[Q] New Nexus 4 or used Xperia Z? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.
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

Thanks in advance.

I would like to tell you that no sony phone other than Xperia Z and ZL with a smaller screen sports a full hd screen. However there are several devices having a resolution with 720x1280.

There are rumours of one. Should be a 4.6" with full HD. But it's a rumor at best.
Edit: I can't find the source anymore.

I think you are talking about xperia sp but that device is not full hd

Nope. Not the SP. This one was supposed to be part of the Z series. There's already a rumor about an Xperia ZR.. But that's 720p.

Which better

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

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.

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5421&idPhone2=5204 - Here is your answer. :highfive:
For me ZR is better + compact.
I would say the ZR is better. The specs are nearly identical but the ZR has better battery life and is more compact which is what's important to me. The only thing that would make the Z better than the ZR for some people is the screen size, but i just don't want a phone with a 5inch screen.
For me, ZR is:
*Perfect in Size
*removable battery
*the camera result better than Z (in my opinion)
*better contrast (in my opinion too)
What i dont like in Z :
*5inch is too big for me
*too much issue (i've seen so much report from Z user in forum like Screen Cracking it self, Overheating, etc)
*Non-Removable Battery+Drain so fast

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

Oh don't get me wrong, Sony have done a much better job with it than the likes of Samsung and HTC who have butchered it!

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
