The latest update .534 has brought a nice boost to camera quality and noise is reduced significantly. I assume none of you have updated to .534 yet ? |

It is out for both C6903 as well as C6902. Europe actually got it first. |

I see. well i'm not in europe 
and PC companion and update service, both tell me i have the latest.. which isn't true. I don't think the update will come this way until it has been released in this region officially. sigh. by that time, it will probably be the even newer update *G.2.213
I am frustrated with Sony for not releasing the Z1 dock at the same time as the Z1. why should i have to wait to purchase a charging accessory!?
Yes i know I can get a cheap chinese generic magnetic charger off ebay or some other site, but i don't trust them to fit correctly or charge correctly. At least, not until I've heard a lot of feedback/reviews from those on esato.
For now, I'd only want to get the official one, which isn't even available for sale yet! damn you Sony.. this is one of the many things that sucks about you.
(i still love you)

I saw a working z1 a while ago. It was great and so premium looking.
In comparison to screen of my ultra, ultra is better but z1 is not that bad at all. Great improvement in comparison to xperia z.
I made a comparison in chrome icon between ultra and z1, the red color in ultra is deep red but in z1 is lightesh red. 
Interesting.. i should go to the store and compare.. i think they have ZU's there now.
EDIT:
So, I compared it to the icon on my XS and you're right. Even my XS ha a darker/deeper red than my Z1. So, i thought that was strange so i changed the backgrounds and stuff cause colors can shift due to its surroundings. Still the same. So then i looked in the app drawer and i noticed the youtube icon on Z1 is the same deep dark red as the chrome icon red on XS. weird. Is your youtube icon on your ZU darker than your chrome icon? if so, that would explain things.. but if they're the same.. it doesn't make much sense..

Hello bro my youtube icon is much darker red than in my chrome icon on my XU.
Does it mean the z1 panel here is ok? Cause im planning to get one but im not sure if the panel is the good one or not.

luwi - my XS's chrome icon has darker red than my Z1's icon. but youtube icons are the same dark red. You should compare youtube icons with the Z1 at the store. If they are the same, then that should give you confidence 
if they are different, then maybe those screens aren't that great. So, to review.
Chrome Icon: SX deeper, richer red than Z1
Youtube Icon: Same on both
Personally, I am VERY happy with my Z1 screen. So if you can make these same conclusions with your ZU, you should feel good about getting a Z1

Another thing bro, when i put the brightness to 100% in both xu and xz1, i noticed in xz1 that it is more bright coming from top and bottom of the screen unlike my ultra wherein the brightness is distributed equally. Is is the same as yours?
Sample pic taken by my ultra having z1 in 100% brightness :

that's just an illusion cause of the wallpaper being used. the top and bottom are white and gradient into the darker middle.
go into the albums app and look at a dark or colorful photo or change the wall paper to one of the darker themes. then do the same.
if you're still seeing quite a brightness distortion then it's a bad screen. i don't have uneven brightness.

@supercoolman - if you read the comments, apparently that's a "defective" HTC one camera. didn't know they had that issue.. *shrug*
moogoo, you should google and see the % of HTC One with that defect

if you purchased from Taiwan, DK31 was free and comes in the same box as Z1.

According to Dpreview comparisons
Z1 was placed 2nd
This is quite good , as we know Z1 is having 1/2.3 vs 1/1.5 of Lumia 1020,
But Z1 came close

^yeah. seems like the main complaint is post processing noise and resulting detail loss. but white balance and color reproduction seem to be great (which is true).
hopefully the new updates will fix all the post processing noise!
makes me wonder which firmware they had in their Z1..

@moogoo
Now i realy dont care about PA or GSMA comparisons
Dpreview proved the real potential of Z1 sensor, which can be improved a bit more through update
Because its not easy to have such quality without hump and in such a slim body.. |
