To be honest, such an improvement is only skin deep. The more problematic issue is the native code where all the image post processing is done. Plus with the latest 757 version, the Superior Auto is pretty good actually, the first time ever that i have confidence in Superior Auto Mode. It's like they have reduced the standard ISO level on the Superior Auto just like Manual, so the resulting image is less filled with artifact. So please try it again

That is interesting. The camera is really sad indeed. Even though I do photography as a hobbie with a Sony NEX! (great cameras which makes it even sadder that the Ultra is so lame), so the built in camera is not crucial but now that I got my GF the Note 2 I can see how bad it is really is lol

I have been wanting to buy a new 10 inch tablet and these two seem to be the best ones currently on the market.
While I like the design of the tablet Z, I am wondering if some of you can provide insights regarding the comparison... lag, disk i/o performance, resolution, etc.
Thanks in advance!

I read lots of PDFs and webpages so I like Nexus' higher DPI, and its lower price does not hurt, either. However, I am not sure how Sony's full HD display looks like in real life when compared to the Nexus 10... I am also curious of people's feedback for the Sony-skinned Android. Is it useful or intrusive? I have not used Sony's mobile devices before so I have no idea...
However, Sony's design and the feature of water resistance are the reason that I am leaning toward the tablet z...

Sony doesnt have good support on software updates...at least not according to the forums here but I believe that is good support, if they indeed succeed on the AOSP. If they do, I would agree on the idea of the Z before the N10 but I'll wait for now.

First thing, the first two Sony Android tablets were managed by the Vaio team, not Sony Mobile team. Second, at least it seems, Sony is trying to get their stuff done and provide some good updates to all of us faster than the last years.
Some users with nexus 10 seems to ahve a bug with it randomly rebooting and wifi dropping. My wife has the nexus 10 and faces such issues. bit disappointing considering i thought stock android would be more stable.
Go for the XPERIA TABLET Z, it's just objectively better.
Also, Companies like HTC and Samsung are interferring significantly with the Vanilla Android, changing everything, while Sony only makes a few Design improvements and adds some features. Like eg small apps. TouchWiz and Sense are big changers while Sony only tweaks a bit
Well, it seems that Sony is doing a great job here releasing the aosp code officially. Hopefully they will keep doing this! =D
And, yeah, sense and touchwiz sucks.

Hey man, of course it gets grainier in low light environment!
Go outside in the sun and make a photo there. It will not be grainy.
As there is no flash or photo light, this behavior is totally normal. You will have to live with it.
Oops, forgot to tell that i also took a photo outside, which is sunny, and the photo is still not clear(grainy\blurry)..

here are some pictures taken with my nexus 4 (also an 8 mp camera)
Use normal mode instead of superior auto and setup the camera yourself and dont use hdr then see what the quality is like. You might notice that without using those options the camera uses the full 8MP.

Also remember its a tablet.. Not a device designed to take pictures .

If you need a good camera then you will have to buy one.

Honestly, the camera on this thing is nowhere as good as I thought it would be...not a dealbreaker as I don't use a tablet to take pictures almost ever but still expected more.

If you notice that your leg is clear and the rest of the picture is grainy then it indicates that the camera focused on your leg, not the things in the background. Keep things close out of the picture so it can auto focus on what you want in the picture.

Hello everyone.
I have just recently purchased the Xperia Z Ultra and it's a pretty big phone.
When I press the sleep/wake button to unlock the phone, there is a slight delay before the screen lights up. Is it normal? Do you guys have it on your device as well? I didn't expect it to be like this since Z Ultra has very powerful hardware, so I don't get why there should be a delay.
Another thing I noticed in the promo video for Xperia Z Ultra by Sony was that the settings background was like a white colour, but on my Z Ultra it has black background and text in white. I have the latest software version available.
Looking forward to your answers.
Thanks.
Have you updated to. 471 yet? There's no lag at my end.
Sent from my C6802 using xda premium
No lag with mine... I have seen reports of the screen turning grey for a split second before turning on tho.
if you installed bunch of crap apps it will be like that
Yes I've already updated to the latest software. The lag isn't that much but it's still noticeable, especially compared to my iPhone 5.

I haven't installed a bunch of crap applications. I tried hard resetting it a couple of times but the slight lag is still there. Maybe an android thing?

My ZU also has a really noticeable screen wake delay. It was similar the the Z on it's earlier firmware releases.
So I think everyone has it, they just don't realize it.
I am on firmware .471 (which is the latest I think). Pretty unhappy about this but oh well.

Thanks for that. I'm also on firmware 471.
So I'm assuming Sony fixed the delay in Xperia Z with a firmware update, right. Hopefully they'll do the same with the Xperia Z Ultra as well, and soon.
And I don't think the current firmware on the Z ultra is market ready yet. It's quite different from the one they showed during the launch. I'm hoping we'll get the update along with the global release (LTE) next month.

Go to Settings - About Phone and look at build number at the end. If your last 3 digits not 471 then download Sony pc companion and update.

I don't have the delay on mine, but I did watch a review on Youtube, and he mentioned that and how annoying it is. So maybe some have it and some don't.. Mine has brutal battery life, and the sim door pops open a few times a day.. others have other issues. Not sure what to say there.
Hey guys
Is there any method/guide for better performance/quality in in uz?
I am wondering about this under average quality photos in this phone even with a powerful ximor rs sensor at indoor conditions!
Uz takes very bad noisy photos in low light conditions that i have never seen in each other 8 mp phones.
I have tried all options for gaining better results but unfortunately this camera disappointed me at all.

That's true. ZU camera is not the best one.
But try Cemre Zoom FX. It takes much better photos.
I'm happy with that.

The lack of an LED should have tipped you off straight away, and the fact that the ZU uses the same camera as the Z (correct me if i'm wrong), but without an LED. You can of course install a different camera app from the Play Store, or wait until devs have ported the Z1 camera app to the ZU (still no guarantee that it will produce better photos though).

It's not really clear whether zu has the same camera module as the z, actually. Zu is only 8mp, while z has 13mp, so no guarantee the hardware is the same. And zu is far thinner than z to contain the same module, but this is just a wild guess.

don't use superior auto, and set the iso as low as possible. Also try different camera apps like fv-5 or "a better camera"
I pay fv -5 and I don't have better camera, that is the same.
this is the camera software error; think that will be fixed in an upgrade?

Well for me, indoors with poor lighting conditions will produce same results as yours whatever app your using...but outdoors with good lighting will make decent result...enough to make you satisfied...but if you change to normal and set scenery to night or night portrait, you will see different results...the same if you fiddle with the settings...
But the thing is, z ultra is known to bad camera...don't you know that...

Research before buying is the keywords here. Why don't people do that with the ease of the internet? It's beyond my understanding.
All that buys a Z Ultra know they will get a crappy camera. There is nothing wrong with your camera.
Software can only do so much. It's the hardware that's crappy.
