    I HAVE Z1 FROM ABOUT 7MONTHS,ITS THE GREATEST TELEPHONE EVER,as you get used to its size. Amazing and really waterpfroof camera,with that cpu even the hardest games run normally. Big display,but the very very best of this xperia is the battery. Twice more hours than iphine 5 ( already tested), video and surfing are very low consuming. 10+
    My next mobile phone will be Sony,recomend !

              Why Sony put a scratchable screen protector with Sony logo printed on it, on a scratch resist glass

Its even beat the iphone 5S as long as flash is not used. Its also beat the Nokia 1020 as long as we dont talk about zooming on pictures. Get your fact straight man i tested all those phone in person at the cellphone store i work at.

                  Anonymous, 16 Sep 2013From the start when the Z1 was first revealed at IFA and st... moreThe S4 is slower to open apps and webpage , lag , Camera is far from on same level of quality... Picture are sharper on the sony , you see much more detail on night picture on the Sony too and call quality and réception is way better on the Sony. For the screen color are more accurate on the Sony and brightness and sun viewing is also better but i admit viewing angle are less good but hey i look at my phone straight on its not like a lcd tv thats you need very high viewing angle so many many ppl can check at same time.

                    Got this phone since two weeks color are far from washed in fact they even better than on my HTC one.

                    Viewing angle is less good but far from bad and sunlight visibility is amazing.

                    Batterie is simply the best i saw able to run over 10 hours of full hd movie on a single charge where the only others who is close is note 3 with about 9.5 hours.

                                    z1's camera is miles ahead of note3 and gs4's camera,thats the majority sites is saying.

You are blinded by specs, probably because you only sit and read and have little or no real experience with what you are talking about, its very obvious you dont have anything useful to contribute.

                                        An old Ferrari may not have ABS and airbags and all kinda fancy accessories but is still a much better performer than a Corolla which have all those things. Obvious for the rest of us.
