Review on 'Sony Xperia Z' smartphone & design of 'Sony Xperia Z series'.

I have purchase 'Sony Xperia Z' on 17th September 2014, so I am sharing my experience and observation with you which are may be limited but different and from my perspective, (It may be also relevant for new Sony Xperia Z series e.g. Z2, Z3 as their body shape is exactly the same) for clarity in three headings:

Vantages:

1- Hardly hangs in any of the operations

2- Good provided ringtones

3- Wow, Camera quality, as always with Sony mobiles, both front and rare cameras are amazing

4- Itself ask to update latest Android

5- Fast processing even with high definition games

6- Good memory space and you can add microSD cards as well

7- Great battery life, play games on and on.......best among the phones I used and heard of


Minuses:

1- Speakers are not that powerful (same issue as my old Xperia Sola phone)

2- Location of the speaker is not suitable for people who hold the phone on his right hand, hand covers it & also when you play games and hold it horizontally, finger also covers it

3- Very soon & easily gets really heat-up, if you have not used any other waterproof phone, then especially at first it surprises & annoys you

4- When you set Alarm, first tap 'Set' but does not set the alarm, then on the next window you have to tap 'Done' as well. (New issue introduced, as it was not there with my old Xperia Sola)

5-Too much extra space around the display, especially at the bottom

Suggestions to introduce in your mobile:

1- Wireless FM radio should now be introduce, even Pakistani 'QMobile' phones has wireless FM radio system

2- Dual speakers on different positions should be introduce like 'OnePlus One' phones or something to have that great music effect that dual speakers produced

Conclusion:

All in all a very good mobile for those who wants to purchase a good & latest Android mobile, one year ago it used to be the flagship mobile for Sony but still good enough to have as an excellent mobile

Review on 'Sony Xperia Sola' mobile phone

I have purchase 'Sony Xperia Sola' on 24th December 2012, so I am sharing my experience and observation with you, for clarity in three headings:

Vantages:

1- Hardly hangs in any of the operations
2- Amazingly reactive touch screen
3- Great themes, especially its main picture
4- Good provided ringtones
5- Wow, picture quality
6- SmartTags are a good thought, but for those who have to open few things at the same time


Minuses:

1- No front camera, alasss.......
2- Speakers are not that powerful, and also they are behind the mobile but has 3D surround sound enhancement which is even Sony Xperia's prime mobile Xperia Z lacks
3- It hurts when your friend's Samsung having good WIFI signals, and you're Xperia Sola is disconnecting off and on (It happened only once, but Sony has a very high standards, so I am writing it as a minus even it happened only once)
4- Android version is 2.3.7 (Gingerbread), you may find information that its upgradable to Android 4.0 (Ice cream sandwich) but when you try to update software through 'Sony PC Companion 2.1' it says that softwares are already updated, so you may have to find another way
5- Setting Alarm, you can easily understand from one example, i.e. if the time is set 2:30 and you want to set it to 3:00, then you have to scroll minute section 6 times.

Neither good nor bad:

1-Its new technology of  'Magic Touch or Floating Touch', after the enhancement of this technology this can be the future delight but not now, you need hours and hours practice to touch the icons, all you can do easily with this is to play with the theme's main picture but the wallpaper which animate with magic touch its phenomenal 
2- Battery life is neither great nor very bad but somewhere in between

Conclusion:

All in all a very good mobile for those who wants to purchase a good Android mobile which is not very expensive.
