Sony wont take the lead just because they introduce a phone with tegra 4 or s800. All the other manufacters are kind in sync with each other regarding chipsets, especially when most of them use snapdragons. The exception here being Sony... As always there will be a new flood of handsets utilizing the latest tech in q3/q4 so Sony wont take any lead on that front. I hope Sony brings other features like improved cameras, not just on paper which is the case with the z/zl, but for real. Something similar to what nokia did with the pureview. Or why not something like the padfone concept which I find really interesting. Since parts like processor, ram etc for a high end phones are near identical for each manufacter why not do something that sets you apart from the rest, something refreshing.


I think that specs do matter and providing premium specs in right time is what made Galaxy S series so successful. It's not coincidence that most successful phones (Galaxy & Iphone) are flagships. With Galaxy 4 being so weak that creates a perfect opportunity for Sony to replace Galaxy's status with one of it's phone and engage in a battle with Iphone.

Conflicting reports regarding AU Optronics' OLED production status

Simply put. They are struggling and Sony should not count on them.


In that case I prefer higher PPI (around 450) over OLED.

I don't know whether it's a good news or bad news, but Walkman is going to live through Xperia now Sony won't be making Walkman MP3 players anymore. So all Walkman tech will be used in Xperia.

F series walkman is the last ever Sony walkman player

Too bad. I love my Walkman Z. I was hopping they would release a Tegra 4 or 3 model with a 720p screen and on screen buttons with the same no existent skin on as the Z and F.

Sony's announcement this month that it is ending production of the Walkman, its iconic device first launched in 1979 and a testament to Japanese postwar ingenuity, symbolises the passing of an earlier era.

So Sony decided to support FireFox OS, nice but I'd prefer Ubuntu Touch anyday.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. A lot seemed to have happened here.

1. Why do you guys worry about ZTE? They sell phones only in China and a few European markets. Also its only an announcement and won't be released before Sony. Plus its only clocked at 1.5ghz. Also these Chinese companies like ZTE, Huawei and Oppo do ZERO optimisation. Their S4 pro phones perform way worse than Xperia Z. So a ZTE phone with s800 will be only slightly faster than the Z.

2. Xperia Z will be upgraded to S600 but not very soon. You should remember Qualcomm is ending S4 pro supply only by May and Sony must have a lot of S4 pro chips ordered. So only when they run out of S4 pro chips will they switch to S600.

3. I don't see how Sony is "behind the times". With S600 Sony is at par with Samsung, HTC and others.

4. Don't go by Nvidia presentation slides. They have been showing such slides showing stunning performance numbers but when actual products with their chips come out, they always disappoint. Be it original Tegra or Tegra 2 or Tegra 3. They were all worst of the bunch. I don't see how T4 will be any different. Not to mention Tegra 4 devices will be as hot as a frying pan and have piss poor battery life.

5. ArnahaHunter, as Dacha said already ZL would be sold unlocked soon. And as ZOMG said, Z is coming to AT&T and ZL is coming to T-Mobile. Somewhere around April.

6. There won't be any 1080p OLED panel phone this year from Sony. 1080p OLED panels are far from ready. Also Sony won't use 720p or lower OLED panels either AFAIK for this year.

As an average consumer I don't care about what crap processors are in there.
So it will not affect Sony's sales number.

If only ZL wasn't way way way way way too expensive... $800 for a phone is insane.

I'd beg to differ Dacha, from latest info AT&T will sell the Z. ZL will be taken by T-Mobile. Talks with other carriers are still going on.

While it'd be nice to get the ZL when it comes with the S600 processor, I suppose that won't be until later in the year and I can't wait that long Ah well, S4 pro is more than nice enough. Hope the display is calibrated all nicely out of the box

Can't wait! My x10a is pissing me off to no end. Just another month or so to go...

Now the Xperia Tablet Z is official for international launch, I might have to think about this! While I do have my Tablet S, and it's great, the Z just looks so damned sexy! I might try to hold off until the tablet after the Z... whatever that is, or whenever that's to be expected.
