            The camera quality is very bad. The photos are grainy and a lot of areas are blurry also.

                Sony at last as produce a Smartphone that meets up to there name,o.k the camera might be Top Class,but its the Volume from the Speakers that usually disappoints there phones,the Z1 will now be pressure on Samsung an HTC,as Samsung for so long as been able to produce phones with not alot off competition,so Samsung now know the Samsung Galaxy S5 as got to be a good Camera an Feature Smartphone to be succesful

                    The 20.7 MP camera is no gimmick, no joke. Photos are seen with tons of details and are ultra sharp. Clarity is pretty obvious . Looks are stunning with the aluminum frame and the glass front and back panel. I also do appreciate the photos that are included by gsmarena. I hope to see a lot more but taken in different locations.

                            Looks like a possible class leading phone from Sony.

                              AnonD-22824, 14 Sep 2013I have note2 and the camera on it even beats 13 mp xz and ... moreNote 2 camera it's just CRAP. I used to own Note 1,2, G nexus and S3, night mode it's just carp on all these phones and photos looks good only in the phone cause of Super Amoled and saturated colors when you print it out looks washed out, lack of details.
