Phone Arena are idiots anyway and they are also useless at camera testing and very biased towards Apple too. They did say that Sony have fixed the UI lag issues
Phone?? What phone??

Is this confirmed for sale in UK yet? I'd really appreciate the slighlty smaller size and camera button compared to the z.


This is the email I got from Sony. I asked the same question.

'Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre and for your interest in the Sony Xperia ZR.

Unfortunately we do not have any confirmation that this handset will be released to the UK market and it has been withdrawn from the Sony Mobile UK website.

We would suggest that you frequently visit the Sony Xperia website for further information regarding release dates for this product along with the features & specifications.'
If you live in a glass house, don't be chuckin stuff about.

Screen is reviewed to be better too, and besides 720p and 1080p difference is hardly noticeable compared to the original Z. TBH this is what the Z should have been, also with camera button, but still its good to know Sony is now addressing the issues in camera software jpeg processing unlike before, which makes me look forward to what Honami will offer when its released.

I'd say it's the JPEG engine that screwed bigtime on the Z, since ZR shared the same exact hardware with the flagship sans display. and it seems like ZR had used Honami's new processing algorithm like in the case of Z with Honami app installed. judging from the review It may appear noisier than those from S4 but there's plenty of details, I could care less on the luminance noise since they're perfect for BW photography and you have to do 100% crop pixel peeping on the small lines if you want to see how much details the S4 can resolve over the ZR which is marginal at best IMHO.

I literally LOL'ed at PA's ZR review. such utter bias that has gone beyond ridiculous. Either they were paid by HTC or Samsung or they just went full retard i don't know. that site should be taken down for good like alongside CNET

Was checking for the the z ultra on a shopping site here in poland and oddly enough the ZR popped up on the site. It is courtesy of tions, both black and white, with around 10 days for delivery. I haven't used or heard of tions before, anyone use it to buy their phone?

I'm having a hard time finding the Mint-Green ZR
Black or White is no problem.
