        all of the said improvement is true, but white balance is a nonsense,recently apps interface toggling has log, captured image and album viewer also has log, i also experience that i am reading one of my friend message and suddenly i receive new message from my other friend and view it in the notification screen without leaving the message that i was reading before and after press the new message i arrived at the message that i was reading before.. there is also a bug on the camera when you select hdr+ scene in normal mode the flash button is read only and wildly it toggle on and off.


        and by the way sorry for the english..

                    Look at the leaves of the trees, they finally solved the problem. Before the colors were messy, now are more realistic. However, should now do the same thing with the other models, who are afflicted with the same problem! (ex. Xperia T, S etc)
                    If someone can tell me where I can possibly claim Sony... thank you.

                      I expect this update to come to the xperia sp and l, because both have a great sensor that can perform better than the iPhone 5

                              You're talking about something you don't know much about.
                              I extensively compared my Z's camera to one of the iPhone 5's from work and in no way the the iPhone 5's camera perform better. The Z beat it in every picture taken. Only the few were I increased the exposure value of of the Z did the iPhones come out better and that was my fault not the Zs. I posted the pictures over at xda in the Z forums and the evidence is clear.
                              You're listening to much to tech sites, many of whom have their own agendas.
