A slight difference between the display quality of both the phones.. I want to compare the cameras of both.. as the showstopper of xperia z1 is its camera.. Can I hope to get it in any upcoming article ?
yes sure, next article will compare the sizes of both and then we will put cam pics together 🙂
almost similar screen quality on both Xperia Z and Z1, my Z Ultra was better.
so viewing angle not improved in Xperia Z1 ?
Whatever i still love my Xperia Z, it’s the best 🙂
Xperia Z1 wins sure…i love this device <3
nice pics….XZ seems more brighter to me.
Lets face it z its way better eye to screen, the whites looks real to life while z1 is yellowish
Viewing angles z1 is slightly better not a deal breaker though
Gosh stil love my z Mehn
Plz camera comparism
yes camera comparison coming tomorrow…
Yes a slight yellow hue is there in Xz1 display…
I think Z1 has a slightly better contrast. But what surprises me that i thought the Z Ultra’s screen has really high contrast but it doesn’t.
Can you tell me what OS version is for Xperia Z? Coz the first 3 images of Xperia Z shows the battery icon as vertical which is not in the current 4.2 version (.244) which is horizontal?
Thats XZ1/ZUltra ported rom on XZ.
Btw there are mods also to make battery stand.
I think you should not shoot close-ups with a wide-angle lens.
Use a long focal length from a distance, so that both phones are shot from nearly the same angle.
