Hello. Bought a used Xperia V today and when i reached home i looked closely at the front panel of V and i'm shocked to see that there is no Sony logo on front of phone. Other than that every thing on phone looks genuine and its also water proof as checked by the shopkeeper on front of me.
What i want to ask that is its original ? or its chinese made phone ? its model is lt25i. Please answer as soon as possible. thanks.

I think the screen protector is removed, maybe it was scratched.

yes screen protector is removed. is sony logo is placed on screen protector but not on glass ?
are you talking about plastic screen protector or scratch resistant glass ?
the sony logo is on the factory fitted screen protector that many users remove. It is nothing to worry about
thank you all for your replies. i was worried about it but now i'm relaxed. thanks.
So the sony logo is removeable? Interesting..same as xperia z?

Oh, that is ugly. they put that logo on the screenprotector?
on my Xperia T i have both logos on the glass, removed the screenprotector and still have sony and xperia logo

AFAIK, this plastic screen protector is there to make the screen "shatterproof", which is true because when the glass screen shatters, the plastic cover will hold it together. I'm still wondering why they put the sony logo on there

for me its not a problem at all. even the "SONY" logo removed, its still a sony product. the performance and quality is still the same with or without the sony logo. i just scared if i remove the screen protector along with the sony logo my phone will turn into an iphone.

Sorry my bad, to my understanding if you remove the sheet, it removes a layer of added security :|! That will be a nono!
The logo in screen protectors are just only on alpha builds. The consumer version of the device's logo with be on the screen itself.

So, you have remove your shatter proof screen protector and Sony logo is printed on the glass display?
Was reading it some Days ago in a German Forum. A guy removed the Screen Protector and the Sony Logo was printed on the Protector not on the Phone itself
That's early prototype sets

What you're referring to happened almost 2 months ago. It was a CES demo unit.
I want to know if it is the screen protector that is the reason for the bad viewing angles, it is not your everyday extra thin protector but a special shatter proof protector that I imagine is quite thick, and would definitely spoil the view if looking side on!
Not that I mind as I'll be the only one viewing it (well after a week of me showing it off!)
No. It's the screen technology used.

So you have tried it or seen it without a screen protector?
It's just that every video I've seen is showing it with the screen protector on, and next to a different phone that doesn't have a screen protector, so of course it is going to look a lot worse.
I am not saying that it has good viewing angles, but I would have thought better than I have seen with the protector on, as looking through shatter proof plastic side on will automatically add a slight blurry off white/grey colour to the screen.
Yup I removed mine. Same angles.

i am considering removing the anti shatter film from my xperia z once i get it as the idea of having a 100% blank phone is very interesting to me
however it seems theres alot of negatives doing this (i have bought a screen protector for about 20$ which i will get with the phone)
when removing the anti shatter film it seems you will get
1insane fingerprint magenet (i thought it would be the opposite)
2.extremely hard to clean
would you recommend removing it or keeping it on i just want to remove it to get rid of the sony logo and to have a much nicer feel too it better display and nicer feel
is it recommended to remove it or keep it on? (then apply a normal screen protector)
i bought this one https://www.inet.se/produkt/1999042/invisibleshield-sony-xperia-z-screen-coverage
ofcourse i want the best quality screen protector possible
someone also said the nfx logo comes off at the back whats a nfc logo?
Discussed to death already. Also, a question thread should not be in General.

I want to remove, but I want to keep the Sony logo. As there is no replacement for the Sony logo (yet, maybe it'll come with future screen protectors with sony logo on it), I'm not removing it.
The Sony logo looks beautiful on this device.

the sony logo does look nice
but imagine a completely blank glass front i think that would actually look better
like a piece of glass no buttons nothing you can't tell it's a phone from the front
So just to confirm, on this premium device the Sony logo is technically only a sticker??

Er yes but looks better without anything after i removed the film.
i will get my phone today and i am still not sure if i should
whats worrying me now is damage
i read it can litterally damage the phone and break the water proofing how true is this?
then theres the fingerprint thing is it better or worse without it?
i want to remove it then apply a real screen protector to fix fingerprint issues
the damage part worries me though
i do want the sony logo off though

The Xperia Z has many features, this is one of them:

Your son scratched a plastic surface.
Take it off, buy a screen protector, and replace.
The xperia z has a glued on anti shatter film that you can remove and replace with any screen protector of your choice. The only downside is that you lose the Sony logo
Press thanks if I have helped

Yeah it's only the anti shatter film. But if you do remove it you will loose the Sony logo. Some people find that a plus. Also some reporting more responsive screen.

This. This is my guess. Sony doesn't have a history of cheating so I doubt that's the reason now.

In another forum, a guy said he was part of screen technology, which because it is thin, it would be impossible to press the Sony logo.
He had posted a picture explaining!
Yeah really hate the fact the Sony logo is pressed on the film. It's the only reason why I haven't removed mine. I have a hard enough time already telling which way is the right way up. Just hope we don't see another omnibalace design from Sony. The bottom bezel looks much bigger than it should be.
I prefer on screen buttons but I thought that was meant to help reduce the chassis. Maybe Sony was absent at that meeting because the Z is certainly taller than it needs to be.

If you look closer, you'll notice it has symmetrical proportions, so i guess sony guys had that on their minds... ZL is living prof that extra dimensions are here just cause pure esthetics. My only complain... they could have put larger battery also then...

I cant find anywhere on the net if the xperia logo on the back is pressed into the glass or the 'shatter-proof film'...the reason I ask is that I have protected my screen, but the back has small scratches. Ide hate to loose the xperia logo in an effort to renew its original luster with a new film...anyone know?
The Xperia logo in thw back doesn't come out while removing the film.

Check with your country's sony store if removing asf does void warranty before removing it.
Since Sony doesn't want people to remove the screen protector is there any type of anti fingerprint coding on it? I mean If I remove the screen protector will the screen be nice to use or will it just get all smudged in fingerprints that are impossible to remove?

No coating, just straight glass...but I'd recommend getting a matt finish (anti smudge) screen protector if u are going to remove.. Or unless ur screen is already scratched, simply apply it over the top of the factory one. Couldnt personally tell a difference in responsiveness by doing so.

Is there any place you can buy the OEM shatter layer for the xperia Z (With Sony Logo)?
I guess many people don't put on the screen protectors that comes with the box, not knowing about the shatter layer that is not scratch-resistant. Would be great to replace with a new one, then put on a screen protector..

so far theres non.. but later on maybe some will sell with a sony logo.. but for best when you unboxed ur Z,just put the free protector,front and back.. it could spare the built in layer.. and whhen the time ull remove it,we hope theres somebody who sells with a sony logo.
Yes, I have never had the need for screen protector on my other phones, so this being the first time I installed one, I failed miserably.
However I bought a Copter Screen protector yesterday, much easier to apply.
Yes,the built in though its thick.. So i already bought another prtctor with thin film,so the touch response will not degrade.. Are you annoyed living your XZ Not having a sony logo?
sent from my C6502
It just does not feel right removing the Sony logo on a brand new phone.. I like things to be original. But I have not read about anyone having problems after removing it, so it is a solution for those with scratched shatter films I guess.

First, Im sorry if its been covered, but Ive searched extensively and can find no specific answer- Yes, I do know there is a supposed shatter proof film on the back... but if I remove it in an attempt to restore its original luster by adding a new protector, will I loose that elegant xperia logo?
