Hello guys!
I currently have the LG optimus one, and am looking to buy a new phone. Im torn apart between the SE xperia mini pro(not the x10 mini pro) and the Moto Defy.
Ive used my O1 for a year, right from the early days (when mik gave us his 1st touch-bug free kernel). I wont be selling it off though so I'll still be regular on this forum
Now Pls help me decide between the 2 phones.
On one hand theres the big screen on the defy and on the other theres the hw keypad and the 1Ghz procy :|
My doubts are:
How do the 2 CPUs and GPUs fare against each other?
Is Defy gonna have much prolonged support since its already over a year old.?
The Motorola defy looks to be a solid phone with good support so I would get that. I also jumped ship and ordered a MyTouch 4g.

So right now I'm looking for a new phone to upgrade to from the Galaxy S II Skyrocket i727 from AT&T. I don't want to stay within the same experience of Samsung's Touch WIZ (even though it's not that bad) and that's why I'm looking particularly into the Xperia Z.
So this is my question: is the Sony Xperia Z a decent upgrade from the Skyrocket?
I know the specs on both phones, phonearena or phonescoop can help me with that so I guess this is strictly from the user's point of view. I wouldn't want to think it's equal to or a downgrade from the Skyrocket. In advanced thank you for the input.
I guarantee that you will love XZ. Your experience will skyrocket if you are coming from Skyrocket! . XZ is better in every aspects!

iPhone talk isn't allowed here, so we will all suggest the Z.
It's like comparing Apple with Pears. Never had an Apple product and never will, but the myPhone seems to be quite decent under any circumstances.
Android vs iOS I'd always choose Android.
Edit:
P.S. What's the point making another topic? There are really plenty out there.
What if people made topics to compare the Z with other phones.
Then you would have:
Xperia Z vs Galaxy Note
Xperia Z vs Galaxy Note II
Xperia Z vs Galaxy S III
Xperia Z vs Galaxy S III mini
Xperia Z vs Droid DNA
Xperia Z vs Nexus 4
Xperia Z vs One X
And those are just a few....
Sv: Xperia Z vs iphone 5?
It's hard to compare. Two very different systems. If you like how Apple does things, you might like their phones better. But you better like how they do things, because you aren't allowed to change it. I know I found ios borring..

Easy one this go for the Z if you like customization and stuff, if you like stock standard same as others go with Apple has the iphone 4 and dont get me wrong it was a nice handset but i didnt get attached to it as i felt bored with the set up.

2 phones? drug dealer? XD
Yes, swap it for the Xperia Z. It's far superior.
I have iPhone 5 as well. Just got my xperia z today. So far it's okay. Like the larger screen. Nothing wrong with the iPhone. Just got bored of it.

Xperia Z and iPhone 5 both are smart phones and there are many people who are interested in buying such kind of phones.iPhone 5 is one of the most popular as well as latest model of Apple.
I own a nexus 4, iPhone 5 and the xperia z. I honestly think the nexus is the best in terms of software and speed. The Z is a beautiful beast that I'm adjusting to... If only it ran stock jellybean. With regards to the iPhone 5, for me it's a massive disappointment. Not really any better than the 4s and you have to look after it a lot more as it scratches very easily.
If you have a tight budget get the nexus 4, if not then get the Z or hold out for the HTC one or Samsungs new offering when they announce.

Obvious? They both had their bad ass pics there but I don't see one being "obvious". Not that I'd consider an iPhone. They're WAY past their prime.

I thought it was obvious that the iPhone pics had a yellowish wash over them when viewed next to the Z pics. This was especially noticeable in the low light pics - the colour in the Z pics looked much more realistic. And, the details looked sharper overall in the Z pics. Although, there were a few pics where the iPhone came out on top.
Thanks guys. I (a little) ashamed to say Im leaning more towards the Galaxy s4 now after a glimpse into it... instead of the xperia z.
I think subconciously I know the right choice is to switch and give up my ip5 but I've been an iphone user for so many years. Maybe I just needed some convincing
But highlly anticipating the S4!!! Guess I should move this to the s4 threads now,.,
The camera of Xperia Z is really great and I have used it which owned by one of my friends.
I'm am looking for opinions on buying this phone NOW.
I am currently using the HTC One. I have been through a lot of devices, lately and looking for that "perfect" device and I was holding off on the Xperia Z mostly due to the price unlocked. I broke down and got the HTC One on contract in the US. Its a great phone, but just lacks that wow factor. It's like the Honda of phones, everything done well, nothing spectacular.
So, thinking I can flip it for the same price if not more than the Xperia Z, I'm looking again.
With all the other flagships out there or soon to be out there, do you think buying the Z now still makes sense?
Thanks for looking
Yes, definitely worth it. I've been using this beast for the past 2months & i can assure you that you won't be disappointed.

There isn't much difference apart from the UI and the camera between the htc one and the xz. The HTC has a newer processor, the XZ has a better camera. Different screen technologies. If I was you I would stick with the One unless you don't like it at all. They are both good phones.
the only wow factor that XZ has over One is the water-proof feature. Beside that, One is better than Z in most aspects. If you want something to show off to your friend, you better check for Galaxy S4 as it has many features such as "fun" (and mostly useless) gestures:highfive:
go with S4 for the trade...
S4 over the pair of them.

I just recently had a Note 2. Is there anything really different in the S4? I see them as virtually the same.
I think if you like the Sony Xperia z go for it
After 3 months I m finding used Xperia z
I think htc one very good phone
It's your choice which thing you want in your phone
First see demo then decide:thumbup:

I was in same situation as you, I ended up selling the HTC One and bought a Xperia Z.
For me it was mainly that accessibility service has major bugs in the lock screen when it's turned on for my pebble service. And I need this turned on to use my pebble smartwatch.
Also not a huge fan of sense, I much prefer stock android, and sony is much closer to that. And I just like the design of the Xperia Z overall.
HTC did have a better screen with better viewing angles, but I didn't really find that an issue with the Xperia z.
I am also using an S4 from my company and I still prefer the Xperia Z over it. All the new "features" aren't really that practical in real life use. It doesn't look like a premium phone, just the same as the S3. Touchwiz isn't so bad, but when i enable accessibility settings for my pebble watch it disables a number of the new "features". Dunno why.
This was my experience, obviously yours will be different.
It's really all down to what YOU prefer. I would advise you to have a try, play around and see what you like first.

The problem had always been i am in the us and nobody has the Z on the shelves. I would love to try the Z in person but its just not an option
. So i will probably end up buying it and hoping for the best.

Just trade my year old Samsung S3 for a 5 month old XperiaZL. So far liking it..
So far the only complaint I've is the throw feature doesn't work with Samsung tv.

Or maybe you should buy new TV
thats an amazing trade if you ask me
Sorry for hijacking the thread but I have a very similar question.
My white 16Gb Galaxy S3 2 years old, near mint for a Xperia Z about 6 months old I think. The Z is my brothers and he wants to sell it as he has got a ****ePhone to replace the Z. This will be a straight swap with no money involved.
I'm liking the Z and as with anything takes a bit of getting used to, but I can't decide if it's a good trade or not. I'm due an upgrade in april so do I hang on to the S3 or swap for Z and use it for 4 months until I can upgrade.
Opinions will be greatly received.
