This absolutely sucks that it never made it to production. Would have be an immediate purchase for me.
Sony Ericsson made its split at the completely wrong time.

Funny I have had the phone for 2 weeks and really enjoyed her review good find
I've watched her review of Galaxy Note 2 before i bought it. Honestly - i like her style very much. She focuses on the device, and not on spec/brand wars or what's "best" or "outdated". Some people forgot that not the absolutely best on the market doesn't mean bad and worthless.
Is the loudspeaker really that bad???
I really hope not.

To be honest, I think Joshua at android authority did the best review of this phone to date.

No, it's not that bad. It's not bad at all. It is slightly low on volume though if you compare it to other smartphones.

The reports I'm hearing from mates in phone shops here, is that they ain't shifting anymore at all hardly now. Guess people are hanging on for the S4???

Sony is slowly but surely finding its feet. Those numbers,if true, are very encouraging for Sony (and a feel good factor for us Z owners )
Lets hope the upcoming flagships cement Sony's position and reputation as a top manufacturer.

Better 15min than sammys 5

The article says "Sony could sell 4.6 million units of the Xperia Z in just 40 days"
So it does not say they they DID sell that many.
We'll, I hope they did. The phone is one of the best Sony have released in a long time. Everyone that I have shown it to is blown away by it. Easily the best Android phone I have used and I've had them all from the G1 till now
Edit: The article linked in the op is terrible. I still hope Sony move some units though as this phone is phenomenal!

LMAO. The Galaxy S3 sold more than 50 million. Nice try buddy.
I like the fact that this phone is a rarity. Makes it more exotic.

That info has been doing the rounds since yesterday. It's been reported by many quoting analysts. I don't think they'll be too far from the actual figure. It'll either be slightly less or slightly more.
It's still an impressive number and when you consider the fact that the phone isn't on sale in America, it's even more impressive.
Looks like the HTC didn't take much away from the Z but the S4, that's another story all together. Sales will definitely drop but if they can keep shifting 1.5 million of them every month. They'll finish the year ahead of target which is the most important thing. The Z was never going to wrestle the crown from Samsung. They are too far out in front for that but with good performance, they'll reach their target on claiming the number 3 spot from Huawei. No small feet indeed when you consider the very large Chinese market. Sony's unlikely too to penetrate the Chinese market because of the history between both peoples. They'll just have to rely on the rest of Asia and Europe. That's why they need to start looking to expand their reach in America. Europe and Asia might have been well receiving of the Z but without America, Samsung and Apple will stay out in front. HTCs problem is the reverse, they have a presence in America, particularly the US but elsewhere, they just have a niche following. With the exception of Taiwan of course.

I think that the price and size of this phone will avoid that to happen... I just want that enough smart people buy it to keep this XPZ forum alive.

Yes, let the fashion hindered people keep buying the s3 or s4. I cringe at the sight of one, it looks that bad. I don't understand why people are so in love with it.
To be honest, the only reason why Samsung picked up in the US is because if their kind replacement policy. Sales rep will sign your contact and claim 2-3 free devices on your behalf to make money.

Update: I received an insurance replacement in the end. I wouldn't recommend Sony Mobile based on my experience with them though.

In these cases, you should go up to the guy and shout at his face, and tell him its unacceptable. Thats what i would do when i first see a problem, and they would normally fix it.

Thanks for your opinion and I'm glad there can be humour in situation
That may well make me feel a bit better but would then give them a valid reason not to deal with the situation, whereas right now they are in the wrong and the support doesn't have an excuse for being so utterly useless.
This is the reply they got from me:

I would say the left hand phone is more blue tint, than white, so you have 2 phones, at either end of the "white" scale, with neither showing "white".

The Reason for the delay

So I wonder, what's causing this delay in the Z2 launch? Which component is in shortage? Don't you all wonder the same? I'm sure if all of us discuss we can get to the bottom of this.
You can take a good look at all the internal here.
Points to be considered :
1. Its not Qualcomm.
2. Each and every part except for the IPS panel, 3GB RAM and 16GB internal memory is manufactured by Sony. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
3. It cannot be the internal storage as Galaxy S5 ships with the same.
So it has to be either the 3GB RAM from Samsung, probably that's why they didn't include it in their own flagship. Or the IPS panel. To me, it seems more of the RAM issue. What about you guys?
That's already said - it's IPS panel.
Try to search a bit, there was article about that with a link to source.

Not according to Vodafone UK. although I'll only believe it 100%when I have the phone in my hands next week lol.

You'll have to Google it...
Can't remember where I saw that but I know it was on XDA.
But it was said that it'll be postponed but or limited edition will be released with panels they have or they will have.
So I guess it's not problem in manufacturing but most likely it's just factory capacity problem...
There was some rumors Sony won't stayed on IPS for Z2 because of that but I don't believe in that...

Hahaha Well that's certainly true too.
Now I just hope Sony doesn't release a Z3 in August. -_-
Z2X with a snapdragon 805 and 2k display would be better! - Wikipedia suggests it'll be a Z2X.
Well mine is still slated for 15th April so no delays on mine from Tele2 Sweden which should be considered a major partner to Sony

Aha, wondered why there was no proper reviews yet, I assumed that Journos where handed units to review at the launch, but clearly has only just happened. Personally I need to read a few reviews before going for this or waiting for something like the Mate 9 or S8
Just for you to know, that video is online (and visible to everyone) since the 5th of October.

Indeed... But the phone of the video has nothing to do with those Pixels shipped in advance by the Australian operator which are the subject of the AP article linked.
(And the video in the first post as well has nothing to do with review samples being shipped)
Lighten up ,it's a thread about pixel phones being out there now for some ,but then the Aussie messed up and sent some out early ,so there you go ,it about phones out there now
