Just been to the Sony centre at Chapel Street (Melbourne, Australia) as the phone is not released here yet... They had ONE unit in a plexi glass display under lock n' key and the back of this demo unit had two major issues. 1) a TONE of finger grease- as mentioned in the article (really an unbearable about of finger-print) 2) perhaps much more importantly: TWO HUGE scratches on that beautifully glass back-she'll. Definitely a deal breaker for me, especially the latter issue...

Guys, is there an auto rotate toggle from the quick settings widget, I can't seem to find it? Is there a way to add that function to the proprietary quick setting toggles in widget?
Thanks

The Xperia Zs released in Japan definitely has a gorgeous,vibrant screen comparable to current generation phones. Sadly, the international version has a crappy TFT screen.

The day time photos taken by the XZ are the best I've seen with a camera phone. True I haven't been wowed by low light photos with the lumia 920 and iphone 4s/5 giving subjectively better results.

I've got the idea something went wrong hear. The review seems more like an upgraded preview (not on par with most other reviews from GSMArena) and still lacks te battery test, which is an important subject for me.

sams sings, 02 Mar 2013yeah. people complain about the overly aggressive noise red... moreI just received my Xperia Z and it under performs, camera wise on every single aspect when compared to my Samsung S2.
Specially on:
- Color reproduction - almost always wrong WB
- Sharpness (excessive noise reduction and JPEG compression on the SONY)
I've played with the settings and I could never even get it to match my S2
Interesting as the Sony images average 2.6MB (13MP) and the Samsung ones 3.3MB (8MP)

This one i an example of both getting it wrong, the Bravia engine is making it too bright and too much saturation so the whole thing gets a bit red, while the HTC is doing something strange, no person has that tint to the skin, its like HTC mixed in a black tone. You can also see in the teeth that HTC is doing something very unnatural to the colors here.

Here is an example of Z being superior to HTC Butterflys LCD3.
http://s582.beta.photobucket.com/user/netbookc/media/XB1/vButterflyMO_7.jpg.html
Look above her head, the whiter area of the wall is faint on the HTC, but very pronounced and easy to see on the Z.
In addition the HTC has too cold whites, look at the background of the text under, it has a blueish tint to it. Weak but its there.
The colors look more washed out on the Z here, but seriously, look at her cellphone, does anyone think its gonna be Old Pink like that on the HTC display, would the poor girl walk around with an Old Pink phone? No one use that colro anymore, not for anything at all, esp not cellphone covers. Im sure the Z is showing the correct color here.
