im not sure if it's stereo, coz i watched a hands on video from eprice, the people said the speaker is very good, can compare with htc one, just that it is facing the bottom, so you have to use ur hand to redirect the sound

yeah... i think the viewing angle is ok. it's not like tilting the screen abit and the screen goes white and unreadable at all... it is still ok even when u tilt the screen to a certain degree... text is still readable and all... it's only at extreme angle that everything is unwatchable.

of course this is a weakness, and i think eveyone here knows it and some accept it. but this issue is actually not that big deal. some people making a big fuzz of this issue is just nip picking.

fantastic...getting ready to trade in my ZL for the Z1

err... only 1 speaker at the bottom right? how to be stereo leh?

I agree I am nip picking. Hehe

Because I need extreme screen. I no longer can accept slightly color shift screen.

It is not stereo.

yes, i know u r

so, how's the latest comparison picture? u analyzed them already? there's alot of picture there.

Tomorrow just check. I didn't bring back laptop.

Check via phone is not accurate. Hehe.

Since we are at it... another video on viewing angle. i think it's good enuf

eh, not Itsuki kah?

Apple just released a phone with a f/2.2 aperture. so iphone managed to fit in a bigger lense in a slimmer profile.

Apple always do great in camera, no deny on that.

iPhone camera default can take good picture since iPhone 4. Its a standard comparison for phone camera.

but i believe they less a spec compared to android phone thus able to fit bigger/better lens with slimmer profile

I heard the sensor is 15% bigger, so optic/lens is 15% bigger. And now aperture also bigger. That's engineering feat.

"Sony’s Xperia Z1 features an impressive 5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display with Triluminos and X-Reality technology. The screen is capable of 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, rated at a whopping 440 ppi. The Xperia Z1 has great viewing angles, and the colors really pop out. The brightness levels is also really impressive in this handset."

not sure about all these camera spec. but what i found is

aperture size:
IP5s - f2.2
Z1 - f2.0
so f2.2 is bigger right? what does this means actually? what the advantage of having bigger aperture?

sensor size:
Z1 - 1/2.3"
IP5s - increased by15%... so how big is it?
with bigger sensor means capturing more light???

sorry, noob in photography

Z1 aperture bigger

Z1 sensor still bigger

Z1 is bigger
bigger aperture means more light can pass thru the lens

hope this helps:

No, f2.0 is bigger than f2.2.

It means how big is the opening. If aperture big, opening is big, more light come in, brighter picture, better quality because less noise.

Bigger sensor capture more light if megapixel remain the same. Means if 1" sensor, 10Megapixel capture 2x more light than 20Megapixel.

Increase by 15% means 15% bigger than iPhone 5S.
