Without a doubt.

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.

I guess i should have expected thosr answers im just a student though amd dont really have a lot of money

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

I'm moving from Xperia T to Z, lol, I've had this phone for like four months and I'm selling already!

[Q] New Nexus 4 or used Xperia Z?

Simple question: new Nexus 4 or used Xperia Z (condition: noticeably used, but without big scratches, ~7/10)? What would you choose?
If you could, please write pros/cons. I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks.

If camera doesn't matter too much and you lkve flashing roms, and are happy with the dc-hspa speeds then get the nexus. If you decide to go for the XZ make sure it has an unlockable bootloader.

xperia is water resistant and has a bigger screen, nexus 4 has quickest updates.both are really good phones IMO, I was deciding between these two and went for xperia obviously.

Really depends on what you want your phone for.
If you are a gamer, choose the SP as it has the Adreno 320 which is MILES ahead of the Adreno 225.
If you are a pure photographer, then choose the T, because it has a 13 MP camera while the SP has 8MP
If you are an average person that does some of all of the above, then I'd say the SP is better, because of its wonderful specs and decent camera. No lag at all for me on the SP.

I would choose the SP any day. Not a big fan of arched backs.

SP. Go for SP bro. I am an old user of T. SP is Better tha T.
Only Three things is Better in T.
1) RAM management. Awsom in T.
2) Camera
3) Display. 100 % Better than SP
Other wise SP is the winner..

Better go for SGS III or Nexus 4 or get more money and buy XZ. In Poland different between SP and Z is about $75 - $100 (New SP <-> almost new Z).
I would go for Nexus 4 if I need to choose again (and have not enough money for Z). Always updated custom roms.
I don't regret buying SP but annoying is no CM for C530x yet.

I also tought about buying Xperia T but 2 things made me choose for SP:
- better battery and stamina mode
- more recent so longer updates ( I guess )

Okay. I think I will buy SP. I think only to buy Sony devices because I love it's UI and features. But the last thing is:
1. Is camera good in SP? and does front camera do nice photos?
Thanks

Its VGA, so don't expect any good HD pictures.
But it will do the job if you are using Face a Unlock or Skype-ing. Its not excellent though....

Then you should choose the nexus 4.
Same GPU but a Quad-Core CPU, + tons of custom ROMs and the latest android available -- just awesome
I wish I could have a nexus 4 but it is not available in my country

Camera in SP is actually better than Z or T. 2 of my friends have a T and a Z. we did a camera comparison test. and guess what, SP was the winner, in low light and outdoor. might have less MP's than the others but the quality is awesome.

Performance wise the SP is close to the N4. Our processor has a high clock speed, we have a better battery and expandable storage. For the price it's a very good 4g phone.
I could have got a better phone but I don't need flagship performance. It's a bit snobby to say this, but I have to raise my eyebrows when people get the most expensive phones and only really use them to make calls, send texts and take basic photos.

Z or ZL?

I've an option of swapping my xperia z for a ZL for a small cost. What do u guys think? I love my ZL but the newer Z is tempting.
All opinions welcome . it will help me to decide

Zl is better if you want a compact phone, but i would go for the z, becoz it has more devs.

no..i meant Z..its new in the box. not newer than z1.
BTW i decided against this swap - went to a sony store to check out the Z against my ZL...didnt quite like the bigger size and the flaps ..have a sony digicam with the flap which broke in a year..so not a big fan of that design..plus it feels bigger in hand..so decided to keep my ZL even though the deal itself was definitely good ..

Z bro..more dev.
Sent from my C6603

For me, the Z was too big.
Also, because of the shape and backplate, it's not comfortable to hold in 1 hand.
The ZL is much better, 7.5(!!)mm shorter and 2mm narrower.
Also has infrared and camera-button.
Z has more devs and waterproof.
Just decide which are important for you

Love Sony only Ubuntu touch keeps intresting me.

I love Sony since my p900i. Joined xda in the x10 days and moved to,arc s, xperia s, xperia t, xperia z and now z1.
Really love Sony the only problem is I'm curious about Ubuntu touch.
Is anybody else here interested, or am I the only with xz1? And developers maybe?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

EDIT
sorry you do have a Z1.
Please post in the correct section,(I have already asked the mods to move it)

i would love to see ubuntu working on my z1. But only if it works flawless. if it's a beta or something, then i lose all interest

I'm rather interested too, I am going off Sony's attempt at Android skinning, since the update to 4.4 I'm not liking it.

Really? I find it quite good looking, specially compared to the other three big android manufacturers(Samsung, HTC, LG)
It could use some polish though and more animations

Yep agreed
Though HTC is not bad
Samsung And LG are the ones that truly butchered it, touchwiz and optimus UI, those ugly mother******s really need a serious update
