Awesome, thanks for that, I'm reluctant to put it in a case as it looks so damn good in all its glass and ally glory!!!:) |

Hi All, noob post alert!!:) been following this thread for a few days as I'm about to go Z1 after 18months on S3! In UK and I did pre-order with O2 to get the QX10 included and they've been holding it for me since release day as it wouldve been 2 months early upgrade fee otherwise and d-day is tomorrow!
Being honest after reading all the -ve's re screen I've had a few concerns and have checked out Note3, S4 & G2 great screens all imho however G2 jut feels really cheap to me and I fancy a change from Sam, I'll let my eyes decide before I take it out of shop but I had a play with one today which had a demo vid of Elysium on it and it looked really reallly nice!!!
I finally have a question if anyone can advise, do Sony have the screen protectors fitted already or should they be loose in box? I've seen a vid showing one being removed which took off the Sony logo at same time so wasnt sure if thats a separate protection fitted to the glass or what??
Cheers guys.
ps @ XperiaJunkie flippin 'eck mate how many steps!!!!....glad to hear it survived, think the G2 would've exploded on 2nd step!!:)
the O2 UK Xperia Z1 comes with an additional screen protector aswell as the shatter proof film it is separate by the way o2 don't include headphones in the box.
Ps. If the G2 would've exploded on the 2nd step I guess the S4 would just turned to dust ha ha
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...

sony applies the shatter proof sheet (which is barely noticeable). This is the sheet that has the sony logo on it. there is a screen protector in the box which can go on top as well, though it's not a great one as it attracts fingerprints easily.
I purchased illumishield and use it on front and back. works great, feels great. and best of all a lot less fingerprints.
I just wish Sony would make the shatter proof sheet more scratch resistant

not a great comparison. clearly, 20mp manual is capable of producing great pictures as I have , and others have, shown in sample photos in the other thread. Z1's camera takes time to get used to. It's not a beginner's camera like the Iphone 5s. Contrary to what Sony advertises, it's not really for any noob.. though the superior auto mode can produce pretty good pictures. It's in manual mode that the camera can really shine in the right hands.
shame that there are so many of these types of comparisons putting down the Z1's camera when it really is very nice (and hopefully will get better). the dpreview one was the most fair, I think. Though even with them, I think it was too quick of a comparison to make a conclusive statement.

speaking of pictures..
Does anybody know if the UNLIMITED Play Memories storage is part of the Z1 purchase? I remember Kaz mentioning it during the announcement, but none of the promos have said anything regarding it. I haven't tried storing anything there yet, so I'm just wondering if anybody had any info.
I just checked and my account still says 5GB limit
