I'm curious about this as I'd prefer to get the TX with its removable battery. Do any devs have the TX or have intentions of getting one?

In theory the differences are very, very small. Once you get the hang of it you should be able to do it for every ROM with relative ease.
As to who has the TX - I don't know. Most European developers will have a T since that's the only version available in Europe. In Asia most will own a TX since (again) that's the only one available there.
I just wanted your opinion
Would it be worth switchjng from a xperia s to z? I mean the XS is a great phone but XZ is just sooo awesome!

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

I'm moving from Xperia T to Z, lol, I've had this phone for like four months and I'm selling already!
I was debating on getting the Z. Then I start seeing articles on leaked upcoming sonny phones comming this summer. One of the phones, the UL "gaga" is said to be a 5" hd screen in a zl like design with water and dust proof. Also with a upgraded snapdragon 600, so now I have to put my plans on hold. Anyone else have any info on this upcoming UL device, I allways though if only aony had combined both the zl and z best of both and I guess they are doing this.

There will be at least 10 sony phones this year,so don't wait too much.

Then in the summer you will be waiting for the Q3 Xperia R...Then in Q3 there will be a rumour Xperia ZX, Then in Q1 a rumoured K then a rumoured...you get the idea. (just thru letters in off the top of my head...probably what sony does anyway lol)
Yea I know but atleast if there was only one 5" this year would be alot better.

Gaga is for Japanese market?
This has been said on esato.com forums

Remember how Greenheart was considered japan only too when those phones were in the rumor mill? Specially Naite, but they all were internationally available soon after Japan release. :cyclops:
Rumour has it they'll make an update to the Z, what the One X+ was to the One X, it'll have triluminous technology iirc, and other stuff.
is it after lady gaga? lol if so no thanks.
Don't bother. It's not for Global market. Only for AU KDDI Japan.
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?

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

people what do you think of the new Android L?
do you think we will be able to the run the dev-preview on our Z ahead of time?
have you seen that the aosp build in the presentation got a battery saver mode?
basically i could post a lot of questions but what i really wanna know is your opinion and your ideas about it. btw do you guys think as this will be a major release that we will get it from sony as well?
here is one of the sources i read about:
http://www.gsmarena.com/google_announces_andriod_l_developer_preview-news-8864.php
and of course our portal
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/a-closer-look-at-the-user-interface-changes-in-android-l/
If Sony wants to to remove the "Sony doesn't update old devices " tag they have, they need to update the original Z line (Z, ZL, ZR and Tablet Z) to it. But, as off now, no news regarding Nexus 4, which has the same processor as ours. Let's wait until Sony give us a pronouncement regarding that...

Don't expect much, the Z already got 2 updates. 4.3 and 4.4. Sony thinks their job is done now. We could just run an AOSP build once they're running.

Except for us with the Unlockable Bootloader. =/
We received 3 Android upgrades actually.
The phone shipped with 4.1.2, then we got 4.2.2, 4.3 and now 4.4.2. ?
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
If Sony would support our Z for the 18 months, there is a possibility that we might get it.
They really need to get rid of their "bad" image regarding updates.
Doesn't matter either way, would be nice to run it, but the fact is some of the benefits won't be there for our hardware, and most of us will be due a new phone by then.

HTC says they will bring it to HTC one m7.......

anyone able to get the hardware requirements? @kingvortex i know it's great, it's my first flagship device i am really happy with all the updates and roms and developers and stuff.
so you guys definitely think we will be able to run android L with or without sony?
Without, I'm sure. With Sony? Maybe not so fast. System Requirements, weren't even mentioned. But it will be running on phones cheaper than the Moto E, which is already extremely cheap by itself, so I think the Xperia Z (and brothers) will handle it just fine.

Yeah, but the problem with AOSP is bad Google camera (no Sony camera ported yet) and no FM radio
Kexec is very close to complete functionality for the Z1. This will enable unlockable Xperias to run any custom kernels
This is the thread on Kexec if you're interested in keeping up with development. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495152

Android L is said to come to Xperia Z officially.. Probably the last update.. But i think its a major upgrade in terms of UI.. Its already known that Android L's UI includes a lot of Sony APIs and CM APIs.. With LG also working along, i think it will be very good.. And 4.4.2 was a initial major upgrade from Jelly Bean fw's.. And things got well in 4.4.3.. I think Android L would be less buggy and would bring more performance and system stability because of ART only.. I think it will be a big upgrade..

But i am sure it WILL.. Coz XZ is a premium device under Z2 and ZU.. And SP too..
Android L is so freaking fast and nice, just flashed it onto my N5.
It simply has to come to the Z.

So, a guess from a random website based on what Sony did with KitKat. Previous update schedules don't affect the likelihood either way of getting newer versions of Android.

It would be great, but I have doubts that it will. HTC are talking about providing it for some of their devices 90 days after release. If Sony were to even follow such a fast schedule then it takes us well outside of the supposed 18 months of support for Android devices.
I hope they surprise us though. ?
