I think the S4 beats the Z and probably the Z1 as well unfortunately.
yeah. . . Even my ages old w595 beats the crap out of xz and z1 camera. This is really disappointing!!! I feel like Sony has become the worst shit ever ! Kaz should be killed right now. . . ! How the hell is a company like Sony even allowed to do business on earth!!? Right ?
Stop this bullshit dude! You are simply over reacting for no reason or proof!!!
Btw how are you even claiming that s5 will belt z1 and z2!? Do you have some sixth sense or can you see the future through some time machine which your favourite Samsung or Nokia might have manufactured ? :->

@dacha - come on man. you should know better than to post info from a no name cite reporting on nearly 3 month old information! you're misleading people here..
@monkeypantz - FCC did approve the Z1 way back in August. That article Dacha posted seems to be some dude who got really lucky and got a domain name like talksony.com (how does anyone do that these days!?). Proof that site is a noob is simply that it only has 2 pages of "articles" and if i felt like it, i could probably look on the wayback machine to see it's history (or lack thereof).
Anyway, Z1 was approved way back in august by the FCC since it was going to be announced on sept. 4, and released soon after. it HAS to be approved before it is released to the public, since the Z1 is a global phone and someone from another country who gets the Z1 before the US, can travel to the US with the Z1 and it's ok. FedEX totally screwed you.
Sounds like you have been totally screwed during this whole process of getting a Z1. Either you're just on here messing with us or you have the worst luck of anybody!! As you can see, there are a few other users in the US who got their Z1 with no problems from handtec or clove. I highly suggest you go to the FEDEX terminal where it is currently located and DISPUTE the matter vehemently.
@MNX - NICE PICS MAN! but i feel ya. I probably won't have many unboxing pics haha. I might do a quick unboxing video though. I will also check for Xperia Privilege content. I was trying to search google to see if anybody was getting the free movies and it looks like some people are! Not sure if the free movie and music unlimited trial is Z1 exclusive or what.. we'll see. If i figure out a way to get the content, i'll share.
@vikeviki - it seems pretty clear that there is no screen lottery (in the way that I'm pretty sure you mean it). everyone seems to be getting the same SHARP screen.

Thanks for the information Moogo, I had to fill in an FCC form with the FCC approval number and currently only the Z seems to be approved. I might just be to stupid to find the FCC number, anyway it is is annoying that handtec would not provide this information. No matter how this ends by the bare min. my shipment will be delayed a few days |

@monkeypantz and anybody else importing the Z1 (C6903) into the US
FCC FORM 740
PART 1
FIRST ROW:
Date of Entry: leave blank (fedex should fill this)
Entry Number: leave blank (fedex should fill this)
Port of Entry: leave blank (fedex should fill this)
Harmonized Tariff Number: leave blank
Quantity: 1
SECOND ROW
Device Model/Type Name: C6903
Trade Name: Xperia Z1
FCC ID: PY7PM-0450
Description of Device: Smartphone
THIRD ROW
Manufacturer Name/Address: Sony Mobile Communications (should be enough, since they can view address using FCC ID)
Cosignee: leave blank
Importer: your information
FOURTH ROW
Print your name, sign your name, date it
PART 2
Put an 'X' next to Row #1 "The FCC has issued a grant of equipment authorization for the FCC ID above"
That's it! You should have no issues getting your Z1 from FEDEX after that as it is clearly approved by the FCC for use in the US. Hope this helps anyone having to deal with this.

repost from the rumors thread, heh.
Interesting. I was just using the Digital Versus comparison tool where they compare shots from the iPhone 5S, Lumia 1020, Galaxy S4, LG G2, Xperia Z1 and iPhone 5. Here's a direct link:
http://www.digitalversus.com/[....]bf801e6cea6d2b250cec8eeba4cdfb
I suggest scrolling down to the category on the left for Detail 100%. You can grab any of the samples and move them about to see anywhere on the larger sample test image. For the majority of the image, it actually seems like the Z1 resolves more detail than all of the other phones except for the Lumia. It does get soft in the top and bottom left corners, but looking at most of the image in the center and the right, it seems to produce better results than the others. There is a certain level of noise present on the Z1s shot overall though and it's barely noticable in some areas and very noticable in others. Hopefully these are the little parts that'll be fixed in the big camera update that's coming

Don't know what they have done in the 534 firmware update but they have just taken the battery life up a few notches - I had no complaints before but it is very very much better, I would call it substantial

Camera quality is very bad. Specs 1/2.3" it should be killing, but overcompression and noise suppression overkill mean images turn out worse than my SGS2 could previously output. If this is the best sony has to offer, then damn.
The camera is not as good as I was hoping for as has been well documented in reviews. I'm sure this is a software compression issue and sony will fix it in time
My first use of the camera produced shockingly poor photos, full of grain and soft post-processing. This came as a huge shock to me and really put a downer on my shiny new phone.
The camera really should perform better. I feel like i'm getting worse pictures than with my Desire X.
Not a single positive camera impressions from Z1 early adopters? Shocked! 
Cheers,
Miki
It's extremely interesting you intentionally choose all the negative
comments. The first few comments in XperiaBlog praises it. Try haeder. Maybe Samsung is not paying you enough. |
