Where are you from and are you using for? Do you need phone service for your xperia play? etc....... If you need a xperia play get a R800i or R800a.

Oops lol today has been a long night and day for me. :silly:
Type in "Xperia play pouch" or "xperia play leather case" into google images. Many Results should come up from amazon or ebay. I myself bought a leather case for my xperia play this way. Not the best way :/ but it works.

New NXT Design? C530X

I saw this new phone leaked. The bottom clear bar makes me really think of the NXT series of phones which are some of the best looking Sony phones. Hopefully there will be an Xperia S successor featuring the same design philosophy.

That is P successor, I think. S successor is Z. T successor is a unknown device for now.

To me, Xperia Z seems to be the successor of Xperia ion. The rectangular shape, and the top of the phone seems similar to me.

Why the successor must always be the same design? Not design wise, I mean in terms of importance of the device to the company and the classification of it.

I think this phone worse then xp apart from the s4 processor. I rmb somewhere says 4.1 inch screen with 5mp camera.
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
That 4.1" would be a nice change to all the way to big screens.
Who are the ppl that really want that big screens?
I don't know anyone that wants one, most have to arrange them self with those things because you can't get a newer small phone.

More power needs more physical space, and also more battery. To to that, or they make a thick as **** phone, or thin large one.

Dude you don't need more space for more power. If you look at the way processors have been progressing, each year they get smaller and more powerful. Its only because people want huge screens. Look at how successful the S3 has been and that screen is huge. Bigger battery means more thickness which I could care less about anyways. The razor maxx is still damn thin and it has a huge battery.
Basically there is no reason that can't cram a quad core chipset into a phone the size of the xperia s.

[Q] Xperia Ion Camera broken.. how to fix?

Hey guys!
One day I woke up and I noticed all the pictures from my camera were weird.. they couldn't focus bright light properly and had a bit of a "glaze" to them. I attached some pics for example. I looked at the lens and after cleaning it found its coating was coming off. Since the Ion is my main camera, do any of you know how to fix this? It would be greatly appreciated!!
Im having the same problem. The only way to fix this is buy another back panel for your phone. Dont use any wet substance or chemicals while cleaning the lens.

I ended up calling AT&T and they'll send me a new Ion since I'm still under 1 year Warranty and this isn't considered "Physical Damage".
Right now though, I feel like selling my Ion for a HTC One Nexus Edition though... Decisions, decisions..

Poor ZL is the bastard child

Search eBay or Craigslist for Xperia Zs and you will find many going for $400-$500, search for ZLs and you can find them in the low $300s and even lower!
Today I bought a black C6506 off a guy in San Diego for $260. He said he paid $550, but was complaining the cell phone exchange services would only give him $150. It's not in immaculate condition, but it is unlocked and has an unlockable bootloader. I could have easily brought him down to $240, but considering I paid the same (plus tax which made it $600) I felt it was a good value.
His loss. This will be for a friend.
At $260 he got ripped off... I've gotten ~$450 offers easily... Craigslist is never a good place to sell if you want a decent return though.

It is if you are selling something people know. No one knows the ZL so no one made him good offers I will make sure it goes to a good home. You will probably not sell it as high as on eBay, but you won't have to pay eBay/Paypal fees, so a lot of the times Craigslist is better.
I still like the ZL over the Z coz of its looks. Only if the ZL had a glass back it wud look premium but I have no complaints against it. This device being so rare in the market, ppl get confused as to which device is this. Makes u feel special
Sent from my C6506 using xda premium
I paid $535 for the ZL in Amazon last month and look at the price now, you can buy a Z for $520. While the iPhone keep in a good value for more time, Android phones suffer low value in the market after few months.
Sent from my C6506 using xda app-developers app
I love the ZL for its rarity. And market value doesn't bother me at all since I always sell my phones to friends and family for half the price I bought them for.
Sent from my C6503
I have both Z and ZL. Prefer the ZL - the Z is too awkward in terms of size and flaps. And the ZL has a better display (very noticeable and corroborated by GSMArena) and a couple of neat extras (IR and Camera button).
Everything else is identical, functionally.
Both were well under £400 from Amazon - new, unlocked etc.)
I don't understand why it's not popular..
When I see people talking about Honami saying "I wish it had smaller bezels" i think of ZL.
I think ZL looks better than Honami....

It's not because ZL suck or what. Simply, Sony markets the Z as the flagship and doesn't sell the ZL everywhere compared to the Z.

It should be the other way, the ZL is more cheaper than the Z, which mean the ZL have more market penetration for the price.

The Z doesn't have a camera button?? I thought it did. The Z never appealed to me because of the flaps. I really don't my phone to be waterproof. The Z got picked up by more carriers than the ZL, so that has helped make the Z more known than the ZL.
No it doesn't - as I said.

My statement was meant to be a surprise, not disbelief
The Z is branded by carriers and is sold subsidized. The ZL is not. In places like the US most people buy their phones subsidized (not to mention carriers do marketing) so the ZL has no chance of matching the same popularity.
Here in Brazil, we didn't received the Z version. Sony explore the market here only with ZQ (a.k.a ZL C6503).
So we have carrier subsidiary prices. I've got mine for 900 BRL, something like 450 USD, while the full price was 2000 BRL, something like 1000 USD.
I know, prices here are awful.

I don't know. It's odd because they sell it on their online store, and I've seen it at their Sony Style stores as well. Again, someone fell asleep at the wheel and forgot about it. I'm sure they will still support it.
