Just Checked some sony phones. And worth 1 thing. the support (service center) in indonesia is bad. not like samsung or blackberry, they have many service centers here.
That's why i dont want sony phones. besides that, sony has been disappointing in several few years ago.

I'm buying ZTE GRAND X IN next week and I want to ask you what you think about it. Spec here
I might switch to it and give lww to my dad or vice versa if it receive JB. I read that it will get in March 2013 (this month)
So, what do you think. According to unboxing videos it has AOSP UI which I like it
Edit: And how about Xperia J? Same spec like our phones with planned JB update
xperia j doesnt have same specs
our phones are better
but zte is better

Why do you want the official jb? You could very easily use custom fw. if the phone has better specs, it will be smooth too.

If I can do it, I will done that with my LwW. I have locked bootloader and 90% I'm sure this phones will be locked too.
Ok. There isn't any jb rom for locked right?
Btw, you could try wotan server, (I know it's not free, but considering you have two phones with un-unlockable bootloader)
Back on topic, I would go with zte as j specs are almost like ours, except the jb part. (Heard zte was better.)

Jb roms couldn't run on locked bootloader coz sony didn't released any official kernel, rom or sources for jb for our phones and will never do it. So we need custom kernels for jb which obviously need an unlocked bootloader.

Dont miss the ICON FARM!
Well, there is not even Z for ZTE GXIN and J anroid development forum is not that rich like this :/ I'll buy it but I'm not sure if I or my dad will use it
I don't know if this is bad news but ZTE Grand x In have x86 processor instead of ARM and some apps might be not compatible with it.

honestly i bought this devices mainly for gaming + multimedia, the + for this devices : 6.44 large screen (1080p), fastest processor at the moment (S800), Slim design & water resistant, i dun bother abt the camera at all, as i will use my S4 camera with so much function. color of this devices still a let down...dunno y compare with all my Sam S4 AOLED, Mega 6.3 LCD, Galaxy Camera LCD even Huawei Ascend P1 devices XZU UI just look so colorless except viewing photo on sony album, even so it feel over saturated with some color... as i just finish charging devices i need to use more to see if the triluminos really standout.

Will be testing my Xperia Z Ultra the same way as you did. But, it should gives me pretty great time with video watching on 6.4 inch display. LOL!:good:

Camera eq is acceptable. For cam whores, they are better off getting a Honami instead. Overall experience is great with this phone. Many people in my country is complaining of yellowish screen though.

update! screen were sharp, display color were great only with adapt lighting off, except white color wash out unless set to 100% brightness.
speaker sound goes soft after dip in water but sound not so low as XZ & S4 Active.
processor was so powerful, not sure cos of no root but every things was Damn fast. (every android i got 1st day rooted unless root not available)
gaming was super, playing Nova 3 was a shock with it vibration feedback i thought i was holding a X-box controller!
down point : XZU MHL is only 1.0, i just bought 1 MHL 2.0 adapter which can connect HDMI + USB card at the same time but XZU & XTZ not respond to it.
I can only said your eye got problem. You need 100% brightness!!! Oh my god!
How can you see the screen more than a minute with 100% brightness!
They is no washout issue in white as you mention.
I use default around 50% with adapt with lighting conditions and off optimize backlight. Vividness and pure black.

Hello everybody!
In the nxt year i'll buy the successor of my faithful Xperia Neo V, but In January is the CES, in March is the MWC and i don't want to buy a cellphone that will be obsolete very quickly, So I have taken the decision to buy a Win8.1 Tab (Toshiba Encore 64GB) to do a the "hard work", wait above June-July with my Neo V and buy a very powerful cellphone powered by Snapdragon 800 (Maybe the Xperia Z1s):fingers-crossed:
In my country, one of the carriers is selling a Nokia Lumia 520 in a very cheap price and I think this: With the Nokia Lumia i'll have more performance than with my old Xperia Neo V (I don't care the topic of Google Play vs Windows Store) I want to try WP8 And if I like the ecosystem maybe buy a flagship.
I have another little problem and is: Maybe i'll fall in despair and my only 2 options are: Moto G 16GB or Xperia SP and drop the buy option of the Toshiba Encore
go for moto g .. affordable low price upto update on the way .. google company , xperia sp is great but price is more compared to moto g and we can hope kitkat update but they release very lately

IMHO .. Z1s, or Z1 mini ... its worth to wait. S800, Adreno 330, 2 gigs ram .. of of that on 720p screen? the phone would be solid for next 2 years for sure.
I had Arc S before but it died, so i had to get 2nd hand used Neo V because it was damn awwsome back then.

Some days ago I was in a electronic shop and I tested the Z1 Compact a little. And I can say, wow! A very sharp display (compared to the sola) and the size is just perfect! The only thing which is just not handable is the ugly colour "splash" you can see when you make photos with flash activated ._.

Possible Specifications Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra
Emmanuel Jimenez |June 22, 2014 17:05| 0 comments
Sony not only launch a new flagship this year, Sony Xperia Z3, but could also launch another high-end smartphone a Sony Xperia Ultra Z2 . Now, they have released any technical specifications of this smartphone, it would be a large version of the current flagship, the Sony Xperia Z2.
So, count on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 until March, was the best processor that was available on the market. Although now available on Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, we can say that the difference between these two is not noticeable. Moreover, we can say that there is no user to be able to distinguish the level of these two processors. Also, keep in mind that this new Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra would have a 3 GB RAM. Again, it must be said that the difference between the RAM and 2 GB is ultimately not so remarkable, but the fact is that if you have to choose between a processor or better 3 GB RAM is better to opt for the latter option, because in the future it could itself be decisive. The internal memory of 16 GB would be, but could be expanded via a microSD card.
Sony Xperia Z Ultra
As the multimedia components are concerned, the Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra would have a 20.7 megapixel camera, the camera flagship smartphones from Sony. By the way, you could record as 4K. It would have a LED flash and a secondary camera of two megapixels.
However, the Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra screen highlights. It would be a 6.44-inch screen, slightly larger than the 6.3 inch screen of the Xperia Z Ultra. It is not known what the resolution of this screen QHD or whether it would be Full HD, but hopefully QHD because a larger screen, higher resolution is most decisive.
Of course, the Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra is waterproof and will feature Android 4.4.3 KitKat and operating system version. No news on the possible launch of the Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra, although it is possible that the presentation of the smartphone is made at IFA 2014, as in the case of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Lots of coulds and woulds.
Take it with a grain of salt.
And Z Ultra is 6.44 inches right? This says it was 6.3. Seems rather fake to me
Sent from my C6802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mexicano here.
The text is so large so I'll make it brief:
-Xperia Z ultra will have:
Snapdragon 801. Even though the 805 is already in the market
3GB for RAM
16GB ROM
20.7 MP camera with 4K capable recording
LED flash
6.44 inches
They don't know the real resolution for the phone. But they hope it'll be QHD
^ Remember guys, all the above information are simply RUMOURS.
The very slight cpu upgrade to Snapdragon 801 and the absurd 21mp camera and the pointless 2mp front camera makes it seem more fake.
Imagine the noise in the pictures at 21mp? Our current 8mp camera produces a lot of noise let alone 21.
13 or 16mp at the most is more believable. No way Sony will upgrade the cpu to 801 when 805 is already out...
