Xperia z beats the htc one by a long way!!
Xperia z with its media features. Its snapdragon s4 processor is the latest and the strongest!!
And with its additional water proofiNg makes it the strongest mobile ever!
And also dont forget the best camera till now with video hdr and exmor!!!
Htc does not stand a chance
I cant even think why you even thought of htc!!!

Do you hear that really loud noise?
yep, its the sony fanboi alarm! Spewing forth rubbish and desperately trying to present it as fact.
I'm afraid to say no one agrees with what you just said.
Lol, the xperia z is 2012 phone with 2012 tech.
HTC One is cutting edge tech, unlike the xperia z which has outdated tech.
HTC One FTW!

+1.
HTC ONE had the most recent snapdragon 600.
And it is more innovative than xperia Z.

i like design of Xperia Z batter than HTC One

I would have to agree with XtremeSilencer. Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan on of the One X but the Xperia Z looks like the best device Sony has ever released. I haven't been hands on with one yet but I'm sure it has no more or less bloatware than the HTC. Camera features will be comparable since SONY provides cameras to almost all manufacturers including Apple. Only thing that I dislike about Sony is the updating through their proprietary software. They also seem to be a bit slack on updates in general. Anyway that is my opinion. Choose wisely or wait for the new HTC Flagship.

I'm not entirely sure I love the look of that, although it is pretty cool.
But 720p is wicked cool.

Love the design. Love how they made the hardware buttons into that thin illuminated stripe. Way better than the 3 large silver buttons they had before. I'm usually an HTC guy, but if this phone comes out at the right time I might pick it up.
I wouldn't mind them making the next nexus

Very clean design.. i am in love with the arc, but did not buy one because of the single core processor. If it launches up to february 2012 i will buy one of these, if not, Galaxy Nexus it is.

When to expect this jewel ?
Test benchmark are not impressive, although I understand the screen resolution makes it difficult to run a comparison to my SGSII... But that's 1,750 vs. 3,250...
Hopefully, real performance will be butter smooth...

Xperia J Review & Discussion

Hello,
I know that in many thread sections, users have a review thread. I have not seen one for the Xperia J yet. Are there any Xperia J users that would like to mention what they like and dislike about their phone?
I notice the battery is huge, I wonder do users get a couple of days use before having to charge again? I've heard about a lag on the phone, do people find this? Also, I read that the audio is not brilliant, any ivews? :fingers-crossed:
Ok...
Battery 2-3 days
Audio speaker it's powerfull, with good bass
Keyboard very laggy, exchanged with SwiftKey
Even dialing a number I've counted some lags, exchanged with Dialer
Camera it's poor in low light conditions, very good outside in sunny landscapes
Evidently nice design
And a final aspect, at this price range its a bargain.
If you want a clean and sharp screen, hd, no lags, a perfect camera, go for a flagship xperia.
Sorry for my English.. I'm from Romania

Thanks friend, that's good to know. :good: And you're English is very good!
as for me, my xperia J's battery last 3 1/2 (just doing some texting/calling and very minimal internet)..so far I haven't experienced prob with my stock keyboard, got some few lags when I'm using the cosmic flow live wallpaper, and also got some prob with that timescape widget, it doesn't update even tho I've already set it up to be on automatic...so far I'm happy with my xperia J but when the xperia Z comes out next year I'll probably by that one instead of the V
Thanks for the input!
I notice that there are some more expensive Xperia phones with higher screen resolutions - but the batteries of those phones die very quickly, even if the capacity is more e.g. 1900mha etc. It's a good thing that this (very good) resolution was used in the phone, I think.
Can someone please suggest me, should i buy this phone or Samsung Ace Plus coz the price and spec not so much different.. Thanks

Yeah i know so many people said this XJ was a Laggy Phone, but so far i'm excited with this XJ. Good in design and it was built in Corning Gorilla Glass !! I use this phone for daily activity and office so i'm good so far until the JB is relase. I love my XJ with all weakness. Even when they are leaving you one day later

iI got my xj a week ago but had to send it off to sony because of sd reader problem. but the 3 days i had it i was impressed with it evan though its a single core its a good one better than my ray gta3 game was realy laggy on my ray but on my xj its really smooth. had a few lags but v6 supper charger & kak Script soon sorted that out if people are having lag problems i sugest they try these scripts plus it gives 3g tweaks wich is an added bonus. so over all im pleased with it just cant wait for more roms and mods to be released

XJ an awesome phone with superb media capabilities..the device does lag pretty often but its ok for the price u pay n what u get for it..the screen is great and the audio impeccable..id advise using ur own earphones tho..sounds lovely with ma skullcandies n sennheisers..video playback is great but id recommend a 3rd party player like moboplayer..gives u more codec support..not really the phone for heavy gamers.of late even temple run has started to lag..gonna root this device n toss in a custom rom soon..as soon as I get my hands on older firmware..new firmware cant be rooted I hear

one of the members here already released a root for our phone guys, thought you might check it out
Bought the j for my wife , long Battery was the biggest requirement and yes it certainly meets this requirement she gets 3 days out of it
It is a little laggy to me but I've got a note 2 is like comparing a porsche with a ford fiesta
My wife is very happy with it and I only pay £13 pm on 3 and get loads of allowance so I'm happy and so is my wife

Xperia z or optimus G

Hi xda here is my "problem" : i get a lot money for Xmas and i d like to buy a really powerfull phone so i first thought that i would buy optimus G but, after the i learned that a Xperia z and with shiny useless specs, like water resistance would be released, i just can't choose between the two phones what would you guys choose?
Ps: yeah i know what you'll probably : think i m a useless rich noob, and you are right i m a ****ing big noob ! (but not rich)
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
Both have similar specs (same CPU and GPU!)
but Z has better display, a bit bigger battery, bigger screen, but lesser memory. (but expandable!)
+ waterproof and dust proof as they've said.!
life!
Sony Xperia Z is a single sim phone with 4.1.2 android operating system, 5 inch screen display, 13 mega pixel rear camera & VGA front camera, Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait Processor and 2330 mAh battery capacity.
LG Optimus G is a single sim phone with 4.0.4 android operating system, 4.7 inch screen display, 13 mega pixel rear camera & VGA front camera,Quad-core 1.5 GHz Processor and 2100 mAh battery capacity.
I will suggest you Sony Xperia Z because its an amazing mobile phone. You can read full details here:
themobileindian.com/handset-guide/compare/Sony~3757,LG~3491
sony is improving .:good:
vote 1 for Xperia Z
Optimus g, 5 inch is just too much screen. 4,7 is just on the edge

Imho Sony is making good smartphones; I always had Sony Ericsson cellphones and I switched to Xperia smartphones!
I already had 3 android Sony/Sony Ericsson smartphones and it was never a pain.
I don't know if it's only me, but it seems Sony use a good configuration, in terms of hw and sw!
Oh, and the best GPS network services are the Sony Ericsson ones (;
That said, I don't know really if G have some better feature, I'll wait for some guru to say their opinions!

Well thanks for your advices guys, Sony now look more attractive to me, and because i m using a Xperia arc i think that the z will be the one i will choose but i still need to wait a month or two before it will be released in France :'(

hmmm
after using the xperia Z at my job (which sells phones) I am HUGELY dissapointed atb its putrid screen, its washed out and grainy, and the 1080p video plays better on the optimus G than the Xperia Z, not only that the Optimus G has a Better camera! that's right better, the Xperia Z has good indoor shots but thats it, the optimums G does better video and Outdoor shots.
If you really need the 1080p screen get the xperia Z, everything erlse get the Optimus g

What phone would you upgrade to?

what phone would u upgrade to ?
i wanted to see what other peoples fav phones are.
galaxy note 2 or nexus 4
Xperia Z.
If only i could use a sense based rom on xperia Z, well that would be my next phone.. timescape UI (if i'm not mistaken with the name) don't have that premium and professional look. But hardware wise, xperia Z would be it..
Sent from my HTC One S4 using xda-developers app
HTC One X+ purely because there are a lot of things out there for HTC.
Then again Xperia Z has 2 Gig of RAM and same thing with Nexus 4.
What ever has top hardware when my 2 years are up lol.
Xperia z looks good and i'd flash roms on it to make it like a nexus
Padfone2, only because of the hybrid tablet/phone. I think its an awesome feature.
Waiting for motorola x phone to see whats coming up next gen from motoogle/googlerola, lol
Nexus 4 or Padfone 2 atm also xperia z. No more htc due to their actual behaviour, and never Samsung/Apple (dislike).
Don't know why anyone would want a 5inch phone I feel 4.3 is perfect
If anything for an upgrade would be nexus 4 but that feels a bit big for me too lol

htc one or s4 or xperia z

I am thinking to buy a new smart phone so any one suggest me smart phone from htc one or s4 or xperia z
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
do you prefer music(xperia Z) or good screen resolution+gorilla glass screen(s4)?
Sent from my HTC Bliss/Rhyme
you don't want to buy xperia Z because it has a bad screen unless you want your phone to take showers with you
so it hands down to s4 or htc one
for me i would buy S4 over htc one anyday
xperia z, the screen is not so bad like they say
There isn't a best universal smartphone is a personal choice.
HTC one has a great sound,a metal body and a camera that does very good night photos(but it has only 4 megapixels) and JB 4.1.2
Galaxy s4 has a lot of software-features like gestures,s-voice multi winows etc,a 13 megapixel camera and a expandible memory with JB 4.2.2.
Xperia z is a great phone but i don't like it but it cost 50 euros less than other two
Sorry for bad english
Of those three, I personally prefer the HTC One. I actually like some of the additions in Sense 5, and it isn't nearly as bad as previous iterations (in my opinion). I'm waiting to see if they do an Xperia Z reboot though; I'd love one that has an improved screen and something like a Snapdragon 800.
You might want to wait a bit and check out the newly announced Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Screen is supposedly much better than previous Z. However, no LED flash, and it's quite large (6.44-inch screen), but thin.
s4 .........

Definitely not Xperia z. The washed out screen, the sub par battery life and the horrendous speaker makes it a no no.

HTC one black for me! solid body and sound!
For me, the great camera and speaker of the S4 got me. I was tempted to get the One, but its lack of Microsd support and removable battery kinda disappointed me. Xperia z is a good phone in its own right, but its last gen processor, washed out screen and poor camera was the thing to push me to the S4.
Just pointing out, there's a device suggestion thread for questions like this. Ultimately it comes down to what you want from the device.
The HTC One has the most premium build and the best design IMO as well as the smoothest UI and the best speakers. It would definitely be my personal choice.
The S4 has a removable battery, SD slot and the most feature rich software but it lags where no 2013 flagship should, AMOLED screens are ugly and the phone itself feels awful.
The Xperia Z has waterproofing as well as an SD slot but the viewing angles on the display are awful. I think it's a bit out of place in this since if you're going to consider it then you may as well also consider the Nexus 4 which is cheaper as well as having a superior display (after calibration) and better software.
While I'd recommend the N4 over all three purely because of how cheap it is, if I had to choose between the given options I'd pick the One.
I would recommend to get the HTC one in black, it looks amazing. I owned the HTC one, galaxy s 4 and optimus g pro. I have a comparison thread if any of you is interested.

I thought the One was beautiful. Then I saw it in black.
I say S4, Htc one the only good thing about it well two things out has a decent camera and one hellava speaker of you don't care about expandable storage go for HTC my main advice is to stick with S4 otherwise HTC. No comments on xperia

I've used s3, Xperia Sammy is okay to some extent but Sony has nothing great nor dispay or sound. Right now a from a months time I'm using HTC one, satisfied with the overall outcome
except the camera not par with competitors.
Best built quality
Stereo speakers with amazing loudness and clarity bass effect is too good
Display is awesome..

I've working with the Samsung GS4 and the HTC One, both have its unique set of inconveniences. I bought the S4 for my own device due to 2 factors, SD card and Battery removal. Samsung has placed some kind of security feature in the S4 which wasn't there on the S3. The HTC was a bit more painful to work with with their security feature turned on. Oh BTW, I dunno about anyone else...but I'm having a hell of a time getting the HTC One developer's edition to turn on wifi. Just my .02.
