hi all devs,
i have searched lots of on internet and came to know that camera hardware in sk17i mini pro is same as in arc and in neo. may be its limited to 5mp, also i have seen both camera from outside and almost they are same in looking, haven't gone under because of warranty. now one more confusion why mini pro camera don't have zoom in video mode, its only have in still mode. is arc, and neo also have same problem. how can i come to know that they have same camera module, help appriciated, i just want to unlock the camera limitations.
i do have this doubt because earlier SE announce this mini pro with exmor r sensor but after some time it has been removed may be its a sales marketing ideas.
so guys please suggest me something to know this deeply. can i see something in hardware config from the rom provided by DooMLoRD.
You can zoom when taking pictures?

There is a zoom function in software, I do it using volume keys, but pinch zoom should work too.

I'd per highly surprised. Looking at that tiny lens on the SK17, I'm surprised it can even do the 5MP photos let alone a 8.1 MP. Other thing to note is the camera could look the same, but not have the same internals, as you have pointed out, the SK17 doesn't have the exmor r sensor, which would make a significant difference in PQ.
It would be interesting to learn if the cameras are in fact the same part number, but I suppose that would mean tearing down the phones and finding part numbers.
Regards,
Mike

I guess it would, but the big problem is connecting not only the hardware, but the software too.

You're not going to get sensible answers here as we are all S3 owners.
Also, please see this:

Spec-wise - the Xperia. A Snapdragon CPU, twice the RAM, a bigger battery, better camera, waterproof.
Your call though.

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.

Is there any mods that makes the Sony Z Ultra better? I am looking at buying the phone or getting the Galaxy Note 3, currently on a Galaxy Note 2. I am drawn by the bigger screen. What makes the Sony Z Ultra a good or not so good phone? comments please. Thx.

I would think so yes.
- USB OTG = Wireless bluetooth mouse and keyboard
- MHL (5 pin) = Monitor
