I must say, the Camera software, at least in indoor lighting/low-light situations is pretty poor.
The white-balance is way off. Something that looks orange-brown in reality, is made to look yellow-ish.
The iPhone 5 and 5s both produce much more natural looking colours compared with the Z1 Compact.
Haven't tried outdoor, bright-light photography yet, but given that I'm in the UK, where the weather is miserable, I doubt I'll get a chance for a while.
Hope Sony really sort this out with the 4.4 update, cause while Sony has infinitely superior camera hardware, they really are messing up with the software. |

What is this Z1 Compact device people are talking about? What are the rumoured specs?? Oh, wait......
Seriously way off topic. Absouletly nothing to do with rumours. The phone has its own dedicated thread. Surely we can discuss it there.
No mods around to clean up?

Sorry >500 you're absolutely right. I missed the off-topicness hence I like the z1c myself. 
Move over and back to fiction.

Now that we've got a compact z1, can we have a full-size version?
The compact seems to have a better screen and battery life.
Enter Sirius I suppose. |

Guys I have a question!
Is the magnetic charging connector the same in Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra? Not the cradle... Just the cable!
And will it be the same in Sirius?
Beacause I found a seller on Amazon that is selling the magnetic charging cable (Sony Official) alone at 11€ and I was planning in buying 1-2 of them... I think they could ne extremely useful for my future Phone...! |

Seriously there is nothing else to talk about... so why can´t we talk about offtopic stuff until new rumours arrive...

You can go off-topic in the Chat thread
Let's keep this one for Sony Xperia Rumours.

Nice! With no bump or whatsoever?? And will it still have the magetic connectors?
This could be great news for the sake of waterproofing!:) |

About qi wireless charging, does that mean that a wireless stand will be needed to be purchased separately or will it be included in the box? what's the real benefit of wc if you still need a stand sitting on your desk that is connected to a wall cable? why not just use the charging dock or cable? wc should not be dependent on a charging cable... otherwise it's not really wireless. EDIT: i read about this tech a bit, another disadvantage of wc is that you can't even move the device while its charging which is kind of silly. i see no benefit to wc other then for people who are lazy to hook the device to the charging cable - but wc doesn't even help that because docking station would be the best solution - you can still move the device and watch content in a viewing angle. unfortunately this tech is pretty much a toy rather then bringing something beneficial to the user.

The router/AP that is broadcasting your wifi signals still needs to be connected through a wire. Is that not wireless? |

@MNX1024
by saying what you say you COMPLETELY missed the point of what i am saying. for wc to be useful it should not require a charging cable and attaching it to a stand/mat - otherwise there is no meaningful benefit to wireless charging. you are just paying for an expensive charging cable and stand. the whole point of wc is not needing the annoying charging cable and having the ability to use your device and move it while its charging to wherever you want in your house, just like you would surf the net on a laptop wherever you want in your house WIRELESSLY. unfortunately, the plus is slightly ease of use, but that's about it. the disadvantages mentioned above outweigh this tiny ease of use.

I am in two minds about the Qi charging.
It's more convenient than buying a new dock every time I buy a new phone. Also it means I can just pritt stick a charging pad to any universal car holder and it will charge in the car.
But..
It charges slower than a usb cable and the magnetic ports on the newest Xperias works just as well.
But then again..
I see a future where on every table in every coffee Starbucks there's a rectangle drawn that will charge your phone if you put it there. All Qi powered. Just waiting for iPhone to include Qi so the coffee-slurping, skinny-jeans-wearing, hipster-monkey, I'm-so-original-that-I'm-the-same-as-everyone-else crowd think it's cool enough to do.
