i met this guy in xda forum - topic Xperia Z IPS Screen discussion [LOOKS PROMISING [VIDEO UPDATED 18/02] refer link below.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108274

he made a video to make sure how bad the viewing angle of the screen is, but actually quite the opposite, it was very good actually. check out the video below.

i wana mentioned 1 thing here, after i read the comment section, he claimed that the display had the protector sheet removed by the sony store. and from the video, we can c the sony logo still present. i even asked him was he certain about it then he reply to me

so can we conclude that the production unit will have the logo printed on the body instead of the protector sheet? however personally im still not convince until sum1 will make a drop test or scratch test of the production unit, im sure they will take off the sheet and then the mystery will unveiled itself whether the logo is on the body or the sheet.

Actually there's a screen protector on top of the shatterproof sheet..so there's 2 layers...Maybe they took off just the screen protector?It's hard to say...

i mean generally la.. is it more worth to buy in sony center or outside shop?

I remember getting my xperia arc in the 1st or 2nd week when its launched in malaysia at my usual telephone shop..

The rrp was 2199 iinm but the shop sell me ori set for 1950 only..and it includes all the freebies that sony promised..

I think it depends on the situation..but wont you be surveying abit especially when you are gonna buy something this expensive to compare price 1st? tongue.gif

I was totally sold for this phone, until I have two friends using Sony phone kept telling me not too or wait for a while first.

Both of them claim the built quality is not good enough, and the HTC One is sexy too XD

I'm more keen to Xperia Z though, want to lay my hands on it!

coming from a xperia arc,I love sony's phone..Eventhough i like HTC one but i dont really like its ui..not to mention im not so familiar with htc's custom development..
While on the other hand im sure sony will have custom development and roms for sure..

And i would definitely not getting it first batch(learnt from my lesson for getting xperia arc first batch).
I will wait for a while before deciding to get the xperia z and at the mean time i could wait for a price drop.. biggrin.gif

Me too coming from arc. Xperia Z will be my first Sony (no ericsson) phone.btw im just wondering what is the issue with arc first batch? My arc dont sure which batch but for sure not the first batch as i bought it on august 2011, ap set.

Btw just to share a bit, just when i went to sony centre, i looked a xperia v display, the screen is quite stunning already. Im sure xperia z will be much more stunning. Oo really cant wait.
*
Hmm,so far the only thing i can remember is the arc will turn off by itself when its in my pocket...After awhile it's fixed by its own,maybe fixed by software update,not sure.. tongue.gif

Also,the video recording is a little bad as the audio and video is not in sync..

Not to mention theres the hairline crack at the sensors...

Last but not least,the chrome paint part which will fall off after some time(about a year) which makes it looks ugly.. doh.gif

And i bought the phone ori set on 1-4-2011 at a price of 1950.. sweat.gif
So expensive and it depreciates sooo fast...dropped a few hundred after 1 or 2 months.. cry.gif

Think this time if im gonna buy it,will compare with htc one and samsung s4 1st. Im a sony fan,but if the xperia z is smoked too far behind by htc/samsung then i will not get the xperia z..Also,i will definitely get ap set and wait awhile for the price to drop a little first..

I bought my arc bout 1200 or 1400 i cant remember, but an ap set. Until now i love my arc however due to its single core proc n very low internal memory, my arc lag frequently n i unable to update most of the apps. Build quality is good altho it is plastic mostly. But i did has that hairline crack at the sensor area. My chrome paint is still like new as i protected it wit tpu case ever since i bought the phone. The arc looks very sexy without the case but it feels too fragile, i always feel insecure when it is naked, so i sacrificed the sexiness for better protection.
*
haha,ive thrown away my clear tpu case as it has grown yellowish over time and the paint still fall off despite the case...
But i have to admit,my sony survived many falls due to my carelessness...tongue.gif
Still,theres many cracks on the front cover other than the hairline crack on the sensor and the back cover suffered some paint chipped off..

Not sure this have anything to do with sony's build quality or not.. tongue.gif

It's well known bout this thread here. If you look at One thread, you'll find that they don't even bother whether their One camera or XZ camera is better/superior. For them they gonna buy the phone because they like it. End of story hmm.gif

Read the first few post,they say the "washed out colors" of the screen is because thats the color of the wallpaper,its gray and not fully black...

Oh ya!! I almost forgot another problem i had with my xperia arc..
Hope its better in xperia Z...
The problem is the touchscreen...If you press one spot on the screen then press another spot very quickly,it will be registered as a swipe..also,the screen will kind of like shake around even when your finger is touching the screen but didnt move...(I dont know how to explain this second problem.. sweat.gif )

Still,what i want to say is that my current smart phone is almost 2 years old and the touch screen is not very good compared to the iphone 4 which was released earlier than xperia arc..i can say that iphone touch screen is sooo smooth that it totally smoked xperia's touch screen...So i want to know whether xperia z faces this problem or not..how smooth will the touch screen be?

My friend which working under the tan electronics sony centre told me that the dock is only coming with the preorder package.

:/ I hope that's not true

It COULD still come as freebies as previous sony flagships all comes with freebies to attract buyers to buy and after a few weeks or 1/2 months,the price will drop and there will be no freebies...

So in other words we are paying for the freebies..tongue.gif
