he clearly stated that he would not use the bezels as pros or cons because they are highly subjective 
Still the battery will surely be better on the G2! you are right 
I didn't mention bezels. I'm talking about the dimensions of the phone. |

I afraid that's fall under the same category.
if you have bigger bezel - bigger device.
i can make the same assumption as the z1 is thinner, so we have a tie..
bulkier but less taller lg, or thinner but taller z1 (also waterproofed and dust resistant)

I think most people would agree that having a bigger screen in a phone that has smaller physical dimension would be an advantage.
Dude, I'm not saying I don't like the Z1, I really do. |

@Rphilippe - you lucky bastard!! haha.. i'm so jealous. can't wait for your impressions.. don't kid yourself.. you'll be playing with it for the next 3-4 hours straight
@dacha - do you have official confirmation of this tmobile exclusivity or is it just based on the same information you had before that wasn't confirmed in any way? In any case, if it is tmobile "exclusive" it is still sold unlocked at full retail price. Tmobile just lets you finance the cost of the phone included in the price of a monthly subscription. However, you can choose to pay it outright. In either case, you are not locked into a contract.
C6906 supports both Tmobile AND AT&T LTE frequencies. Personally, I was planning to switch to Tmobile anyway for the lower monthly cost and unlimited data, but wanted to wait for C6906 to allow me the option of switching back to AT&T if signal on Tmobile wasn't up to my standards.
So.. if it is a Tmobile exclusive, that's fine with me. but WHEN is it arriving! that is the most important question
@dalmac - i don't agree with that sentiment. I think the size of the bezels adds both visual design style AND practical functionality. I've always found Sony phones to be very comfortable to use and of course, look the best. It's highly personal and since it's been a great big argument on here for awhile, there are clearly a lot of people in both camps

what device were they testing here? prototype? review device? retail device?
*the antutu benchmark score is incredibly low
*the display is very poor with a 500:1 contrast ratio, even lower than the xperia z's
*the photos taken were all grainy and washed out (their sample photos here)

@rphilippe can you test about the quality of the bottom speaker, please?
And if you have time to make a review of this beast for us, would be amazing!!
Enjoy your Z1!! |

Gotcha, so you prefer a bigger phone with a smaller screen.
Fair enough. |
