Badly waiting for Xperia Z to be launched in India.
Would love to get the first Quad core processor phone from Sony.
Hope Sony wouldn't disappoint.
Only reason I'm looking forward to this instead of s4 is coz of sonys reputation of dev support. Any guesses on the price in India?

Pre orders are always expensive. Wait for it to hit the market & then wait for week or two for availability & you'll be able to get it at less than MRP.

htc in india has a crazy pricing policy, they will be super expensive always
sony will be competitive for sure.. should be below 40k as many are suggesting.
also fter seeing the Z , im unable to like any other new device (s4 leaked images yesterday) and m7.. the z series is absolutely stunning!

But Sony is also pricy bro. Every corporate company will try to gain as much as they want from ours in the first month itself. Its like the collections after the first week and second week of the movies.

They are seriously going to associate the "S3" name with this crap?
Can samsung really not make a small phone as good as iphone? Is this the downfall of the galaxy S brand image? No doubt the average person will compare this with the iphone 5 and it wont look good.
Epic fail, we want exynos.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Wow.... seriously?
That looks more like a repackaged original Galaxy S hardware.
i was surprised not to see 2 gig of ram
Its the Galaxy S Advance with a new design and JB, not impressed at all Sammy

The worst part of it all is that its called the "S3 mini".
"We'll be launching a 4-inch Galaxy S III on the 11th in Germany, there's a lot of demand for a 4-inch screen device in Europe. Some call it an entry-level device, but we call it 'mini.'"
Some call it iphone and you samsung clearly dont know what you are doing here. It's not like they dont already have 4" entry level phones.
They just want to trick customers into thinking this is a galaxy S3 in a smaller body. Epic fail samsung!!!!!!!

I suspect to the average Joe it is, quad core doesn't make it text any quicker or reduce the number of dropped calls and as for the camera you obviously can't squeeze the 8mp in such a small body.
Seems to me Samsung can't win elsewhere they're being lambasted for releasing the i9305 and devaluing the i9300 by relegating it to second fiddle and here for the mini not shoe Horning the S3 hardware into a smaller, more desirable?, chassis with a better screen.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Facepalm indeed. If these specs are true, the s3 mini would be lousier than the s2 and the galaxy s advanced. I would expect the mini to at least be as good as the s2

What are you talking about? The WVGA screen is not going to be anyway near as good. The iphone 5 has an 8MP camera, the 4S had as well and they are both very small phones.
The novathor chipset is not going to provide the smooth performance that people associate with the S3.
Why would a smaller body be more desirable? Many people like the big screen of S3 those who dont shouldnt have bought it. Yes the i9305 is actually a ***** move because it is everything the S3 is and more, a smaller S3 cant be that.
And you know even a galaxy S2 is fine for texting and calling so what is the point of this phone? Galaxy S2 is also pretty reasonably sized.
A 4" screen of 300PPI, a slightly under clocked quad core CPU and 8MP camera is what is needed from an S3 mini to compete with the iphone 5. Seems like apple excels at engineering more than anybody else when it comes to making a high end small device.
Cash grab yes but in this case it is perfectly reasonable because of two factors.
1. They have to make up the 1 billion dollars that Apple robbed them of somehow. Why not try and rob it from isheep that are holding back on the GS3 because of the size, they won't know any better.
2. Nobody knows if the GS4 and Note 2 will replicate the success of their predecessors, so they need to cash grab when they can. For example, I had the GS2 and GS3 but I won't be purchasing the GS4(unless I cave in) because I might be moving to Windows Phone just for a change of pace. The GS3 is the first phone in YEARS to make Apple release their iphone earlier than they wanted, it might not happen ever again. So instead of letting Apple gouge the consumers, I am perfectly okay with Samsung gouging for 2012. At least it is not Apple. Although the ipad mini might be a gouger.
Samsung made 7 billion dollars in the last quarter. They don't need to pull off something this stupid that can be damaging in the long term.
I am still hoping the device will either not be called S3 mini or will not have those sort of specs as leaked by the German site.

This wont hurt them. Nobody who bought the tab 2 7 or tab 2 10.1 knows that the tablet they bought licks ass even compared to the old 10.1. This one actually has a relatively new SOC at least. It should run decent with the lower res.
http://www.stericsson.com/products/u8500-novathor.jsp
Sony chipsets are fine. Although that article is sketchy because there is no U8420, U8500 is the lowest. That L9540 sounds like a beast though, it uses a power vr while the rest use the mali 400.

For some people the S3 is too big and imho this isn't aimed at S3 buyers anyhow, they're using the S3 as a halo device to attract people in, people who might buy into SJs belief that the iphone is the perfect size. And hard as it may be for you to believe, for some, the S3 in a smaller body with a better screen would be ideal.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Same reaction happened when the A1 Merc or Porsche Boxster was released. Purists where upset!
It's just a budget model, don't like it don't buy it. But it's about time they had one.
Wonder what Apple thinks of Sammy using there word mini? Bet jurors think it's an iPod mini clone. White, rectangle, smooth corners, uses the mini name
Swyped on I9300 - XXDLIB - Siyah kernel - JKay & Thunderbolt tweaks.
They're just abusing the name of S3 here, there's no point in this device. It was expected to be a direct competitor to the iPhone, but it isn't. There's no reason for anyone to buy this. Hardware is no good, price is high, it doesn't really compete with anything.

No it's not hard at all I myself was waiting for the S3 mini.
I personally find the S3 to be too big and guess what? I didnt buy it I am waiting for someone to make a smaller device as good as S3. However if I were to give in and buy the current S3 and then later a smaller version comes then I wont have any right to be pissed off. That would like ipad users getting pissed at the ipad mini.
So it really is official then.
Less pixels to push plus JB 4.1 should allow it to run pretty close to the GS3 with ICS. It will run fine, if you can live with the low resolution. lol
This post just made me look at my current galaxy s 3 and feel instantly sick.
A lte version released after the '' flagship'' device was released,
Now they release this "mini s3" I mean come on..
Build the mini with i9305 specs, ram and lte included but don't offend my eyes and call it an s3 mini...
Samsung seem desperate.. IMO

Hi Guys,
I have seen many questions and concerns by many users regarding Sony Xperia Tablet Z. I want to list down all the details here, please go through the list and post your general queries/questions/concerns here.
DISPLAY - I know on papers resolution of Nexus 10 is better than Xperia Tablet Z but in real XTZ has better screen, the blacks are real dark and image and video quality is far better than Nexus10, in Nexus 10 colors are bit washed out.
SDCARD - it supports upto 64GB - depending upon your model, I am using Japan Docomo LTE version 32gb and I am able to use my 64gb Sandisk card without any issues. Even I copied 7.93GB gb of media file without any issues (no formatting done from my side, using Sandisk)
SO-03E, SGP311, SGP312: SDXC up to 64GB
SGP321 SGP351 SGP341: Up to 32GB
BUYING EXPORT SETS & NOT ABLE TO USE 3G/4G - Goto Mobile Network & Settings -> Access Point Name -> Create a new APN (just Google how to)
PRE-APPLIED SCREEN PROTECTOR - Removing the pre-installed screen protector will NOT remove SONY logo, however if you are using Docomo set - it will remove the nttDocomo logo

Hi, I remember you were the 1st one who got this tablet
See its a failure, how many units has been sold, nobody knows n believe me number is very minimum.
On top of that, Xperia Tablet S launched in Singapore recently with a hefty price tag of SGD 750+
Nexus 10 is much better than Xperia Tablet S !!
Xperia Tablet S still carrying genetical WiFi issue, poor screen n old OS.

Just because small numbers of a device have been sold, doesn't automatically deam the product a failure.
There's been minimal advertising for both these tablets. Look at the TV and internet campaigns Sony do for their phones & tablets, then compare it to Samsung and Apple. Hardly anyone is aware these devices exist.
I already opened a thread for the XTZ news and rumours before you. Do we need another?

Maybe the the fact that there were so many build quality related problems + wifi, screen flickering issues (which arent fully gone) and the tablet costs 400 bucks for 10 gibs of memory.. Also accesosries come only from sony and cost a lot + tablets like acer210 got jelly bean(note:cheaper plastic tablet,not the "premium" Sony) while we are still waiting. And we will probably be stuck on it. Hopefully there will be a way to root it and unlock bootloader, otherwise im done with sony tablet for good.
Ps: Sony handsets get a totally different attitude, some of them even got a sony flashinfg tool, instructions to unlock bootloaders are on their site etc...
I don't get why Sony didn't opt for, I don't know, 2-3mm more for the depth and made the battery larger. Even the ipad 2 has a larger capacity battery. It doesn't matter to me that the new cpu and so on are more battery efficient, I want longer battery life not the same but thinner device.
Sony's marketing is a.'failure', not the products.

xperia tablet s a failure ?
WHY ?
Like their any tablets at release working properly atm...............
Compare xperia tablet s to a transformer
9/10 asus transformers have least 1 dead pixel on the screen no point to rma since just get back something broken anyway while asus quality control is non existant.
Samsung make cheap tablets made off cheap materials.
So what alternatives are their really left ?
Depends how one defines failure, sales, great reviews, etc. Sales wise I doubt it is a massive hit, I feel samsung, asus and acer have done better in that dept.
Owning a 7.7 from samsung, I can't agree with the statement that it is cheap, the 7.7 is one of the best built samsung tablets. but sadly the current crop of tablets from samsung is not, especially the the note 10.1, plastic everywhere Maybe this is something they will address at MWC this year, but I doubt it.
I just hope the xperia z tablet has a different design than the current tablet s, personally not a fan of the folded magazine design.

You're right, We do not have much choice.. I think that Sony has the best tablet on the market, too bad that the table don't have the software support it deserves.
and about Samsung, yes, is made of cheap materials, also Samsung UI is just depressing.. :/

Samsung's ui I agree is bad but its the software that ultimately pulled me away from Sony. Sure I loved timescape and all of Sony's ui but Samsung's multi window and gesture controls are amazing. If the xperia z tablet has some form of pen like the s-pen I'm in. I'm going to college next year and that pen to math equation app is amazing. Hope Sony delivers

Hi guys,
What you guys thinking, are you gonna quickly buy Xperia Z or planning to wait for the official announcement of Samsung Galaxy S4 or other phones!!
CONCLUSION
Buy Xperia Z - if you believe in Style with sufficient power.
Buy Galaxy S4 - if you want power house with Galaxy Signature design
Buy HTC One - if you want better sound, better display + Style << Xperia Z
XPERIA Z - My Opinion:
As m coming from Galaxy Note 2, i will compare these two and here are what I think the Pros & Cons of Xperia Z:
Pros:
-Beautiful Design
-Waterproof
-Good Camera (Rear only)
-Good Screen (View Straight)
Cons:
-Not the best screen (viewing angles)
-Speaker position is horrible
-Poor Battery Life (compared to Note2)
-Front Camera not so good
-Overheating Issues (can tolerate as its waterproof)
-Cannot use Default Launcher with Xperia Widgets: Lags like anything
WHAT I AM MISSING COMING FROM NOTE 2:
-MultiWindow
-Large Screen
-Customizable Notification Bar
-S-Pen

Agreed. Or swap batteries. Either way. I was planning on going with Sony this time around, but since no other company will be smart and allow it, my money will unfortunately continue to go to Samsung.
S4 will be significantly better.
Xperia Z only competes currently with S3 and it's an old device.
Re: Xperia Z - Quick Buy or Wait for Galaxy S4 ?
Wait another 5 months if you can, in that time many new devices will come up specially if there's a new nexus device

damn bought the nexus 4 1 day before they announced the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Isnt there another flagship phone from Sony for the H2 of 2013?
Rumors said its Quad core A15 cortex. phone with 3300 mAh battery and 16mp Camera.
Re: Xperia Z - Quick Buy or Wait for Galaxy S4 ?
My experience with Sammy:
1. Bought s2. The audio quality was real ****ty. Then the cheap plastic feel. The plastic thing surrounding bezel cracked in two places. Sold it.
2. Bought S3. Immediately disappointed because of how 833 MB ram is always occupied by Sammy ****ty bkground processes.
- frequent foreground app kills
- volume button creeking sound.
- fed up with protective back cover getting getting shaded by dusty color. Yes they forced everyone to buy white s3.
- ****ty battery always at 44 - 48 degrees.
- very plasticky n i've managed to never drop it. Living in a fear.
- cross hatch patterns on screen is viewable.
So I know what Sammy does. It wants to always keep their loyal customer buy their phone every year.
Also 8cores in 28nm will be a disaster I think.
But if I buy Xperia Z, I feel I can be happy with this phone for another two years.

I had all Galaxy S phones and currently still got Galaxy S3. There are a few things which I hope Samsung will improve, if not, I won't buy their phone again. One is cheap materials - for example, a lot of SGS3 from first batch had a silver trim, which cracked even if phone didn't drop. Second, Samsung doesn't provide needed sources and developers (CM) can't build stable rom without bugs. Because of those reasons Im tempted to get Nexus or Xperia Z. Since Nexus 4 is hard to get, Im considering Xperia Z, because it looks very premium, they used high quality materials and also Sony provides sources to developers - opposite to Samsung.

I guess you should wait for something better than xperia z it still uses s4 pro processor/gpu which is still around the note 2 s so I think wait for s4, optimus g2, or something newer
Also battery would be unremovable
And I guess a bit less than note 2

With this being a developer forum, I can't for my life understand why you're even considering Samsung products, since they're not very developer friendly.
Samsung has failed time after time to deliver what the developers want.
Sony on the other hand is working closely with the developers and don't change very much from the provided source.
If you want to root your device and have custom roms on it in the future don't go for Samsung.
But as others already have mentioned in this thread. Mobile phone developement is going amazingly fast and in another 2 - 3 months, if you can wait, prices will have dropped on current phones and new ones will be availible. On the other hand: If you're waiting for newer and better stuff you can wait forever. Especially in the line of electronics hardware.
I would wait and see if a new display driver improves the quality of the contrast, which I think is really low in comparison what should be possible right now. Other than that I really like the Sony UI (better than Sammys) so if Battery life and Display is ok I'm buying one, also because S3 (and hopefully not s4) is a cheap plastic gadget. Also the development section might be better for the Z. Maybe the new HTC M7 is the phone we should wait for, because they really need a strike.

Yes s4 pro is a bit better than exynos 4412 but the difference wont be like upcoming A15 quads and s4 primes
And we have already seen a s4 pro 1080p phone quite a time ago.
And those upcoming phones might just 2or3 months away

My first thought...
+ I like the screen size
+ I like that it's water resistant.
- I hate that the battery is non-removable
- I hate that there's no camera flash
I would prefer it being slightly thicker if that would mean removable battery, camera flash, better battery life. What do you think?

I don't think so... since the Note II size is still quite unique we're obviously interested in phablets and I think most Note II owners think it's interesting to know about other phablet alternatives well (such as the Mega 6,3 which has already been discussed in this very forum).

And there's already a comparison thread rolling around. That way there's not dozens of comparison threads. Maybe a mod should sticky it to the top?
Btw, the GNII size is no longer unique. But Samsung is still doing it right by allowing a removable battery which folks obviously love.

If what you're after is just a big screen, then consider the Galaxy Note 8. It may seem pricey at $400, but no more so than some of the new phones hitting the market today (unless you go with a subsidized phone, which I have given up on). I did purchase the w-fi only model and I'm happy as a clam with it -- I just wish I'd held out for the one with a SIM slot!

It's a competitor for the Mega 6.3 not for the Note series. It is nice looking and waterproof, has a biiig screen, that's awesome! But...
It has a weak camera without flash, a small battery and a really REALLY fast cpu which will suck the battery dry. Mark my words when I say this thing will kill your battery in 3 hours screen time. Not interested.
I tested a Mega 6.3 today and thought it was awesome... the screen is massive and performance seems to be on par with the N2. If the N3 turns out to only get a 5,7" screen I might get the Mega instead.

If you look at the benchmarks, the Mega 6.3 beats the Note 2 more often than not. People get too caught up in dual-core versus quad-core; the latter isn't automatically more powerful.
However I expect the Note 3 will thrash the Mega in benchmarks not to mention pixel density.
Mega 6.3 is Worst
1,5 gb ram dual core
No Spen
Adreno 305 is middle to low range
Mega 6;3 Antutu 13 mil Galaxy Note II 17500 mil
Quadrant here 7000~7500
there is no contest here, the note ii has better specs, the mega has a bigger screen but that is all that it offers.

It annoys me a bit that you try to "defend" the telephone you have purchased and are not willing to read new reviews or listen to user reviews from people who own both the N2 and the Mega.

A review is a review...thats it. Just because a user reviews something, does not mean that is everybody's opinion. The Mega is cheaper than the Note 2 for a very simple reason....it IS NOT the same quality, nor does it outperform it. Those that are on their soap boxes "bigging it up", are obviously taken in by the screen size. I have both, a Note 2 for personal use, and I have a Mega as a test piece for work. Its like saying a Ford Fiesta can outrun a Ferrari...they both have four wheels and an engine....but I know which I would rather drive.
Both these phones are excellent for different reasons....but as a straight forward comparison....Note 2 shows it a clean pair of heels by a country mile.:good:

Correction: Note2 is last year's flagship, Mega is midrange of 2013 which is pretty much on par with the N2 give or take.
Well well... I've had both Note1 and Note2 mainly because they had the biggest available displays at the time and while some people say 6,3" sux because of its size you also have people that say the Note2 sux for the very same reason. As long as the device fits in MY pockets then I'M happy.
I enjoy my Note2 (and I enjoyed my Note1, S2, HD2 and E90 before that... all flagships of their time) and if somebody feels offended because cheaper phones can perform as well or better than the Note2... well that's not my problem I'm just sharing my findings with other "big screen freaks" like myself.
Have a nice day...

I hear you... I have very seriously considered the Mega 6.3 but in the end I gave up because of the RAM. The way I use my smartphone, less than 2GB RAM is, sadly, a deal breaker.
You are taken by the display size and I can perfectly understand you (I myself was quite ready to DOWNGRADE from a Note II to the Mega 6.3 just because of its display size), but you have to admit that the Mega is worse than the Note II in practically everything else... (display quality included: by all accounts the Mega's display is pretty good but I simply love AMOLED displays).
So yes, it most definitely has lower specs all around but had it had 2GB RAM I would be toting a Mega 6.3 now...

Thanks for the link landeiro... I like how the Mega can fit more content on the screen... see how the benchmark progress bar fill almost half the screen on the N2 while it only occupies a fraction of the Mega's screen leaving lots of space for more info. The actual benchmark result doesn't mean much to me since they seem to behave about the same when being handled by the user. Besides I spend 95% on my N2 surfing the web and the Mega seems plenty fast enough for that.
