one on the Note Edge and is just a design element, not useful in anyway, exactly like the one on the Galaxy S. If my Note Edge wasn't almost 2 years old I wouldn't even consider the new Note. I am really going to miss the edge functionality.
Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the , all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Great
Weird thread but ok. Love this phone actually, just wish the battery life was better and that the Moto team spent more time on the camera software.
Agreed battery life not as good as hoped and camera needs attention hopefully can be sorted with updates

This phone is a steal at its price point, android 1, great camera, great performance except for gaming which I haven't checked, good speaker and signal strength.
tl;dr of pros and cons
Pros
48MPx camera (quad pixel, 12MPx image and 5MPx depth sensor)
25 MPx FFC
4K Video (30fps)
Slow-mo ([email protected] and [email protected])
OIS (rear camera only)
Fingerprint sensor is relatively fast
Face unlock
21:9 LCD
HDR10 certified display that's bright enough on a sunny day
Reasonably loud speaker
Quick charging
Headphone jack
Overall design
Performance
Cons
Light bleed around the FFC on LCD
Fingerprint sensor is not reliable
Touch sensitivity is horrible white charging
Again, touch is less sensitive while using screen protector
Little bit buggy software (as of September 2019)
Camera app is bit slow
turbopower is QC 2.0, not the newer one QC3.0
GPS sometimes slower
Good to know stuff
NFC antenna is below fingerprint sensor
LCD is behind Gorilla Glass 2.5D
Back glass is Gorilla Glass 3D
Photos in low light might have purple-ish tint, but only sometimes ?

Did you start facing too much problems after android Q
related to LCD, system ui etc?
What was there a change in screen refresh rate after android Q? Please reply ASAP.
" LCD is behind Gorilla Glass 2.5D " ....
Let's see , I have this phone almost a year , first I was really in a hurry to put on a screen protector but due the curved screen I can't use it so since several months I use the phone without screen protector , only with a plastic back cover . I must say I'm surprised all this time the screen is scratchless , absolutely clean and bright . I don't know what Gorilla Glass class is but it's fine to me .
