Looks like this time the team received the prototype handset for review eralier than the Xperia Z last time. That's a great news, so people will read the review and consider it before placing a pre-order.

To GSMArena team, please make the Battery Test ASAP. As for Xperia Z it happened as the result appeared after the pre-order sessions have ended in most part of the world.

Thanks.

If Pureview is so good, is should be selling.
Currently, the sales figures coming out is just sad.
Very sad. Fortunately, we have a new king of smartphones camera, Xperia Z1.

well... it's turn out that the camera wasn't that good.
typical sony (erisson) algorithm processing.
they need to hire people with better knowledge about image algorithm processing.

Well, I guess I'm able to answer your doubts,

1. Does the screen support use of any pen as stylus like in Z Ultra?

Ans: Simply no....


2. Does Z1 have stock android browser or just Chrome?

Ans: Not 100% sure, but I believe it only have Chrome only since ZU only have Chrome only.

MdN, 14 Sep 2013Sorry, but if you look at them at full size... digital noise, oversharpening, blown highlights... moreTrust me ... am an x-owner of the 808 this kind of shots are not achieved with 808 unless u set it to long exposure on tripod. 808 is so bad at night shots and wasnt developed for night shots.

808 wins only in cropping and well light scenarios or when a scene is catch able with its mighty xenon. But in low light Z1 wins.

This is actually worse than those photos where Z1 "defeated" the 808. On that VietSony blog.

Sony is going in right direction. I am Nokia user (Lumia 920 and it is a great device) and once Nokia is gone I might consider Sony next year.
Sony has great camera also, but at the moment there is no match for Nokia pure view in camera department!

Where are these fake shotouts paid by Sony, wheres your proof?

We know too well who is the real fake here, not ment for you personally but for Lumia fans in general.
