As a long time Nokia fan, you're officially in the running for my next phone.
looking good Sony continue the great work and I can't wait to add this device to my Xperia ZL. On a side note, everybody is bias one way or another. So in the long run I guess that makes everyone some form of fanboy.
AnonD-182459, 08 Sep 2013The true innovative company is Sony!!Sony came back with a vengeance! If the price is right I could really see Sony becoming one of the leading companies in Smartphone industry! Totally blown away by the Z1!!!
Anonymous, 07 Sep 2013what?? what tech did they bring?? a 20mp camera wich is not that great...i really was expectig... moreNot just same design....same PREMIUM design of Z and Z1, while Note 3 has same CHEAP design.
The true innovative company is Sony!!
I don't see the viability of QX as it is not a tangible upgrade for the inbuilt camera of Xperia Z let alone Z1.
The perfect pair would be the QX series with HTC One or the Butterfly S. Then the QX won't be redundant as it is much better than the 4MP ultrapixel.
Its too late, the lame xperia z has already tainted this series of devices with its laggy overlay and terrible viewing angles, the z1 needs to lose that bad image but will struggle as it looks almost identical to the failed xperia z.
im using xperia z and its the best smartphone till LG G2.im very much satisfied with my xperia z.
i want to upgrade to LG G2.
I HATE TOO BIG PHONE Z1 LOOKS LIKE OVER SIZED PHONE BECAUSE OF ITS TOO BIG BEZEL AND UPPER AND BOTTOM SPACE.
5inch phones are good for those with big hands. hope the mini version of z1 will come out like the zr only with most of the z1's specs, removable battery and, most importantly, more internal memory. it should be at least 16gb.

I disagree with you Gsmarena when you say that Z1 is a camera centric smartphone, it is much more than that, it has a beast camera while standing on top three of benchmark charts, it has quite everything a top dog android is meant to have.
How amazing is the xperia Z1, let everyone silent, taking photos as crazy.
