@drsoran2, Your pics are awesome. No blur on the right that's present on other units. What does that mean? That SW won't fix the blur, as it's hardware issue.
Camera lottery anyone?

So what did everyone think about my last batch of photos using the new. 534 software. I know there was a so called ghosting issue in one of the photos but i am curious to find out what you guys though of the rest of them.
Your pics were really great
Thanks for posting

Well here are some test shots from today, I am still on the older firmware, and haven't flashed the new FW yet, hoping Sony will seed it to me soon.

I will keep uploading test shots to that album as time passes. I actually checked the settings and on some of the photos instead of using the metering set as centre, I used average. I doubt that changed much.
Really tempted to flash the new firmware to see how the quality would change.

So finally we have concrete evidence on the screen lottery. JDI Panel has been reported on XDA by someone, he claims to have the better screen.
So from the info I've heard there are 3 vendors -
Sharp
JDI
AUO
Sharp is the worst, JDI is IPS, AUO is high quality AHVA.
Dacha was right after all.

I have a Sharp panel. Wasn't the Sharp panel the good one with the XZ? Now it is the bad one?!
From what I've read is, that most people so far have the Sharp panel.
Maybe it also depends on the device model number, the color or the production week?
Mine is: C6903, white and 13W36 - so pretty new. It came with .518 firmware preinstalled.
There were two things of concern for me before I bought the Z1: The camera (was afraid of blur or defects) and the screen.
My camera seems to be a pretty good one and flawless which is great and most important to me!
However, my screen is a Sharp panel and colors look dull and cold. They lack vibrancy. The viewing angles are also not that great (straight on they are fine, but colors become washed out from the sides).
I'm not so much concerned about the viewing angles because I like my privacy.
But I do hope that Sony can somehow fix the colors and white balance (maybe include the white balance setting like with the XZ) with future updates. I know it's possible, because with my XZ, the blacks became deeper and the colors more colorful and richer with firmware updates. With the latest firmware, my XZ screen was a lot better than in the beginning.
On a side note: 35000 points in Antutu (no overclocking!), 21800 in Quadrant, 2650 in Browsermark and 675ms in Sunspider. 3D Mark maxed out!
Best of all: My phone doesn't get as hot as the XZ and does hardly lag.

seems like all the UK phones C6903 phones are sharp panels (i haven't checked mine).
@randomuser - what were the models/production week of the other screens?
if mine is a sharp screen, and it's the "worst".. then geez. i can't imagine what the best one would be? haha. cause i'm very happy with mine. sure, viewing angles could be better, but it's not an issue for me. it's not like the screen turns negative or completely washes out at an angle. i can still see everything as shown in my pics, but lighter colors do shift. oh well.
since there is a screen lottery and there is a DIFFERENCE in each type of screen, that is quite a huge shame. They should definitely honor replacements if requested. muwaha. i will go to the sony store next month and compare.
