People who follow Sony already knows that the Xperia Z is apart of the AOSP. That being said you can already add stock/vanilla android if you choose. I really don't see the point in making a "Google Edition" of this device. I guess now and days your cellphone is no good unless its running the latest Android OS.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping they'll make the ROM available (officially) so that I can update my Xperia with the pure android experience - Does anyone know if google/sony is planning to do that ?

discbrake, 09 Jun 2013This is everyone's dream. Nokia would simply destroy the competition if they run Android OS. I... moreImpossible. Microsoft has Nokia by the neck. Not to mention that just because a company used to be great doesn't mean that it will still be. You have way too much faith on Nokia

I really would like this to happen. And as an owner of the Z, If possible, I'll flash my phone with vanilla Android ROM the minute it's available.

Anonymous, 10 Jun 2013Sony should put IPS display not tft.
They can't handle the consumation.
Wikipedia quote:
"IPS panels require up to 15% more power consumption than TN displays."

These "Google Editions" suck and they cost more. I do however like that they are giving options to devices with MicroSD card slots which is more than what the nexus devices have had since the Nexus One so I guess they are not all bad.

On cm10.1 now I notice the camera quality is terrible compared to stock

The XZ is the most suitable flagship to get pure android because, unlike the S4 and the One, it isn't stacked with software features that we would lose if we choose it over the original. As much as I like its looks, Sony's UI actually slows the phones down causing some occasional lag or stutter and removing Sony's camera algorithms means better camera performance. The only thing we'd lose is Stamina mode, which I don't think we'll miss so much.
