Sony Xperia Z and ZL are attracting my attention but there is few thing that I still don't like first one I don't like that ZL has camera at the bottom and that they both are comming with Android 4.1. But let's hope that it is only rumors and camera will be at the top and OS will be Android 4.2. At the moment everything elese looks fine for me. :)

yea battery is a must now a days, but lets not panic if its not an extremely high capacity like 3000 mAh! Because maybe this time around Sony has done a bit of "optimizing" ;)

We'll see soon enough :)

9. emadshiny posted on 03 Jan 2013, 03:21 3

3000 mAh would be perfect, but if Sony uses a bad battery like those of HTC, i will not buy it
in that case i have other choices i my mind, like SGNote2 with its powerful battery

13. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 03 Jan 2013, 03:27 1

htc's batteries are not "bad" man...........just not as "excellent" as some like the motorola razr maxx

by bad i don't mean bad quality, i mean the batteries HTC uses for its phones can not support their high specs well
look at butterfly, 2020 mAh for a 1080p screen phone is ridiculous

ummmmmmm i know what the numbers show.......but have you actually read any reports as to how those numbers hold up in real life usage??

They tend to be pretty decent given the low capacity count bro........numbers arent always everything, know what i mean?

I had a feeling its around 2200mah, but with sony proper optimize, this could be great.
Remember their 6000mah batt for xperia tab which provide 9-10hrs of web browsing. Compare that to other tab equip with 7-10kmah

I remember reading the benchmark results somewhere, that said the yuga and the odin drained out of battery while they were being tested, I hope it has been fixed since. Really looking forward to this 5" beast

23. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 03 Jan 2013, 05:01 1

welp.........thats not a good report lol but lets wait and see the "final" report shall we? :)

They drained battery not while they were being tested with various benchmarks, they drained battery when they were wirelessly streaming 1080p video to the TV!

Except this is how you make a rectangular black slab with class. :)

Which itself looks like the Xperia GX seen from front.

Well, Sammy's got experience on phablets..

29. pyradark posted on 03 Jan 2013, 07:20 3

But never to a phone with water n dust proof. Take that hahaha

31. romeo1 posted on 03 Jan 2013, 07:49 0

probably with the new exynos
but im with sony any day because of their build quality an feel.
and sony was talking about a 6inch phablet wich was'nt going to use a nvidia or qualcom chip so probably one of sammy?

34. Pedro0x posted on 03 Jan 2013, 10:27 1

S4 Pro is weaker SoC than Exynos 5440, in CPU power they should be almost the same although Exynos should be 10% more powerful. But in GPU, adreno is much weaker than mali t-624 or 658. And Exynos supports newer technologies like DDR3 or USB3. Samsung will surely improve their build quality which I think is already good. And RGB OLED displays are much better than LCD:s, actually I would like to see WRGB OLED because it would have a perfect white.

35. PhoneArenaUser posted on 03 Jan 2013, 10:33 0

Eemember that there is such thing like a S4 Prime.

38. romeo1 posted on 03 Jan 2013, 21:12 2

I don't know the correct exynos names but is that the one that is coming in the gs4?

About the built quality i don't agree as the sammys feel really cheap and fragile the gs2 was flexible and the gs3 is glossy which makes it feel like a childs toy also the gs3 screen breaks easy.

About the screens you are wrong.
Oled screens don't give the right colors which is a bummer during movies.
Also oleds are losing their colors very fast indeed and that is not even the biggest problem cause the different colors are also losing their colors at a different rate like the blue ones are losing their color allot faster than the other 2.
And because the oled screens are oversaturated they lose detail.
But I do believe it could get better as lcd is almost at its end I think and oled is getting better and better.
But until that time i'm sticking to lcd.

40. Pedro0x posted on 04 Jan 2013, 03:00 0

The glossy part is a bummer and the ´´screen breaking´´ too but Samsung fixed that with Note 2.
About the screens, the reason why AMOLEDs are oversaturated is that the manufacturer calibrates the screen colors. I have a phone with AMOLED and colors are great because I have calibrated them to my liking. AMOLEDs have much higher refresh rate, contrast and can have much higher brightness than LDCs. AMOLEDs are thinner, OLED technology is the future.

at the moment OLED based screens has more disadvantages than advantages and those disadvantages are pretty essential.

In my opinion there is four main OLED based screen cons:
1) Really short lifespan (due to organic compounds degradation).
2) Can not handle intensive "working load" and it expressed as 'Burn-In' effect (also due to organic compounds degradation).
3) Colors are not natural.
4) Relatively not so clear and sharp images.

I have AMOLED and never experienced burn-in or color degradation. Colors can be calibrated. I believe AMOLEDs are the thinnest screens so they should have the sharpest image if they are RGB. If AMOLED is RGBG than it is not as sharp as a same AMOLED which is RGB because it has 50% more subpixels. You must use SAMOLED Plus to achieve the best experience.
