I was planning to get a zultra but was wondering if a new version might be announced soon. Zultra was announced last June. Is there any news at all... Nothing showing up in google

No idea, but the ZU2 will probably pop up this summer. I haven't seen any leaks or anything though, so I have no idea what so ever.
Most likely, new versions of gadgets will be announced this June-July onwards.. So this is not the time to buy any gadgets!
If you really want to get the ZU or any other phone out there, I would suggest waiting till October or the actual release date so the prices of the predecessor would drop down. In this case, the ZU..
It would really piss you off if you buy the ZU for example $600 and then finding out that the ZU2 will popup next month and the original ZU would drop down to $400!

The price is already down to around 400 or even less with student discount. I could wait may be month or two. I am getting z ultra anyways. Could easily sell this for around 300 when version 2 comes out.

The numbers I have given ($600 & $400) are just an example.. I don't know how much the ZU runs nowadays.. But you get my point

I doubt the price is going to drop too much more now, bot Google and Sony seem to be trying to move units - maybe this is an indication that 6.4" is just too bug for the general public to swallow

Just a week of using and I really love it . Very very impressed with what sony has done on the software side and the build quality is so good.. Holding in the hand and looking at it is just a pleasure. The last sony device I used was P990i. . It was a master peice of hardware that was failed but by the software.
There is no news about a new version anywhere. Would be disappointed if sony decides to drop this line. Nothing much change for next version but would love to see some new features...
- Decrease the Bezel as much as possible.
- Wireless charging.
- Camera needs a big improvement.
-Screen needs to be more brighter.
-Make the powerbutton more accessible.
-USb 3 port ( faster charging)
-larger capacity battery
-Weight reduction
-Some more sensors like pedometer

most of those are mutually exclusive, the phone will charge at a shade under 2000mA untill the battery warms up so you should be able to charge in just over 1.5 hours (if you break your phone battery by using a higher rated charger (or usb3 and root) and doing this, don't blame me). Agree on the camera, although with a little reading you can get some good pics off of it.

Dont understand the mutually exclusive thing you are taking about...
Having usb 3 is good for fast charging from a computer. This also helps with faster data transfers

I am tired of people hating on this phone for the battery size. Why can't we wait until the phone is actually out to judge the battery? The battery is barely smaller than the S3 and really how much more battery can the extra pixels use? Sure it will not hang with the Maxx but no one else is either. Also, people please quit comparing this to the Note 2. I don't think the Note and S3 are competitors because they are different products. This aligns with the S3 not the Note 2.Yes it has a bigger screen but the width and thickness are almost the same and the height is not much different.

I couldn't agree more. From what some others have posted that have actually used it, it seems like it does pretty good on battery life.
Not to mention its posted usage time (from VZW) is roughly double that of the Rezound, which I didn't think was horrible by any means.

that is sooo true could not of said it better
I made a full day on sunday with out a charge. Unplug the phone around 7:00 and plug it back in around 8:00 with about 25% of battery life.
I agree about the battery. I'd prefer form factor rather than a huge extended battery. Plus cheap plasticky removable back covers (shot at my gs3, lol) tend to creak and moan after time and I prefer rigidity in my device.
I may be alone here, but I had a Thunderbolt, and didn't even really mind the battery life on it ( really really really really ****ty, haha). I really don't care about battery life.
PS - and the few reviews I've watched so far all say that the brightness levels are quite a bit down on it at max brightness, probably how they manage to squeeze battery life out longer. That and coupled with an extremely efficient power management system andprocessor......engineering at its finest I actually recall people making the exact same battery life predictions when we actually jumped to qHD and even 720p screens, and they were hardly effected.
I agree its not the battery but the internal storage that is the fatal flaw here. New hd games are over 2 gigs each. and those arent even at 1080P. so you can only load 4 games on your device before its full, that is amazing that a company would be so blatantly stupid as to do this. they deserve the market share they have 1% and dropping.

You have now posted that on several different threads, nearly word-for-word. Chill out man! As much as I agree with you about the limited storage, you are just coming off as a two-year-old throwing a fit.

ya thanks I am hoping that HTC will be checking these forums and maybe get their head out of their a** and do the right thing for their company.
Using the business model that killed Nokia's business and ignoring the new sucsesfull model that apple and samsung are using is a very bad move. Maybe just maybe they can figure it out and become the success I know that they could be. or maybe thats just wishful thinking on my part, but thanks

Apple sells a poop ton of phones. They do not have storage expansion. Their best seller is their 16 gb model. HTC specs devices based on what Verizon wants. Google has also ditched expansion on the Nexus line.
There are reasons this is going on. Would I prefer 32 or 64, sure but it is not as easy as, oh let's put more storage in.

Vote with your wallet then. Multiple posts of almost exactly the same complaint word for word by a single user, before the device even comes out, when the device is already being on the manufacturing line, does not mean a thing to even a forum user working for HTC genuinely interested in feedback. It's just whining and tantrum throwing at that point.
Look, I load tons of music and podcasts onto my incredible 2, using a 64gb mini SD to compensate. I'm still going to get this phone, because I'm realizing that I regularly clean out my **** even when I don't need to or probably never need to. I'll complain about storage space and cloud storage when I get into that problem, but I have never had that issue and have never gone beyond a net 5-7gb on my phone. It doesn't take any effort to press the delete button to remove old podcasts I don't listen back to, or switch out music to the playlist I want, from either the cloud or by local transfer.
Your argument that a single, specific game being 2gb means that a phone with four games would be full, with no room for photos, videos, music, etc. Is facetious. I understand that concern, but if you word it in such a way that you are illustrating an unrealistic scenario it masks your actual, genuine concern and probably annoys readers more than it informs them. It's fear mongering.
Edit: regarding the battery: this is what happens when people half heartedly gain knowledge of something. It's like the megapixel race. They look at the number and claim that bigger is better without understanding how the technology as a whole works and interacts.

Having been running this phone for about 2 days now, I can tell you the battery is just fine and will last you well into the night.
I do not have specific numbers to post, as I am not a battery fiend, but I was at the press conference yesterday and looked at the phones being used to demo the screen. These phones had been on battery, showing HD video for 2-3 hours and were between 90 and 95% still.
That should tell you the batter is just fine.

Ok what I did was, I turn on keep on always first. I started with Pandora for a few hours and then start a movie from Google Cloud in HD. After the movie I went to the store and one of my kids plug the phone into the charger as you can see for about 10 to 15 mins (sorry about that). I returned and started to play some music from Google cloud again for about an hour. I then moved on to Netflix for a movie. No WiFi, screen on full time and streaming music and videos. Yeah I like the battery, not sure how much data I just ate up!!!!!! But it was a fun test for you all.
Sorry forgot about this part. I was asked around noon to start the test thats why you see wifi on from 7 or 8am to noon So when I started I had around 83% of battery.

There's no way this phone (or any phone) can do that. This phone's onscreen time is only about 3 hours I've heard - there's no way it's 20-60 hours. It really is too bad that they didn't release (or at least announce) a maxx like version with more rom and battery that costs $100 more. That shouldn't be complicated to do and I think the Razr Maxx has proven it's worthwhile. Battery life wise I'd want to know how it does while running an intense app before buying one of these, because in a year there may be apps that push all 4 cores.
No need to have a tantrum since we don't have many experiences yet. Also, this is an Android not THE iphone. We do have choices, remember? If battery life bothers someone so much, get the Maxx HD (or the Note2 if it isn't too big for them).

If this is right, I'm seeing about 3 hours of cumulative Screen On Time. And you still had 30% left.
that's better that my GN LTE which gets 1 hr screen on time with 40% left.

I wish more people would be open to this thought, especially coming from someone like yourself, not to mention your first hand experience. It seems that just because it's a certain # of mAh that it is automatically no good. :screwy:

I guess the title says it all. I'm interested in buying the Z Ultra (unlocked international) but I'm very concerned about the battery.
I HATE having to charge my phone in the middle of the day. If it has to happen once a week that's too often for me. What I currently do with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 (which I use as a phone) is I charge it at night when I'm going to sleep. I never have to worry about the charge, even if I am using it constantly all day. If I use the device sparingly I can even stretch it out for two days.
Can this device come even close to that?
Will I have to keep a charger with me at all times?
I can accept a smaller battery than my current amazing performance. What I'm looking for is that most of the time, I can wait to charge my phone until I'm going to bed with average usage. Not constantly checking messages, emails, browser, etc.
Thanks for the answers guys!
hello,
i am also interested to buy the XZU but also worried like you about battery..
What i want to know. how would be the battery life in 1 or 2 years ?
I think we have to wait a few more month to get the best details
The answer is pretty clear. You can't compare the two. 7.7 has nearly 2x battery capacity (5100mAh vs 3000mAh) than ZU. Tab 7.7. It runs on 2 Cortex A9 processer which is slower and use much lesser power than the latest Snapdragon 800 chip.
I can only say battery if the 3G ZU is comparable to Samsung S4 LTE.

It all depends on user. How I use the device will be different from everyone else. But generally speaking you can go to the General Section and check the battery usage stats. Most people can last through a working day (ie leave home with 100% and survive until knock off and reach home).

This is one of my biggest dilemma when I was considering the Z Ultra. To be frank, I hated phones without swappable batteries so I rarely buy such phones.
If you share the same concern, ask yourself if you can do with large powerbanks (I'm personally not really fond of the idea). Personally, if possible, I prefer a swappable battery - just change and ready to go.
If you dislike powerbanks, maybe you should wait for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
It's a matter of choice. If you like the phone,buy it. With some tweaks you can make it last a whole day.
I don't think I'll "just buy it". The phone looks beautiful & everything but battery life for me is very important. I have this problem with all phones these days. They can all be made just a tiny bit thicker and have a bigger battery that lasts for a day and a half or two days with a few hours each day of screen time. That way if you use the phone a little too much today, it'll still last till the end of the day.
If you work for Sony you can give them this feedback
All smartphones have this so called 'problem'. The battery just can't handle more than a day with average usage. The only thing remaining is to use apps to hibernate applications,CPU handling and other tweaks,of course,on a rooted phone.

Sorry guys I'm not here to complain!!! I'm just asking about the phone and how it suits my preferences. Great battery life is a requirement for me and others who have posted in this thread. Tweaks might help, but I'm not interested in spending my time fiddling till I get it just right. I've also heard that a lot of Sony devices can have very long standby time which is great, but I also want long usage time.
For now I'll stick to my (admittedly crazy) way of using my tablet as a phone till someone makes a nice large screened phone (6+) with great (not average) battery life. There are smaller phones with great battery life, this however is a new size that I'm interested in (big but not toooo big) but my original requirement remains: great battery life.

Not a bad choice, HD screen with 2 more A9 cores compared to his 7.7 tab with a whooping 4050mAh battery for a smartphone these days.
Still kinda an upgrade for him

Actually, it's not too bad. I've even used the Note 10.1 before which is a 720p stretched over 10.1'' screen
Honestly it isn't too bad considering the viewing distance (remember PPI alone doesn't mean a thing if you don't take into account of the viewing distance) but once you've been spoilt by FHD screens.. there's no going back

4K TVs are coming out now.. Let's wait for the era of 4K smartphone to emerge... but then 128GB microSD cards will feel like a 3.5" floppy disk in term of capacity
I checked and didn't find the Huawei in my country.
About pixel density, at 6 inches 1280 * 720 is pretty good but of course Sony's 1080p is amazing.
I just read the Engadget review of the Z Ultra and it seems pretty average for a phone but strange that they played one game for one hour and lost 40% of the charge! I'm not ready to deal with that unfortunately.
Seriously the device is expensive but I would've bought it in 2 seconds if the battery was better.

They played Riptide GP 2 for an hour. Have you seen that game? It's not exactly Tetris, so it's understandable that it sucks the life out of the battery. I watched a YouTube review of Riptide, and they said it kills the battery, and the reviewer played it on a different device (can't remember which, but it was either the Note 2, S4, HTC One or the Moto X)
I did a Google search for external power back for an 'Xperia z ', as this mobiles been around for a while.
I found an external battery product for the Xperia z from a company called 'Power Bank', and decided to send them an email enquiry regarding any possibilities that they might do a similar the market product for the 'Xperia z ultra', they replied saying that it is very likely that they will have something in on the market, and to watch their website during the coming months.
So, for anyone who's thinking of getting one, or has one already, there's a good change the battery stamina issue may well get solved.
Hope this info helps.

Is the battery on the TS upgradeable to something with higher capacity?
I haven't received mine but was hoping it might be standard part that you can just swap in a replacement....

Really doubt you could even find something that dimensions with higher capacity.
There was option to upgrade package, I did that (for one more battery and few more things)...
And yeah...mine is still somewhere in Laurents imagination and I really doubt it'll be shipped before this month end.
That's probably just another lie in a row...

Wasn't there talk about an 850mha variant instead of the shipping 600mha? I might obviously be day dreaming here
Hurry up graphene super capacitors lol

Hmm...I must admit it's the first time I even heard for 850mhA for TS.
It's really annoying how all technology constantly getting better but battery industry somehow can't catch up.
Phones, tablets and all other gadgets need something better than battery we have today - that's for sure.

With the OEM battery, this watch is already massively heavy. Plus, once you start using apps or games, it gets very warm.
Instead of having a larger capacity battery, there should be a better software management tool to manage this watch-phone's resources. Just some casual FB messaging, my watch is barely able to last 1 day.

Wouldn't something like 2x battery app or pausing services with titanium back up do something like that?
I use Du Battery Saver and even after killing all the background apps, I still get less than a day's battery.

I got this amazing offer on moto Z more than 50% off. Should i buy it. i read alot of reviews that battery life sucks or volte problem or Bluetooth or wifi problems i am just really confused. Should i just buy a mid tier phone with mid tier secs and forget the flagship of 2016.
I paid 400$ for it when I encountered a 50% reduction in August(it costs 800$ in Croatia) and I can tell you this:
If you don't care about battery life(which is logically not great since it's a 2650 mAh with a 1440p screen, but you do get a 5.2mm thin body),this phone can't be beaten by anything under 400$(I am the type of person who buys a phone and gets bored of it within a month, yet I still adore this device). The battery also charges from 0 to 100% in an hour and you can buy a battery mod if you really need a lot of juice on the go.
what other problems are you facing ?
how much screen on time are you getting ? are there any other problems ?

With a custom rom(and a full black theme) the on-screen time is a lot higher. Honestly, I don't count that much but I get through a regular day without issues(listen to music on my way to college, take a few pics here and there, go through the web, chat, play non-intensive games, listen to music on the way back). It definitely helps that the battery charges fast.
Agree with above, just got mine 1 week ago for similar price. Obviously still tinkering but my opinion so far :
- If you are okay with bad battery life (max 4 hours SoT with stock rom & careful usage for me), it's a definite buy with that price.
- Mediocre camera can be fixed by using Google Camera HDR+ port for Snapdragon 820. It is recently ported and we can hope for better port in the future.
- If you are afraid of AMOLED burn in, there are many options to prevent it. Personally, I am using Tiles + Edge Gesture for non-root user.
- Major drawback is battery life, it can be fixed to some extent with custom rom & full dark theme as mentioned above. Or, try to find bargain for battery power pack. But, I just found out that using power pack will cause Doze never kick in, so battery drain is high. Seems installing NapTime to force doze while charging did the trick for me but still testing.
At that price if you don't want it let us know where to get it. With the Turbo Power adding just $79 if you really want very long battery life or the $49 for a slim Power Pack for long battery life you still have a good deal. It's a way to charge your phone differently it might make you a Z fan. I think mods are awesome and the battery mod can prolong the life and health of the internal battery using efficiency mode.

thanks Everyone
Thanks everyone but the battery is a deal breaker for me. i rather use my moto x play with a massive battery.

It's already been more than 2 years since, OP2 was launched. I was curious how many of us still use this actively. This might also be helpful for developers who are currently developing for this device.

I had my device over a year and still going strong. I recently noticed that my device takes very long to charge. Dunno if it's the cable or battery. However there are alot of developers for this device and I hope it stays the same as the device gets older. I'm going to stay with this device until some hardware fails then look to upgrade to the op5 or later when that time comes

Got the device since February 2016. No protectors, no cases, custom ROMs from day one. Has some scratches on the sides, but is perfect anyway. Still getting decent battery life, the camera is really nice, loudspeaker is incredible, everything is fast and reliable. Currently on Unofficial RR 5.8.5. Oreo is coming at some point, probably at least as stable as nougat. I am actively looking for a new phone, but absolutely nothing that comes out newer seems to be worth it. It's perfect for me. Also, thank you to the devs that don't give up on the device development.

I use it always since 2 years... And I don't found any device to replace it ....
I'm use it with a custom ROM since the beginning with lineage os and now is it on AoespExtended ROM.. It is drop many time, I have change the screen one time and since 4 month the home button doesn't work... But it work fine... Perhaps the oneplus 5t will be the next.......

I'm using this since February 2017 and so far it's so good
Compared to my previous Xperia Z3, camera is better, battery backup is as good as Z3, overall speed is almost the same (some frame drops seen in games but i think it's OOS fault), software in some aspects has weakness but strengths at some others, loud speaker isn't comparable since Z3 was stereo, telephony is the same, Development is much better
I wish it had support for microSD card
Anyway it's quite good and i won't leave it until hardware problems appear and maybe my next phone will be OP3T
Using it since October 2015, though this happened yesterday PIC
I've been using mine for about a year. I'm looking for a new phone, but not in a hurry. Been on rooted Oxygen the whole time.
I'm using it as my primary device from last 1 year
still rocking my OP2 from release, even dropped it in water once still working for now, and one of the best custom rom communitys !
Proud op2 user.

Try downloading ampere from play store, you should get about 1000mv charging, if less try another cable.

With stock OP2 charger or any 2.4 AMP charger and a good high quality cable you should get 1800 mA on Ampere app. Not 1000.

It's like you've got no idea what you're talking about.
You're talking about the app Ampere, which measures your current in milli Ampere and you're talking about milli Volts.
The app won't give you the best readings, mine was shifting between 1500mA and 1700mA and sometimes it would drop to 400mA. Best is to use an usb voltage/ampere meter.

:silly:
It's an easy way to make sure your charger and cable are not completely stuffed. If your getting over 1000ma then things are working well enough at the end of the day.
But thankfully with your immense wisdom the world we be a better place :highfive:
Oneplus 2 is my daily driver since August 2015
I'm using OP2 from august 2015, i bought this mobile wen it launched in india. I was the frst user who bought this mobile in my native, i'm very happy for that. :good:
I loved the mobile till date
Using Last 2 year.... Great OP2
I have had my OP2 as my primary device for a week now. Before that I tried several custom ROMs and used OP2 with Desolation ROM for about two months as a secondary device. I had Sony Xperia Z5 Compact as my "phone" and OP2 as my "camera". But now I feel I can trust OP2 enough to carry only one device with me.
I am curious. I'm looking to replace the phone my son is using (ZTE ZMax Pro from MetroPCS). I replaced the screen a couple of months ago cause it was cracked and now his phone dies any where from 40 to 60 percent battery left. I think I might have damaged the battery prying it out to get to the screen. Anyway, would the OP2 be a decent phone for him? He's only 13. The ZTE is a 6" screen, so that'll be a step down for him, but the fingerprint sensor would be on par. I've gotten my wife a OP3T, and really like it (and she loves it). The price on Swappa seems about right for the OP2 (less than $200, with the only one available right now at $165). I want to get him a phone that'll last him at least a year, if not more. Development still seems pretty good.

Dev is good 8.1 is working great with pixel experience.
Battery is pretty great as well.
I have been using A2003 for more than two years now and I'm going to echo someone else's opinion here. I'll be using this device until some hardware get busted or I lose it. This is my only and primary device Thanks to all the developers for their work and support Hope to more love showered!!
