How does Video Calling work on Xperia Z? Can XZ make Video Call?

Rs.200 for Unlimited Video Call looks very cheap on Reliance GSM

Nope. Only Samsung and select LG phones support native 3G video calling. No Sony phone supports 3G video calling.

Do you know why that is?...ive always wondered why video calling doesnt happen anymore...not that i ever used it much...in fact, ive never used it...but ever since smartphones came out, there was never a native video calling option...is it that phone companies have figured out that noone actually uses video calling n therefore doesn't include this feature anymore?...or is it that they figured if people want video calling they can just download an app for that?....

Does Video Calling consume lot of battery? or it's the bad video quality?

If I'm not mistaken, Japan & South Korea are the only countries who use extensive Video Call, please correct me if I'm wrong.

That is pretty much the case. At the beginning of 2000 when 3G was new, video calling was one of the selling points, most 3G phones had it and most carriers offered video calling as an added service. However, it never went popular for various reasons (too expensive, too cumbersome to use etc.), so eventually both carriers and manufacturers dropped it.

Nowadays most people seem to have a data plan and making video calls over this data plan with apps like Skype is way cheaper than a regular video call over 3G, so basically there is not much of a market for that kind of services.

I'm sorry but Data Video Call is way more expensive than compared to 3G Video Call.

In India you pay only USD3.66/month for unlimited 3G Video Call. Where as Skype/Tango etc use heavy data. Already prices for 3G data plans are high enough and the best you get in India is 5GB. I've used 5GB 3G data without using Skype.

To me 3G Video Call now looks dirt cheap @ USD3.66/month compared to Data Video call

In Bahrain data is much better than normal services, voice, texts or video... lot of carriers offers unlimited data plan ( throttled after few GB's )... but some doesn't have this... but even with that peoples use their data package more...

the problem is data plan isn't as reliable as original phone services, for example not every one have skype or have a data plan, so you can't depend on it... thought for text, both Whatsapp and LINE are getting more dependable duo to low data usage and almost no cost compared to SMS ( which will cost 25 - 40 fils per SMS, $0.066 - $0.105 per SMS ) even thought all packages contains some free SMS's (25 to 100) thought most peoples don't use it... for me the last month I only sent 4 - 6 SMS's..

Finally got a hands-on with a Xperia Z. It really does feel slim and surprisingly light. The power button placement is spot on. It feels premium when holding it. As for the display, I think the grayish UI does make it look washed-out. Viewing angles are decent, but head on it really looks sharp. It still is not as good as the HTC One and Butterfly which I also just got a hands-on, though.
