I had an xperia z, at the time when I purchased the device it was up there as one of my favorite smart phone devices, BUT it was slower cearly than the iphone 5 was.. and my current device the nexus 5.. reason being the device was running on snap dragon 400.. (clocked a littler higher than the galaxy s III), water resistance was great.. camera was great..

BUT THE Z1 is a HUGE improvement.. super snappy, better camera, slightly better screen.. but overall when I had the xperia z I would say it was sony's best smartphone at the time.. clearly they have improved drasticly on the device.. with the z2 being one of the top 3 best smartphone devices money can buy today (according to critics and android stans)


Unusual that you say it is clearly slower than a 5. I have found my xperia T to be faster than an iphone 5 in some aspects so I would expect the z to be better.

I'm not sure why anyone is comparing it with the Z1 compact or Z2 since both have an IPS screen so they can't be compared. Camerawise every Z after the original has a 20.7MP camera while the Z had a 13MP.

I had a Z1 but it stopped charging. It was something to do with the magnetic charger which the Z also has so be careful with that. Think it went in backwards or something. Sent it back and waited for the Z2 to release here.
