What type of VA panel are they using?
I've always preferred SPVA over IPS, and VA in general because of the better contrast and VA panels don't produce white glow when viewing a dark image from an angle.However, AMVA and other VA panels are nowhere near as good as SPVA.
Video's I've seen on the Z1 show viewing angles very similar to the Z and I'm pretty sure the Z doesn't have a VA panel. |

so there is no panel that has great contrast and great viewing angle at the same time? |

OLED/AMOLED?
I think SPVA panels have great viewing angles with only minor contrast shift at off angles.

If we compare only native LCD panel technologies then yes there is none with perfect viewing angles and highest possible contrast at the same time.
Only OLED and Plasma  |

There's also an initial hand on from techradar....

EDIT:
OLED!!!  The display of my PSVITA it's astonihshing... I bought it last week and I remained litterally amazed by its display... you can view it from 90° and still it would not change colours... It's perfect!
PS: why Sony do not use OLED in phones? high costs?

Even that I do not like big phones ... this one is very nice one,from the side it even reminds me a bit of my old Sony Ericsson P1i,but much thinner ...
Worst is that I can have it in 2 weeks time from my provider with a very good deal.Very very tempting .
Should I wait for the rumoured Z1 Mini or go for this one is the question ...

Hi, from Spain! I am impressed with this xperia Z1, and i have pre-order one from Sony.
My question is, some of you has the chance of test the speaker's sound?
IMO the speaker in z1 is one of the best improvements over xperia Z.
Thanks! |

As long as it don't have problem with head on viewing experience, I don't care and personally never ever fond of wide-viewing angle as spoiled tech bloggers usually claim.
I have no preference to share my screen in public.

I think I wasn't very clear. 
VA panels do not have poor viewing angles, just that compared to 178 degree viewing angle of IPS panels the VA panels have about 150-170 degree viewing angles. So Z1 by no means has poor viewing angles, just 10-20 degrees or so less wide than LG G2.

Xperia Z1 competition: not so good news for the Z1.
In Sony home market (Japan, where xperia A outsold galaxy s4 1,300,000 vs 700,000, but where iphone is king) Docomo, the main provider of sony phones, should start selling the iphone 5S in september (read from a reuters article).
Also, docomo should not continue it's "two top" strategy offering discounts for Xperia A and Galaxy S4, but now have a "three top" strategy, with discounts for Xperia Z1, the new Fujitsu phone and the new Sharp phone.
Personally it will be interesting to compare the new fujitsu and sharp to z1. Sony has a nicer design and build quality. The shutter button I also like a lot.
Fujitsu generally crams much more cutting edge specs, with fingerprint reader, hardware stabilisation and 64gb memory, waterproof, but the phones are bigger and the battery life not so good. They will start delivering snapdragon 800 so the software might not be optimised as previous models were on tegra.
The sharp should also be on S800, of course have a IGZO screen, so I hope for a good screen and battery life. They also make waterproof models and hardware stabilisation. The build quality is inferior to Sony IMO.
The Sony has an edge because it is global and will be easier to get roms etc...
But i hope sharp and fujitsu start sell their flagship globally as qualcomm modems allow to be compatible with every network and softbank/sprint may offer opportunities to export (and softbank and sharp are like best buddies as sharp helped kick start the carrier of Masatoshi Son, and always provided sharp phones, so I do expect him to help sharp out).
Anyway, this will be exiting for me, I am looking forward to trying it all!!

"Let’s tackle the screen first
It’s a really great screen. Sony have put the time and effort into it, and I put it amongst the best on the market. However, it’s not quite there still.
I would be over the moon with it had I not I put my OPPO Find 5 next to it. The viewing angles aren’t quite as good as the OPPO (although far better than the Z), and for ultimate crispness the Sony just loses out.
Considering that I rate the OPPO Find 5′s screen as the best I’ve ever used, I was setting the bar high. The Sony will, however, give the Samsung Galaxy S4 a run for its money, with only the extreme viewing angles letting it down."
Well it seems a good review I am so buying this beast  |

DoCoMo should allocate 32GB ROM for the SO-01F considering the amount of bloatware they have.  |
