I think wala man cla ma left behind. Sikat lang jud kau dri ang samsung ug htc sa pinas. But sa gawas kusog man ang Sony.
Gnhan ko sa ilang Xperia phones, sa quality nindot jud xa. Layu ra gneh na ang samsung ug htc sa quality lang.

in terms of technology, they're not that left behind

in terms of firmware updates, they are notoriously slow along with LG

in terms of WORLDWIDE market share for mobile phones, they're left behind Samsung, Nokia and even ZTE, Huawei, Motorola and LG

competitors ate up A LOT of their market share which Sony used to dominate. i blame that on the SUCKY design (during their late Ericsson days), relatively expensive price and poor firmware support. so right now, they're trying to make a comeback with these new set of phones with better designs and specs.

Xperia Z seems promising. but i HATE the non-replaceable battery though. i'm willing to give up the water-resist/shock-proof specs just to have a replaceable battery. i'm not the type who would spend a lot of money every year to get the latest phone. i'm willing to invest high on a phone that can last me for more than 3 years and batteries RARELY last for more than 3 years.

personally, I don't think it's a trend on smartphones to have unremovable batt... I think it only applies to brands like apple, some models of HTC/Nokia/Motorola and others...

If you look at Samsung and even the newest model of Blackberry... they still have removable batteries with them.. and even polls worldwide.. most users still prefer they have the freedom of removing and replacing batteries rather than a close ecosystem one.

The only advantages I see from having a non-removable battery is that it allows for better build quality--figures, since many Samsung haters bitch about creaking plastic time and again--and thinner form factor for devices. I reckon Sony's going with a non-removable batt to make the Z sexier.

Personally, I like the Xperia Z. Don't know why everyone can't just make smartphones waterproof by default.

better build quality on the phone but abyssmal battery life still equates to nothingness ... i'd rather choose a flimsy build factor (on the phone) but the batt inside delivers what it is expected to do rather than having a sturdy build factor but weak battery factor inside... and the option and freedom to take the battery out whenever and whichever I need or want to. I guess some users prefer the freedom on what they can do rather than what the manufacturer dictate them to do.

I also like the X-Z, perhaps due mainly also on it's waterproof capability... but having said so... Usually the manufacturer claims on being waterproof remains to be really tested on the user's side when this phone comes out officially.

P.S., Manufacturers tend to limit on the built features of their smartphones due to build cost itself. Materials comes into mind, and don't forget, when you tend to spend on the build factor... you tend to get your revenue on the price of the phone... with tough competitors e.g. Samsung/Apple/HTC up sharing the lion's share on the smartphone market nowadays... the least Sony can do would be to build a hype on having the 'Z' a waterproof phone...hoping smartphone users out there will be swayed to patronize back Sony and gain back a foothold in the Smartphone race.
