I have xperia z and i love it. I always swim with it on the beach. Even dive about 24ft on the beach while filming. No problem.
Its just the battery and the speakrrs for me after being wet get so weak. But everything else is good.
I just want to know anyone have try the s4 active and is it better? Thanksd.
I have it for about 5 months now.

Swimming with XZ, man you are asking youself a trubble If the salt water gets inside you can expect your phone to die soon.
Once I had a sammsung. I probably wouldn't go near them again that oversaturated, kid looking screen is just not my cup of tea.

No man, all people saying that is bull.
Ita just all my waterproof phone moto defy, xperia active, xperia z been using them in salt water with no problem.
Just dont let the any water salt/fresh inside the phone then its all good.
And i dont care about amolet or not because its just a wate of time to argue all i want is that my screen is usable.
Im just afraid that the samsung active have a small rubber seal. Not like in xz all the port have big ass seal.

Both has the same ip7 so my guess is the same. From pocketnow review of s4 active, the screen of the active can't be used when it is wet while the z can. I mean Wet, not when submerged. For the speaker I'm not sure. Cause I don't have the s4 active hehe.

Active uses an Lcd screen, not amoled. So I guess it's not oversaturated like those amoleds One?

Z's screen isn't any better. Tft too. To me, looking from YouTube reviews of z vs active, the active looks brighter and it looks better than the z. Maybe its just me. Hehe. And one advantage of the active is the flapless audio jack but I'll never trade the beautiful xperia z just for that.

TFT on the active vs the amolad screen on the S4 that's what I ment. The active is waterproof but specs wise the active isn't as good as the S4 and yes the flaps can be annoying but we'll I think so that the z looks better then the active. The Z actually has better specs then the active. In some areas.

I'm comparing the active with the z lol. The s4 isn't mentioned in op. Overall I think the active is better but I'm not really bothered with that. I'm happy with the z and I'll just wait for my contract to finish and see what's good in the future to replace the z.

Processor if it does make a difference which I believe does.Battery cause im a heavy user. The screen which looks better imo(from video review, not seen it myself) . Advertisement of it to actually be used to take photos under water. That's all I like. But I won't buy it.

U can take fine pictures and videos underwater with the xperia z. It always works for me just fine. And I agree I am a sucker for removable batteries. I do think the active is not a very good looking phone. Imo.

Yes I agree. Then some ppl will come in and say don't you read the manual? You can't bring in to the pool blah blah. The water resistance is just for accidents. Just because you have an airbag doesn't mean you go crash your car lol. I guess it's just to each of his own on how one wants to use it but not blaming Sony / anyone if it damages your phone.

Guys i already got the active.
Screen
And damn the screen is so better! Way better than my z
I dont care if its amoled or not. As long it is usable in light i dont care realy.
Battery
The active is longer but not much (on my use)
But hate the active for not having a dock or wireless charging. Im scared the flap might get thorn in time.
Build
Z is better. Because the back of active is very scary, i mean when putting it under water i get much more confident in my z. But the build quality is better than s4
Camera
The z of course.
Other thing i notice or my personal preferences
Gps lock better on active
Active is faster on daily basis but not much
And the speaker after getting wet is still very loud not like the z.
Im using my main phone is galaxy note 2
And my secondary phone i think ill be using active because of the battery.
But when im goint to the beach for vacation ill be using the z.
All i can say is that you canot go wrong with both phones.
Lets not hate active or z. Remeber its just a phone guys.

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.

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 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.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
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.

'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.

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 ..

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
