I have seen some Xperia Z's in stores with the better display and it did look great.

Sony also have this clearblack layer when display is off. You can't see where/how big the screen is. Looks like a complete black layer. I love that!
I just want that Sony will use in future gorilla glass and forget this stupid foil...
@bonovox
I prefer Z display instead S4 display for example. Colours on the Z are much better! My bro using a S4, the screen looks horrible for me...

@king-james i love the black screen effect too. it's a small thing, but makes a world of difference in how it looks.
There is no official word as to which one Sony uses, but it's speculated that Sony actually uses BOTH Gorilla Glass and Dragontrail as suppliers for the glass. If this is true, then it would be understandable that they do not advertise what type it is, since they use both.
this is the official word from Sony in regards to the glass on the Xperia Z (note, not the Z1):
From Twitter: "we don’t comment on supplier names but Xperia Z uses durable tempered glass that has equiv specs to Gorilla/Dragontrail ^SM
10:21 PM - 10 Jan 2013"
Thus, it's very likely that they use the same on the Z1. AFAIK, Neither Gorilla Glass OR Dragontrail are SHATTER proof.. which is what the plastic ANTI-SHATTER sheet is there to protect. If you look at the Gorilla Glass website and Dragontrail website, neither of them will advertise that they are shatterproof. ONLY that they have very high scratch resistance.
That is why Sony puts the anti-shatter sheet on there. It's up to you if you want to remove it. I do agree with others that printing the Sony logo on the sheet instead of the glass is a bad move considering some people DO remove the sheet.

I know this story about Z glass, too good... But it's never gorilla glass, believe me.
I had so many different phones, you feel it so easy.
But let's stop now with glass discussion.

I just read GSMArena's review of the Z1 and saw their camera comparisons charts..
It should suffice to say that even the Lumia 925 did significantly better compared to 8MP auto mode and of course to the poor 20MP manual mode!
But all in all, the phone seems a good hit.
Sony did really bad with the Z's display but they are learning fast from their mistakes these days.
The Z Ultra and Z1 are some excellent overall smartphones.
If one doesn't care for the Stylus on the Note and its multitasking abilities and just looking for a phablet with high-end specs, I would certainly recommend the Z Ultra over it..
As to the Z1, it somehow disappoints as the camera was supposed to be a key point but turned up a flop, and too much bezel on the thing too..
Compared to the G2 and the GSIV it's a tough call but can't say it has any major advantage..
Recommendation would still go for the GSIV..

Negri is starting to get ridiculous! They're asking for $824.50 for the Z1! And, they're getting it later than everyone else, 10/4/13! No idea how they think they can justify the premium compare to everyone else and shipping later too. Someone in management most be smoking something, that thing must be some hard stuff!
Just read the Phonearena's review of the Z1, very surprise at the verdict they gave it!

So got my C6903 from Handtec, First impression when I held it was like "Holy Crap! that is premium quality"
To cut to the chase, I'll answer everybody's Favorite question:
Viewing angles looks slightly similar to my Z as far as I remember! Colors are an improvement. Whoever said only C6902 models has the bad viewing angles panels, sorry to prove you wrong, UK has it as well. It doesn't bother me to be honest.
Overall I am happy that I don't have any defects or deadpixels, phone is superb, big improvements over the Z and hell a lot more fluid!

swedish site
http://www.swedroid.se just reviewed G2 and compared the cam to Z1 and said that Z1 is the best camera they've seen on any android phone to date. I have to point out that the reviews by Swedroid is better than any other site out there except a few. They test everything and very thorough.
They've got an enormous z1 ad as the banner of their site!
Not suggesting that would influence their opinion of the z1 of course
