Does anyone know if Z1 will have the stylus feature like the Ultra Z ?. I really like that the Ultra Z has the ability to use practically anything as a stylus but it's way to big for my purposes.

Wait for S5 Snapdragon 1000. or a bit more and wait for S5 Active SnapDragon 1000. or a bit more and wait for S5 True Octa.. Or maybe a little bit more and wait for S5 64-bit True Octa.. Then comes the Note 4.. but wait.. After a few weeks comes the Note 4 SD 1000, or maybe Note 4 True False Octa, Then True Octa.. And so on.. LOL.

I want to upgrade but i have the Z1... moreI wud say if u can't wait get the note3 and if u can wait then go for s5 and if u can wait a little more longer get note4 .......note 4 wud have almost every thing the s5 have to offer like 16/20 mp OIS cam + XENON flash bigger battery etc..etc.. and note4 wud offer more features than s5 like samsungs trend however after all its ur decision ..btw i am waiting for note 4..till then i'll save money....cause i think note3 is not a very big upgarde from note2.but .i am sure note4 will.be a big upgrade from note2..however for someone who don't own note2 can get note3 with eyes closed ...gud luck.

Onestly in the first month I was obsessed with the S pen and the gestures and that bla bla bla but after the hype is over (in 1 month) I totally forget about the pen (unless in some photo editing app) and all the motions are turned off now :)
Get the Z1 quality materials camera all are the unique features which there hype will never end.

My question is; If the reviewers continue pointing out that the display of the Z1 isn't so good, how are they able to know that the pictures taken with the Z1 is so good? Coz am sure they take pictures with the Z1 and view it on the Z1, so whats the point? Hence after viewing the pictures, you comment that the pictures are good.

What do you guys think? I want to upgrade but i have the Z1, GS4 and Note 3 on my mind, seriously dont know which one to go for. I actually love the looks,strength,IP58 certification and the camera of the Z1 but some software tweaks on the GS4 like Touchwiz UI, air gestures, etc kept gravitating me to the GS4, likewise the Note 3 though there are no Air gestures on the Note 3 but still the S Pen works well. Also knowing that there is upcoming GS4 with Snapdragon 800 makes things more complicated for me. Dont know, i really dont know, please i need someone to put me through. I'm dire need of some unbiased opinions. Kindly communicate your opinions to me using this email address (prindorz@yahoo.co.uk). Thanks in anticipation of your understanding

Note2 night mode landscapes. Wish to test Z1 in the same conditions to see the difference. As I see them very good.

already used it, isnt all that good. Very similar to the Z and still not worth a swap from the One.

Now i love it and dislike Android and Dolphin, Chrome feels more efficient.

I went through many high end phones, Note 2 included, theres nothing there to impress me. It beats Xperia Z in good light but thats about it, Note 2 gave failed shots too often, and i saw the same with S4, and also with my relatives S4's. Sorry to say the truth is that 8MP 2011 SE Xperia phones does better on average, very few failed shots. Some of my Note 2 photos are the best phone photos i have, but also the worst ones, once i even got a shot that was so bad that i couldnt even make out what i had taken picture of, and with the heavy traffic (but flowing) that evening i simply did not have time to mess with settings to get an acceptable shot, i had to keep moving. Even if i did have time to adjust some settings i would not know where to start as everything was wrong with that photo, the Note2 didnt even try to focus, how to fix such a thing, when it just take the photo directly and get all settings wrong? I had turned off the led flash in advance, no other settings should be required for that shot. The worst still is that it wasnt even a very challenging shot, it was at night but the motive was close and well lit and had lighted signs. Very annoying when those things happen, and with Samsungs they do happen.
And the facebook pics of my sisters who both have S4? oh my god thats bad, i havent seen so many out of focus pics before, plus the low quality on clouded days. Nothing in the photos are in focus, but theres no signs of handshake. Details are gone and colors so washed out. But on sunny days their S4's has great details, well saturated, nice to look at. Samsung is great for the sunshine boys, the rest of us get better results on average with other camphones.
