    AnonD-86903, 29 Jan 2013stick to your plastic man. and also to your low class sammy... moreWho mentioned Samsung? No one seems to compare Sony to Samsung more than you do.

    Insecure much?

    Fact is, it's the same Xperia alphabet phone over and over again. NO innovation whatsoever. NOTHING game changing about these phones. Sony is to phones, what Honda is to cars - a big fat whoop-de-do whatever. Next!

    I used to Love Sony back in the '80's and '90's. They were top of the game in everything. Fast forward to 2013 and they're surpassed by every other manufacturer in every market.

      [deleted post]LOL! How about your "Other" folder? How big it is?:)How many times you flashed your precious Nokia WP phone(if you have it) to clean the garbage taking up the internal memory.

        AnonD-102631, 29 Jan 2013hi Mr. i don't mean to be rude, but don't you think you... moreNo they are not being biased. They made a simple statement of wait and see because it might be worth someones wilds to do so. Simple as that. Meanwhile they are being trolled by butthurt sony fans turning it into something its not....and now i DO mean to be rude, but you just contradicted yourself by talking about biased, but you snuck in a biased and lame jab "I choose base on quality not quantity of crap on it"
        So dont go preaching

            We are talking about two FLAGSHIP releases near each other. And while the details may not be confirmed they are likely very close. Which leads back to the point of wait and see.

              Even S# has the same picture quality and still it does not have any problem.
              I dont think it will have with Sony with the spec.

                  hi Mr.

                  i don't mean to be rude, but don't you think your comments seems bias?

                  look around you, you seems lost your keen observation about techs. `there are variety of gadgets to choose from, and each one of us choose differently from any brand with their line-ups. Me, i choose a product for i believe in it. I choose base on quality not quantity of crap on it. We buy things that are fitted to our needs, not just wants.

                  And there's No gadget that is perfect to everyones' eyes. There's always loop holes....


                  thank you ;-)

                    I am comparing Samsung with Sony coz i know Sony Z is nice phone & Samsung is only company which is good as Sony.

                    Why should i told users to bye Samsung ? Samsung is not giving me any money for advertising so its straight n simple.

                        mm, 29 Jan 2013everything might be a matter of preference.. LCD and amoled... moreThat really depends. Amoleds arent extremely saturated. Just saturated and they do have the built in setting to change it. Most prefer the saturation, though some would rather softer colors. Also of course blacks and sunlight legibility are clear winner.

                            because only samboys try to convince others to buy their crappy plastics.

                                  Matt, 29 Jan 2013Samboys don't care if it's Pentile or not. They'll just see... moreeverything might be a matter of preference.. LCD and amoleds have their own advantages and disadvantages.. if Sammy will release more advanced super amoled with reduced oversaturation, then it myt b d best display ever.. in UIs, elegance (timescape) vs functionality (TWiz)..
                                  and another point that im after is thecamera, i have used the photo compare tool of gsmarena and havnt seen any Sony's phones even d 13mp ones that outperformd the Galaxy s3.. seriously, Sammy uses Sony's lens but sammy know how to optimized it..
                                  abt design, yeah im in love wd Sony's, abt 1p57, dont care, coz im not going to use my phone in very harsh usage bcoz i'll never know some problems will emerge..

                                    Design: we know Samsung sucks at design. S1 = iphone copy (which is an LG copy), S2 = alright design but still a little close to iphone design, S3 = FUGLY, if anything it makes everyone thinks a pebble is ugly as well (which is can be but not ugly vs. S3)!

                                    Water/ Dust Proof: I guess you don't live in UK or Middle East. I live in UK and boy do I get annoyed that I can't use my phone (and worry about it when if it gets wet) because its raining! Not sure where you are from but if you are from USA...showing your ignorance again. Same thing with LTE....LTE outside of US...is super expensive (expensive in US too I hear) and coverage is non existent outside of major cities not to mention no LTE in certain countries.

                                    Storage: check the specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z-5204.php

                                    It says it takes micro-sd unless GSMArena got it wrong! Also you have cloud option. I am happy with my Nexus 4 16gb so don't see a problem here. Plus stop storing your freaking porn on your phone!!!

                                    Barometer: yeh ok give you that one but its definitely not a deal breaker in purchasing decisions.

                                    Screen type: LCD no doubt won't be AMOLED, thank heavens! If over saturated and completely unrealistic colours is your thing then go Samsung. My wife has S2 and the colours annoy the crap out of me!!!

                                    Processor power: Read the specs please. We know the processor model so we know what to expect.

                                    Cam clarity, Call clarity , Battery Endurance: As you stated, lets wait for the reviews to come in. No doubt it'll be as good as Samsung if not better!

                                    Final choice is ours but with crappy input from people like you. I might as well buy an iphone and join the Apple iSheeps!

                                    Thankfully I have Nexus 4!!

                                      i dont think water resistance is good in a phone. no water gets in no air get out. using a quad core processor it will easily get hot

If you dont know the air pressure at sea level (P0 [thats a zero]) then you do not need to know air pressure (P) as well. Just read a book about meteorology for pilots and you will understand why its a waste of time to carry a barometer. I read several books like that when i studied for PPL-A.
