      It's not good enough.
      I imagine the ad:

      We have the third (or even the fourth) best camera phone!, yeah! Just behind Nokia 1020, 808 and N8 (bigger sensor and xenon flash)...

      My N8 takes better pictures than most 1/2.3" point and shoot cameras, no matter pixel count, so...

      Please Sony, give us some REAL sugar...

Plus, not all of us here know how to adjust these settings properly and/or own a DSLR camera or have it with us all the time.

            xenon flash bla bla bla... if i want to use flash then i will use my dslr camera not from phone. i have iphone 4s, xperia z, and i never use flash when i want to take picture in low light condition. i set manually iso, white balance, exposure etc and the result better than directly using flash.

              Trolls are Gonna be Trolls only. If you dont wanna buy this monster, then dont, why do you come with so stupid reasons:

              - Ultra Z which is a Phablet meant for Business and Premium users
              Trolls: Oh this don't have a flash, I wont buy it, how will I take pictures in night. I will buy S4

              - Z1 Honami - Meant as Premium Smart phone feature packed and not a professional camera
              Trolls: Oh, this thing does not have a Xenon flash, how will I take pictures in night. I will buy Nokia Brick without any other features

              - Future Sony Smart phone which again would be premium and beautiful and feature rich
              Trolls: Ph, this thing does not have a projection light or search light, how would i find any one in jungle in night or light up my home with a small 3500mA battery.

              Trolls: Give yourself a little air please. If you dont wanna buy then dont, dont come up with stupid reasons that would make you look even more paid trolls here. Also, cannot use AMOLED as water resistant screen. It would stop working. Thats why plastic sammy also used LCD only on S4.

              Now come with something concrete if u wanna prove this monster to be less than anything in market. Dont talk like Naive here.

The LED Looks the same as on other Sony Xperia Devices. I'm Hoping it would be better. If it is, I would have no issue with it not having a Xenon Flash.

                I've been following up with this phone, and i'm interested.

                In comparison to the acro s, i'm just hope that the Speakers (sound), camera( including LED and Camera Software) are up to Standard.

The phone has great all round specs and is not meant to be camera centric hence the best of Sony tagline! It incorporates all that is good about Sony in one product and Sony is great at a lot! Want professional pics go get a DSLR, I much prefer it to carrying a phone brick masquerading as a camera around in my pocket.

Wait for its release and make a judgement then rather than speculating from a perspective of not knowing at all. Personally, I have high aspirations for this phone and so long as it is significantly better than the Xperia Z, that is good enough for me. I do not compare Sony with other brands as their products are in a class of their own! All said and done whether I buy this will depend on how it feels in my hand, the XZ is one I considered at the limits of what I feel comfortable using. Waiting to see...

                      why gripe so about lack of xenon? it's good enough for most situations..you've seen the best (1020) so now try the rest!

                              Just put it there and the magnet will fix it, then you are alredy done. And i guess you can set it up to launch the camera when the lenses are attached so it's easy to make it ready.

                                Where have all these Nokia fanboys come from? Oh yeah, they've jumped off their sinking ship to throw empty insults from a distance... Can't shoot down a Hurcules warplane with a spud-gun boys lol :)

                                  LMFAO... I can almost guarantee it won't have a 1/2.3" sensor on it. Fanboys come up with so much BS it's not funny.
