I know the classification. But 5' does feel like a tablet to me. I need something small and compact, thin and feels light enough to carry in my pockets. And most important I can operate it with on hand especially during driving.

2300mAH is a lot. My dad's Xperia SP last for two days normal usage and it is a 4.6".

but XSP only running a dual core processor la...
if wanna compare, should take XZ and XZR as reference. this should give a better idea of the battery performance

so far all aspect of this phone looks good. now if only sony really market z1c properly and not launch it quietly, partner with local telcos with affordable pricing... i'm sure this will be a successful product

hehe.. iphone for richfag.. sleep.gif

i think, who ever bought z1, must regret coz z2 will come only a few month ahead. then, z2 compact.  doh.gif bagi la can to those z1 owner proud with their gadget.  doh.gif i hope z1 compact will got no adik --> z2 compact.. after a year baru la ok.. coz price will drop much.. can c xperia z owner..  doh.gif

hmm.gif depends on how u see it... i think the rumored z2 is not really a huge upgrade from z1. a larger screen is not for me. i feel 5" screen is the max for myself. 4.3" is a tad too small... my personal feel is 4.6"/4.7" is perfect la. if the screen size keep increasing like this, i may be looking at z2 compact or other minis next year lo.

what else? maybe dual front speaker? most of the time i keep my phone mute when playing games. and seldom listen to music or watch video...

camera? so far i think the same. 4k video? so far i am only shooting HD video with my z1 and satisfied with it in terms of balance in quality and file size.

design? same...

in fact, i feel that this sirius may not even be z2 at all. seriously not enough improvement over z1 to be it's successor. but let us all wait and see la. so far all rumours only

technology changes very fast nowadays. if u keep chasing new releases, it'll be a never ending pursuit. important is get what u need, not what u want (unless u got lots of money to spare...).

and it's been a norm that so far sony releases 2 flagship per year. if u getting a sony flagship phone, gotta live with it

but the race is too fast..  doh.gif i don  wan sony become like samsung.. where they oweys produce new phone.. n causing their phone price dropped..  doh.gif look at the iphone.. their price not dropping so much..  rolleyes.gif

agreed with u..  thumbup.gif i think, i stick to z1 compact la.. i don really like huge inch of screen..  doh.gif a bit bulky for me..  doh.gif

what to do... for user may think of resale value... as a company, important is to stay ahead of the competition with new product.

well, samsung may have flooded the market and piss off alot of its supporters... but then look at where samsung is now. their strategy works and they are the market leader now in this industry. that's most important of all.

well clearly this phone is aimed at Compact kaki like me. thumbup.gif

Lets not forget that this suppose to be a top-tier phone in small size! not inferior mini version like One Mini 0r S4 mini.

i concur... putting the screen size aside, this is really a top end spec model.

It doesn't really matter anymore since it comes with the white balance setting. Yellow tint, blue tint, green tint... All can be adjusted.

I don't think its coming that fast. Then whats the point of releasing Z1C when Z2C is here to kill it off?

Err... Same case as in z killed t/tx and z2 killed z1???
And there's also rumors saying another xperia d6603 is in the works, maybe z3?

But I'm just saying la...

I know we all want an improved 2nd gen Compact...

So please buy Z1 Compact first... got sale, only they will make sequel... if Z1C sale not good, I doubt they will release another compact...

well, whether to wait for z2c, up to individual la. thus far no news or whatsoever rumours about z2c yet...

but if we look at the spec between the big brothers, z1 vs z2, i think the biggest difference is the screen. z2 uses ips which greatly improve the viewing angle of z1.

but looking at z1c, it already is using ips screen... so, what else is there to look forward for z2c?

slightly faster processor? stereo speaker? 4k video recording? are these important to your needs?
