SGS4 and iPhone5 will suck on viewing angles compare to white magic. How do i know? White magic gives viewing like a floating display on side view. I've seen S3 and iP5. Have you seen White magic?
        It seems you dont know what you're talking about.

          Vewing angles are very imp for a phone atleast for a 5 inch phone. Whats the use of a big screen if we cant watch it when we place it on the table. White magic display was a big failure . Becos its performance was never upto the mark (look for the review of xperia p in gsmarena ) . And as for bumping up the specs , in this highly competetive market crowded with phones, I dont think bumping up the specs will just be enough .

                  So many fanboys feel insecure lol...
                  Just wait and see until the phone released and reviewed. It's a beautiful muscle phone indeed.

                    AnonD-55425, 08 Jan 20132,330mAh for a 5" phone with quad-core? I'm sure it... moreSony disappoints their fans again and again with something! I don't understand why they don't add a 2800 mAh of battery on their high-end phones? Motorola's X phone will have again a 3300 mAh of battery, or even more. The Galaxy S4 will have a battery around 3000 mAh I suppose.

                      2,330mAh for a 5" phone with quad-core?

                      I'm sure it lasts 3 hours under heavy usage, simply pathetic.

                      I may think about this IF they or any 3rd-party store made an extended battery cover. What a waste of beautiful design.

                              I think Sony just run out of the alphabet.. I'm wondering about their next naming scheme. Why not just go the Mercedes way, the 300 SL has been sold for ages, it's the year that makes the difference. Simple as that.

                                    almost perfect... battery is just a so so ok atleast it has a 2,300 mah. If i am a fan of HTC butterfly I'll definitely switch here due to butterfly battery capacity.

                                    Even though Samsung will release its S4 I'm pretty sure the S4 will be faster speed, longer battery life and latest update OS to Xperia Z. But with this specification and features samsung will be having hard time to compete in means in Build quality, Multimedia features and Opticontrast screen, and Walkman sound.

                                    Uhmm..this is weird question why is it people are so exaggerating in viewing angle? They want better viewing angles for what?

                                      I have always been a great fan of Sony/Sony Ericsson. All my phones till date belongs to them; k700, w700, w910, xperia neo, xperia p ... being said that I think sony have learned some lessons from samsung.

                                      1. People have symbolized iphone as the ultimate phone
                                      2. Make a cheaper, bigger look alike of the current iphone (1phone 5 n xperia z, iphone 3 and galaxy s)
                                      3. Don't worry about the patent, making your phone the best seller is important than loosing money on patent wars

                                      I wish xperia z does the same what galaxy s did to samsung. :D

                                        :D i like buzzes floating up here and there on how these phones be compared to an unofficial phone (s4) from samsung.. i know s4 will become 2013's smartphone again if sammy will listen to the concerns of the market.. ..if and only if.. u can prove that u can beat all 1080p displays out here even with this mobile BRavia 2, prove that u can make ur DESIGN more appealing and compact, make TOUCHWIZ more elegant coz im truly in love with the most elegant UI ryt now--Sony's timescape,.. add phone ACCESSORIES, improve BATTERY performance,use the newly released PROCESSORS, :D, hows ur camera then
                                        anyways u hav a lot of money now, so im sure dat u have a wild team ryt now which are really QUIET i think, maybe tremendously preparing for s4 release..

                                        more time to wait and compare the two :D march release for xperia Z, hoping that on march, samsung will make s4 official before the market turns in favor with sony..

                                        htc butterfly, how r u?
