I have never seen a single person carrying a Sony device in all of my travels. My job takes me from NYC, Dallas, Charlotte, ect and not one Sony device. What does that tell you?

You need glasses. (also the US does not represent the whole world)

It tells us that Sony phones are not popular in the USA... yet. Kind of expected if they are not properly marketed. But there are a few more billion people outside of the US and apparently they have bought a lot of Sony smartphones recently as the latest sales figures indicate.

Who said they are expected, they are not popular bcoz... No sony phone has overpower Samsung bench marks right now.. and they release TOO LATE.... by the time xperia s released... Galaxy s3 released in 2 months and crushed it bigtime.. and even galaxy s2 had better processor with better bench marks.. what to say more..

I agree with your point about being late. If Sony say released late March that will surely be late April early May at best as per all previous phones..

Agree, Sony doesn't sells in USA at all, DROID DNA is released months ahead of these.. so owning a DNA makes sense right... XPERIA Z is too late sames specs

RIGHT NOW DNA IS BEST IN WORLD..
But here is my rating of all these phones.

1. Galaxy s4 and Optimus g2
2. Sony Xperia Z

3. ZTE grand s
4. Huawei
5. Vizio
6. Droid DNA ... it will be still competitive... so GET THE DNA if you want to buy now.. or wait for GS 4
7. Alcatel...

22. xSamx posted on 09 Jan 2013, 18:31 2 1

droid dna? only LTE 700, only 16 GB (11 GB user available) without card slot, only 8 mp camera, only 2020 mah battery and it is near 1 cm bigger than SONY XPERIA ZL( and i cant even find it in my country).......thx but no thx i will w8 for the ZL.

Unlimited data and cloud services.. do not need a sd card..

The battery performance is good for me and its TRUE Champion in stand by... and as its not in ur country I cant help it..

Are you sure about that "Doesnt Sell"

Plus Xperia is never been late, what ever Processor Sammy & others bought, Xperia Z design & build quality will kick them all :))

It is actually a matter of geographical dominance too!!
Here in India, if observation is anything to go by, i mainly see
1) Samsung
2) Apple
3) Sony/HTC
Moto and LG are rare

"Add the 13 MP Exmor RS camera with HDR video capabilities, and the Xperia Z will very well climb on top of the smartphone ladder when it launches this quarter."

Don't think your precious DNA is the best phone in the world right now, to be honest.

Also you don't know how good the gs4 or g2 will be, so that's really just speculation, they may also have 2gb RAM and a Full HD screen etc etc and be another one of these generic 5"'s at the minute for all we know..

ehh it doesn't matter how many carry what phone for me, while i want a premium brand phone (not some brand no one has heard of or thinks is cheap), after that i will choose the best phone available :) sony, samsung, htc, motorola, lg, apple or nokia, doesn't matter which i will choose the best phone available.

That Americans know nothing but s**t about technology. Proof? Vizio is the #1 TV company in the US. Not to mention Apple sales.

Thanks Daniel, and good work.......thumbs up to you.......... I asked you to add those two phones also, as I wanted to save this page, for reference and comparing all the models at one place....... In future after mobile world congress you can add other new FullHD phones also to this very same list, so that we have all the FullHD phones on one page for comparing.......... Cheers and thanks again........ :)

I don't expect idiots to understand that simple designs can be the best.

FYI information XPERIA Z with BRAVIA ENGINE is the best screen on the market! Just see screen comparison on YOUTUBE XPERIA Z VS HTC BUTTERFLY and ull knw which one is better

The lenovo is the only one that lets you uninstall there skin, now that is a selling point. Also the phone is not much bigger then the note 2 phones ate getting big deal with it.
