Here's a quick review :
Build quality : is pretty damn good,
Display is what you expect any Sony phone to be, Video viewing was simply amazing, good colour and equally good contrast.
Sound while playing music and videos, was pretty crisp, and clear, not too loud, and no jarring.
Camera, just a couple f shots, and I would say, its pretty good, but not top notch, maybe a shade lower than s4 and i5 but that maybe because of the screen resolutions of the other phones in comparison.
I inserted 32 GB sd card, and have been using 3g , connectivity is competent, call clarity is acceptable, nothing to write home about, but don't get me wrong I am not complaining.
Phone works like a breeze, with the processor and RAM, combination, have a pleasant experience, played Subway surfer, for some time, graphics, and stuff looks very decent, and smoothness make me realize what I've been missing. Now I know what project butter is all about. :laugh:
A dedicated camera button, is a nice little add-on bonus, it focuses and shoots, it also wakes up camera, (of course)
BATTERY : I have not completed a day, but in 3 hours of use lost almost 29 % of the battery which includes quite a lot of fiddling with the phone, so I think , on a regular day I would not have a problem of running out of juice. but still with smartphones, U never know what to expect. I think this battery should be something between s2 and s3 ( the phones that I previously owned) i did a quick comparison with my old s3, and i am happy about the size, more happy about the smoothness, Not sure about the battery, I think s3 wins this one.
I hope this answers some of the curiosity, for now, please feel free to ask questions, not too much of a Phone expert, will do my best.

Day 1 of the xperia zr
Mixed opinions about the phone. I've come from a Motorola RAZR maxx so I've been spoilt rotten by the big battery.
The good first:
The screen is amazing. Simply marvelous to look at and the colors are epic. The camera is fantastic and the phone is such a breath of fresh air from the slow processor on the RAZR.
The waterproofing works as advertised. Dunked it in some water and it worked even with wet fingers. So that's a good thing.
The not so good now. The battery is not the greatest. Down to 42% with just about an hour of screen on, a hour of bluetooth on and about 45 mins of talking.
Not the greatest. But I'll have to buy a fewer extra chargers and get with the program.
Attached screenshots to make this completely legit.
Also, gps and 3g on throughout.

Day 2:
Weekend so no real reason to kill the battery.
Played a few songs off sound cloud, made a few phone calls, connected to my cars bluetooth and did a bit of Internet surfing
Here's how the battery did and what were the major battery eaters

@djpeesh Final Review
djpeesh said:
So it's been three weeks with this phone. Here are my thoughts:
1. The water resistance is amazing. Played around with it at my local pool and the results are stellar. Works as advertised and the camera is excellent under water. More about the camera later.
2. The phone is exceptionally fast. The 2gigs of ram and the quad core processor mean that there is absolutely no hanging. The phone zips along and doesn't stutter even when you change the orientation of the screen. It's snappy and gets the job done quickly.
3. I've already got it rooted. Thanks to @DooMLoRD.
4. Most bloatware is easily removed and doesn't piss me off anymore.
5. The camera is exceptional. Really. It's the best phone camera I've used. Pictures come out nicely and there's minimal noise. The only hitch is night shots which have quite a bit of noise and are a little grainy.
6. The battery, especially with the stamina mode on is ok. I get a full day of work done before it dies and I fiddle around quite a bit including pairing it to stream music on my hour long commute twice a day. It dies by 7pm on a heavy use day. Yes, it isn't the RAZR maxx but I can live with it. Without stamina I find my phone dying pretty much by about 3 pm after unplugging it at 5 am.
7. I haven't faced any network connectivity issues and the sound being low is a feature that's been talked about a lot but it only happens after I take it into the pool and only for about ten minutes.
8. The removable battery also means that this is a phone that I can keep for a while. The battery is already listed as an accessory on the Sony website so it should be possible to have two batteries that I can swap out when I absolutely need more juice.
9. If you turn data off and use it just for calls, sms and as a music player and a camera, the battery lasts about 3 days. I just got back from holiday where there was no data reception. I used the phone for about 20 mins of calls a day, about 30 mins of music and about 30 pictures a day. Lasted for two and a half days before needing a charge. Of course, as soon as I got home and turned on data, the battery started dropping.
10. I would rate it on par with the s4 that my buddy has (without the gimmicks of course). The plastic back also means that it is less susceptible to the glass at the back breaking like has been reported by those who have the xperia z, including a buddy who now regrets not holding out for the zr
All in all, the phone has been one of my best purchases in a long long time and I would definitely recommend it to anyone on the fence even over the xperia z and the s4.

No doubt the ZR. You should be asking yourself if you really need that 2 extra cores and water proofing, at the cost of battery life. The Xperia SP beats last year flagships easily, so it really isn't that weak.

Its depends on you bro. I think ZR will be around 31000 or 30500 Rupees. You have to spend extra 6000 more for ZR by comparing SP. If u have that much amount means no doubt... Go for ZR... Other wise SP..
And for ZR the Front Camera is VGA. And the battery will be more drain comparing with SP...
I would go for the sp if you dont care about the waterproof.

Thx for the comments bros u gave me a huge help n i will get the zr when he's gonna be launched n see how he's perform

I would go the SP.
ZR being a Quad core will consume more battery.
I am a ZL owner.
It has a 1080p display, quad core etc, you end up charging it at the end of day.
With SP its the same battery size as ZL but 720p display, dual core.
If you are not specs hungry, I'd say go for the SP.
There will be a negligible difference in performance but a noticeable different in battery life.
If the price difference is small, then ZR.
The question is how much more is it worth being waterproof, 1GB extra RAM, 2 extra cores (still the same old CPU as in Nexus 4).
Now, if Sony would put a Snapdragon 600 on ZR, keep the resolution 720p, put a high quality IPS display, then this phone would be a star. I guess that would also cast a shadow on Z...
Bottom line is ZR is in a different price group, so SP remains the best performing phone in this price range among the large manufacturers.

For few more bucks i think the ZR will give much more then the SP
N the s600 n the s4 pro give pretty
Same results, and dont forget man im upgrading from a neo v(fuc*** piece of shi*) so i think it's going to be a big changing..

if you use your phone more than your computer, you definitely want a good battery life, go with SP
Dual and Quad core not so big difference, but the 1 vs 2 gb of Ram might depending upon how many apps you have opened at the same time
Also, for the price you can get 2 SPs for the price of one ZR.
Got my zr, delivered, last evening, so far so good, battery is removable, thank god for that, sound, speed, looks, 1st impressions are great, have ditched my s3 for this one as this one's smaller than s3, and has more ram, hope I'm right.

Hello xda members.
It's time for me to change my xperia U. I was thinking to buy xperia T or xperia SP.
Which device do you think it's better? Xperia sp has adreno 320 and 1,7 ghz dual core s4 pro.
Is xperia t a good device? Everything works fine on jb?
Thank you

Here is the difference between Xperia TX and Xperia SP
Xperia T - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Xperia SP
(1. No LTE) ( 1. Has LTE)
(2.Bravia Engine 1) (2.Bravia Engine 2)
(3. Internal Memory 16 GB) (3. Internal Memory 8 GB)
(4.Bluetooth 3.1) (4. Bluetooth 4.0)
(5.Camera 13 MP) (5. Camera 8 MP)
Definitely SP's performance is better cuz it has more powerful processor and better GPU and higher Battery. So if you are gamer choose SP. But if want to take good picture and also gaming choose Xperia T.
I'm using Xperia TX,(same as Xperia T) It's very stylish and good looking rather then SP. But Xperia TX also has a removable battery but T and SP not, so that's a good plus point. So if considered overall Xperia TX is the winner.
I played many HD games in my TX and all of them are ran very smoothly. So i'm happy with my Xperia TX. So my opinion is performance wise SP is better. But overall Xperia TX is best. Still choice is yours :cyclops:
I hope you will find ur desired mobile :good:
@irfan_omi22 Thanks mate
I don't care about BE as it can be ported. The only thing i worry about is the performance. SP costs 100 euros more and don't want to spend all this money, that's why i asked if the T's performance is good enough. As about games the only game i play is NFS and some fps. Ok, i think the best choice is T.
Just a note, I've seen that the adreno 320 devices have higher resolution textures in high-end games compared to the T/V.
Tapatalked from my Xperia V
SP has a way bigger battery, xperia t will get you through the day if you're a medium user but not if you're a heavy user. So, if battery is important to you I think you should go for the SP. Also I like the aluminium design of the SP. I wish I could trade my T for a SP.

Small correction there: The T would get you through a day with heavy usage and about 2 days with low usage. Also SP has the sexy LED strip!
Also BE2 ports? I don't really trust they work. At least I havent found a working port for mine.

Via pimp my rom i can integrate bravia engine 2. I don't link led bad to be honest mate. I personally don't find it useful for xperia u. I don't use it at all even for notifications.
The only thing that i am worry about is the adreno 225 to be honest. It's the only reason i am not sure if worth buying it.

Gaming is not something I do often but I have tried some games such as Anomaly HD, Gun Strike, Razor Salvation, Tentacle Wars and CS Portable. I have not experienced any kind of lag. As for phone calls, occasionally the dialer does lag a bit when making calls (especially T9 dialer) and annoys me, but that maybe because I have well over 200 apps and installed and many of them have running processes. If you're talking about calls during games, there is no problem. Incoming calls are fine.
About Bravia, there is no real proof that it works (even with those who claim it works) so it might just be two lines on your build.prop and a couple useless of extra files in your system
Or you can wait for the coming up Phablet,Xperia ZU (Togari) :laugh:

o...i stay in Malaysia and here only sell Xperia TX,T no.
It seems that SP has a different CPU(series) from others(T,TX,Z etc).So maybe FXP/CM support will not be easy,but I can't be sure of it...
To be honest bro, I don't use cm10 even if its a great rom. I used it on my Xperia u but didn't like it because of the camera.
I found sp on almost same price with Xperia t so I think I'll buy the sp.
Hi guys

The ZR's better than the SP for your usage. The only advantage the SP has is it's design, and while the notification LED is really good, it just can't match the convenience of waterproofing.
Me too from Chennai Boss...
Go for ZR if u have budget...
ZR is best... Enjoy pannu Thala
Regarding SP i dont find any problem yet.. 1 GB RAM is enough for next two years.. And SP will support future updates from SONY... And one main important thing is SP battery will long last than ZR. Because ZR is the same battery as SP. But due to quad core and 2GB ram battery will drain fast comparing to SP... But i preffer ZR if u have budget...

If water proofing is not an issue(the flaps wear out anyways) I think you should seriously consider zl. It has bigger display with a rather small profile and has an ir blaster as well. Price wise nearly the same with zr.

ZR has a quad core too, the SP has a dual core.
Personally, I don't care about the waterproofing. Having all the ports covered is annoying and the loud speakers sound muffled. If you really need the extra performance go for the ZR. I suggest going to a retailer and try holding both phones in your hands to see which looks and feels better to you.

Performance is awsom machi... No lag.. I am a hardcore gamer. I did not find any lag in any HD games.. And i am also full time with ma SP
I had tough time with Real Racing 3 till my phone was not rooted. the game used to crash after 1 or at the most 2 races. I learned to root just so that I can play RR3 . Uninstalled lots of bloatware & installed Greenify. Now it easily last for 5-10 races depending on how hot the phone has become from gaming.
Using phone since 7 months and till date there is no problem Of hanging or lag in the xperia SP and I m using 16gb micsosd and phone is having 9.5gb Of apps also
It has mind blowing performance.

It depends on your need. Choose ZR for water friendly, choose SP for saving money

I had this dilemma too, in the end I went with SP because in my country, ZR is about 35-50% more expensive than SP. If money was non-issue, I'd go with ZR for sure.
Guys Finally I bought Xperia Z...:laugh::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Im very happy to hold the master-peice
SP or ZR?
Zr if you can afford it,
it has 2GB Ram (great for future games which are going to gobble ram like theres no tommorow and MUltitaking)
and it's Quad Core (again hopefully games in the future will become optimised enough to use all 4 cores effectively)

Hi guys.. right now I am about to buy a new phone... SP comes into my consideration and i find it pretty cool and powerful.. Though.. yesterday I found out that there is also P6 in the offer... What would you recommend ? I am probably going for the SP, but P6 has got 4 cores. Does it make that much of a difference ?
Personally i dont know anything about P6. So my recommendation is SP. Go For SP.. But while purchasing pls check one main thing in SP. Touch problem while Charging. U cant use ur phone while Charging.. But new phones doesnot have that problem i think. Any way make sure at the first day of the Purchase...
And also put ur phone in a flat surface and then use it.. That also a famous SP problem.. So pls check both of this two problems first..

galaxy s3 has 4 cores and in benchmark the SP is much better then S3 with 4 cores. Also Xperia sp has 4g (LTE) better battery and Andreno 320 GPU also is best gpu 4 playing games... i think xperia sp is the right choice..
Sorry for english (not my native language)
Its not the ammount of cores that tells you if the performance is high or not. It is the overall feeling of a device.
I've tested both the SP and P6 and I find the SP more suiteble for me.
Reason:
- UI: I dont like the UI of huawei
- GPU: Adreno 320 is very powerfull
- CPU: Cores and speed dont tell everything
Things the SP has:
-Notificatio ledbar
- Bluetooth 4.0
- 4G (LTE)
- NFC
Things the P6 has:
- Wireless charging
- 2GB RAM
Go to the website of sony and huawei and compare the features and specs. Dont use comparison websites because not all the websites have the correct specs.
Also go to a store and try both phones
Has P6 a HDR Camera?

Yes but the SP too
The SP's 2 cores have a higher clock speed and the chipset in general has a superior manufacturer.
Don't think the P6 has 4G either.
The extra RAM on the P6 is useful though - 1 GB of RAM is OK, but Sony steal quite a lot of it for system resources - 2GB means you'd have to be doing insane amounts of multi tasking to ever worry about it.
I suspect there will be much more development on the SP, if you're into custom ROMS.
My reasons for chosing the SP were 4G and familiarity (I like using custom ROMS, know how Sony do things and am used to all the flashing tools etc.) - I also like the fact that not many people have the SP.
please see test of P6! the touchscreen response is very poor, however, the touch screen of the SP responds only in a few situations even bad. mostly is nice.
Thanks guys I am going for the SP... i am sure i wont regret ...thread can be closed
The screen of sp is horrible

1. alright so my antutu score is 23400
2. the screen is quite pleasant even in the sun so id rate it at a 7-8 viewing angles dont matter much since im always in front of the phone not lying down beside it
3. I havent experienced any problems with the xperia sp
4. i would re pick the sp because at the time there was nothing better up till recently i havent seen anything to match it
5. the sp is one of the best phones for gaming because it has the same gpu as most 2013 flagships minus the 1080p display hence it has a very high frame rate, it has one of the highest frame rates for any phone something around 49 fps

thats an incredible device , i never expected a mid-range phone from sony could beat most of 2012 - 2013 flagships. thats just unbeliveable , so whats the contrast of these antutu scores? its gained by the update to 4.3 or its a special version of phone?

what do you think about those low scores from SP? are there diffrent types of xperia sp? :-/

Different types with lte or not, but the firmware, kernel and tweaks are special for the score.

In AnTuTu X my score is 34217
the SP is a monster for a midranger, it even beats some flagships of the same time, Nexus 4, S3, Xperia Z, all thanks to that gpu and fast 1.7 ghz processor, in vellamo it beat out the note 3 and z ultra
yea it sounds great , if the screen was better ,i wont doubt to choose sp , but 4.6 is small for me (plus in screen navigation-bar which reduces acuall size), my main perpose is not performance , i think output is more important than performance cause you get a device to make use of it & we should attention to this harmony , so i prefer to get sth with better screen & ips panel(ips is very important)
but "MAYBE" i choose this device if the tft screen was good enough in first look

With 4.1.2 is a great choice, very competitive price on internet than other top product! But with 4.3 is a bad buy

1gb but 4.3 screwed it up i only have like 250 mb avail, with 4.1.2 i had 600+
Buy ZR instead. It's only a little more expensive.
SP is a good phone. But 4.3 seems buggy.
IMHO...
For SP, I think it's a good choice (even for movies and games) for the budget conscious
I stayed away from 4.3 and after trying customised rom, is back with 254, rooted.
Whatever niceties I need - a launcher should help, without the problems associated with 4.3, and without much drain on the system

Benchmarks do not say anything about the real feel and performance of a device. To me it is important that a device feels quick and stable and this in combination with the low price did it for me. However some more details and other stories can be read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561829
i am planning to buy a new xperia SP but the fact that sony stopped manufacturing the device made me stop right there. it is of the same price as the xperia C but it has worse specs except for the quadcore processor. i am basically a gamer guy and i dont like the samsung's shi*ty touchwiz UI. i am completely comfortable with rooting and development but not rich enough o get a high end device every year. every help will me appreciated.

no, find some better alternatives.
If you only want a phone that runs games perfectly then you can buy this phone.It has a powerful processor and gpu and is capable of running high end games.It also features a large battery so you can get good battery life as well.

around 11,000 rupees(approx 185$) i visited sony showroom and they said i can get a new only if someone have it in their stock. but i dont think buying it brand new after the productoin has been long stopped is a good idea. specs wise the phone seems promising. a little modification in the os will turn the beast out of it.

i am basically a gamer guy. i currently own xperia x10 and with right improvements in the system, i can run modern combat 4 almost flawless(apart from phone's bad multitouch) i am not rich enough to get the xperia z and i don't wanna go for chinese phones either.
since in india 4g launched recently,i assume we will have the non LTE version (C5302). is that gonna be written on the about phone screen?
