iPhone talk isn't allowed here, so we will all suggest the Z.
It's like comparing Apple with Pears. Never had an Apple product and never will, but the myPhone seems to be quite decent under any circumstances.
Android vs iOS I'd always choose Android.
Edit:
P.S. What's the point making another topic? There are really plenty out there.
What if people made topics to compare the Z with other phones.
Then you would have:
Xperia Z vs Galaxy Note
Xperia Z vs Galaxy Note II
Xperia Z vs Galaxy S III
Xperia Z vs Galaxy S III mini
Xperia Z vs Droid DNA
Xperia Z vs Nexus 4
Xperia Z vs One X
And those are just a few....
Sv: Xperia Z vs iphone 5?
It's hard to compare. Two very different systems. If you like how Apple does things, you might like their phones better. But you better like how they do things, because you aren't allowed to change it. I know I found ios borring..

Easy one this go for the Z if you like customization and stuff, if you like stock standard same as others go with Apple has the iphone 4 and dont get me wrong it was a nice handset but i didnt get attached to it as i felt bored with the set up.
I have both. iPhone 5 and Xperia Z. I am a happy man.

2 phones? drug dealer? XD
Yes, swap it for the Xperia Z. It's far superior.
I have iPhone 5 as well. Just got my xperia z today. So far it's okay. Like the larger screen. Nothing wrong with the iPhone. Just got bored of it.

Xperia Z and iPhone 5 both are smart phones and there are many people who are interested in buying such kind of phones.iPhone 5 is one of the most popular as well as latest model of Apple.
I own a nexus 4, iPhone 5 and the xperia z. I honestly think the nexus is the best in terms of software and speed. The Z is a beautiful beast that I'm adjusting to... If only it ran stock jellybean. With regards to the iPhone 5, for me it's a massive disappointment. Not really any better than the 4s and you have to look after it a lot more as it scratches very easily.
If you have a tight budget get the nexus 4, if not then get the Z or hold out for the HTC one or Samsungs new offering when they announce.

Obvious? They both had their bad ass pics there but I don't see one being "obvious". Not that I'd consider an iPhone. They're WAY past their prime.

I thought it was obvious that the iPhone pics had a yellowish wash over them when viewed next to the Z pics. This was especially noticeable in the low light pics - the colour in the Z pics looked much more realistic. And, the details looked sharper overall in the Z pics. Although, there were a few pics where the iPhone came out on top.
Thanks guys. I (a little) ashamed to say Im leaning more towards the Galaxy s4 now after a glimpse into it... instead of the xperia z.
I think subconciously I know the right choice is to switch and give up my ip5 but I've been an iphone user for so many years. Maybe I just needed some convincing
But highlly anticipating the S4!!! Guess I should move this to the s4 threads now,.,
The camera of Xperia Z is really great and I have used it which owned by one of my friends.
I'm in the market for an upgrade and am torn between the Xperia Z and the Nexus 4. Obviously the Nexus 4 has the advantages of cost and timely updates from Google. I've read a lot of professional reviews about both phones, but would enjoy the chance to hear from Xperia Z owners about why I should choose this device over the Nexus 4.
The main advantages that I can see are; the screen resolution, the LCD screen being better in direct sunlight, 4G, upgradeable storage, waterproof, arguably stronger to being dropped, better battery life, better looks. Of those the upgradeable storage seems like a large gain, and the waterproofing a nice novelty (unless it one day saves me I guess!)
I'd love to hear from anyone that wants to persuade me to spend a bit more cash and go for the XZ.
I sold my N4 and bought an XZ. The only advantage the N4 has is that it's a Nexus, I run Cyanogenmod though so that's pretty much a non issue for me. Also, the N4 has a much more active dev community. Obviously it's cheaper too. I prefer the XZ in every other way though.
If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.
as the upper guy said go for the XperiaZ if u like giving your phone a shower every week
and have you checked ZL cause it is smaller with same 5inch screen
it's lighter also it has a better sound since its not rugged
Thanks for your reply about the ZL. According to the Sony website it's a few grams heavier but a decent bit smaller dimension wise. It's not available over here yet, but I'm going to keep an eye out for it.
I'd be interested to hear opinions about two issues that have come up in the reviews:
1) Software flaws that require the phone to be restarted to resolve
2) How the phone feels against your ear during calls - this sounds a bit of a strange one I admit!
Finally, does anyone have any information about the cost of Sony replacing the battery. Having replaced the battery (quite easily) on my Samsung Galaxy after about a year I'd be interested to know how easy/costly it is on a device such as this. I know Apple replace them on the iPhones for £55.
If it was my decision I would get a n4. Not only does it trounce the XZ in benchmarks but you get the vanilla android experience and you'll always be on the cutting edge when it comes to software updates. If 4G is a must then its the XZ you'll want although the hspa+ on the n4 is more than fast enough. Also, If you need the best shooter you can get then the XZ is also your best bet although again the nexus 4 is still not awful with its 8mp camera. Both phones will require a wipe down every once in a while due to their design (the nexus 4 has a gorilla glass back). I don't own a nexus 4 myself but quite a bit of my friends do and while only one of them has shattered the back cover, I've read many stories of people who absolutely despise the Nexus 4 claiming the back will shatter at the slight impact, however this can easily be worked around with a nice beefy case if you're worried.

I'm sort of in the same boat, I sold my iPhone 5 and brought a nexus 4.
I'm happy with it to a point but I'm really interested in the Z, I'm not sure why but it looks amazing.
I've never really played with a Z apart from a demo handset in phone shop but it looked wicked.
I think the main thing I got the nexus for was the updates, I'm happy with the performance of the phone, battery life could be better but apart from that, the nexus is a really good phone.
But if I had the chance to swap for a xperia Z then I would definitely swap.

I have both a N4 and XZ. I'd strongly recommend the XZ for LTE and the camera, if those matter to you. The N4's camera kind of sucks.

I wouldnt make the jump or wouldnt pay extra 200 for XZ over nexus 4, its a good phone but not a lot of dev for it, so far we have 1 kernel developer and maybe 4-5 good roms dev after 3 months coming out. I dint think it was a big jump from S3 to XZ.
CM10.1 is on here but there are a lot of bugs including memory leak. XZ is comparable to N4 but I dont think it can compete with HTC one or S4 and thats coming from someone who own the phone for more than a month.
P.s Dont come on this forum and ask for opinion, youtube and look at your options, most on here are either Fanboy or Sony employee.

Nexus has price and Android Update on its side
on the other hands, XZ is more powerful, absolutely awesome design
that's all rest its bull****, you cant compare point per point every stuff
are you willing to spend over 500/600 euros for such mobile phone?
that's your first question to figure out
personally i m focused much about aesthetic and design, XZ is one of most if not the most beautiful smartphone ever made
it s even prettier than iPhone 5
focus on those things,
XZ = design and powerful
Nexus = quality / cost almost unbeatable, Android Update

Cyanogenmod doesn't have a memory leak. The only bugs are the speakerphone doesn't work in calls, 1.5 second wake lag and apparently hdmi out doesn't work. It's perfectly good as a daily driver.

That wasn't a memory leak though, it was a gpu scaling issue and has been fixed (for me at least). It was a very minor issue and I wouldn't have even noticed if it wasn't pointed out.
Others have pointed out the price difference. This is absolutely right. Having the N4, if the XZ wasn't given to me, I wouldn't have gotten it. Between the 2, the N4 is half the price. If you're looking to spend money on one or other, the N4's definitely a bigger bang for the buck. While I do firmly believe that the XZ is a better all around phone, I can't honestly say that the differences you get warrant the additional 300 bucks.
Well I guess it depends on where you live but I'd only save 40SEK (About 6.50USD) A month on the Nexus 4.
And the salesman was really pushing the nexus4 so I guess it isn't to popular here in Sweden either. So the choice was easy for me.
Aannyyway, I went with the Z, obviously. Mostly for the water resitance as i broke my S2 from water damage and my arc got dropped once to (but it survived)
I love this phone, I don't have any issues with it. Except that you NEED to buy good screen protector, one with lifetime warranty perhaps.
You do not wan't to scratch the Anti-Shatter Filter. ( I actually returned mine because I did and got it replaced)
Thanks for all of your inputs. I feel a lot more informed, but I'm not sure if I'm any closer to making a decision.
The more I think about it though the more interested I am in the 'pure Android' experience. I might try and bide my time and wait and see if the S4 'Nexus' ships internationally, or if there is any noise towards the end of the year about a Nexus 5.

Xperia Z has open AOSP Sources, with time there will be a perfect AOSP rom, and the roms we've got now are perfectly fine, they're great actually, the Carbonrom is almost flaw free. and Cyanogenmod works great as a daily driver, few lag bugs and radio isn't working afaik.
I paid as much for the xperia z then I would for the nexus 4. And I get waterproof and bigger screen. So it was easy to make the call and expendable memory is nice too. Both would cost 300 euros. Defiantly the Xperia Z is the better phone for the same price.

Hey all.
I have to s4 and love it. Loads! But I'm thinking about going for the z1.
Camera is good from what I've heard. But is it really that good?
Is it good for fast moving motion? Kids jumping on trampoline and stuff life that.
My s4 is just fantastic on sport pictures. Doesn't blur at all. Also battery life?
Also is the phone any good?
Sorry for all the questions I just want a change and I like this camera I hear on the z1.
How does the phone feel?
Thanks

I love my z1. The camera in great in daylight, but not so great at night unless you use the manual nighttime settings. Is it worth the upgrade is up to you. I never thought the s4 took bad photos. Myself, I'd say no if you are just looking for a better camera. S4 is a great phone. I just think the z1 is a slightly better one. It's my opinion though and I'm entitled to it.
Hmm... Well it's waterproof as well. Which is a big thing for me. I'm always scared to pull my phone out in rain. I love in Wales in the UK We get enough rain lol.

I've purchased a Galaxy S4 for my father and sister and personally own a Note 2. And let me tell you this - the Z1 feels remarkably better than the S4, or any Samsung phone for that matter.
The S4 is great 'n all with very solid hardware, but the Touchwiz UI is what is starting to really bother me. I played with my Z1 for a full day before I was forced to return it (LTE issues with the specific model I purchased) and simply loved it. I love the near vanilla Android experience with Sony's little UI on top. It wasn't as intuitive as Touchwiz, but it was so fluid in what it did that I simply did not care that it didn't have the same things that the S4 has. The only thing I'd say you'd have to consider if the size of the actual phone. While it may have the same amount of screen real estate, it is much larger than the S4. In fact, it's nearly the same size and weight of my Note 2.
So if you don't mind the larger phone (in comparison to the S4), then go for it. The camera and the waterproofing is just an added bonus. The experience of the phone is so great that is simply trumps every other aspect. Everything is just so smooth and fluid that I'm having very little second thoughts about my future purchase. The Note 3 was released today and I love it (I work at Best Buy so I've got unlimited access to it really) but I simply cannot ignore the greatness of the Z1.

have to say Sony is making its mark now . i got rid of my gt-i9505 for the z1 . time will tell if i made the right move. so far so good. for Sony
The jump from s4 to a z1 isn't that big bro. My GF has the s4, I have the z1, camera is almost the same (but I'm not a professional photographer, just saying). But the game changer here is the waterproof feature, I would love to try underwater shots. It would be so unique from other people's phones. hehe

lol i wouldn't be putting water near the phone any time soon. i heard on some other site someone tried it is a sink of water. not good results.
I just gave my S4 to the Mrs after buying the Z1. It's faster, camera is awesome. The timeshift burst is fun and makes for great "auto-awesome" pics on g+.
I've also put it in the sink a few times and use it in the shower.
Overall, I'm glad I switched!

Bro about the headphone jack, that's the great upgrade they have made from the Z. They removed the flap, and made the headphone jack waterproof without the flaps! I'm not joking. If by upgrade you mean premium feel and waterproof, then this z1 WILL BE A BIG UPGRADE from your s4 bro.

Hey guys
So the title says it all really
I can get both for around the same price, a couple of £'s here and there difference
I love the Xperia Z ultra because of the thinness of the device and how powerful it is, im not to fussed about the camera or that it has no flash. the battery life looks good too, and i must say the screen is the best feature with that X reality engine and Bravia engine, it looks amazing.
Bear in mind im getting either or after xmas, 6 months later im due an upgrade so should i go to a 5" device now and then bigger in June when my contracts up
I love the Xperia Z1 because its still pretty thin and has the same specs, battery life looks to be around the same, and that camera would probably come in handy eventually
what do you guys think?
Ive posted this in both Z1 and Z Ultra thread to get an idea of which to get
Jack
After I got the Z1 I had a feeling of going bigger and nearly swapped. The big one is cheaper to buy sim free but was dearer on contract. Thought I would like the pen writing thing and big screen but after watching a load of youtube videos it's just too big for me and my pocket. I realised when I was at shops and even z1 was stretching my pockets. Got over the idea now. Think I would need both and use z ultra like a tablet in the house. But then I would just get a tablet in the first place lol.

If you're upgrading in 6 months' time anyway, I'd say go for the Z1 now, being the more recent of the two, and see if you can get your hands on the Z Ultra 2 (or whatever the Ultra's successor will be called), which should be coming out roundabout that time.
If you don't care about the camera go now with an ultra. Now is a Google play edition and you'll not die forever like us to get a miserable 4.3. As you know the device is magnificent. If wasn't for the fact that I need a good camera. Ultra will be on close eyes my choice.

4.3 came out today for both devices
Hi y'all,
I'm currently using a Galaxy Nexus GSM version and I'm having the option to trade it along with 100 euros for an Xperia Z1 with 2 years warranty and no scratches at all. Before I had to buy the Galaxy Nexus (which is from someone else, it's not even new) I was using my beloved Galaxy S3. I loved it, but thanks to the crappy build quality of Samsung the display broke and the screen is black only now.
My question is, is it worth it to trade my Galaxy Nexus with 100 euros for an Xperia Z1 with 2 years warranty and no scratches?
Oh and by the way, isn't it strange? Because the Z1 is worth more than the Nexus and 100 euros..

I'm currently using a Galaxy Nexus GSM version and I'm having the option to trade it along with 100 euros for an Xperia Z1 with 2 years warranty and no scratches at all.

100 Euros for a practically new Z1 with Warranty?
that would be a bargain in my opinion,
Just make sure the dealer is legitimate, and the phone is not faulty.

Yeah I find it a little bit strange that it's that cheap. There must be something wrong even though he said there's nothing wrong.
Is there anything I should check carefully?

Check for Water damage, Dents, Cracked Screen/Back Glass, also make sure the touch screen is working propperly, and all ports are good.

Go.to about phone and hit diagnosis....run all tests
Sent from my C6902
Thank you both. I will check that.
What's weird as well is that we have set a time when I'm going to him to check the phone out, but he wants me to email him when I'm on my way. That's kinda strange huh?

So long as theres nothing wrong with the Z1 i'd say go for it, but if I may add another choice for you.
The oneplus one ! www.oneplus.net
Superb phone and only £269 for the 64GB version, once it's freely available i'll be selling my Z1 for it.
At the moment it's invitation only

That's true but when you consider you're getting a phone which beats anything hands down on the market today and you're paying half price for it, I think it deserves some serious consideration.
I'm already sold and I can't fault it, not to mention that it's customisable out of the box.
350 euros! That a brilliant price for that kind of a phone, how much was the note 3 in europe when it came out?
5.5 inches is too big, ideal size 4.7 inches...
In my opinion

Depends on the hand size really. If you have big hands 5.5 inches might be alright. If you have small hands 4.7 could even be to big. In my case I got relatively small hands but I can handle 4.7 inches. Friday I will get my Xperia Z (not Z1, sorry all of the Z1 forum ) and see whether I can handle 5 inches as well.
