This is my SOT,..


Attached thumbnail(s)

Almost same like my nexus 4 battery life

Z
+ waterproof
+ flagship, more recognized

ZL
+ smaller, better grip at the back, easier to hold
+ same proc, RAM, and screen size as Z
+ cheaper
+ no fiddly flaps
+ physical camera button with half-shutter

I prefer ZL.

Z
+got earlier firmware update than ZL

ZL
+got infrared port..Z got or not? i'm not so sure

this cannot say which 1 better.. but personal choose ZL just wanna try the remote control for tv, radio and air cond.. but i only able to control tv and radio.. even old model tv also can.. hmm..

i choose ZL and just bought on today because of

Fully White panel, front and back
High specs
Cheap price
Small & compact, suitable for me small hand..
extra is can get good quality earphone..

few hours usage and updated to latest firmware.. still satisfy.. screen washed out from other viewing angles is not so serious and i dont mind it.. coz i am sure i will not act so stupid action to view my phone from side or top/bottom.. haven't try to take a good photo.. will try it tmr.. now is just prepare all apps i need.. make a good settings..

what does SOT mean?
son of turtle?

Screen On Time?

My preference is XZL as it serves my need as daily driver and as for me it not necessary to have Water/Dust Proof device..

So far XZL are really good design, well build, not that big compare to XZ.
One thing I liked the most is the LED light in XZL, it looks as THE EYE..

After 3 months using XPZ with black dot at lens defect, finally I sent for warranty claim at Sony today. They promises to replace new set for me next week. I'm happy.

True also... who would view his phone from the side? Got privacy some more.

But actually, I view my phones from the sides. I put them on the meter panel of my car and use Waze so they're like 45% slanting.

The first time I saw the LED while charging, I thought it's so cool! And I thought it would pulsate when I have a notification! But alas, it didn't... it just blinked. Still cool, though

I did not root my device , still on Stock Rom which serves me well.

+1

which firmware? 307?

mine still 253

hmm,the black dot at lens defect,is it similar to this ?
the A4 paper is blank but there is a black dot at the right side

Another thing is good on XZL is the Audio are really loud, clear and crispy..

Just now, i was at pasar malam, normally i need carry previous phone in order to hear the in call ringtone, but as for XZL, i put it in pocket, still able can hear phone ringing at that noisy environment..

Yup. Need 3days for replacement process and u need to give ur xpz to them. My xpz got scratch at frame body after 3xdrop. Getting replacement set is a bonus for me.

i got one dot.lazy to sent sony center becos need to give xpz to them.
