is ZL camera better than nexus 4?

Coming from a Nexus 4, i would say yes..
But for ZL indoor shots i find it better when i use normal mode and change the settings compare to superior auto..

Reporting about latest firmware .67 from ZL

Until now, Didnt notice the display flicking/vibrating yet.. hope SONY really fix it and dont appear anymore.. will report day to day within this week..

Performance: Home launcher really smooth, no lag. RAM available increase a bit (but not important). Camera doesnt improve in quality.. but improve in term of focusing, and show the real aperture should have.. good to capture near item/people face/macro like flower..

Battery: reduce battery life.. at least until now, im screen on time around 45minutes, but left only 68%. but maybe cause of xperia fb sync at background. (I'm clean format whole phone). My setting: Only Data, GPS,AutoSync turned on alwys. Others dont have.

Battery bug, i will report later. Previously, when phone battery left only below 40%, after turned off and on, phone battery indicate higher battery %. Hope SONY can fix it as what it claims.

Display: much correct white in background from default setting white balance.
POST 2 photos from indoor..

Touch focus does improve the focus area and show the aperture works (blurring the background). I simply capture on the mic and my iPad keyboard. I focus on mic and focus on "Enter Key" of keyboard.. Quality is still not so well in indoor.

what about battery n4 compare to ZL?
*
N4 is quite bad compare to ZL (Stock N4)
But after getting the right rom and kernel with some tweaking, improved a lot.
But not sure if compare to ZL, forgotten.

I'm using it naked for almost a month now n can assure that the lens does not get hit/make contact when laid on a table as the lens itself is slightly recessed. The only part that will be in contact is the camera module's outer ring.
However I'm still looking for nice fitting case. Tried a few pasar malam cases but the fitting was quite off. Loose on the edges n etc.

Nillkin/rock should be quite fitting.
Can get around rm2x from eBay with free shipping

I have serious problems. How can my xperia zl suffer "sudden death" with this update 10.3.1.A.2.67.  Before this my xperia never happen like this. Even with new update but with this update my xperia sudden death happened. i thought it just a normal crash, but it happened again and again.

i have to connect it to my charger to turn it on. hard reset or normal way are useless.

when i connect it to the charger, everything goes smoothly, sudden death never happen. so i think (and i hope) this is just some software problems.

what should i do now?

thanks.
