I'll be in Singapore for couple of days. Heard that LTE version of Sony Xperia Z Ultra is going to launch tomorrow. It could be a good change to have a look. Anyone getting one or pre-order?

Still waiting my Xperia Z Ultra to come. How's the performance? The camera quality still in expectation since it's only 8MP compared to my Xperia Z 13MP.

honestly i bought this devices mainly for gaming + multimedia, the + for this devices : 6.44 large screen (1080p), fastest processor at the moment (S800), Slim design & water resistant, i dun bother abt the camera at all, as i will use my S4 camera with so much function. color of this devices still a let down...dunno y compare with all my Sam S4 AOLED, Mega 6.3 LCD, Galaxy Camera LCD even Huawei Ascend P1 devices XZU UI just look so colorless except viewing photo on sony album, even so it feel over saturated with some color... as i just finish charging devices i need to use more to see if the triluminos really standout.
added Post: now bring to bathroom with me to test how the screen & speaker works.
Test
Will be testing my Xperia Z Ultra the same way as you did. But, it should gives me pretty great time with video watching on 6.4 inch display. LOL!:good:

Camera eq is acceptable. For cam whores, they are better off getting a Honami instead. Overall experience is great with this phone. Many people in my country is complaining of yellowish screen though.

update! screen were sharp, display color were great only with adapt lighting off, except white color wash out unless set to 100% brightness.
speaker sound goes soft after dip in water but sound not so low as XZ & S4 Active.
processor was so powerful, not sure cos of no root but every things was Damn fast. (every android i got 1st day rooted unless root not available)
gaming was super, playing Nova 3 was a shock with it vibration feedback i thought i was holding a X-box controller!
down point : XZU MHL is only 1.0, i just bought 1 MHL 2.0 adapter which can connect HDMI + USB card at the same time but XZU & XTZ not respond to it.
I can only said your eye got problem. You need 100% brightness!!! Oh my god!
How can you see the screen more than a minute with 100% brightness!
They is no washout issue in white as you mention.
I use default around 50% with adapt with lighting conditions and off optimize backlight. Vividness and pure black.

another eye problem sony fan boy saying others who dun side any manufacturer...if u compare TZ & ZU ofcos ZU look great, for ur info i comparing with all the devices (AMOLED + LCD) which i had! & hello who the hell told u i set brightness to 100% more den 1min, i was saying i tested 100% brightness the white color still wash out comparing to Mega 6.3 LCD display. or maybe ur life is so colorless thats y 50% + adapt light on is enough for u.
BTW theres alot of complain of ZU yellowish display ard.

Hi to all xperia z2 users.
I have galaxy s4 currently and planning to upgrade my phone. I don't have a big budget but recently the price for xperia-z2 is dropped in eBay India (imported ones)
The other attractive phone for me is the xiaomi MI 4, I love their Miui 6. MI 4 is far cheaper compared to the xperia-z2 and specs are about the same.
So I am looking forward for your opinions on this Sony phone. Does it worth to buy. I heard Waterproof is not working for everyone. Is that correct?
Or shall I go for MI 4 or any other phones..
Edit : If anyone has any experience or suggestions on xperia z1 compact, please respond. I love that small beast.
Thanks in advance

In my opinion its worth buying because i personaly love the sony UI
i recomend Xperia Z1, ZU if your not wiling to pay for Z2
if not an Xperia Nexus 5 is definatly something worth it and if you can pay up for a LG G3 then its worth it
Oppo N7 and One+one are alternates which are worth it, with the One+ being better than the N7 in terms of other quality
the Water proofing with Xperia Z2 is only a problem with Defective units
any questions about a phone ask

Do you have any idea on the Z1 compact. ? about it's performance compared with Z2.
And also, does these xperia z series phones (especially black ones) have wears and tears (of finger) on the back panel ?
* I believe, this doesn't affect much in while color phones ?

Performance is simular, Z2 being slightly faster due to hardware but not by much due to firmware
Xperias dont realy ware easy exept the flaps/port covers
White colored or lighter colored phones dont realy discolor or smudge too much unless you dont wash your hands often :/
I think the best bet for a device that is good is wait for Z2 to get 4.4.4 at this point
The device is tougher than Z1 and has a overal improved feel than Z1, its also not as expencive as Z3 and with this new upcoming update (probably couple months max im guessing) then Z2 is definatly worth it
Id take it in black just because damage doesnt show as easy with me and my clumbsyness
Thank you Envious_Data. You are being helpful.
Hi , guys , i want new phone for next 3 years. I am not planning to root it by any chance. I am done with that. I want phone for 550 dollars max. Tried Note 3 ,amazing but camera weak in low light. Going to swap it for G3 or Z2. Now i have to decide. Want reliable phone , no rooting , fast and snapp , 5,2 inch or more , one of the best cameras , price 550 dollars max.
Thank you.

best cam i think is Xperia Z2
with the new 4.4.4 update it seems nothing can rival a Z2 Camera at all
have a look around in those threads where people post their photos (google it im at work now )
G3 low light is not good at all. I have one sitting on my desk lol. Go with Z2 it has better battery by long shot, G3 quad HD screen kills the battery.
This may sound stupid.
If you have someone to send you a Z3.
In Greece Z3 is 475 euros
And Z3 compact for 415 euros.
Z2 360

wow you are lucky. Z3 costs 503 euros here. But then , 360 for z2 makes it even better deal , since Z3 isnt that much better.
Z2'S Camera is better than G3.
Here are some random photos to meter quality
They are OK for what they are.

I have the Xperia XA so am still awaiting on Nougat, but I want to know from the Xperia X users who have already gotten 7.0 does it have the Night Light setting/Night mode in the system ui tuner?

Yes, system UI tuner is thankfully not disabled by Sony, nor is the code for night mode removed so it can be enabled from there with the help of an app called Night Mode enabler which can be downloaded from the Play store.
No root required.

This feature still isn't a norm in Android 7.0.x.
They've removed it from the finial builds of 7.0, and the only reason why it can be enabled with just an app was because the code for night mode was still present.
iOS 9.3 had it back in mid 2016
Windows Phone 10 Creator recently got it
Android... O hopefully.....

I thought they made it official in 7.1 Nougat? At least on Pixel devices? Not sure if my phone will get 7.1, we haven't even got 7.0 yet. Typical life of a mid ranger.

I think they'd have to wait for Mediatek to release with Android N kernel sources before any development can get under way.
Generally; Mediatek, and likewise Nvidia like to slack behind.
I though that the X was the mid ranger.

I honestly don't know what Sony were thinking last year, killing off the Z Series then bringing back the X Series with a over priced mid ranger which to them must of been a flagship. Then what makes it worse is that they've gotten rid of Xperia keyboard as well as some other stock Sony apps and replaced them with the Google equivalent, it just gives the impression that the ROM is half baked. I'd rather they made it all Google apps with the Sony media apps.
But it runs super smooth though. :good:

Agreed with the overpriced part. I only purchased with the X because it was on special. A medium-high mid ranger priced at below your typical mid ranger phone like the A5, 5X.
Clean light skin with some good nifty, but functional tweaks...... most other manufacturer phone.
Most of the Sony apps can actually be downloaded from the Play store, including the keyboard through it says that my device isn't compatable with it.

Please indulge me. Prove that Xperia 1 III can deliver much better photos than Xperia 1 II with main wide camera sensor at least. Thanks!
Hm, no response. Suggest there is nothing to show off really or just a very few people have got the phone.

i think the latter. it’s not yet been released in the US. i think only in China.
I've read they've released an update already, so all those early photo reviews are "outdated".
Anyway, this is the most recent and "best" photos taken with it I could find...

Just got the phone yesterday here is one pic I took in auto mode no adjustments of a beautiful Nissan 280z
I've got one, the photos taken so far are better than that on the Xperia 1 II. There is no normal camera app though, only the Camera Pro is stock this time around.

I saw this review. Nothing really exiting or convincing so far. None of reviewed phones delivering outstanding photos to my opinion. Bloody Pixel 4 in still unbeatable in most situations in therms of final results so far. And this is weird...
