what is so special on xperia z or xperia design? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i bought 2 weeks ago a i9300. on i9300 android development much xperia z look roms, and i want know what is so special ? i find it generally xperia design & apps ugly and nothing special.
what do you guys think ?

For starters, Sony is very dev friendly and all of their devices have had the qualcomm SoC's meaning it makes for very good aosp roms. ^^

you can shower while using the xperia z. now that's hardcore for smartphone addicts.

You'll have to know, Sola is a bettter phone indeed but bear in mind, if u use custom rom, floating touch will kiss u goodbye

Better to go with xperia p at minimal. 1gb of ram will improve the phone capabilities considerably.

Why not choosing a galaxy nexus? Its getting cheaper now and so many devs there. And you wont get dissapointed with long term support of update from Google.

Or if you like me, Razr Maxx is not such a bad deal either
About Nexus Phone, i understand that there are peoples who likes pure Android experience. But it is truly for enthusiasts who are willing to add any feature by himself. For casual user though, if you already have satisfying experience with some maker's interface/functionality (Small Apps or Smart Action), the Nexus is lacking though.. But that's just my opinion..

Yeah agree, but I need a phone under 250 Euros. And by the way I'm an extreme fan of pure Android/ pure AOSP roms, but I love Sony phones and every stuff. I've got sony PlayStations, TV, media player, Radio, Hifi etc. . I would choose Galaxy nexus if it would be cheaper than 250 EUR. Any recommendations under 250.-EUR?
I've also been looking for a replacement for my Ray and I've found some interesting chinese devices ( not copies ) that look extremely good and with great prices...only bad thing is that their development section is almost inexistent...
Yo dawgs, thanks for everything, the help, good luck to all the awesome developers for Ray, glad 2 see the community growing, people helpin people, Sadly I can't take part of it anymore. bought a red Sola.

And your signature showing you've been running it at 2 GHz...................................................
Sola was a good choice in my opinion, just don't do the same mistake that you did with the ray.
the only phone that is actually an upgrade its the xperia SX... same look, better perfomance, better screen, same size..
MM but our single core is almost the same perfomance of st Ericsson dual core chips.

Sadly I can't keep it, it's a pain that I could never try Android 4.2, and lots of roms for Ray which I should give a try. I'm happy and I bought my Sola, waiting for amazon 2 ship it, but sadly realized that Sola has almost no development. Only rethemed roms by noobs, a miui port, and the FXP cm9 which is buggy as hell and lots of things not working. But I think Sola is great enough to use without custom roms. Sony promised JB so I ain't got no worries.

[6.1.1.B.1.100]Discussions[U][FTF Out]

A better question would be 'when'.
If this firmware doesn't bring down camera focus time to gingerbread level, then it's useless

Might be .89 or similar but for all regions instead of the previous limited release.

Still hoping for Official JB but.... F-, it's just a dream . Sony said that Xperia U won't get Official JB because of screen resolution.

That's buxxxxit! Sorry for the language (and I'm talking about Sony's statement!). Mobiles like Xperia J, or L has the same resolution as U but they got JB. My last hope is in FXP or even Sony releasing (after almost a year) a free-bug and speedy ICS release!

This is what sony says
Hi,
I understand your frustration. Believe me when I say we have really tried this. One difference of Xperia U and Xperia go is the screen resolution. This comes into play when in relation to RAM in the device. Xperia J is on another platform and Xperia E has the same resolution as Xperia go.
In the tests we made we felt that the user experience wasn’t good enough with Jelly Bean in relations to the few new features in that upgrade on some of the phones.
So there is a pattern in the update strategy. I’m truly sorry if this makes you like Sony a little bit less.

Thanks. As I've said previously, my only hope is the FreeXperia Team or a Sony ICS stock firmware at least decent (I'm on .54 and it feels laggy!). I'll wait to see if this .100 changes something for the better.
Open source archive is not changed as it was with .89 firmwire... so, it might be more reworked firmware
If anyone need link to open source archive 6.1.1.b.1.89 source
Hope this update....fixes
Slow camera & autofocus
Notification sound prob
Better multitasking
Ram management
#### mainly lags..it sucks

But unfortunately im going to sell my Xperia P and would be going for a new phone....So want some great help from you guys in choosing one...What would be the best one from the below...
Im looking for better battery (most important), Performance and Good Camera quality
Xperia S
Xperia SL
Xperia SP
Xperia V
Xperia T / TX
Acro S
And wht abt the Xperia Z..is it worth going for it coz i saw some bad reviews in gsmarena...
Thanks in advance friends...:angel::angel:
I think Xperia SP is good for you.. Check it out
I suggest V, SP, and ZR, according to your budget !
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
Wait for some upcoming phones
If you could wait for sometime, go for Xperia Z Ultra....
Why Sony? I would have gone to HTC or Samsung.

Don't care about reviews some say it's perfect and some says don't buy it...it's upon our wish and kindly don't compare Sony to other products both have better in their category...
Xperia z has better spec and hardware and better better camera if u want to check go to XZ forum and find photos taken by XZ that photos are awesome..even though Sony updates will get soon as it released.. If it is not possible to buy go for Xperia sp..because Sony cares for their latest devices... Hope it will help you..
Sorry for poor english..

z1 = z ultra, same or not?

I have a wild thinking, could this be possible? Z ultra and z1 are not that much different, I'm sure we can get all benefit of z1, any development done there can be use in z ultra right? Correct me if I'm wrong

It's technically the same device, just with a larger screen and worse camera.
Well, the development for this phone kind of slow, i remember when i use samsung s2, so much development and i keep changing rom, if not that much people use this phone, i hope any development in Z1 will benefit us

Yup, you're right. They use the same internals, so it should be possible to cross-develop between these two devices, much like what's being done with the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note (same internals, only the Note has a bigger screen).

Yea I kind of agree....but listen we just started and already running Cyanogen, which is extremely stable for beta
Soon we will get more rom's/themes
Oh yea remember Z1 is better cuz the camera (and smaller screen providing little bit more FPS )
Stay tuned.

I don't think so..!
As it wasn't listed...also by seeing its hardware specs..
It maybe costing u more than 38k+
So if u don't have budget probs then go for z1 if gets released
Also do u know what's the store price of nexus 5 in India?
And yes I know it's listed in Google play...but I need 16 gb white which is unavailable
That's y..!
