Xperia Z and ZL differences? - Sony Xperia ZL

Hello!
I am still seeking for a new phone,while the HTC One is my favorite because of its shortage and high price in my country I am interested in SGS4,Xperia Z and ZL.
I red some reviews about the Xperia Z and it looks like a catastrophy in the screen(vieweing angles and sunlight visibility) and speaker(weak volume) fields.
Is the Xperia ZL better in these fields?
Are they any other differences?

Xperia Ion Vs Xperia V

Xperia v vs ion
The new Bond Phone in Singapore is Xperia V. I went to Singtel yesterday and tested the Xperia V with my ion, results were disappointing.
1. The screen on the ion beats the Xperia V so much. Contrast so much better and deeper blacks on the Ion.
2. I have installed the Cybershot V4 and i compared the camera on both phones. Superior Auto on V and HDR auto on Ion, the xperia v's 13mp camera gave me a pic of 2.2mb photo size and the Ion 12Mp camera gave me a 2.95mb photo size . (Same Photo)
3. Yea, the ions lags slightly on CPU speed, but its very Minor.
3a. Yea, the onscreen buttons may seem not so responsive on the ion, but after all the firmware updates, all the touch screen Mods, its almost Perfect.
4. After looking at the outlook of the Xperia V, i found out that i prefer my Ion looks(Aluminium back) , although its slightly thicker. In fact i feel that Xperia Arc looks better then the V.
5. The screen is larger then the V.
6. Internal Storage is more then the V.
XPERIA ION ROCKS!!!!!

haha. So coincidence. I posted something similar days ago. choosing between Ion and V. From Singapore too.
In Singapore, V is the bond phone as T is not launched there.
The lag on the Ion is hardly a dealbreaker imo. I am actually pleasantly surprised because the s2 skyrocket lags a lot more. Sony's UI is closer to stock android so that helps keep the lag down. It doesn't really lag that much in the first place for me though. It's honestly the best UI I have ever used on an android phone. The bottom line is that the snapdragon s3 processor is more than capable of running ics and jb. If you're someone that needs the absolute fastest then you wouldn't be looking at dual core phones anyways, haha.
where can i find these on screen mods to make the buttons more sensitive? thanks
^ try searching. Or looking in the theme and app section.

Xperia v has s4 processor, much better than old s3. Also u get better ui and a better walkman. Also Xperia v is expected to get jelly bean before Xperia ion. U also get bravia engine 2.

Need help with choosing a phone

Hi,
I wanted to buy Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, but i'm not sure about the speaker (when calling).
Is the speaker good? could be boostd?
Maybe you can even recommend about other phone.
What I really need to have:
Loud speaker (for calling)
A memory card extensio*n
Not giant like the Samsung Galaxy 3
Reasonable CPU
Reasonable camera
up to 530 dollars
Thank you very much.
Xperia Arc s has very high quality sound (both in call and playing music) I can make you sure about this , and if you use gingerbread based ROM then you have a Reasonable CPU and the camera is very better than other phones in this range ...
but If you want to spend about 500 dollars take a look at Nexus 4 And Galaxy SII
SII has good size but Nexus 4 is a bit bigger but it worth
I would give Nexus 4 a try if I were you. My other option would be Razr i with that 2Ghz processor that seems great.
Sony Xperia V is a good Phone.
What do you think about Xperia J?
LG nexus 4, HTC one S or newer xperia range like Xperia S,T,TX .
don't buy arc IMHO.

J is worse than arc. I wouldn't choose J over Arc S. You should have a look at Xperia P - good price ($280 AU), dual core, same physical size as arc, and jelly bean update for $370 AU, you can get the Xperia S which is even better
Good luck finding a phone!

I have had an arc S for a year and now in christmas I have buy a Htc One X and is so amazing!! I recomended it to you, a lot of differents between arc S and HOX!! Buy a HOX!!
Buy Arc S. It has all features you need and should be at least 40% cheaper then others.

Sony Xperia S (General)

The Sony Xperia S is a fantastic phone with great features. It is a little old now but still it is really worth the price for all the features it provides.
The main features of the Xperia S are the 12 megapixel camera, 32gb of internal storage, a very high resolution of 342ppi pixel density on a 4.3 inch screen, 1080p video playback, and a battery of li-ion 1750.
This product has a beautiful design with the transparent strip which lights up as you turn the device on. The plastic that covers the body doesn't feel cheap in any, in fact it feels great and fits perfectly in your hand. A great feature that Sony put in this device is taking the picture while the phone is at sleep mode. You hold down the camera button and the phone quickly launches the 12 megapixel camera taking a beautiful picture in less than 2 seconds.
If someone is considering to buy a good smart with good features and a low price, then this is a great option because they have decreased the price by a lot.
You will without a doubt love the Sony Xperia S.

hello, I do not know! the subject was open so wrote the post above
To make some use of this thread, It is reported that we may see a Jelly Bean 4.1.2 release for the XPERIA LT26i at the end of March.
This is a bit sooner than the mooted week 17 (mid April) that was touted earlier.
I for one am quite excited to see what is included in this firmware release.
XPERIA Blog reports: Xperia S Jelly Bean rollout commencing in late March?

Can we expect to have a ZL1?

Ok, I'm not asking for a Camaro from Sony - LOL. But I'd like to see a similar supercharged beast that would be the counterpart of Z1 as ZL was to Z.
Z1 is gorgeous by all means, so was Z. But I'm pretty sure some people picked ZL over Z because of its nice compact form factor, IR blaster, and different look. I understand that Z1 needs some extra surface area to carry its waterproof/dustproof status along with the huge battery. Maybe I can trade those for a more compact ZL1. - anyone else?

The ZL came out after Sony released the Z, so I would expect if Sony is planning to make something similar it will come in a few more months after the Z1

I dont think so. I can Say that ZL was almost a failure in front of Z. considering the facts that the SONY itself is ignoring this device as we can see in privilage app, commercials, etc. Z1 Mini is on the verge of being released. So this might be a marketting factor.

I can't understand that people have problems with IR blaster... Back when I was on stock rom, I could use every function of the IR blaser. I have let it read from the original remotecontroll and not a single problem...

ya.. i wonder why ppl said that is a failure.. for me i have no problem to learn the signal and use it to remote my tv..
I'm interested if it uses the same, or better, Z1 Triluminos display.
Which is proving to be much improved over the ZU Triluminos:
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1-review-983p2.php
It also has to have the 3000mAh battery.
With expected, and much needed, improved endurance in web browsing, and video playback.
Improved loudspeaker performance and quality would be.nice too.
Sure would be interesting to see just how Sony would update their most compact 5 inch Xperia.
Hopefully there's a demand, based on the limited market release of the ZL.

Is the expected to be announced at MWC, D6503, the ZL successor we aspire for?
While I expected at least Snapdragon 800 ,Adreno 330, 3GB RAM combo with a quad-core Krait 400 upgrade.
I was hoping for the same compact form but updated design like we're seeing in E1, with updated finger print friendly back.
With a vastly more efficient, higher quality IPS LCD with same PPI, larger battery, 32GB internal storage, with higher quality internal/external loudspeaker performance.

ZL vs Z3compact

Hey guys!
I'm getting a new phone soon. Today the Z3compact was introduced by sony. Looks like a very good phone to me.
So just one question: the display is "only" hd, not fullHD. Is that any difference a human can see...?
What about reading texts (I'm reading a lot and enjoy the great ppi, because you can also read small letters very well)?
Thanks for your reply!

But Z3C screen panel is better than ZL so it will look brighter and clear

Thank you all for your opinion!
After the first adrenaline rush I thought about upgrading to Z3c a lot. But I will stick with my lovely ZL. There's no real improvement that is a must have for me. Think I will skip that phone, maybe Z4c will be next for me...

Yeah wait for at least a compact version with a 1080p display hopefully that'll be the z4c. I actually just purchased my zl, granted I didn't really need it since I have a z1 already but the price was just too low lol paid $219 for it and it's still a nice little device if you're not a hardcore mobile gamer.

Man! Z4C is tooo faaarr!!!
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ (C660²) Z running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
Coming from a ZL, i would wait for Z4c, if it has 810 soc.
I'm waiting for Z3 C. Amazing battery life.:victory:
I think the screen difference in ZL&Z3c's will be very obvious because I have used SP(4.6" 720p with 319ppi) and ZL(5"1080p with 441ppi)
The difference is very clear if you are used to the high resolution
BUT according to the hardware status & software update you should choise Z3c but ZL
S801 vs S4pro ; 13MP IMX135 vs 20.7MP G lens ; one's last version is 4.4.4 and the other is 5.0 even newer
So my suggestion is to select Z3c
BTW why not choise Z3 which has FHD screen and 3G RAM??
Sent from my C6502 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm guessing it's the size of the Z3 that's holding him back. IMO it's too big.
Yes, it's too big for me. Otherwise I would have gone for that one...
If you think Z3 is too big then Z3c is the better choise due to a much better using experience
