I think the more powerful the processor, the more energy efficient it is going to be. This is the first time Sony uses the top of the line processor for their phone. Everything in it screams upgrade for me.

QUOTE(joytest @ Sep 6 2013, 01:52 AM) Doesn't rooting any of the current Sony phones cause a loss of the TA partition and therefore loss of the Bravia Engine and X-reality? They ask you to root by handing them your IMEI and tracking that you're rooted therefore out of warranty.... I could be wrong.......was it the bootloader.... but rooting a Sony seems to have more steps to avoid messing things up than a Samsung. Rooting Sony phone is not a necessary unlock the bootloader. Only unlock bootloader if want playing CM/AOKP/AOSP and third party kernel. TA partition need to be backup and backup TA required root, the safer way is wait root that does not required unlock the bootloader so in future can restore TA anytime to gain back Bravia Engine/X-Reality for image view in Album app only. Unlocked bootloader only affected Image view at Album app lost Bravia Engine/X-Reality, Video wise still functional well without lost the Bravia Engine/X-Reality and always working in third party app.

QUOTE(Areas Elysian @ Sep 6 2013, 01:24 AM) One thing I suspect that gives the Note 2 its awesome battery life (other than the fact that it's 3100 mAh), would be the fact that it's underpowered. Inside the Note 2 are basically the processors of the Galaxy S2, which is an older slower CPU/GPU setup. With the Note 3/Z1, they're both up to date high end CPU/GPU running at FullHD.. Same as S2? Note 2 is similar spec as S3 not S2.

QUOTE(iceman31 @ Sep 6 2013, 01:44 AM) it has the new snapdragon 800. wait till someone got hand on it and try the battery usage dev support ? its sony! they even ask you to root it! Nor-matter how it still obvious Samsung having a lot development at XDA than Sony. Sony do have few quality developer but it not really that much though. I don't think Sony is real encourage you to root, if Sony really are, Sony won't un-stop fixing exploit find by developer in every single firmware roll out.

Z imo is the first Xperia with the most steady price ever even with a dated processor. So can u imagine how much the successor can stack up? This will be the phone where I won't wait for something better anymore for already...
