Sony Xperia ZL - user opinions and reviews

This phone is good.. Rally most compact 5" screen phone for now.. Everything is smooth and good..
Camera, use scene mode for better photo.
IR blaster, air conditioner can't be used.. I think due to 2 way signal transmit for air cond and the temperature. Bt other can use for all in my home.
Gaming, smooth and no lag at all. Do rmb, warm is a must while hard gaming. Don't aspect it won't be warm or hot..
Walkman, good audio quality..normal loudness, good to compatible with earphone.
Battery, big and lasts long. 1 day per charge for heavy usage like screen on time 5hours. 1 day per charge. Low or medium usage can last for 1 day or more.
Overall, smooth for daily usage and multitasking.. Nothing more to request from it.. Hopefully can get better camera improvement in further update, 4.2.2.

mine works perfectly, and if the app does not have the device i want i simply put the controller to the side of the phone, and let the app learn the function from the original controller, so far it has worked with every single device i tried, this even works with very old TV sets, a very old INFRA *creative labs* CD-ROM drive (which i currently use as a CD stereo), a genius TVGO and a *micomsoft* X-RGB-2plus none of them listed on the app, no idea why your phone doesn't work

Dear Friends, If planning to buy ZL considering its IR Blaster feature, please note that IR Blaster does not work with learnt IR Codes. Sony as of now has no solution or this problem. Rest the phone is excellent I am using since 3 months. But I had bought this looking into IR Blaster function hence dissapointed now.

I've had this phone for a week now, and i got to say, its the best phone i've ever had. Im glad i picked the ZL and not the Z because of the size, the ZL is perfect, the same size as nexus 4 and i have no complaints at all about the performance, everything is runs smooth. I love the UI customization by sony, its really easy to put widgets and change the theme or background. The screen is mindblowing, i had my doubts about it because of the viewing angles, but guess what, its not a big deal AT ALL! screen is just amazing, colors are alive in it.
i truly recommend this phone, it was about time that sony matches the competition, and they're doing an excelent job. Im glad i came back to sony, my last one was the k850. Keep it up the good work sony!

Mark, 14 Jun 2013Im about to buy a quad core smartphone next week, and im still confused of what should i buy, ... moreSee dude..HTC one X, S3 and LG optimus G are quite outdated....Remaining is Nexus 4 N ZL..so if you want a pure android experience and fast updates matters to u then you can go for Nexus 4 if you want SONY custom ui or dont mind getting updates after months of release of an update consider ZL..i own a ZL by the way.
Other things for you to decide is below.
1.ZL has memory card slot Nexus dont have one(either fixed 8or16GB variant)
2. ZL has 5" FULL HD 1080p mind blowing display vs 4.7" 720p IPS True HD display on Nexus
3.ZL has LTE variant Vs 3G only variant(GSMARENA COMPARE)
4.IR blaster Remote control On ZL
5.ZL has better display outside with contrast and with good audio(audio gsm arena compare)
Now its in your hand what you want others are same specs and i suppose you already know that....you mentioned quad core...in the begining..does it matter you go for octa core S4...its good(but i dont prefer sammy phones noffence to sammy users)

Vk, 10 Jun 2013Hey thanx anonymous or watever your name is..its not any mistake in writing or anything its ju... morehard to answer
let me try first the facts
HTC buttefly:
+ SD card slot
+ screen viewing angles
-/+ depending on your taste, the size this phone is big
- small battery
- 8 MP camera
HTC one:
+ faster chipset
+ screen viewing angles
-/+ depending on your taste, the size this phone is bigger than ZL, smaller than butterfly
- no SD card slot
- 4 MP camera
ZL:
+ bigger battery
+ 13MP camera
+ SDcard slot
-/+ depending on your taste, the size this phone is smaller than any of those
- screen viewing angles
ok
first off.. is really up to you, which one you like more, for me the SD card slot is a must, so that leaves the htc one out, and between butterfly and zl i would go for zl, just for 2 reasons memory and battery.
however i really got this phone because it was sony, plain and simple, almost everything i got from sony still works, even a 20+ years old TV set, and the colors are still bright =P so in the end is always really up to the user.
btw: your other comment was indeed confusing >.< and im glad i could help you n_n

would recommend this phone hand down - been using for 3 months now and can confirm it is the best that i have owned. can only be compared to gs4 & htcone but i would still prefer this for stylised design & color reproduction alone (apart from everything else it does)
