    Anonymous, 24 Feb 2013A 1080p TFT screen with bad viewing angles is what you want... moreYou want and like the bad angles, reports of washed out colors and short screen-on time (4 hours+). Go get it. It's your US$900+. It does look good.

      Screen) OK I've heard so many people talk trash about the screen.

      But I've have seen close up vids of the display and it looked nothing like what the haters talked about it actually looked amazing.

      Speaker) I've heard people complaining about the speaker yet it's freaken loud

      Camera) I've heard haters say the camera is not that wow yet the vids and pics it capture look good actually better then the ones on gsmarena

      Battery) I've heard people talking alot about the battery being bad but I've heard of people having 40-50% left at the end of the day with moderate to high usage I've heard of heavy power users having 12 hours of use out of their xperia z's.

      You can check out the xperia z forums regarding battery real world user testimonials.

      GSMarena is full of haters.

      HTC one is a good phone
      Galaxy S3 is still a good phone for 2012
      Xperia z is a good phone
      Galaxy s4 will be good

      All these phones have good features and software I dont see why argue over small differences. If we arguing with bb and apple fanboys then thats a different case But android to android is pointless.

        abro22, 23 Feb 2013Does this phone plays all movie formats like flv, mkv etc w... moreyes it plays all those video formats on the stock player i was even surprised that it plays mkv

        But if there is a file type it doesnt play you can download a video player that supports the format you want from the play store

          max, 24 Feb 2013Hey can sum1 from sony can adequately suggest me about this... moreDude Android is the best you will enjoy it.

          As a first android phone xperia z is a great start.

          There is so much you can do with an android mine is 3 years old but can still do more then all BB's and iphones

          Only thing with android phones is battery life people tend to leave apps running in the background then wonder why the battery is draining so fast.

          Keep an eye on what apps you download on it.

          xperia z when used moderately should last you 2 days but when used extensively should last you 12 hours.

              TheNeighbor, 23 Feb 2013A 1080p TFT screen with bad viewing angles is what you want... moreA 1080p TFT screen with bad viewing angles is what you want is it then, for $900+ in Europe.

              don't be stubborn, the viewing angles are perfect for me like this, don't want that people see what i'm doing next to me. it's a positive thing !

              by the way, there are plenty of videos on youtube , where you can see that the screen is awesome !

              Don't be ridiculous, for 629€ you got a lot for that money ! all those features + water and dust proof ! cmon

                      AnonD-101465, 23 Feb 2013I like the poor viewing angles !! cmon .. the phone is just... morei think that's a rather lame defense for the viewing angles. i like xperia z and i don't give a damn about poor viewing angles. however, privacy can't be used as a reason because even with the poor viewing angles, texts can still be legible from the sides. photos can still be perceived albeit with color and contrast changes.

                      please let's not make that kind of reasoning. sony xperia owners are more intelligent than that.

                      just say you don't mind about the viewing angles because you don't need them.

                                  Whats the use of those chart bursting benchmarks with just 4 to 5 hours of battery life on heavy use.qualcom did not not worry abt the battery just worried abt getting high scores in benchmarks not a smart move qualcom u better do ur maths or ask sony to put a little bigger battry or at least make it removeable like the galaxy x cover smartphone .....
