I have to agree, while both are great and nick to nick, the Z1 should be better as Sony worked harder in it...
I might not have Z1, neither do I have the 5S, but what can I see here is that Sony still didn't have the full optimisation they can ( or should ) do in the software side... and also we used to know this habit from Sony where a future software will greatly improve the camera performance...
The problem is: Websites review doesn't do a re-review in most cases and doesn't update most devices... so what ever problems that any device will launch with, these will stay in the eye's of reviewers and coz a lot of normal peoples will read these reviews to take the final decision of having the phone... well you know the rest...
Apple is well known to take care of perfecting the software before the launch, thought there's a lot of exceptions ( Apple Maps as big example )... but in general Sony should work more on perfecting the software for the launch... as this is what all the reviews will have in general...

@owlsfan_72 please tell us exactly what you did to improve your screen because my screen is also not the best kind and any change for the better would be welcome. |

Taiwan panel makers see
steady smartphone panel
orders from Sony
Sammi Huang, Taipei; Alex Wolfgram,
DIGITIMES [Friday 4 October 2013
Taiwan panel makers are seeing steady handset
panel orders from Sony Mobile for use in both
the mid-range and high-end smartphones.
Sony is REPORTEDLY allocating some high-end
panel orders to AU Optronics (AUO) for 5- and
6.5-inch units, while Innolux and Chunghwa
Picture Tubes (CPT) are receiving orders for
panels used in mid-range units. AUO is also
supplying a large volume of smartphone panels
for use in Sony mid-range smartphones.
Japan-based JDI meanwhile is expected to
supply Sony most of its high-end handset panel
demand in 2013.
Sony aims to ship 42 million smartphones in
2013 followed by 65 million in 2014.
www.digitimes.com/news/a20131003PD209.html
Imo, i believe AUO will be main supplier coz i dnt think Sony will rely only on one source.Could Sharp or Samsung also be provider?? Maybe Dacha or anyone else can confirm.
Also digitimes.com is not always accurate.

Does anyone know if the bundled headphones which came with my Z1 are waterproof or waterresistant? Because with their soft rubbery layout and buttons, they look like it and with the Z1 being waterproof and its waterproof headphonejack it would make sense if the bundled headphones are waterproof as well?
It doesn't say anywhere, but who knows?
This is how they look: http://www.amazon.de/Sony-Eri[....]1&keywords=m1hc+sony+livesound
The model that comes with the Z1 is the M1HC which uses a different audio standard but is otherwise the same. |

That's the poorer one. Colours shift when viewed off angle. Brighter colours, like pink, tend to shift towards yellow or white, when they shouldn't. |

@sponse
Better compare your 3rd Picture with TX as shown here

As compared to your Display TX is much better
check the 3rd Photo
You will get it

Look and compare the 3rd and 4th pic you have posted... It's quite clear how the viewing angles are not good in that Z1...
Frankly speaking, all the Z1's pics of display I have seen on the net, all have weak viewing angles... The displays might look good on some pics but overall all displays have been same as of now...

i deleted the stock pics. if someone can upload that one in full size somewhere so i can download it, i can take pics of my Z1 with it and post to compare
that being said, i'm actually very happy with my screen. i haven't come across any thing where i felt like i was being limited by the viewing angles and i watch a lot of hulu, netflix, amazon on my phone.. dark and light scenes look fine. there is some shift if the angle is off, but not so much that i can't see what's going on or it looks like a horrible image.

tbh, i really couldent care less about the viewing angles... i will never look at my phone at these angles.. i wanted to know if the contrast, color an so ecc, was as good as on other z1 out there, but i guess they are. i will buy this beast next week, and then i will burn my crappy galaxy s1 haha |

my first charge on my battery i got around 19hours one first charge. with around 3hr 50mins on screen time. Overnight (6hours) it went down like 4%.
i did calls txts web browsing maps. games as well as downloading a lot of apps.
my Reception seem to be improving a bit which i think is kinda strange |
