@Bonovox, that screen looks a lot better than the ones seen at the IFA presentation and booths....How are the viewing angles, compared to the links that Xenia posted?
The link Xenia posted which went to Android Next, showed that there was ridiculous colour-shifting at oblique angles, where what looked like maroon from head-on, turned green and then back to pink as the person tilted it. There was also significant contrast loss, when compared to the display on the LG G2, which looked exactly the same at all angles.
I certainly hope that those are only prototype issues at IFA. It would be horrendously irritating if Sony tried doing some cost-cutting on their own flagship, and put out a sub-par screen again (being better than the Z alone is not good enough, it needs to be as good as the competition when viewing angles are concerned and it needs to be better than the rest when colour temp, colour saturation and greyscale calibration). It would also be annoying if certain markets got the best displays, while others got poor ones....

Worst incidences of chromatic abberration
The frame on the end portion exhibited the worst color fringing issue among them, but you would always have to shoot with that angle before the problem shows up. and it's fixable with our current photo editing programs like PS lightroom and etc
besides I think this is a sensor limitation(being terribly small compared to the big ass ones from ILC/DSLRs) rather than lens'

Viewing angles were ok to me I should have taken more shots but store was crowded

The latest samples were excellent
I downsized one of the Z1 samples to 8 mp, and in my opinion it is equal or even better than some 1020 daylight shots, if we look at a 100% 20mp Z1 crop versus the 100% 8mp crop of 1020, it will appear the 1020 is better, but if we put them in equal footing, meaning downsizing Z1's size to 8mp, I'd say it equals or beats the 1020 output in daylight. (anyway this is my opinion, wouldn't want to start flame wars again
I wouldn't mind being proved wrong though
)
Luminance noise is pretty much gone once Z1's 20mp is downsized to 8mp.
BTW about the screen review differences, I think culprit for that is the brightness, setting the brightness too high might be the reason why some screen looks washed out, mainly because it's too bright. Setting it properly should eliminate that problem easily.
@Bonovox
Thanks for sharing pics mate

The screen looked good to me and I am fussy. Generally I like Sony displays for their more natural colours and non pentile screens too. And it seemed fluid in operation.

One thing I forgot to mention was that for a 5 inch screened phone I found the Z1 smaller than I expected which was a plus I guess. Didn't seem big to me at all

Actually got to play with the Xperia Z1 at the O2 store! today! luckily they had decided not to keep the phone locked up! While I have to admit the phone does feel kinda big especially coming from my mini pro...it definitely wasn't as bad as I expected....fit quite nicely in my pocket and felt relatively comfortable in the hand!
Performancewise absolutely smooth....no lag whatsoever! and the camera is pretty good! took a few photos on it in relatively low light.
The superior auto one in 8mp looked pretty impressive even when I zoomed in. However when I took it in manual at 20mp you could see a bit more noise, which I guess is expected!
Even tried the 3x Clear zoom....and I have to say the zoomed in image wasn't as sharp as one when I didn't zoom in. I guess it works better in bright light at lower ISOs
even got to try pair it with QX10 which O2 are giving away *free* with pre-orders....and the QX10 was quite nice to use..you cant beat real optical zoom!
