Hi all,
I have the red Ion (lt26h) and now a nice black V. Here are some quick impressions:
1. Battery life: the Ion seems to happily last a few hours longer than the V. I listen to music and Whatsapp a lot.
2. Screen: the screen on the Ion seems to have better contrast, deeper blacks and the V looks slightly yellowish
3. Audio: the music output via speakers sounds better on the Ion. Via headphones, the V has more distortion
4. Camera: the rear camera on the V is sharp, fast and virtually zero lag. The front camera blows monkeychunks and feels like a bad joke - poor quality, not sharp, etc.
I'll add more as I discover them... anything in particular you guys want to know?
The Ion is definitely a "premium" phone. But the V will be with me often, especially when out in the field where I know I'll get drenched in rain.

Follow-up on battery life: in Singapore this is marketed as the "Bond Phone". It's no wonder he was uncontactable for so long!

Hehe yes a little
But seriously I´ve just got my V and it feels so and so, coming from a Note II it feels a little small and slow... I know it's a personal preference but should I stick with it or change to an Ion? ( just looking for user inputs )

Ive switched from note/note2 to V and T aswell. Loving the switch so far, running cm on the T and stock on V. For some reason the V feels a bit better in my hand than the T. The volume rocker and power button is better placed aswell on the V. Waiting to see new sony phablet aswell but so far very happy with my V minus the batterylife since im used to note2.

I came from Samsung Galaxy Note and haven't looked back. Don't miss my old device at all and the camera functionality and resolution is epic.
I've also found all the little Sony add-ons to be excellent too, such as Smart Connect allowing you control of what happens when you swipe an NFC tag, when you plug the charger in, when you plug your headphones in, etc.
Then there's location based WiFi to save power when you are away from home and save your contract data when you're not!
I could go on...
Bu seems to be no dev for this phone... maybe that will chnage soon
saw a model of the xperia T and damn.. it looked and felt nice..

Things will definitely pick up, a few big guys are already on board and cm10 is racing forward as a result, more top devs are coming too. :!

Anything aosp based can be ported ridiculously easily.
If people request ROMs that's when they will appear. I cant speak for stock based ones but I can compile aosp based ROMs with about a days effort.

If you have spare money - don't even think, upgrade. It's a phone you'll be happy with for many many months, and it's so much better than S in almost every aspect.
AW: Upgrade from XS
I guess i should have expected thosr answers im just a student though amd dont really have a lot of money
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
For those who have had/used both how do the screens compare i was more than happy with my XS.
I have both the S & Z, The Z is so much quicker and responsive everything is just a better experience,
But if money is tight It may be worth waiting to see what the S Jelly Bean experience is like.
Of course if you want the bigger beautiful screen and are in the habit of dropping your phone in the Loo then the upgrade to the Z is a no-brainer easily the best phone available at the moment (In my opinion)
AW: Upgrade from XS
I guess ill just hope XS JB will ne good else ill wait till i have enough money

Lol..why wouldnt it be worth it, Z/ZL is better than XS in every aspect and yes the screen is better..

i worked with S4 and read lots of review and ...
and i have xz (cause i bought it before S4)
of course S4 is so fast but lots of people report lags as always in samsung smartphones but in launcher level u can use another launcher so it s not matter
S4 has so good camera quality (better optimization than x Z so far)
u can watch youtube about drop tests > S4 will break easily ! But X Z has more durability and of course IP57
but about screen quality
X Z has very good quality (at least in my experience since first firmware till now) and i compared it with noteII, S3 and S4 > X Z has brighter screen
performance of X Z is awesome and i don't see any delay to load home screen after playing FHD 3D games but samsung has lag even on Octa-cores (i don't understand WHY !?)
about design;
X Z has its special design called omni-balance as u know and another special thing for durability
S4 is lite and with 5" it s really comfortable (maybe this design caused to break and crack easily!)
that was my experiences about both device (however u know S4 part )
:good:
I'm happy that I got the Z and I came from S4. Only 2nd day though. The camera lag on the S4 annoyed me. Pictures with the Z snap instantly. Will say more in a few days.

I read it a few times and nope. The Sony Z might have lags elsewhere but the camera has no lag the S4 does.
The only time the camera lags is in the first time u lunch it afterwards it has no lag. Xperia Z.

The s4 is easier to hold in one hand and also for one hand operations as u may know..whereas the xz has an amazing design and feel..the recent 4.2.2 update improved many things but some minor lags are present in the ui,which we all know will be fixed soon....I would choose the xz forever..

Which is better

'Better' is subjective. Try both phones in a shop or something and decide for yourself. Any opinions you get here will not help you as people have differing requirements, expectations and opinions on things.

For battery life - Note 2
Everything else - Z (looks, speed, resolution, water proof, wireless charging dock, Stable AOSP ROMS etc)
After samsung sgs3 i found xperia Z WAY faster in main menu and most apps. But games are awful, because Z is heating and throttling. Heating is a REAL problem, especialy in summer heat)))
I'm also hear the xperia z have a weak sound

C6603 ?
I was using nexus 4 then went to xz (broke it) now temporarily using friends note 2. I have to say this.
Note 2's battery is amazing.
Overall nexus is probably the smoothest phone.
What I feel snappiest is probably the xz. I like the xz's camera. Xz's speaker is pretty weak probably because of it's water resistant feature.
If I could.... nexus with a expansion slot and better camera would win hands down. Wait a second.... xz has the same processor and such with the features I want plus it's a really beautiful phone and awesome display. Let's just say I miss my xz right now.... and nexus 4 development.... but hey things are picking up over here. Honestly I would choose the xz over the note 2 I'm using right now.

When you power on the SW it connects automatically if the bluetooth on the phone is already switched on! It lasts 3-4 days with normal use
I'm thinking of going to sw2 though.. And the post above me is true. I have no problem with it in terms with battery and connectivity
I just bought SW2! It's perfect! So much better than the SW1
Now my xperia z just updated to 4.3 is it still suitable and good for sw1? Because sme says aftr updted to 4.3 it have too much issues....
