Some of us here really like the Xperia Z and want to switch , here is a video comparison
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3yJDFtGX_Q&feature=youtube_gdata_player
the 4X's screen is way better in terms of color reproduction

Really? 4xx PPI vs 312 ppi? And on top of that Bravia engine? I don't think so. The Xperia Z is in another league my man. Yah the o4x is an awesome phone, but there's no way it can compare to the Xperia Z. But I were to get one, I'd opt out for the ZL.

The bravia engine has been hacked . It is on most android devices .
@theofficialpimp
Xperia Z has 2GB RAM and Full HD screen and water resistance ,, So no way to compare but O4X still too good :thumbup:
And do not forget the big difference between price .

Yup, really, 441 ppi doesn't have anything to do with color reproduction, Bravia Engine 2 could, but here it doesn't...and Xperia Z it is another league, that's why 4X is AWESOME
Just look video from 2:40 wow XZ is owned by X4, Sony take my deepest sympathy...:crying:

Only your eyes will tell you how gorgeous is the screen on Xperia Z...
There's nothing to compare.
The Z is light years ahead in every aspect if you try to put it against our 4X.

Actually, that's what I expect. It's brand new while our 4X is nearly a year old. Things change fast these days. Three years ago the best you could get was 900MHz single-core with 480x800 screen. Two years ago the best you could get was the 2X with dual-core, still with 4" display in 480x800. And it was until last year that the quad-core phones and HD screens were introduced. So it's the logical next step, even higher performance and even better displays. What doesn't mean our phones are obsolete now. Android can't even handle four cores properly.

Well my eyes told me, looking at this video, that Z is not so spectacular. Even more it fails short in color and brightness department.
Or I should use my ears to hear (look) what daddy Sony has to say about it's child Z?!?
And there is nothing to compare, man R U SERIOUS?!?
There are great screens out there and they are comparable!!!
So stop wasting your energy on blabering nonsense and seek for some sense, then come back
I just found one aspect where 4X beats Z, and blindness began...

Well... You saw a video of a display,wasn't your eyes.
So,what i said is right.
Again,there's nothing to compare.
Even with your arrogance the Z still light years ahead and,if a phone is better,this makes our 4X worse?
FTGS!!! ¬¬'
And about "sense",i prefer UXP :good:!
The only thing blind is your nescience.

Videos doesn't do any justice to how beautiful the Xperia Z will be. Hell, my co-workers HTC Droid DNA has a 1080P display with 440PPI...and my O4X doesn't even get close to how sharp color reproduction is.

seems like ips panel is still good on color reproductions

IPS is the best display's tech for me.
But sometimes an TFT(SLCD) like this looks better.

upgrading to Xperia Z

hi all
i was wondering if it worth upgrade to xperia z from Lg optimums 4x, or should i keep it

It heats up just like the S3 or any other dual/quad core cpu smartphone. You won't find a smartphone with a cpu like that which won't heat up - unfortunatelly.

unfortunatelly thats true, so today i went to the shop and try the xperia z and it was great the screen look perfect(i compare it to note 2) the touch and feel of the phone is super great and the phone it self look appealing, there is one thing the sound is bit lower than i expected.

As stated here, no cooling fans etc, high cpu speed packed into small bundle, very limited to disipate the heat generated. No phone is not going to head up significantly when under load, the more Cores and GHz the more heat

Hey guys I also upgraded to Xperia z from the note 2 (went for the looks, ignoring the inside cooks)...
and I also made the dealer apply a screenguard on that phone straightaway...
But the picture quality of the phone seems to be a little bad than note 2....
I compared both the phones having same pic on both the phones but note 2 seems to have sharper images....
Do I have a problem with my phone or is it like this originally.?

I got you perfectly.
Turn off Bravia engine and see what you think, I feel it affected the sharpness, I came from an S3 and think the display on the XZ is incredibly sharp.
As for the "dull" colours, it's probably because the SuperAMOLED screens in the GN2 and the S3 were very saturated compared to the LCD in the XZ, personally though, I always used my S3 in "Standard" display mode which removed much of the saturation and I'm a lot happier with the more realistic colours of the XZ.
The camera on the other hand is a different story, and I find it difficult to get photos that come close to what I could take on my S3, too much post processing I presume on the XZ, and they don't do a very good job of it.

Take into consideration the resolution of the image you are testing. This is a full hd screen so it needs full hd images to compare or it will just stretch them causing blurred.

I see, I'm afraid I can't really contribute any further to the discussion in that case. personally I think on my device it looks much sharper than my S3 did.
Does this issue show up in a screenshot? Perhaps there is some strange graphical issue with your device.

[MOD][PORT] Sony BRAVIA Engine 3

Sony BRAVIA Engine 3 Ported To The Galaxy Note II
The Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine 3 is a video enhancement program for Sony phones. It uses filters and algorithms to create a clearer and more contrasted picture and an overall smoother experience. This is perfect for the Note II's huge HD screen but can be a little to saturated for people like photographers who want to see how the photo looks exactly with out any enhancements. The change is not huge but is definitely noticeable if two devices are compared. This program is very light weight and works with all models of the Note II so far.
While the latest BRAVIA ENGINE 3 builds on tried and tested BRAVIA ENGINE technology, it does so with the advantage of a new picture processing software.
This new technology has allowed BRAVIA ENGINE to improve - even in respect to its own dazzling performance:
Contrast. Increased depth and clarity, as well as new light control technology to control peak brightness levels, means stunning images even on the brightest of scenes.
Colours. New colour histogram technology detects and optimises overall colour distribution of each frame. This technology delivers breathtaking colour by making millions of improvements to each frame before you even see it.
Detail. Advanced Noise Reduction lies behind BRAVIA’s ability to show you every blade of grass on a football pitch and really put you at the heart of the action.

What about videos ? I mean recording a video ? Does it look better ? colors and contrast ?

I will never understand those who want to ruin the real colors. For me, the screen is supposed to give the best reproduction of the real colors.
Lie will never be better than the truth - even when the photo/video is creepy.

[X-Reality] What is it?

Introduction​So I was wondering what X-Reality is and decided to search it up.
I found a video about X-Reality, explaining what it is and what it does.
I decided to test it out myself. Using a port for the Xperia V.
I want you all to watch this video and reply about what you think about this.
Is it worth the port? Is it good?​
Video​Click here to watch​
My Personal Testing​So after a few testing with Bravia Engine 2 and X-Reality,
I found out that there's not much difference in the quality.
I can't provide proof. That's why I want to discuss this with you all.​

Actually, you cannot compare it with "unofficial" device
The best compare, it's with real device which support X-Reality engine
Also GPU and display density can make soo much different

True but based on what she said in the video, it doesn't have any difference.

Yes you can trust her research. You can learn more about it in her Triluminos video. There she explains things more deeply.

Sent from my LT25i using Tapatalk 2

Have you taken the time to look at one of the recent Amoled devices from Samsung like the Note 2 or Gs3 there actually a bit on the dull side at times there screens don't have as much pop as the older Amoled screens of the past though there is defiantly some improvements as so as the Gs4 as well with it being even sharper with a better colour range or something the Trluminus for mobile is at least a decent display I'm sure it won't disappoint to bad I'm hoping and waiting for Sony to launch a device again compact like the ZL but like the Z1 in the spec department before I buy another Sony smartphone .

Bravia Engine...all time??

So I know that our display is fading when it stands vs HTC, LG, Samsung screen but if we make Bravia Engine always ON the situation changes, the screen could be equal or maybe a little bit better than others with more power consumption.
So its this possible..to have bravia engine in games, homescreen, anywhere in sistem? As I read on the internet I didnt found an exact answer for this question.

Theoretically it would be possible but the battery drain would be enormous ATM, unless Sony delivers some tweaks!
That's probably the reason why they haven't done.that in the first place!
Sony.would be better off with an oled display, tweaking it and sticking the BE2 ENGINE or x-reality into that, saving battery consumption. Then they would be unbeatable for a while!

OK its quite late , but I can suggest you some alternative try it and lemme know..
google is your best friend , search for Screendim.apk and install it
enable it and set the bottom bar ( contrast ) for about 60% and the brightness on top for about 60-70% and now tell me how dark or colorful your screen looks
this defnitely works.. not perfect but close to BE alwasy ON types..

Nope. Neither my Xperia S nor my Xperia Neo nor my Nexus 4 nor everything i've owned had a better screen.
Maybe there are some people on the world who like natural colours, becoz after looking at a amoled display my head hurts.
The display of the lg g2 is the only one which impressed me though, this is miles better, but nothing else.

If you display some screen calibration patterns while using bravia engine, you see how bad it is for fidelity. It just oversaturates, tints, and destroys detail in brighter and darker areas of images/videos.
If a phone has a screen of 300/1 contrast ratio, there is no way some software can improve this, it only can put some make up but at the cost of some other things, just like LCD's are doing since the beginning with dynamic contrast and all that bullsh*t, where you see skin become shiny bright and where there used to be a dark grey shadow over a black background, then it becomes all black and no shadow.
BE is the first thing i disable in all my Sony products, and its equivalent in any non Sony product.

I think that our screen without bravia its complety UGLY! :-&

I never had any issues with the colours on my device. Infact I prefer them this way as opposed to colour popping and extra vibrant. Infact I turn down that setting on my LCD monitor. A friend of mine did a side by side comparison against his Samsung device and the 1st thing he notices was the colour was more toned down then said he actually preferred the Sony display. Point is some ppl like the toned down visuals and others like them vibrant but funny how as someone says they have no issue with the Sony display they are labeled a blind fanboy.
As for viewing angles, Also never had an issue with them due to the fact that I always take up my phone when I want to look at it (always, its a habit of mine) and never just glance at it while it is on a desk or anything like that.

Xperia Z Screen is OK, i have been using it everyday since launch date, viewing angles may be low, but that is something i forgot completely in everyday use. Screen brightness is more than enough, contrast is ok, and visual fidelity is great (as long as you have BE2 deactivated).
For people saying there were better screens two years ago, please point me to a device released two years ago with a 5" FullHD screen with better specifications.
We all know the XZ screen, today, is not one of the best FullHD screen on a smartphone, but it was the first released.

I don't think they need a doctor or anything, it is a matter of taste, there are people who like viewing screen with oversaturated colors and overdriven contrast just because it is more eye catchy, for god's sake they even ported the bravia engine to the galaxy nexus, and there are people who even enjoy it, if the nexus screen weren't oversaturated enough... let's oversaturate it even more and add a lot of detail loss due to contrast overdrive by BE.
Oh, also forgot to mention, "nits", why the hell would we need a screen with a gazillion of nits if at the end of the day we are all using the brightness bar to decrease it to save battery (or using the Auto mode), at the end we all are viewing the screen with about the same luminosity, it doesn't matter if our screen has 10 or 8.000.000 nits.
