I've just done a very quick shoot out on 2 different Z1's one using 4.3 with build number .290 the other on 4.2.2 on build number .257 both phones were set up the same 8MP manual mode 16:9 with scenes off, HDR off and image stabiliser off. Here or the shots let me know if you can see any difference 
UPDATE - NOW ADDED THE ORIGINAL SAMPLES
4.3 is up first

That looks like a real improvement to me. Much clearer shots.

@hihihans glad you think there has been an improvement in the photo quality in the 4.3 update not much of a photographer so not sure myself if there was an improvement or not hence why I uploaded them for people who know what there on about.

@XperiaJunkie I updated to .290 and so far it seems smoother, maybe a little faster, the camera does seem better in low light but I'll have to test it done more, but so far it's all good, I never new about the wallpaper in the message app though, cheers bud

i'm at .290 as well.
haven't had much time to play with it yet.. but so far performance seems about the same for me.
i am hoping for a big camera update in the near future. that's my wish. otherwise, performance with Z1 has been great. not a single complaint there.

Got my 4.3 update on O2... It seems fine! Although my phone froze for the first time ever today 
Also had a bit of an issue with my WiFi on 4.2... It seems to keep cutting off when I'm using the phone with Stamina mode turned on, anyone else having a similar issue?

Mine is updating to 4.3 now. Cant wait to see the difference.
The WIFI on mine (on 4.2) often would lose internet if the reception was down to 1 bar, it would say it was connected to WIFI but couldn't access the internet. Hopefully it will improve in 4.3.

pretty sure the auto focus has been much better like I said before with update 4.3. The first shots with the cola cap is a good comparison. It finds its focus much quicker and more accurately. Ppl said I was just imagining thing lol, Im surprise many ppl still havent gotten the update or still havent update. |

well guys my new screen arrived today and after 2hrs I had it installed, it is perfect as good as the screen that came out or maybe better, I didn't have the adhesive gasket seals as they haven't arrived yet but I wasn't going to put them in until I was sure everything was working 100%, once I get the seals I'll tear it down again and finish the job, everything went smooth - I took my time and made sure not to damage any of the circuit strips which are not shown in any tear down videos or guides, they are glued to the inner surface of the screen back so care needs to be taken when removing them.
All in all very pleased with the result, the viewing angles seem to be better with this screen but it's difficult to really tell as I thought my old screen was good too, yippie I now have the top 3rd of my touch screen back again, it was a pain in the arse trying use the phone without it
So for future reference if anyone else needs to do this I can offer some assistance |
