Don't get your hope up. It's very likely that Z1 will stay with 5.1.1. Sony said nothing about M for Z1 series (unlike Z2, Z3 series got confirmation) so indeed there might be a tiny chance Z1 series will get M but like I said, it's just a tiny chance.
Here in Serbia this cellphone is not cheap, its expensive. And its a dump idea to stop suporting. Its my think....

It's not matter of price, it's old and I think the phones that are people still buying are already made and just from big stocks. Our phone is almost 3 years old, really (I'm angry too, my phone is just 4 months old, but what can we do.. )

Eh it's still expensive like right now? If so then wow. In my country, you can buy Z1 as cheap as a low mid-range phone. (Sony pricing strategy really does suck)
Like others said Z1 is old and passed the 18 months promised support time from Sony. Yet we still receive bug fix and enhancement firmware like recent 236. I think we should be graceful for that since it's way better than other equivalent from other brands. Have you seen any Snapdragon 800 phone got M yet?
Also I don't know why many of you think not getting M is a stop support from Sony while we still indeed receive newer firmware build on 5.1.1. I think support means in the end you get the stable stuff not the newest one. Otherwise, after M people will demand N then O then P etc. for Z1 just for the sake that Z1 may have the spec to run it. And let's face it: even if Sony want to, they probably don't have enough resource to support Z1 (not with their current financial status). Supporting Z1 bring no benefit to Sony.
One more thing: if you look at the Z1 Update History on PTCRB, you'll see Sony did a fantastic job supporting this phone up until now. And even if we, by any chance, got the M, I'm sure it will feel like nothing because we won't get any new features (those are saved for latter Z series) - not to mention a new base firmware potentially bring lots of bugs.
==> I myself would be happy if they just provide me a super polished 5.1.1 firmware with no bugs at all.
How mutch cost z1 and z2 in your country?

The cheapest Z1 right now is around $175 and Z2 is about $250 I think. Xperia's pricing in my country is very unstable. It's usually start off really expensive then drop sharply just after a short time.
Oh here is the PTCRB link in case you're wondering.
https://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=24328
well.. even Hammerhead can have 6.0, so why Honami cant?
Its like that in most countries. Start of expensive and declines rapidly.
Here its also about the same price in USD. Since they produce every 6 months, a rather sharp price drop is expected.
I did see a list of supported updates and z1 wasn't one of them to get M
Z2 however, was

Unlikely that we will see marshmallow, the phone is really quite old now. I guess it's possible if a Dev can get it fully working, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Not such a big deal though, Lolipop is working pretty much perfectly on my z1

My last phone was a Xperia Arc (loved it, only issue was low RAM), I lost it and now I need a replacement. I need a cheap android WITH MHL or HDMI port. I came across Xperia T for 240€, which is good enough for me. I know every phone has its issues, so I ask you if you think this would be a good choice. Im suprised at how "cheap" it is with such a fancy camera and other specs (which I dont really need), but I cant find a decent phone that has TV-OUT within this price range.

I suggest taking the Xperia V. It's a little smaller (an advantage imo) and waterproof ^^
By the way it also has LTE support, if that matters for your region

Internals are almost identical, but...
Xperia V is waterproof, and is smaller, and is having removable battery.
Xperia T is having bigger display, is better looking (this is subjective of course), and is having doubled internal memory.
Comparing them side by side...
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4958&idPhone2=4899
...you'll notice that Xperia V appears to be slightly taller and thinner, and this is where Xperia T gets my voice for being prettier.
They are actually the same height, but V is 2,3mm thinner, and bezels appear bigger.
I was in the same dilemma three months ago, when I sold my Xperia Arc S, and I chose Xperia T, and honestly, I love this phone.
It's sexy, nicely built, and Jelly Bean is working quite good out of the box. This is the first phone that I haven't armed with some custom ROM.
It all comes down to personal taste really, when choosing between T and V. Some will say V, some will say T.
I say check some reviews, some videos, and make your own decision. Never ask for suggestion on public forums.

Im in Germany, and the XT is some sort of a really cheap nice deal, and its not same prized like the XZ. You pay nearly 100euro more for the XZ
You can get the XT round about 230euro +/-
But whatever, best argument for the XT is the look and feel and the displaysize-hardwaresize relation, better than on the XV.
And we have omnirom support, another good argument, if you like flashing custom roms
So we've all seen the leaked images of the Sony D6503 Sirius . Is this device going to be the next Xperia Z, in other words the 1st half of the year flagship device ? Only then to be replaced by a replacement of the Xperia Z1 in the 2nd half of the year ?
I've come to the conclusion that the 2nd half of the year models are generally better, they have refined all the mistakes in the earlier model. For example they made the Z waterproof but we were stuck with flaps for the headphone jack, no camera button and an early dock connector. They corrected all these things in the Z1. If I remember correctly they did the same thing with the Xperia S and T. The 1st half of the year flagship take a big jump in design and features but can be a little rough around the edges , the 2nd half devices are more finished in my opinion.
I've have the Xperia S and now the Z. I'm wanting to jump onto the 2nd half of the year devices (Not buy 2 handsets in one year). Thats why i'm curious is the new Sirius early flagship or the late one ?
Does anyone else agree with my thoughts on this ?
RE: Next Sony Flagship Device
well according to the rumors, it looks like a marginal upgrade from z1 but it still sports the same soc and camera and very similar hardware design. personally i do not see a reason to uograde

What usually happens is, in this case, everything before the Z will be left behind in the next major update. But.. this could change anytime of course with KitKat being a lighter OS version than previous allowing for weaker handsets to still perform with new updates.
Yes. I want all the new apps on my Z now, i'm sick of installing ports from newer devices to my current device that isn't even 12 months old !

Yeah... I don't really want to upgrade to the Z1 because the bezel is bigger. They need to keep it the same size as the Z in future phones.

It does not give any ROI buying the phone now because the S800 finishing its life span in terms of the king of the benchmark. I am waiting for snapdragon 805 that is because it graphics benefit and it would be " future proof" because it is 64 bit. I am pretty sure that Qualcomm is going finishing the support for it because successor of the kitkat would be 64 bit so it will be a good excuse to just abandon devices business is business

the Z was the first proper flagship phone from Sony. Waterproof features and all.
It was the first and there were many lessons learnt from it. ie: flaps, display, bezel etc etc
Thus, come the Z1 which address the issues above (earphones without flaps, magnetic cable charging without opening flap, etc)
Hence, I would think the changes to the new phone itself would be marginal. be it Z2 or Z3 etc.
Even in the looks dept, there wouldnt be much difference because Sony is taking the Omnidesign as the core
The difference would be in the hardware spec IMO
But I seriously hope the camera would be improved cos we have the hardware for it.
I'm still hoping there will be Red for the new phone. I would move if there's Red. if not I might think twice about "upgrading" from Z to Z2

Ok my bad:silly:, adreno improvement are interesting
Well i am thinking for buying Xperia Z from ebay india for INR.23364($377) and its very cheap as it comes with 1 year seller warranty for both hardware & software...while original price of Xperia Z with Sony Warranty is - INR.28-29,000 ($460)
almost difference of INR 5,000($83)
I need your advices if i should go with it or not as its with seller warranty..is it reliable ?
Seller shabbeerhf1 (a POWER SELLER) is however is good with 99.4% positive feedback with more than 12271 feedback and i have seen its listings of imported sony smartphones from pst 1.5 years and he is sellings cheap and also may pieces Sold by him i.e. about 200 or sometimes 300 too
He is selling other Sony smartphones at cheap rates with same 1 year seller warranty liek Xperia Sp, Xperia M , Xperia ZR etc.
and its states the phone will be box packed brand new sealed .

I have earlier also bought Xperia Neo V with 1 year seller warranty for about 13k earlier and between 3-4 days it becomes dead so i send him back and i get a new replacement which is still running cool and almost 1.3 years old..
no problem at all...
But i am confused with Xperia Z from this seller..
also if
1) Xperia Z is good and reliable phone will run cools without any hardware problem within 1 year ?
I can fix Software problem myself...
If Xperia Z is good phone with this price ??
2) Is its processor is good as Snapdragon 400 which is found it in Moto G & Galaxy grand 2 ??
as its antutu scores have little differences almost b/w 18,000 to 20,000..
3) I have also emailed him and ask for replacement and he said it wll have 3 days replacement warranty for Defects such as Dead and after that period only service will be given.. So is it fine ??
4) if anybody have bought any item or same Xperia Z from this seller then can you tell me about your experience ?
5) If there is any kind of problem with Xperia Z which has occurred to you guys within 1 year or is it still fine like memory bug in Samsung galaxy phones such as S2,S3,Note ,Note2 etc which lead to totally dead phone and costs huge bucks to replace motherboard ??
6) I will just Root this phone and use stock ROM+KERNEL , so no any modifications which will lead to any risks or any mistake which will create any defect in the phone itself ..
Need your advice guys..
Thanks in Advance.
No one ??

If you just want an android phone, look at samsung or lg.
If you want Xperia now, go get t2 ultra, its screen is better, front cam is better, and runs 4.4.2 (same as ZR), and can app2sd.
The only situation when I will recommend this phone (again, in 09/2014) is the fact that it can switch batteries.

Yes, the specs are slightly lower classed, but the ability to app2sd sort of nailed it.
As for update, for ZR, after the planned 4.4.4, I highly doubt 5.0 will ever come.

Speaker sound: Since it on the back of the phone you barely hear it clear or loud... except you turn it around, turn a volume up or used you hand to redirect a sound.
Internal Storage: 8GB.... while system eat up nearly 3GB. and no way to move app to SD card without a root.
And some rumor I heard was All Z series will have Android L for sure.
ps. I'm not good with english

As I said, a rumor.
Source from a shop in my country, Its in Thai language. that why I won't quote at first place.
If you want to read, here

They said
"Every Xperia phone in Z series going to have an update to Android L.
Congrats all of Z series owner.
The other series are not going to have it.
Got it?"
Still no more trust worthly source talk about this yet.
Cons: You pay extra for the xperia brand, get a Xiaomi or Oppo etc. if you dont care about waterproofing etc.
Pros: ITS WATERPROOF. Also its exactly the right size for a phone IMO.
Totally worth it.

Good morning everybody,
So here's the situation, I actually have an LG G2, Awesome phone, and I want to return to the Xperia family, I don't have any problem with my G2 like software or hardware, but it is cursed, I bought it like, last august, on month later, it broke, I repaired it and one month later the same problem the screen broke, so i'm a bit of maniac right now lol, and now i'm facing a dilemma, knowing that i'll buy the next xperia flagship, Am I going to buy the Z1 ? or the Z2? please help me a little bit, I prefer the Z1 but, like the Z2 has a better camera and cpu, so is it worth to buy the Z2 ? or will I stick to the Z1 ?
Thanks everybody have a nice day

As far as I know, the Z1 and the Z2 (even the Z3) have almost the same, if not the same, 20.7 Mpx sensor. The difference is the available features that Sony has allowed to be available for each phone. The CPU is only a minor bump if you look at it, and won't really make THAT big of a difference. But if you want something that could potentially be more "future proof" then go Z2. Besides, the Z2 has a MUCH better display, and the stereo speakers are better than the bottom speaker of the Z1.
P.S. I have an Xperia Z1. Goodluck on choosing bro! Maybe look at reviews and comparisons of the phones on Youtube.
I just got a Z1 and I love it! Install lollipop on it if you don't mind installing custom ROM's and it will become a beast
