Its different with poor viewing angle and providing privacy, its just the color is washed out but doesn't mean you can't see ... And I don't see somehow its a pros... Butterfly still have the best viewing angle in my opinion

Concurred on the beauty of this phone! simplicity at its best!

I not sure on this Z as it not out yet but I do checkout Xperia V and for me if was not affecting viewing experience usage.

And due to it wash out issue, looking at side was not that clear compare with great viewing angle on my S III.

XZ is IP57-certified for dust and water resistance la, they even dipped into fishbowl. If really got such issue sure users will f**k Sony Kau Kau on this.

I knew it was certified, but im not sure their xperia tablet s has any certificate or no but sony market it as a splash proof, howeva due to d manufacturer defect that coz a gap between the screen n water able to enter the device, sony had to recall all n put a halt on production. Hope no such issue with xperia z.

any recommended shop in selangor to get this when it comes out?

buy straightly from sony store

Waah cant wait for march to buy this phone.. but also wonder what kind of phone sony will reveal in febuary, d mobile world conference.

more interested to see how the competitors fight back
but the xperia z is definitely a beauty.

SONY XPERIA Z was extreme famous! Everywhere was talk about, hands-on & review on it.
This time round SONY was success at least on it annoucement.

Too much to list all and digest on it!

SONY XPERIA Z not only high spec, but as well elegance & beauty design with solid material. Coming Samsung Galaxy S IV probably will higher spec than this with tones of cool Samsung extra functionality base on motion and gesture, but I doubt Samsung can release an elegance solid body as Samsung never have solid body, instead superb plastic.

Sure wish this phone will come before CNY.

I also hope so, but it seems not so possible, left around 28 days only for coming CNY.

So, now I just hope it came end of Feb or earlier March, please don't be too late, things easier get cool if pending too long.

Impressive, but still wait for a proper drop test review.
