Xperia V or Xperia Ion? I actually wanted the Xperia T, but in Singapore, they are not planning to sell the Xperia T. I currently hold the Xperia U. But was forced to change it as the screen was too small. Xperia Ion is oddly more expensive then the V, but I really want the screen estate. I'm also eyeing on the Optimum X4 but for some reason, I don't trust LG. The Optimum is a quad core and is way cheaper then the both, and have a IPS 4.7" screen. Advice please.

Definitely go for the V, the CPU power alone can make you never come back to the old Xperia S or Ion. And stay away from LG.

I do not have a V yet, but I have played with VL. I was amazed at the screen, it is the best I have ever seen, at some point, I thought it was printed! Anyway, the buttons on the ion is never sensitive enough, I would prefer onscreen buttons any day. 4G is a must in singapore, and think of the speed boast is a plus.
Just a sidenote, T does not fare well, even against the Ion. Ion does, in fact, is slightly better than T, due to the poor colour reproduction of the screen and the akward position of the buttons.
Here are my preferences.
V > TX > SGS3 > Ion > S> T > U
But Ion have a really beautiful screen. And large one too. The reason why im changing from U is because the screen is too small.

Go for Xperia V although ion screen bigger...It's specs much better than Xperia ion.
Now already available in Singapore...And also it is dust and water proof...
this is from my perspective:
I wouldn't choose either. If you can hold it up till next year then do it.
The V, yes it has better specs and features than the ION, but its not all that great IMHO. The "flaps" is damn annoying, Ive owned Xperia S before and i hated it every single day. On top of that, 4.3 inch screen with virtual buttons? Sorry Im not a huge fan of getting phones with less than 4.5 inch screens. I am currently using Xperia TL, and damn with those virtual buttons it makes my screen look smaller than it should be.
The ION, specs are too outdated and on top of that who knows if it will get the updates after jelly bean. Better to be on the safe side. And yes, it does have a better screen than Xperia T. Both ION and Xperia T feels damn sturdy. Like rock solid, unlike the SG3.
Just saying~
PS: dont get the Optimus G, its horrible and yes the specs are the best in the market right now, but its LG. They have a long history of bad update procedures and stuff (built quality/software)??. In addition, they just ditches their flagship phones after 3 months or something. :/

Thanks for your advice. I have a telecom voucher that ends very soon, two days from now, in fact. The flaps are to protect the Xperia V from nature though have no idea why the Xperia S have it. I guess I will go for the Xperia V. It's cheaper (S$40) and it's more future prove, plus LTE. And it's the bond phone haha.
Xperia v vs ion
hi bro, hopefully u have not bought the xperia v yet, i went to Singtel yesterday and tested the Xperia V with my ion.
1. The screen on the ion beats the Xperia V so much. Contrast so much better and deeper blacks on the Ion.
2. I have installed the Cybershot V4 and i compared the camera on both phones. Superior Auto on V and HDR auto on Ion, the xperia v's 13mp camera gave me a pic of 2.2mb photo size and the Ion 12Mp camera gave me a 2.95mb photo size . (Same Photo)
3. Yea, the ions lags slightly on CPU speed, but its very Minor.
3a. Yea, the onscreen buttons may seem not so responsive on the ion, but after all the firmware updates, all the touch screen Mods, its almost Perfect.
4. After looking at the outlook of the Xperia V, i found out that i prefer my Ion looks(Aluminium back) , although its slightly thicker. In fact i feel that Xperia Arc looks better then the V.
5. The screen is larger then the V.
6. Internal Storage is more then the V.

It's too late
I choose the V. Thanks for your advice anyways. I agree with you that ion is one of the best HD screen Sony ever made. I went to the Xperia Store in j8 and there's a screen tearing lag in the ion. But the V is cheaper and more future prove.

They're basically the same. Identical specs etc.
Only differences i've been able to track:
- ZL is 5-6mm shorter
- Z is water/dust proof while ZL is not
- ZL has infrared port to act as a bravia remote
- Different build. Z is full glass while ZL uses plastic back
No info on the price, although it might be almost the same. Shame they won't bring Z and ZL in the same time to most countries - seems like half the world won't get one of them. ZL won't be available in the UK.
no i did not know there were 2 diffrent models of the same phone
But looking again the z is better as in
IP57 certified - dust and water resistant
- Water proof up to 1 meter and 30 minutes
there are a number of features that's different on both.
Infrared - ZL
water/dust resistant - Z
Size - ZL
camera shutter key - ZL
battery - ZL
glass body - Z
Dual Sim - ZL? Please confirm this one
that's all I think.

ZL is *not* dual sim.
ZL has IR blaster, camera button and slimmer bezel
Z has full glass body, is thinner and is waterproof.

Thanks if that's true Can't really confirm that one since almost all blogs state that it's dual sim
and a sony moderator can't even confirm this one.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/101891
Nevertheless how can you say that it's not dual sim? Need some credible source to believe it.

It is not dual sim. Look at any video when they open the back. The cover on the back gives you slots for microsim and microsd, not 2 micro sim cards. Also the battery is not really bigger. It's about 30-40mah more which is basically the same if we look at 2370mah capacity.
ZL also has a better notification light.

I wouldnt consider Z to have a notification light because of how small it is, it's just like my xperia T which I barely could see.
Ok then at least call it notification led since that thingy that's glowing is a light emitting diode LED.

Do you want slightly bigger phone with water/dust proofing (Z) or smaller sized device with ir remote and no water/dust proofing (ZL)? Other than that they are basically the same with some design differences.
The Z scored better in data speeds and battery times in the spec lists on the gsm link above coupled with waterproof and shatterproof that's the one I'd get my dad lol
Heya. Can everyone tell me the differences between Sony XperiaZ and ZL ?
I wanna buy one of them and im still not sure which one to pick. Im reffering to the looks, performance, camera, everything.
Sent from my S2
ZL is a bit smaller. It has camera button and IR blaster.
Z is waterproof, while ZL is not. Z has full glass body, with ZL having textured-plastic back.
Same hardware, same specs otherwise.
Can't really think of any other important differences ( if there are any at all )
Also the ZL has a 40 mAh larger battery.

z is thinner (but larger end wider)
Incidentally I think it was a mistake to make the Z waterproof and not the ZL. Lots of people are going to get confused and damage their ZL with water. They should either have made it water-proof or given it another letter.

Hey guys, i have quite allot of android phones and i have tried to stay away from Sony since they lock their boot loaders and it looked like it was hard to develop anything i haven't gotten one (the old ui was FUGLY as well). i own a T989 Galaxy s2 (in fact i own three of them!) as my Main for right now and its getting pretty old (cpu and gpu are old and Games are not as well handled as they used to) i have been thinking of getting a new phone and that phone i have come down to is either a Samsung Galaxy mega 6.3 or a Xperia Z or Xperia SP, i have never payed attention to the Xperia line and they have a pretty good thing going for now, i think i might have to move them to my list of jobs i might take up . everything about the Xperia Z looks pretty great, everything beats out my s2. thought im worried that i have heard that xperias TFT Screens have TERRIBLE veiwing angles, i dont honestly know if i care about that but do any of you get disappointed by this? and do you think it would be the same on the Xperia SP? if so please state what you dont like about the Xperia Z, your Help is appreciated .

well i suggest you to go for Xperia Z1 Compact / Z2,it has very good viewing angles
Xperia Z & Z1 really has very bad viewing angles,SP about same,but better
Or you can choose T2 Ultra,it also uses IPS TFT

i see that the Xperia Z1 compact only has a 4.3" screen. my s2 has a 4.5" and i would like something bigger or equal to that. i see that the Xperia Z2 Compact will have a bigger screen but when it comes out is unknown. im sure i wouldn't mind the poor viewing angles, but the real question is would i be fine with the SP or do i need a bigger screen (Xperia ZL) for $100 more?
Im viewing my phone head on and don't really want people watching my screen so the 'terrible' viewing angles don't mean much to me. When I show people videos on my phone no one has complained saying they cannot see. Im an ex Z user and current Z1 user. Id go for the Z out of your choices.

S2 have the same 4.3" like Z1 Compact
While Z2 Compact would probably be around 4.6"
Sony won't support SP much as it is not Z Series,so i still suggest you to go for bigger screen of Xperia Z / ZL
Z2 is the best choice
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
If you are looking at the Z2, i personally suggest looking at the newer HTC One M8 and S5.
Sony has JUST begun to catch up with competition, an example is they finally use IPS displays that don't give washed out colours.
Another thing that is an issue as of right now is, their software updates arrive late and with serious bugs, just take a look in the Z Ultra, Z1, Z1 Compact sections about their 4.4 update.
Also, the Z2 has quite large bezels.
Another thing to keep in mind is, when the next flagship Sony comes out soon, Sony will shift most their focus to that device, resulting in the Z2 having a shorter life as a top priority device compared to other companies devices.
(Sony has a 6 month flagship rotation, other companies usually have a one year flagship rotation)
Sony has begun to improve slowly, but to me, Sony is still a risky choice if you are looking for a flagship grade device and support.
All this is just my personal opinion

Hello i have felt the sony xperia SP before and the Z.
The SP's wieght is quit low and when i carry it it feels very light and not heavy like the Z. However, i want to confirm the user experiances other people have had.
So i want to know if the SP wins or Z wins in terms of performance. When i touch the scren of the SP, it feels very smooth but im not sure if that is still good with the Z or not. Is the Z's screen ok and same as the SP or not?
The cpu speed of SP is more then Z so doesnt that make SP more powerfull then the Z. i KNOW THAT z has quad cpu but it has 1.5GH istead of 1.7ghz.
Thanks.
SP is sleek and so is the Z but i really want to confirm there usage. I want the loud ear speaker volume and videos and music should be played with out any bad quality

1) Z Wins here. The Touch Screen Is Very Smooth On Z. and For ur Information SP 's Display the worst ever . Just use a Z and see the difference. Z Display is awsom
2) SP has 1.7 Dual Core CPU. Z Has 1.5 Quad Core CPU. The So the speed does not matter here. Sure Z also win here too. U will get 3 times faster performance with Z
3) SP Is sleek . Z also. its little bigger becuase of the Screen Size. But design , Screen display quality and performance wise Z is the winner. And SP has a poor camera too..
Z Will get Android 4.4.2 KITKAT update by next month.
Overall U can not compare SP with Z. Both r different. Final Conclusion .
XPERIA Z IS THE REAL TIME WINNER . GO FOR IT... :good:
