Up till now, there are many rumors said sony is preparing its new series of smartphone, which is called "One Sony series". It will feature Cyber-shot and walkman. Sounds very powerful. So if the rumor is true, Xperia Z will become the last smartphone of Xperia series. Does it still worth buying?
wait if you can wait.
Buy it if you want it. This is technology we're talking here. They go outdated in a matter of months, weeks even. You may wait for the rumoured one series and when it finally arrives, there'll be rumours of a two series and so on. You can never win the race with technology.

You know, no one can answer that question for you.
There will always be newer devices, the device(s) you mentioned aren't even out yet, they might not be what you initially thought they would've been. So in the end you're the only one that can answer your own question.
You can also find an answer here btw:

thanks for the reply
i have around 350$ which phone would be best?
Definitely not HTC One Mini, inferior CPU, way inferior GPU, same amount of RAM, same mediocre screen but smaller, no micro SD card slot, and probably costs a lot more.
Galaxy S4 mini seems like a better option, but has lower screen resolution and is overpriced.
My opinion, if you're OK with non-expandable 16GB of storage, go with Nexus 4, if it's available in your country. If not, SP.

these nexus 4 devices are bought from online sites like ebay or amazon or other sites
i am 16 and dont have any type of card to pay at those sites
price of nexus 4 on Pakistani online shopping sites is nearly 400$ just for 8gb version

OK, so my advice, go to a local shop and test both SP and S4 mini, see whichever one you like. Forget S3 and One mini.
One more thing, S4 mini, being a Samsung kinda-flagship, will probably get a lot of developer support.
SP's soc is better than one mini's.

Not necessarily, 4412 is a quad-core A9, 8960T only krait300 dual-core, on the cpu, 4412 better than the 8960T. But the GPU side, adreno320 is better than mali400mp4, and support more api, such as OpenGL ES 3.0.
In my opinion , gs 3 is too old , you would better choose htc one mini or sp . But htc one mini will be much more expensive than sp . And one mini 's configuration is similar to sp or even worse ！so I suggest you should choose sp

thanks guyz thanks everyone for the reply
will go for xperia sp now
Since this features the exact same hardware but different radio, will most or all ROM's work for it? Thinking about selling my Z1 for this since my service provider is T-Mobile.

You what? Did you search well before decide that? The Z1s is a chinese crap with the plastic body, not aluminium. Don't even think about to buy that one, trust me.

Uh yeah I did. If you haven't searched yet, the Z1s is THE EXACT SAME as the Z1 but with T-Mo's radio. They released the Z1 with 32GB internal and named it Z1s For T-Mobile. Do some research and correct me if I'm wrong before you start being rude to me or anyone here on XDA.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to sound dickish, it's just I'm trying to get an answer that way I know which route to go. I use folder mount already so internal isn't an issue and I have the LTE version which already supports T-Mobile's bands. I was looking into getting the compact just because I always thought 4.3" was the perfect screen size. Although, I hate to say it, but I'm thinking about selling my Z1 to get the One+ since it's "reportedly" gonna have the Snapdragon 805 CPU, NFC, and finally an SD card slot (which I desperately need). I do love the waterproofness though. For a 5" phone, the Z1 is bigger than any 5" phone I've held or used. Opinion?

You right, I saw a HTC One Max at the same price of the Z1 and it's make my mind to jump to HTC.
I do not know it's comming out HTC One soon whit this features, do you have a link? I love my Z1 but if HTC One come out with the same features as Sony Z1, without waterpeoofness only, I will think about it too.
I always had HTC and the developing section no matter what is huge all the time so easely we will have Data on SD and Apps on Internal Storage for sure and more.
I hope the Sony developing section will grow up and made some really important improvement.
So at the moment I don't know what to think, the decision have to be final because any 6 mounts some new device appear on the market.
I keep mine Z1 until the right HTC do not come out and I will think what to do.
If I see we have 2 amazing devices but with HTC I will have all what I need with the developing section too probably I will jump to HTC too.

Another question...
Should I stick with the Z1 or downgrade to the Z1 Compact? I have a strong preference for 4.3" screen sizes for some reason. Anyone agree or disagree?

It's not a big downgrade because the Compact have all what Z1 has, what is missed its 1080p and 5 inch screen only so I think you should choice the device for the purpose which you will do with it. I love the Z1 and the 5" screen do not bother me at all. Bigger screen probably will do. I hope just the Z1 Compact will be fully working phone, not like some Z1 with some touch screen issues or something else.
Hello guys, i am in a big dilema, i want to upgrade my samsung galaxy express, and i am thinking to buy one of this 2 phones: Motorola moto G, Sony Xperia SP. I want the best experience out of this phones, i think all of them can run games pretty smooth, but i am more interested of smooth scrool trough menu, apps etc. Bottom line, i want the best android experience. My personal choice would be the Xperia SP but i have read in this forum that it has some problems, are they that bad? or true? i saw 2 SP versions, 3G and 4G (this is not a must for me) C5303 or C5302 have problems? They have a similar price in my country, that is why its so hard to pick a phone
I am researching this phones for about a week, and my top would be this:
1. Xperia SP
2. Moto G
But i`m not sure, so that is why i am asking you guys

go for XPERIA SP, its a really awsum phone with gud features with less price range.. :good:
Hello there,
I need to buy a phone and am getting both Z3C and Z2 at similar prices. ($400).
I know the merits and demerits of both but am still confused. Also I owned a Xperia U (great dev support) but am unable to see any great dev support for both the z3 and Z2. I am a sony lover <3 Should I buy them or look forward to any other device with great dev support (OPO, OPT, G3 etc)
Thank You
Depends, want a compact high end phone? the only one is the Z3C, the Z2 is 5.2 inch, the difference is 0.6 inches and is A LOT, in normal phones (above 5 inches) you have a lot of choices, cant give you a recommendation without knowing what you want... just dont get a Samsung.
About the custom roms my personal experience is with a S1, an S4 i9500 and a Nexus 7 2012, all bad, the roms i tested work well the first time and then they begin to get slow, also a lot of bugs, the N7 is a nexus but apparently support ended, also the lollipop update killed it, i have it right now with 4.2.2, both S1 and S4 worked far better with stock rom/debloated stock rom.
Z3C on 4.4.4 can be rooted easily and Xposed framework all works well.
5.1 can be rooted with a bit of messing about and Xposed is working (mostly?) with a bit of messing about, depending upon the time you have available and your Android skills.
There is ongoing work on both of these and I think 5.1 will be easy soon.
I very much think there is no difference between the Z2 and Z3C in this regard as they essentially have the same SoC. I use the same tools on Z3C and Z1C though they are slightly different hardware.
I am not an expert on this, so someone may correct me.
I personally got the Z3C due to the size and $375 on Amazon. I also got a Z1C for $250 there which is a great buy at that price.
I think its worth waiting till september
Well yes there is a difference but they are minor since everybody wants big phones now and Z3C falls in small phones today! But I can manage the smallness. No Samsung at all
Indeed next week new Sony phones will be unveiled Z5 and Z5c most likely
