hi guys, i don't own one (yet?) but would love to know if the Waterproof (IP58) is up to expectations? Has anyone encountered any issue with water entering the phone?

Haven't really heard of any problems from here so far in terms of water damage
Me myself I've been using it even in swimming pool n all, fully submerged

Hi everyone,

My Z1 battery drain quiet fast and when i use the camera to take picture, the camera app will be stop and a message will mention the phone is overheat so can't use camera? Any way to solve this? tq

not sure how u guys get this.. i nvr see that msg thru out .534 to .290.. even when im charging -.-
not so long yet with .290 but i dun think so i will see it..

woo, transparent soft button bar?!

Hopefully we get this too when Android 4.4 hit in Z1!



The Sony D6503 ‘Sirius’ will support 4K video recording, a feature that was much rumoured for the Xperia Z1 ‘Honami’ last summer. This time it is included as can be seen in the camera app below.

Another great new feature is “Timeshift video” that will allow you to record in a high frame rate which you can then apply slow motion effects to. We imagine this is something similar to slow motion video on the iPhone 5S, which captures video at 120 frames per second in 720p, with slow-mo effects added after.'



Smart backlight control is a really neat feature that keeps the screen awake as long as you are looking at it. If you look away the screen will turn off. This is similar to Samsung’s Smart stay feature it has in some of its Galaxy range.



Another great new feature is motion control for handling calls. Enabling “Smart call handling” allows you to answer or reject calls using motion gestures. To answer a call, you simply need to bring it towards your face. To reject calls you can shake the device. If you want to turn the ringer off, then simply place the phone face down.



One of our favourite features of the Xperia Tablet Z is the ability to wake the screen with a double tap. Looks like this is also headed to the Sony D6503 Sirius.



Under the settings you will notice a new option for ‘Home’. Sony is including two home launchers to use with your device.




It looks like Sony will introduce a “What’s New” feature that will be an additional pop up, when you swipe up. As can be seen below, there are options for What’s New and Google Now when you swipe up.
We don’t know exactly what is “What’s New”, but it could be a lifestyle feature or Sony’s answer to Google Now.



We recently saw a mode to do exactly this, but it looks like Sony will include a “Close all” option in the Recent apps menu in its KitKat UI.

SOS

So many changes in android 4.4  Hopefully Z1 get all the features

4kvideo and timeshift video probably wont appear to older phone.. should be special feature for newer phone.. but others smart screen, smart call handling should be  available for us..

Guys ,

I have some issue here, dont know if you guys also have it, i wonder why my Wifi sometime will auto disconnect and popup " wifi network available" even when the phone is connected to hat network, already formatted the phone and using .257 fw, is there any solution for this issue since i've search on xda and cant find one. quite annoying

eh ZeneticX you remember the guy who had his phone killed by 3rd party cable? i want to check with the fella if his repair was charged or how they 'rectified' the issue

I found out that camera on this z1 is not up to expectation. . It looks great on phone but not on the computer.

With Sony G lens, 20mp, 2.0 aperture, I was expecting at least on the same level as iphone (tho it should be better as specs speak it all) but it is way off. .

can you guys post some pictures taken with this phone? I just wonder if there any tweak, etc.

My first impression on the z1 camera is not so good. I hate it! .. .
