Go to Japan and you can even find a toilet bowl with a speaker to imitate the flushing sound. Just for covering the sound of your poop splashing into the water. If they want to make it wide angle they can easily do it like their TVs

In terms of TFT LCD, Sony is better than Samsung or HTC LCD. Sony is the company making best LCDs. Samsung LCDs are also very very good but lacks some extra pixels and thats why is the low price of their LCD TVs. If u don't believe me, search google.
And the best display today is TRILIMINOUS Display, which is a recent innovation from Sony. Just see the picture. Only One word - Mind Blowing.

I don't care about viewing angle in smartphone, it only matter when it come to TV screen or computer screen. in fact I even use business laptop with a screen filter that would restrict viewing angle so that the next person beside me do not know what I am doing.

Disadvantages?
Below-par viewing angles of the display - no one views the phone in an awkward angle. Go figure.
Feeble loudspeaker – who turns on the speaker underwater?
Low-res front facing camera – front camera is used primarily as video calling, it has to be low res for it is better to strea low res images. Damn u selfie loving gsma
I noticed how did XSP beat XZR in almost every benchmarks? Spec wise ZR is superior than SP.

ZR > SP because ZR dives and take great pictures!

I don't understand why Sony does not get it. All their phones suffer from sub-par viewing angles of the display. I have a Sony Xperia T and until this is the issue, that is my first and last Sony phone.

First time to see for an Xperia with 60+ hours of battery life. Things are now really starting to look good for Sony

I was going to buy xperia sp but this review saved me, just superb i must say. Right now i have two concerns, first xperia sp is very much compatible with XZR over the benchmarks and price difference between XSP and XZR is far greater than the performance difference right now... so maybe have to wait a bit more. XZR all the way.
Thx Gsmarena

Wow, the ZR now has the longest battery life with web browsing. Longest or not, waterproof or not, Sony Mobile Sg and StarHub, etc... make this phone available with a data plan here in Singapore. This is a very valuable smartphone. But I cannot afford to buy without a 2 yr contract.

Great review, at least better than PA's review on ZR.
the things that missing is how many zoom available if the camera is set to the max MP, the white paper says it can be zoomed up to 16x but is it on 13MP?

Only if it had a dual SIM support and a pentaband to make it a world phone, this was an unbeatable package ... almost matching what the earlier GSM Arena initiative of compact high end phones was about ...
