I would want your opinion. Is it worth it to switch from Note 1 to Xperia ZL?
I find my Note has really slowed down since the JB update. Also the battery is really draining fast. I wanted to switch to a newer phone but S4 is really expensive as of now.
Can you also recommend anything? What about Note 2, or S3?
Thanks!

Just go with xperia ZL. And if you can somehow get to it, try the htc one. One is the first phone I tried that does not have any trace of lag whatsoever, beautiful finish, nice enough camera. As for the xperia Z and ZL, I only tested the Z and it's pretty nice but it requires a custom rom immediately :laugh:
Thanks for the info. As for the HTC One, that phone is too expensive here in my country. S4 is even cheaper than the One. I would like to just root the phone and maintain the stock rom.
Because I have been reading reviews of the Xperia ZL. I can live with the issues in viewing angles but not the poor performance of the camera. Given that Sony should be good with cameras.
Thanks.

Cheap solution-get new battery and put nice custom jb rom.
Then you can patiently wait for price s4 / htc one to drop :fingers-crossed:

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

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..

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, water resistant
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.

Hello everyone
I have a question
Which is better
Note2 or xperia z
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
'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

This thread should be closed.
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.

waste of money and a minor performance bost/upgrade to S5's 801 Snapdragon processor.
stick with the Z1, until at least the 805 processor based phones come out and you have a significant upgrade.

hi i was the same got rid of my s4 for z1, but i am sick of having to keep buying new devices every 4-6 months, just wait abit longer, z1 is not a bad phone, but the magic of sammy is calling lol, good luck with your decission, regards joe,
Despite the fact that it's really not an upgrade to go to S5, Samsung looks like sh1t compared to Z1 Z1 is a classy phone that looks good even if you're a businessman. S5 is a phone for people who just care about performance, that's my opinion.

..with a good Rooted Rom and Custom kernel you can Pimp your Phone and customize RGB and Withe Balance and 60% of bad angles you get rid of it.
If only I could find a phone with a decent 180 degree viewing angle......

You do NOT need to unlock the bootloader to gain root.
You do not void your warranty as rooting is a two way process
Also, as for guides...please search there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of posts explaining how to do it. (I myself write it about 4 times a day, so one more wont hurt)
1) Flash a FTF ending in 534 for your phone (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in the general section)
2) Instal Dual Recovery (Find files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)
3) Flash a 757 pre-rooted ROM of your choice (Find them in the development section)
Done
Thanks a lot,
One more thing I don't like In sony devices their software never bug free and launcher not so smooth/tweaked, wallpaper scrolling like less fps, touchscreen start miss after 2 days, I restart my phone then touch screen runs fine for more 2 days..
These Things Sony always fail to provide better software, waited 2 years but still sony behaves like noob,
Hardware wise like camera sound no doubt, it's nice. But software always buggy.

s5 is a bit better in performance but seems quite few that u cant feel the difference
z1 got a better camera and more stylish in my opinion
also the sony audio effects (u might be able to flash them on samsung anyway)
Z1 is a good phone, and if you like it, then don't upgrade to a new phone and wait till there is a phone you really want.
Guys is the touch screen dsync issue normal? I get it very slight, after 2 days I need to restart my phone to fix it, then it works fine.. Touch screen dsync issue is always happens it happens very less, mostly after 2 days of restart..
Is that normal?
