    there is only 3 cons with z1, charging so slow, storage is not enough after several months, and the loudspeaker quality is very bad and does not loud enough.. but otherwise it is really great phone.

        Camera is like 8 mp and no good qiality. I also have an lg p880, an s4 and a g2. I bough this phone for the 20 mp cameta. If sony can not fix the problem with an ota update i must return the phone back. I like the phone but where are the 20 mp?????

          RE:pick pic camera app. Im more concern about the default camera app of z1.

          RE: sir youre talking about the old sony ericson camera features like the cybershot that can easily capture any moving object. Sony smartphone still dont have that feature. And im sure soon sony will also add that to the coming new smartphone. Its their marketing strategy.

            I have this phone two days now. I also have a p880, s4, g2 and other older models. Z1 works perfect except the camera. I took it for its camera. Even with manual settings i can t have one good photo. They are like a poor 13 mp or a 8 mp camera. ( i m working in a company who sales mobiles, etc). I went back and try z1 compact. The same. Noise, blur, fog????????? I cant describe it. I dont now the correct words .When i zoom in the phone or in my pc a little, the photo hasnt any detail. Why? Is it software or hardware? 20 mp mast give better detail at the zoom of a photo. I havent try it inroom yet. Iwill go to sony tommorow to find out what happens. Xperia z has more detail at zoom.

                Hey GUYS!! I just notice after the 4.4.4 update Sony include better camera experienced. And i notice the picture quality doesnt change at all its still the same quality just like the previous version. Only the fast camera app openning was changed and thats fine with me. I hope sony also include the picture quality just like in xperia Z2!! Because they have the same camera hardware sensor specification! I hope they will include that on the next update!!

                  I have recently purchased Sony xperia z1. I found that picture quality of moving objects are not so good. I have check all modes like burst mode, manual (20.7 px). Is it possible to improve it by any software.
                  (For test example: I tried to take a picture of moving ceiling fan). Ordinary Kodak 9.2 mega pix camera was showing clearly all three wings of fan but it was none with sony xpreia z1

                              for those guys who have problem with camera .
                              just go to setting , apps , camera and clear data it will be ok you have to do that especially after upgrading.

                                  This gadget is awesome; the camera, user interface wow, was using Samsung note 2 and I gave Sony a try, now am a happy user. I'm impressed, keep it up Sony and soon I will be moving to Xperia Z2.

                                  Sony user for life*******

                                    I just did update for my z1 to latest version ofnkitkat 4.4.4, i think camera become better but still battery draining fast, stamina mode didn't work propably, i use stamina and still get notifications.
                                    sound good.

                                    all in all become better but still need fix bugs of battery and stamina mode

                                      I purchased this phone locally (www.netshop.no) and I've had it since November 2013.
                                      Camera is excellent, and takes amazing pictures with sufficient light. At night and dusk it's not too nice, and the noise is very visible on the pictures.

                                      Sound quality is also very good, and the video quality is very good.

                                      Battery time is poor to mediocre, depending on screen-usage.

                                      I have to charge every afternoon, and the battery is really suffering when the screen is active.

                                      GPS/Glonass works really well, and I have been GeoCaching/TerraCaching with my phone. Better reception than my Garmin GPSMap 62st.

                                      I will try custom ROM when the warranty runs out.

                                      Performance is good, but it slows down after a few days, and needs a reboot to get back to speed. This also happens after the 4.4.4 upgrade.

                                      My phone was also a victim of the bad assembly glue, and was sent to service for replacement of display, rear-glass and battery.

                                      All in all I'm happy with the phone, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a phone that takes amazing pictures in daylight. :)

                                        After update to latest update 4.4.4,battery last longer,camera less noise,no more sudden restart,less heating and phone recharging shorter than before.don't blame the phone but blame the os itself which is still new and need more improvement.even windows 8 is not a perfect os.only updating the os will solve some issue in the phone.i'm very sastified with my phone.
