Indeed, very beautiful and high quality phone all around. I specially like the sound experience while using headphones, that ClearAudio+ engine is something. The screen is just pure, no yellow tint, no pink tint, just pure.
I really like it, and wash it every morning :p


Lol where did you get it from?


NOT from X-cite if that's what you're asking xD

From Al - Barrak Group, The official partner of Sony Mobile in Kuwait, got it with tons of screen protections and a bumper.


I got it from Sony Store in Avenues, not from X-Cite either, are you using Viva or Zain? or what? , some people seem to believe that its not an LTE phone , even though it clearly says it is.

What we have here is the C6602 version, which is HSPA+ and GSM band not LTE (C6603). HSPA+ can go very fast though, nealy as good as LTE.

I'm using Wataniya, I have not activated 3G nor I attend to. I have wi-fi connection at both home and work so..

Aww , I didn't know that, oh well its not like I am going to pay 26 dinars a month for LTE :D , the prices are absurd.

What are you talking about, we have petrol, we are rich .. every single one of us :p

I don't know what to do with my life anymore.

the screen on this thing is so good, you feel like you are holding a water/oil colored painting rather than a phone.


I can't wait to hear how you describe the HTC One's screen then.

Seriously, the XZ screen is nothing special. Infact it is the worst screen in flagship phones by a significant margin. The rest of the phone is great though. I was so close to getting one but the screen was mediocre for me.The pricing is also another factor.

So did you get the HTC One? I wanted to know how its camera was cause most of the reviews have been negative for the camera. 

No, I am stuck with an Iphone 5, trying to get rid of it (don't like it). As soon as I get the money I'll get the One. Don't trust reviews of sites like The Verge, Engadget etc. If you are not able to try it check this review:

The review is incredibly detailed, more than you need.

To be honest, I never trust reviewers, they went on and on about how good the AMOLED screen on a samsung phone looked, and each time I see it I feel like the screen is glitching and is showing a blue haze on the side and oversaturated color hue, at first I thought this was a software glitch so I updated it, didn't solve it , so i restored OS to its factory settings and then back again , and it still persisted, this isn't my phone so I thought the owner messed the screen or something, so I went and looked at the screen on the G Note 2 since they also brag on how much it looks great, and it had the same "issue" the colors pink looked red and blue looked like it came out of of a lighsaber and the green looked like an atari neon green, everything looked like that new Far Cry Blood Dragon game, and I still have no idea why people think AMOLED is such a great screen. 

/end rant

so tl;dr I will not trust reviewers until I see it myself, I'll try an HTC One whenever I got back to a store that sell one.

That is mainly because Samsung screens are calibrated way oversaturated. HTC One S screen was calibrated much better (It is also amoled). Samsung phones have settings to adjust the colors for a more natural tone, though the default setting is indeed bad.
