I don't get it. Why would they launch 2 similar phones when they can just launch one? Unless the other one is gonna cost cheaper, then it'd be understandable
similar spec but with slight differences of features & design to capture more consumers see 1st post more info spoiler for the differences

Thanks for the effort, TS.
Noob question here, full retail price means with or without data plan? And also, you may want to include review from local such as soyacincau and lowyat.net? http://www.lowyat.net/2013/01/17/3690/vide...uick-drop-test/ but one comment about drop test, if you drop it on rough surface such as tar surface, it's very different story lol.
i need to go play fireworks 1st, later will continue edit

I know. But what's the point of launching ZL when Z is gonna be more attractive? Besides, ZL itself indicates that it should be the one which has the better specs. No? But I don't see any Japanese nor International variation here for both models. Do you?
I don't get it. Why not just focus on the selling of Z? I have a slightest thinking that ZL won't be a success
but i c xperia ZL, it is better looking thn xperia Z

I think some if not most girls won't like ZL's camera position. the camera will be at their chin level haha. Sony didn't think about this trivial marketing strategy.
actually won't ler, if u use Nokia n9 front camera b4, thn u will knw ady

Thanks for your answer.. this is my first time buying sony's smartphone..so i don't know how to answer.. ya..saw it at xperia blog, too..quite surprised with the update, cause even now samsung just starting to roll out 4.1.2.. i think this might only be alpha build.. saw the post.. i think ours will not be locked bootloader, so we can root directly..
i think so, but hopefully sony is able to release the update in 1 month time bcauz they say they want 2 do it

XZ and Butterfly have same performance since both use S4 Pro. Butterfly quadrant also 8K. Bur both lose to One though
Qualcomm got arm license to design new arm structure mar if they cannot design a better processor, they can close shop fire all their architecture n follow original arm 15 design instead
