Sony is ridiculous this year! Total 9 difference model of Xperia had been announcing/release up to date today!!!

Xperia Z, ZL, ZR, SP, M, L, E and two Japan model Xperia A & UL.

=_=!!!

well, A = ZR. A is for japan only while ZR is international model. basically they are the same phone, only slight diff in spec like those TV tuner thingy...

and so far, Z, ZL and ZR have very very similar spec. when it comes to release updates, i think they will be similarly released for them. Thus far, i think any updates for Z are also released same time for ZL right?

prior to this, S, SL Acro S and Ion also similar spec. their updates also similar and releases quite at the time (... except now still pending JB for ION...)

yeah... flagship model have the safest bet of getting updates (hopefully won't end up like XS, getting JB update almost the last one... sweat.gif )

but what i don't understand is all the diff variant of "flagship" model released...
Z, ZL, ZR and UL - high end model
SP - mid range
L, M, E - low end

is there a need to release so many diff variant of the flagship model? or does the ZR consider mid range cos of smaller screen size?

Actually Sony release too much.

Z, ZL = same, just one without water resistance. If already thinking of ZR release, the ZL is extra, lucky it look quite nice in actual.

ZR for people prefer smaller size, even it is only 4.6 but still can use 1080P screen, so I count this as middle-high.

SP - Mid range.

L, M, E - all low end, too many low end series.  (M mention as middle range, for me, sorry this is low end phone)

---------------------------------------
UL is Japan only, a bit like ZL in worldwide, A is Japan also, similar as ZR. Actually I seen no point release specific slightly different / change name for Japan only.

but comes to think of it. samsung also doing the same for their flagship
S4 8 core
S4 LTE
S4 active (spec unclear yet)
S4 google edition
S4 mini (low/midrange)

maybe this is the current trend of making the most out of your best selling model

well, if you study back sony's announcement, "soon" is a favourite words from Sony.
when launching TX, said JB update will be available soon after...
same thing with Z, also said 4.2 update will be available soon after...
not to mention JB for XS... also countless "soon"...

vague marketing promises only

okay.. after my findings from yesterday until now.. i find something interesting..

1. Smart Lockscreen protector This can disable people turn off our phone (No root required). *The things i wish to get*

If phone get turned off, then everything is gone.. cant track GPS, cant do anything at all after phone turn off..

2. GotYa!
Just paid on it. It can capture the face of people who trying to unlock ur phone with wrong password.. will send to email, fb with location track enabled... u can remote control by SMS. to play alarm..

i just tried these 2 apps now.. totally people cant turn off the phone and turn off the volume of phone at all..

with these 2 combination, i think temporary fulfill my needs.. people cant turn off my phone, he will get face trapped to my email, he will get caught..

rm8 required only for total.. 1 free apps, 1 paid apps.PLUS xz/xzl is battery non removable.. i recommend to u all for my findings.. to protect our expensive phone..

hi, with the smart lockscreen protector, if we press the power+vol up button, will the phone still restart?

cos if the phone still restart, and if you have set the SIM pin, your phone will be stuck on this screen and all the data/gps will be temporary off.
