The Xperia Z subforum is very active, but this one looks like a ghost town to date.
Anybody thinking of the ZL instead of the Z?
Camera button, IR blaster, smaller frame...
Mater of tastes and choices.
I'm totally getting both
I'm waiting for its US release. If it takes too long, I'll get a Canadian one off ebay provided it's AT&T LTE compatible. If that doesn't happen as well by the end of March or mid-April, I'll simply get an HTC. I already started missing the bigger screen on my HOX that I traded for a TL. So hurry up - Sony.
Ok lol! This is weird how come I can't see this forum on the index page? Same for me I'm planning to get the Xperia ZL. But if HTC One will beat it with the availability on my country then off to HTC One for me.
Me!
I don't need the water/dust proof, getting rid of those flaps would be a good thing for me
I am getting it, more compact plus camera button plus IR, it's going to be my next.
I am looking at getting the ZL as well rather the than the Z but will wait to have a look at the Samsung Galaxy S4 first.
I am getting either ZL, HTC one or S4. Want the AT&T LTE Not a big fan of samsung but their CPU always better and their OS update...
I'm looking to grab ZL and start cooking my own ROMs/kernels once for a change ( I think I'm the only programmer with a diploma that hasn't been an active developer on XDA :| ), but apparently availability is going to be crap, so I might have to get a Z instead :\
GG Sony !

Expect it mid March.
Can't wait to get it here in India; I heard it will be available here in April.
On a sidenote, why is this section not showing up when searching from the forum homepage?!
I can't find this forum on the device search, can the moderator fix this?
I definately will get it as soon as it's available in Canada.
I am hearing talk that the ZL here will launch with s600 instead of s4 Pro. Anyone want to comment?

Rumor comes from esato forums. Also another source on neogaf suggests the Z will launch in North America with S600 as well. This could explain why we're getting so little info on these phones, and why the North American launch is coming2 months after most other markets.

That's the case for the US. The Z launch being later is for other reasons.

xperia ZL hasn't been released in Europe either, is it North America exclusive only?
I think I'll get a ZL when it will be available in Switzerland. I hope it will be soon.
If what I've researched is true, Sprint's 4G LTE (A GSM tech) runs on the 1900 MHz band... If this is indeed true I might use some of my tax refund money to get this baby and save my upgrade for another time. I'm weighing my options. I'm also considering the Galaxy Note II, but I'll see.
Well, apparently androidcentral is reporting that the ZL, will have LTE bands working on ATT and T-mobile. If this is true, that would be so awesome! I cannot wait! :laugh:

Thanks,guys.

In a different thread, a member contacted Sony and it was stated that Sony USA had no (official) plan yet to release the handset in the US. The Play will be released with Verizon this summer tho.
On an unrelated note, I wish Sony would not *****-out in front of the carriers and would offer their own phones in Sony stores like they do with every other products. Maybe they will do so in the future, the ARC have only been recently released after all...
Sony Ericsson.. not Sony.. that's why you can't buy them in the Sony stores!

The Xperia ARC/Play will be sold in Sony stores in Canada starting April 27. They will be Rogers branded/locked tho.
They need to start selling the vanilla unbranded handset ...

I spoke to SE Canada today and they mentioned that unlocked versions of the Arc would be available from PureMobile.ca in a couple of weeks. He also mentioned that unlocked versions would be available from Amazon (but did not give a timeframe).

Cannot figure out why they havent released the arc in white, i think it'd look pretty damn good in white.
Just buy a LT15i. I got one and its working perfectly on T-Mobile USA, calls, text, data, everything.
And what data speeds do you get?
Because the Arc doesn't support T-Mobile US's 1700MHz band.
Oh, that I don't know, but my facebook app and others load in a perfectly reasonable amount of time. I'd test it but I only have a 200 mb data plan. My precious 6mb a day. xD

According to unknown13x, who has some insider info, the Arc will not come to the USA (on AT&T probably) until August/September due to supply shortage from Japan.
You can see his post here.
unknown13x said:
Initially the arc was bounded for AT&T, however, last I heard was that all LT15a's production was halted and shifted to LT15i due to the tsunami that hit Japan, destroying the main manufacturing facility. The only batch of LT15a made went to Rogers, so I don't know if they'll continue to get the stocks since there's more LT15i demand. All I know is it's very unlikely that it will be released anytime soon. More like Late Q3 or Q4, but by that time....there's going to be something else...

I thought they said the US market was important to them. Why are they waiting so long? I agree, they are going to lose market share, and ask "Why?" They better get it together soon, or else they will be a non-issue like Nokia.

Have had my Xperia Arc for a few months, just updated to 2.3.4. Makes the phone feel new again. But 512MB of RAM blows! Have to keep either clearing the phone's cache or delete applications. And the Arc s isn't any better.

So I was thinking of getting the at&t htc one x but as you all may know it has its own set of issues. I'm on at&t but wouldnt mind getting the international htc one x version and not using lte as I'm not even in coverage areas anyways if you guys really recommend it. I like that the International hox has more space.
Also, not really interested in the galaxy s3 but the only thing that may have sparked interest is the sony xperia ion which is suppose to be coming to at&t in june. I believe it has lesser specs than the int. hox?
Either way, what do you guys recommend. Skip the at&t hox and go for the int. hox? I definitely like to root and rom, thats all I did on the htc inspire.

If you like to root and ROM, international One X it is....no questions asked. Simple and straightforward answer is to get Int'l One X.
Since ur also not in LTE areas, you can't turn off the LTE on AT&T One X from what I remember reading, so you'll drain battery just by having it on and get LTE like stats, instead of the 3G only stats which are nearly double the life.
Get International One X, Xperia Ion isn't good. An actual Sony flagship contendor is in the works though with the Snapdragon S4 Pro chip.
I see your in nyc, any dependable vendor you can recommend that has been shipping the int. hox with little to no defects? I only know expansys-usa but never ordered from them.

Order from Expansys, or Negri so just incase your model does have a defect, you can get replacement.
The Chinese models (ones manufactured in China) seem to have much less problems than the taiwan models.
Basically SH serial number seems to be better than HT for the most part. Mines an SH and all is well except for a slight flicker on light grey colors (software problem 95% sure but not noticeable) Other SH models have been problem free from what I hear. I have no flex or hardware issues

I personally chose the Galaxy S3 ( preordered yesterday) but I walked into an AT&T store today and saw and held the one x for the first time. I've never seen a phone or anything like this. The design is just too good, even the glamour grey, just an amazing looking phone. As far as you getting the intl' or the AT&T version, well since you like to root I guess get the intl' version. But the AT&T version is just much better right now. Excellent battery life and none of that lag crap.

correction, it is the other way around
I'd be stuck on 16gb(really like 10gb approx.) internal space, no root or way to unlock bl. Less dev support probably because of this. Seems neither hox is issue free though. Way more convenient to walk into an at&t store.

I don't agree with that. I ordered from Expansys and the unit was made in China and I had a yellow spot on my screen.
Decided to buy locally (2nd phone carrier branded HTC One X) and this is made from Taiwan and have no issues at all.
Chinese handsets are the ones that have problems.
I ended selling my 1st One X on eBay for $400 and was not really happy about the return policy with Expansys.

Yes.... The C6502 which is what I have supports T-Mobile HSPA+ and such except LTE.
FCC are just rule that protects big companies especially the U.S. one such as Motorola and that makes selling cheap Chinese handset in the states and in Canada much more harder.

Model number e988 for India..
e988 is also for HK..
It only has 16 GB internal memory...
And this is the killer .....the India version will not have LTE! !
LG in its infinite wisdom has chosen to remove LTE from the Indian model..and probably the reason is that LTE is not yet available in India ..but were 3G phones not launched by Nokia like 6 years back when nobody in India even knew what 3G meant? This is ridiculous...does LG expect u to buy new phones when LTE launches in India in 6 months time?
and this phone just won the 'best LTE device's award ...how ironic
After having waited for the phone so long, feel cheated a bit

Actually 3G phones have a unified radio i.e. a set of only 4 frequencies and a single modem can be used for all those....in case of LTE a unified radio is still no available and each modem they have to put in a phone caters to a specific LTE band...even in a single country there are multiple bands and the phone's LTE won't work on each other....for example in Korea there are three models of LG OGP F-240 K/L/S each caters to LTE of different carrier and cannot be used on another network...
thus if LG removed LTE it is a good thing as it will be useless until a carrier identifies the band it has been allocated by the Govt and will use....also comparison with 3G before time is not relevant as working mechanism is slightly different

Actually there are a few things to consider here
1) the Indian version still uses snapdragon 600 which is a chipset that has LTE enabled by default ...so actually LG has had to work to disable it rather than enable it, and I fail to think why they did that. Reminds me very much of the nexus 4 where they did the same thing
2) you are right about LTE bands not decided yet for India ...only working LTE service, Airtel in kolkata on a pilot basis, uses a 2300 MHz band which is not supported by any of the international phones ...however it is likely that when LTE services are rolled out on a mass scale, bands will be chosen based on popular bands internationally, in which case the chosen bands are likely to be one of the bands on the phone ..unless the Indian rollout uses LTE advanced, which is not available on any version of this phone, I think there is a strong possibility that with LTE enabled, this phone will be future proof
3) I don't think disabling LTE will lead to any cost advantage as the chipset is still going to cost the same
4) with LTE disabled, any custom rom support for international versions like AT&T etc is unlikely to work for the Indian version (although that may be the case with LTE enabled also but with LTE disabled the radio configuration will definitely not allow such porting)
Only saving grace could be if LG announce that they are not advertising LTE in the specs but that have not disabled it.
Lets wait for July 4th

No LTE is not a thing to be disappointed about...at the moment you have no LTE network and as for "future proofing" the argument is not that strong as you cannot confirm that the band will match....
as for 16GB...imo it is enough but again you have the option of expandable memory and with a simple script you can move app data to sd card...plus usually 16/32 GB models differ in price as much as $100 but you can get a 32GB card for as low as $30.....so im happy if only 16GB model is available as it will keep price low and chance of more people buying it and hence maybe more development
in a nutshell i don't see any real issues here to get disappointed over but again its my humble opinion

Mumbai Update:-
I went to alfa today (renowned place for phones in mumbai) and they said they dont bother keeping LG's any model except the nexus 4, the dealer was very vague in saying once you buy an LG product forget about getting good service. I for one was upset knowing this at first.
secondly this youtube review shows extra battery, a chargeable dock aswell. So it doesnt matter if its non lte or 16 gb but if these goodies are packed then its worth it. I mean there isnt good resale with LG but what the heck its better than note 2 at the moment and pretty usable.
Anybody here knows any place in mumbai where is it gonna be available? Please update here

Alfa is a laggard, not a leader...they will keep a phone only if it becomes popular or the brand is popular..don't waste time worrying about what they said.
The extra battery and charging dock are only for the Korean version...for India you will get standard stuff - charger, headphones, USB cable

yeah you can get a Korean 908N version on eBay with a very reasonable price. I got mine several days ago.

Awesome, thanks. I wasn't sure which country to look for. I prefer a pocket-sized phone and it looks like SM-SS901N is the small one and it's readily available.
I'm still running SABS on my old S9 (installed before Samsung killed it) and I was afraid I'd have to switch to a Pixel to get root, but the smallest Pixel 6 is bigger than I want. The small S22 from South Korea seems like a perfect choice.

No problem at all. I always got the Korean Variant instead of US one. Works for me all the time. I just didn't understand why they didn't provide an option of unlockinh BL on US variant. I feel like it's not even necessary.
are you looking for exynos or snapdragon? there is a large performance and compatability difference. Hong Kong and Singapore are where I got my last two phones from, bootloader unlockable snapdragons.
I'd have to say Snapdragon, which is also the South Korea variant (I'm guessing this is why it's popular for US buyers). Would there be any reason to consider an Exynos for use in the US? According to the reviews I've read, performance & battery life on the Exynos vary between meh and unusably awful.

Hello, may I ask what carrier you're using this with in the US? On Ebay, it says that it doesn't work with Verizon (due to CDMA).
I'm aware that Verizon does a little bit more than CDMA these days, but their base is still CDMA from what I understand. Thanks in advance.
