    The Xperia is better, most powerful, most pretty, is better

    I owned an iPhone 5S and honestly, it's so boring and repetitive. I finally grew out of it and bought an Xperia Z and could not be happier. It's done me better than any of the iPhones i've ever owned. I love the Android OS, much better than the iOS. Sony is ahead of its time with technology, if only people would actually do a little research, they'd be lining up in front of the Sony store for new phones and tablets rather than the Apple store.

      You got rid of a iphone 5s and purchased a sony xperia z ?? Are you crazy ?
      If you wanted the change that bad to android and was determined to get rid of your iphone surely there were better android devices available then the xperia Z

    this is not a fair review. I had iphone 5 and switch to xperia z and i can say there is a huge difference. In terms of performance and display xperia z is superior. You say that iphone 5 has the most accurate display? That is not true, 1080p, 441 ppi and bravia engine 2 is much better than the iphone. You are an Apple fanboy....

  • @systemx6603
    @systemx6603 11 років тому +7

    Xperia Z offers a much better experience overall than iPhone 5 , people who used both at least once will understand , for everyone else , well just don't talk about whether one is better than the other you clearly don't know much other than specs on paper

  • @wianvandenberg

    Iphone 5 640 x 1136 pixels, 4.0 inches (~326 ppi pixel density)
    Xperia Z 1080 x 1920 pixels, 5.0 inches (~441 ppi pixel density)
    retina display is NOT as good obviously

  • @wianvandenberg
    @wianvandenberg 11 років тому

    It's PERSONAL PREFERENCE! Yes, they are not customisable, don't have a massive computer / tablet screen...but it works fine. It's definitely the most beautiful phone out there, the only phone you can still fit in your pocket and people are impressed by it like they would be if you bought a Mercedes. Only a geeky guy with glasses would walk us to you and say, wow is that the "Samsung galaxy s4" or is that the Sony XPeria Z (Get what I'm saying).

    Ever noticed how confused Apple user look every time they have forgotten their charger....quite fun to watch. I'm using an old HTC Wildfire charger for my Xperia Z. Xperia Z is anonymous, stylish and practical while the Iphone is the gimmicky and flashy, while being a loner who wont play with other then its own kind when it comes to software and hardware.

    @JohnDoe-gm5qr 9 років тому +1

    The camera in the Sony looks alot like the iPhone camera but the Sony is much better. Sony is known for their cameras. I had a Sony camera a long time ago and I would still buy another. I had an iPhone 4S and sold it recently to get a used Xperia Z1S with a 20.7 MP camera. That was the best electronics decision I have made.
    I like the covered ports on the Xperias. Sure the covers are known to break off but you can get them online. I have one on order from Hong Kong. It is not a genuine Sony part so I will check that it fits at least as well as the other ones that I still have. The one missing is for the USB port and that is probably one that is commonly missing/broken since that would get opened and closed alot. The Xperia will also remind you to close the cover if it detects it has been unplugged. That is nice because some people might assume that it is waterproof when open but I can see the light of the display through a small hole by the USB port and I would definitely want to close that up before I take it outside. I could use the magnetic charger instead (it is not inductive but attaches using a magnet) and I would not have that problem. I find it odd the magnetic charge port has exposed pins. They might be protected from shorts and other things but that is hard to say without contacting Sony or a knowledgeable sales person.

  • @shiruba2004
    @shiruba2004 11 років тому

    Yes, the video is ... almost entirely subjective. I own both. The screen is more than fine, and it doesn't stutter to a noticeable extent. The camera on the Z is quite a bit better in low/bright light. The built-in speaker on the iPhone is certainly better. One thing not mentioned is that the Z has NFC. The Japanese model of the Z also has 1seg TV. I use the Z much more than the iPhone because things like Skype run in the background well. The main disadvantage of the Z is battery life.

  • @ishudshutup
    @ishudshutup 11 років тому

    It's low powered but it outperforms, period. Battery life, camera, speed. I have 30-40 apps open on my iPhone. Videos, streaming stock charts, Skype all seamlessly work when switching back and forth. In comparison, my Galaxy Note 2 has serious battery degradation when I have 10 apps open and it's a guess if I switch back to an app that's streaming if it either crashes, freezes, or actually works. So what were you saying about "basically paying...for an OS"? I would think we're paying for results

  • @dantistruct
    @dantistruct 11 років тому

    And again as I always say, if you want less saturation on Xperia Z, turn off Bravia Engine increases detail + sharpness, Bravia Engine (in this case Bravia Engine 2) is for more vibrancy of color and noise reduction. So to sum it all up with Xperia Z turning on and off Bravia Engine to the users comfort is the fact that they baked you the cake and yes you can eat it too.

  • @mycomputericons
    @mycomputericons 11 років тому

    Imho most accurate means that the colors, saturation, etc are the most accurate (it has nothing to do with the ppi), so the screen's picture is the most realistic (looks like real world).

  • @100kby35
    @100kby35 11 років тому

    Display accuracy is a function of many factors, such as pixel density. All else equal, 1080p displays are more accurate than 720p displays as pixel density is higher. Currently full-HD displays have the highest pixel densities, with the HTC One currently having the highest.

  • @cnj96
    @cnj96 11 років тому

    when you hold the phone firmly (portrait) the speaker is almost blocked by your hands palm, so the sound is muffled. and i just figured out some annoying things: data transfering from PC is slow because it's not recognized as a "drive" in PC instead of portable devices, the LED notification isn't working (can be fixed by factory reset though) and the phone gets hot fast while playing games or playing movies, other than that, i think there's no problem with the phone.

  • @MrGagason
    @MrGagason 11 років тому

    It would be good if reviewers could write what are criteria for a good phone. Not all of us are looking for the same thing. IP5 likes: longer battery life, better apps, runs smoothly. XZ likes: bigger screen, w/d proof, customizable interface. Wanna spend more time with your mobile? go XZ- learn, optimize, customize, surf, watch video. Wanna do basic functions quickly, spend less time on your phone? Go IP5 - basic, no learning curve, no surf just check out, check out videos but listen to music.

  • @kerayzey
    @kerayzey 11 років тому

    There are a lot of 1080p screens out there, be it on a phone or a TV. But pixel density alone is not a defining factor as to how good a screen is.
    Display type, the glass, distance between the display and the glass, viewing angles, brightness, contrast ratio. Those, combined with pixel density, are what made up a good screen.
    Educate yourself.

  • @TimotiusVictor
    @TimotiusVictor 11 років тому

    I think what he meant by "standard" was that the aspect ratio of the screen in Xperia Z is standard (1920 x 1080), compared to the strange number in iPhone 5....

  • @MrHog2001
    @MrHog2001 11 років тому

    Yes, it is a personal preference - a reviewer should try though to be as objective as possible. I'm not advocating big screens - actually they don't do much for me. But this review does have a clear bias and does not properly address the faults of the iphone and the pros of the Xperia. Only a geek anyway would walk up to a total stranger and compliment them on the aesthetics of their phone, regardless of the brand.

    @WilliamKurth 11 років тому

    @pocketnowvideo ~ I agree with all of this review in regards to the Xperia Z (which is my daily driver) accept the stuttering thing. With OS navigation, I never see stuttering ... ever. I do see it from time to time in apps like G+, but that's arguably not the phones fault. I do own an iPhone 4S as well, and do understand where you are coming from in regards to the apps not stuttering on iOS as much, but like I said before... I find the OS functionality of Xperia Z to be stutter free.

  • @AscendedSaiyan3
    @AscendedSaiyan3 11 років тому

    I think I get it. Whatever the Xperia Z does better than the iPhone 5 is not needed or not cared about. Things like colors are more important (since the next iPhone might have that), right? Therefore, iPhone 5 is equal or better, right? That is artifically lowering the bar. It's the very definition of bias.

  • @TheMagickdude

  • @topografer
    @topografer 11 років тому

    4 to 5 is a big leap. Much better camera, much better screen (bigger and better), and much much faster. The phone will instantly feel faster and smoother. But yea with a 5 inch phone with customizable or even switchable interface, you will enter a new world.

    the guys owning only one devices stop saying F*** to the other ones. coz i have been using a old school Xperia for long time before getting an iPhone. the software wise iphone is rigid but still fun to use and very user friendly and on the other hand xperia has provided me a great service all these time, so very satisfied. Having said that, Apple d look into their OS upgrades and not make it more amateur looking [like ios7]. iOS was great in 2007 when it first came out but its 2013.

    i think the Sony Xperia Z has to win, although, if the iphone had an inserted screen protector and hid all the panels -except from the size- thed pretty much be the same, but for me? Sony Xperia Z wins.
