They also have a Snapdragon 600 variant but still lags! HTC One is even much better even if it is clocked at a lower speed 1.7 GHz vs 1.9 GHz on the GS4 so what would you expect with the Z and ZL that only use Snapdragon S4 Pro which is a generation older than the 600?

Z Ultra doesn't have a flash and I was disappointed with it but maybe the focus there is more of just having a big screen and the screen being touch sensitive to any kind of objects especially in writing. It is not focusing on photography but this Honami phone focuses on the type of people who love taking photos with their phones.

                This time Sony made it right with the Z Ultra phablet, the screen is now amazing so stop hating and see for yourself first. It is no longer like the Xperia Z/ZL with poor viewing angles. The colors now with the Triluminous screen looks on par with other phones especially this one is only at 5" so this will be sharper than the phablet!

                  Blah blah blah...

                  You all want the best, but such thing as an absolute doesn't exist. All brands have drawbacks, all of them.

                  The best can only be the one you like the most, the one you love the most. That's it. The same as the best is always YOUR girlfriend, cause is the one you like the most and the one you love the most.

                  So kids, stop arguing!

                  Btw, the best for me is the Lenovo K900, my girlfriend and my mom.

                    It's not luck of innovation or technology that formal xperia phones were not top of the Smart phones. It was jxt a mere neglect. Sony taught it was not necessary to put all these high tech in a phone. Now that Sony has realise this is all the market needs, we are going to see the real power of Sony will marvel all.

                    Jxt believe and keep fingers crossed.

                      AnonD-128077, 01 Jul 2013mobile bravia engine is a gimmick, see for yourself xperia ... moreWrong, you obviously know nothing about the technology, so quit pretending you do. Mobile Bravia may be a gimmick, depending on who you ask, but it is no more so than the saturation on AMOLED screens. It's unnatural, and its main function is to make people think the screen looks better than it does, but some people like it. Same for Mobile Bravia.

                      Triluminos, on the other hand, it not a gimmick. You clearly don't understand that Triluminos is a brand new HARDWARE technology, not a software trick like Bravia engine. Triluminos uses quantum dots to produce purer colors than any other display on the market. This means it will have better colors AND be more efficient than other screens. Neither HTC nor Samsung have anything that can compete with this.

                        Triluminous and X-reality are not gimmicks as they are already proved by the Xperia Z Ultra.

                        They should have killed you in Sparta,but ofcourse you are from "Meet The Spartans."

                          i'm sure it will destroy honami sales

                          and in 2014 they will be beaten again by other competitors, just like last year

                            now x-reality will just be another gimmick, so do triluminous, it will be beaten to dust again when One and S4 successor comes out

                            even when your say triluminous its a tech from sony bravia, they will not perform the same when it putted on mobile phones, just look at nvidia how badly they SoC perform ini mobile world, same goes for sony display

The Galaxy S4 doesn't have a 3000 mah battery, the HTC One doesn't have a 3000 mah battery. Nothing in this size range does.

                              Having said that, the Honami probably will have a 3000 mah battery. :)

And movie m... moreThat is a matter of opinion as whilst I have had the S3 and still have the S4, my go to phone when watching movies is my Xperia Z. It produces naturally colours and the only weakness is viewing angles which is not an issue for me as I watch my movies head on and not from the side. By the TFT is a form of LCD and AMOLEDs still have a TFT layer the main difference is that TFT LCD needs a backlight but the AMOLED emits its own light.

                                    By the way, I would like to give you an illustration on how good triluminous display with x reality engine is..

                                    As we know, triluminous display is a tech from sony bravia lcd tv

                                    I often asked tv resellers everywhere about which lcd tv has the best quality, and guess what.. All of them said SONY has the best quality

                                    Then I asked about the quality of samsung tv then most of them said, "in terms of quality samsung is worse compared to sony, but if you want to play around with gimmickal features, buy samsung, but if you want quality, buy sony"

                                      Last year, I prophecied that 2013 will be the year of SONY because SONY will make a smartphone that will absolutely destroy the others. And Good God, I was correct.

                                      My prophecy is realised when SONY make xperia Honami.

                                      Samsung S4 Zoom will probably have a very good camera, but 540p screen, dual core processor, and shoe like design really are a letdown

                                      Nokia EOS will probably have the best camera but Good god, Nokia should move to full hd screen and quad core processors

                                      As far as camera performance goes, I think honami will get second place, but it has amazing triluminous screen with x reality engine, powerful snapdragon 800 processor, beautiful water proof design (useful.if you want to take underwater photos), and a walkman audio chip for great audio quality.

                                      Yes, compared to nokia eos and s4 zoom, honami has the best all around performance.

                                      By the way, the haters on this page are very immature and ignorant judging from their comments
