That back glass. The aluminium feel around Z1. Simply poisoning.

errr... the back on Z1 is glass, but the back on Z1C.... is plastic...

but i guess its most probably for weight saving and to minimize the thickness...

haha. I was indeed saying Z1 feels very premium.

For Z1C, can't complain much, it is a compact version of Z1, something has to be compromised.

I kinda feel like happy and sad at the same time. Glass rear panel feels good to hold and look nice to see but very
fragile,meanwhile plastic rear panel legit and liar but not easily broken.

Conclusion: If the plastic feels and looks like the glass it wouldnt bother me(is fake). Because somehow, if the device is that expensive I want it to be real glass not fake glass!

Meanwhile for Japan version of z1 compact aka z1f has a real glass instead of a fake one for international version. The z1f weights about 3 grams heavier than the international one. How can a 3 grams heavy until where like seriously we need to save that 3 grams...

well... japanese are known to have this habit of saving the best for themself.. take it as cost cutting then..

Materials are cut but not the price

Because they are built to last. You can use the product for 30 years (e.g. Walkman headphones) and it still sounds better than most modern headphones. Instead of changing one every 6 months where one side of the earphone gone kaput, even if its 10 times more expensive it is still cheaper in the long run.

huhu everyone here very praised sony products very much .. make me feel very2 proud to be working with SONY hehee

btw, lime color is my target if the price is within my budget

Agreed, it's premium products.

Today I tested my Sony 2Mpx digital camera dan my old videocam, still work perfectly.

Tonight I use back my old Sony Speaker cradle (from my old Sony Clie PDA), the sound still same as few years back. The mini speaker I bought from another brand only can use for 1 year or 2.

Back to phone part, My XPeria S still look new and never give me a problem. Xperia X8 still use by my elders son and my little brother. Xperia U given to my niece last month. And lastly Sony Ericsson Satio also given to my niece last month. See how 'premium' Sony is, even 2009 Satio work fine until today, all with original item including battery.

The only phone I really miss is SE P910, bought at RM2999. Get stolen inside the LRT.

Oh the old SE P series. The QWERTY is pretty hard to type for small hands to balance the top heavy device. Would prefer it on the screen.

Those are the epic phones of the 00s

why so expensive? taiwan's sony website only $15,380 which is around RM16xx
