Hey guys I'm about for a buying new phone!
Only I just can't decide whether I should take Z(probably ZL) or Xperia T.
Of course Z(L) is better but I just wanted to ask is it a too big phone for you.
(I currently have only 3.5inch Xperia Miro)

Z is big. But you get used to it. I have no troubles handling it.
T feels chunkier.
Thanks but no not that...I have no troubles handling 10.1inch tablet xD
Does Z fit in your pocket? Can you take it every day to school or so... Can you take it when you go for a walk?
PS: I don't take purse or something with me.

I mean is not that big to carry a separate bag with you.
I always wear jeans, slim fit jeans, and chinos. Never had trouble fitting my phone in my left side pocket. It doesn't bother when walking.
Yup, I usually take my phone in my back pocket. And wear jeans.
I think I am even going for the smaller ZL or T.
Official Sony site:
ZL - 131.6 x 69.3 x 9.8 mm
T - 129.4 x 67.3 x 9.35-10.45 mm
Wow not so big difference. I suppose the bezel can't be too small, right?

I broke the screen of one of my phones when wearing it in the back pocket and I told to myself never again.

That's why I said the T feels chunkier. Even though is almost half inch smaller, it has quite a footprint. And I don't like the design of the T at all. I've had had all the flagships since the X10, but I skipped the T.

Good advice! Now I see that T is just a 2mm shorter and slimmer.
If I have money I will go with ZL thank you.
But I would love to see more opinions on this.

Actually I saw T in the store and one of my friends have it. I like T. Really good phone to me. Like even the design. But I agree if you already have S why upgrade.
I saw also Z, but I never saw ZL. That's why I am asking. And it is hard to see from the store (Z) thought I would ask somebody here who already has it.
I really don't understand people, I came from the Galaxy Note N7000, which is bigger then the Xperia Z and even that fit without too many problems in my jeans pocket. People are to scared of the size when they see it, but once you've tried it you'll see that it's not that bad at all. Since the Galaxy Note fit in my jeans pocket without to many problems I won't even have to answer whether the XZ is to big or not.

Its perfect size tbh and I was coming from a 4s The size really isn't that big once you start using it you would start to think how did you live with such a small screen beforehand. It fits perfectly fine in my pocket so no problems here

The xperia z size is fine it actually early fits in to pockets never an issue.

No negative comments so far. Great!
PS: I am limited to 8 thanks per day, sorry I can't say thanks anymore xD
After saying for a long time that 5" is too big for a "mobile" Phone and selling my Arc so I could buy the Ray because I craved the compactness, I was going to wait to see what else Sony could come up with in terms of compact power and size (still hoping for a "Mini Z"), but the Z is just so beautiful I had to get one. For the first week of use I contemplated sending it back, the difference between the Ray and the Z in the hand should be obvious to anyone, but I'm so glad I've stuck with it because now the transition period is over it now feels normal to hold and use.
5" is the absolute cut off for a mobile Phone though, anything bigger is in Tablet realms.
Bro dont worry you will adapt when i used to have galaxy spica 3.2" screen i bought xperia arc 4.2" phone it was too huge then i got htc one x 4.7" again was feeling uncomfortable then i bought note 2 which too felt uncomfortable intially but after one week they felt as if they are just perfect and z due to its design is second best device i ever used 1st always the one X due to its feel and sleeky design. Now when i hold one x i feel like i have a baby phone lol so just take it out of your mind and go forit initially it will take time but it will grow on you

You are coming from 3.5inch lol before i buy Z i had k750i for like 5,6 years and for one week i get used to it.When i look my old phone i see small mini toy xD

I have about three pounds of dust accumulating on my Galaxy S3 in the gap between the casing and the glass. I see the LG Nexus 4 also has a similar gap. As do most devices, really, but this Sammy is sure a dust magnet. Here's hoping the LG will NOT be like the Samsung in that regard.

I think you're talking about something a bit different. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that matt310 was referencing the gap between the front glass and the side edging on the outside of the device.

That's how I read it, too; frankly, I think it would be pretty hard from any of the N4 release photos that would reveal distance between the display & glass.

First use of Zerogap Touch for Real Touch
It’s nice to be part of a conglomerate. Working with its vertically-integrated sister companies, LG incorporated the industry-first Zerogap Touch technology into the Optimus G.
As the first smartphone with the Zerogap Touch, the Optimus G boasts a cover glass that’s different from typical touch screen cover glass. While the others are typically topped with ITO film or a glass sensor, the Zerogap Touch has an ITO sensor film printed directly on the glass, removing the air gap that is normally trapped between the two elements.

Wait, you exhibit poor reading skills yourself, then chide another for the same? It wasn't nonsense at all, clearly on-topic. Nobody can stay abreast of the latest at this neck-breaking pace.
That said, this phone will have at least one less area in which dust can congregate. Yay!
Hmmm I just don't understand the glass back design...? Everybody have laughed at the iPhone 4 and 4s design which broke almost just by looking at it - or at least when dropped from little height. And now Google - as I see it - makes the same mistake!
Beautiful yes! Wise NO! ( or what do you think?)

The difference is the plastic has a lip over the glass so if you were to drop the phone on it's corner The glass itself wouldn't make contact. However I could be misinformed.
It'll be interesting to see drop tests of this device, though. I do love drop tests.
EDIT: I must agree with you, though. The glass back wasn't very wise... :/
That's a good deal bro. imo you should return your GNII and buy the N4 first. Then wait the the 3G/4G version of N10. It will be better thought.
Glass back doesn't bother me. I just won't drop the phone

Since there are no forum for V yet and T is the closes thing I post this here. Mods are free to move it if they don't want this post here.
Just got my Xperia V a couple of hours ago and for the short time I've tries it I must say that I like what I got.
It's fast, great screen, feels light and fits my hands perfectly since i have quite big hands. But ppl with small hands might think it's a little big.
The only thing I miss from my old P is the camera button but I can live with that. Will report more later on when I've had the chance to go over it a bit more since 5h isnt enough to give a good review.

It's fast, good bulid quality, great screen, fits good in my hands, all in all a really good phone. It's a little bit to soon to say something about batterylife but it looks quite good for the time being.
I've not used the camera that much so cant say to much about overall performance of it but Sony normally makes good cameras so I think this one will shot some nice pics aswell.

Nice one, does anyone know how to port the notification toggles from the V to the Xperia T? I've been waiting to do this. They look really good, i believe bravia engine 2 is already ported.
Just like everyone else, I'm patiently waiting for the mailman to ring my doorbell. Not only for the cases and screen protectors ive purchased, but most importantly for the Nexus 5 I've ordered!

Does it feel a lot thinner then the N4? My wife has an HTC One and I love the thinness of that device. My N4 feels like a brick next to it. Do you notice much difference when holding the N4 and N5?
Also, how is Kit-Kat. Dies it feel like much of the same? What about screen size? On a 4.7" screen the nav bottons feel like they take up way to much room. On a 5" screen, do you now feel like there is plenty of screen real estate to do what you want to do?
And last for now, how does the screen quality compare to the N4 or any other top of the line phone out now?
Thank for any responses....

Doesn't feel any thinner to personally, When I lay the N5 flat next to the N4 is actually pretty level due to the camera hump.
Kit-Kat is smooth and really responsive, the translucent Status and Nav bar is a great touch imo.
The screen real estate is ok for me, especially considering this is about as big as my hand can support with one handed use. I'm sure as soon as custom roms start coming along we will be able to utilise PIE controls again.
In terms of Screen quality it's really sharp but the colours appear to be slightly washed out but once again I'm sure custom kernels will remedy this.
after some time please share battery life impressions.. !!!

That sucks about the size! So no wow factor with the screen. I love the HTC One screen so was hoping the N5 would be just as good or better.

How does the battery drain look so far? How much screen time on do you have right now -- and how much battery is left?
Can you tell us about the notification LED? Does it work out of the box or do you need to install a 3rd party app?
Thanks!
Has anyone seen any unboxing videos yet? That's my pre-order porn man.

Worked out of the box.
Works fine with lightflow and It's super bright as well!
It's actually better than the LED on the N4
Just posting a farewell thread folks, ordered a white Nexus 5 32gb 399.99 from Google Play on Friday it got here today, Monday. I activated it over the phone with Sprint in under 5 minutes and threw the sim card from HTC one into the Nexus 5. Boom, instantly works beautifully. I am getting LTE so much more then I got with the HTC one I am barely ever on 3g anymore! Also everyone used to complain to me about call quality on the One, this problem is now gone no one complains anymore. The only thing I miss are the speakers, everything else is better in every way. I use a portable 30 ish dollar bluetooth speaker every once and a while when I care enough to grab it. Snapdragon 800 is amazing and the 8mp camera is better then htc 4mp "ultrapixel" bogus. The HTC one was nice for a while but this phone is an upgrade for me. Going to go sell my HTC one on craigslist or ebay for 350 now. Goodbye everyone! try to enjoy your htc ones!

Try to enjoy our ones? You sound like you're on Samsung's jock. I love my One. I acknowledge the camera issues but its smooth, sounds great and it has the UI of any android phone.
Bye

Wouldn't it be LG's jock that he's on?
Yeah, the cam is not as nice as it has been pimped. What phone hasn't had this exact problem? My N4, LGOG and ONE all were like this.....try to say that the N5's camera is soooo much better and I will say

Lol. Why are you posting a farewell? Honestly, unless you're a developer, I doubt anyone really cares... I switched to the Nexus 5 as well, and agree with you on pretty much everything. I just don't see a reason to tell everyone about it because I don't develop or theme or anything so it hardly matters. I'm still keeping my One anyway, just in case...

Its like were supposed to get upset and beg for him to stay with the One or something.
Dear nobody,
Everyone, including your own mother, couldn't possibly care any less than we do.
Your friends,
No one is your friend.
P.S. If you hasn't of said anything no one would have notice that you left. Now we just don't like you, so was it worth it?

My son writes like that. He's 7. He is learning to use punctuation, and grammar as we converse (not to mention the space bar). Game away

【GUIDE】 How to make ANY PHONE Waterproof / NO CASE / NO NANOCOATING / VERY LOW PRICÉ
Hello, everyone.
Now, i'm going to tell you, how to make ANY Phone / Tablet / Device water-resistant and Dustproof and also a Little bit Scratch/Damageproof/resistant.
Please read the Advices before trying this at home‼
No Nanocoating
No Case
Not Waterproof from beginning on
No Haox.
READ BEFORE DOING:
I don't want to say that because saying that súcks:
I don't take any responsibility for any kind of damage on your device.
You can tell me, if your device took damage and how/why but don#t blame me because of that!
You just need one small thing for that:

Téser :laugh:
It costs very cheap and will work.
I did that with a Galaxy Pocket, Star and a Young 2 (the Young 2 died in 50 Seconds because of a big lack. )
You just need to stick it overall on the phone (Speaker, Charger Port, SD Card Slot and Cover and overall where Water goes in first.)
So good so far?
Then you glue all free places and push overall to avoid lacks where water can go in. The more Glue, the less lacks.
Did you get it?
It also makes less sense to Put Glue ON Glue because there will be less patches for lacks. Always Glue there, where many Glue Tapes Cross each other. That makes bigger sense to close more lacks.
This will only make your phone TEMPORARlY Water-Resistant. Don't overestimate it.
If you use more Glue, there will be less lacks / more waterproofitý.
WARNINGS:
If the Order of apps in the Menu Changes, Turn your phone off and stop exposing it to water
Don't blame me if you make a mistake yourself
If the Touchscreen's Reaction get's Worse, also switch your phone off!
And also stop, if bubbles come out of the phone.
If a bubble comes out, there's possibly a lack, where water is entering...
If the Internet/WiFi/Network/3G/4GLTÉ Connection gets unusually weak, pull the Phone out of the Water and Turn it off.
Also stop, if the phone behaves like unusually.
First try with an old and useless phone!
Saying this sucks, but i take no response for any damage.

2 Hours of Shower
I took the Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300) 2 Hours with to the Shower (yes, i know 2 hours is very long but because it was so exciting :laugh nothing happened
And then i took the Galaxy Star (GT-S5280) into the Swimming Pool.
I went very deep underwater with the phone.
I also took some recordings (uploading/attaching comes later on ) and also nothing happened. (Water Temperature 27°C)
But i did put the Ýoung 2 into a pot, filled with Water (about 16ºC).
Because i was sooo exited, i did not recognize bubbles going in.
The Phone Stopped Recording Video (CameraMX)
The Touchscreen Stopped working.
2 Minutes later the Touchscreen started working again.
And then about 30 Seconds later the Screen Started Flickering... :angel:
But i managed to repair the phone :laugh:

Possibly, i let a lack on the Young 2.
That happens, when you don't stick the Glǔe Properlý
But nothing happened to the both other phones

Ok, i'm pleased to hear that but please be careful anyway.
GUARANTEE LOSS Advice
Please stick Glue on the Indicators and over the Battery and also all the holes in the interieour of the Phone (if the Battery is Replacable), to make the phone more Water-Resistant and to AVOID GUARANTEE LOSS‼
This was such a good idea that I decided to do this not only to my phone but every electronic device in my home. And my car. I can't get in it now, but who cares?! IT'S WATERPROOF!
Wow... Amazing... I dropped my phone in the toilet and inadvertently flushed it!! I immediately went outside to the manhole, opened the cover and made my way down. What do I find among my dung? My phone!! And it survived!! Thank you soooo much you saved my life!

Looooooooooool rofl :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
In all seriousness though, I hope your intentions were satirical, @Hannah Stern.
If you want a waterproof phone, buy a waterproof phone, please, for humanity's sake.
Did my whole house.
It worked with a very old xperia arc!!! It's now my brother's phone to use on the pool and get underwater pics
I made it with a wide tape (kind of the same used for sealing boxes, but totally transparent), with only one layer of tape, so it doesn't get too bulky or obstruct camera lens. Then I applied glue with a small paintbrush in all the parts where tape overslapped (the glue was "boxer" or "matilda's super super glue" alike) and let it dry for 3 minutes, then applied again.
It works like a charm!!! No signs of water entering the phone even after 2 hours of pool time. The only downside is that you can't use headphones and everytime you charge the phone, you have to replace the tape that covers the usb port and apply the glue again, but in return you can get a waterproof phone at a very low cost!!!
Oviously, do this only with an old phone that is not your daily driver anymore, and that you do not care too much if it dies....
Thanks Hannah!!!
I just done it in my Kyocera Brigadier with hardened case and now my phone is over IP9000 certified bottom of the ocean-proof, explosion-proof that Micheal Bay cant make it go BOOM ), lava-proof, nokia-proof and also turn into a weapon when zombies strike )) *just kidding*
Thanks Hannah, now my M8 can swim ))
