Yeah, maybe they should release a 32gb memory also. lol
This device is going to be released in Singapore tomorrow. Can't wait! They have live sets in the store. Played around with the UI. Dpi seems to be at 320. Everything seems bigger. Things seems quite snappy on one but another is lagging even when navigating thru the interface.. Having mixed feeling about this monster....

I believe that display units have different clock speed. I'm not sure about that though. Well, It is still a wonderful phone and I'm looking forward for your on hand review about that in time Thanks
Regardless, I think I am still going to take the plunge. Love device from sony though most of the time was disappointed by the performance.. Something keeps drawing me back to them.. I know it's conflicting but that's really how I feel. Probably getting it today. The white one. The black looks really plasticky. Stay tune for a short review once I get it today. Hopefully.

Bummer... They told me to collect only tmr...
Just bought it few hours ago. So far so good, no bugs, no issues, no lags.
I'm truly impressed. :good:
Now I have to wait for the custom roms/kernels heheheh.

I too will purchase the phone, hopefully after a week or so.
The large 6'' screen and sexy looks are to die for!
Also, considering the price tag of around 365 euro, it's cheap!! Excellent price tag, very affordable.
5.1 announced and coming soon. Hopefully will fix the existing bugs.

I hope there are front and rear glass screen protectors available.
I'm yet to buy the phone, however, I'd like to apply protectors to be on the safe side...
What is the different in E5533 or E5563?

Email I sent to VIP escalations asking if NFC was built into the chip and night vision camera.
I don't think I'm going to miss the kickstand too much
Might just be me, but I swear the layout on the screen looks so odd, like the app/icons are adjusted weird or however you'd like to word it...
Other then that, it looks great!!
I think it looks good but I wish it had a kickstand. I'll getting it regardless. Can't wait till Summer! Hopefully they'll give us more of a demo!
I didn't think the kickstand would be for me until I started propping it up on my desk while doing work. It was easier to pick up phone calls via bluetooth while looking at it. I really want to see how the camera shots look and what kind of lens they are using. I think the camera bezel is huge and unnecessary but whatever.
What is the shell/casing made out of?
There was a kickstand accessory for the View, and i wanna say the guy said there is one for the 3D too.
The demo from drdrewdown is awesome. This phone is totally badass.. you can completely shut 3d off if you like... they said display looks much better than the original EVO.
My only concern is battery life... but I htink I'll begetting this phone.
Yeah, whats up with the lack of a kickstand? BSOD mentioned it still has one, but I do not see it. He also mentioned NFC, but I've not seen that mentioned anywhere else yet either.
Looks good I thing they should have gone more plain style like the iPhone 4 tho(look), I'll miss the kickstands, I hope the video quality is better then my current evo, this is what the nexus s should be ha ha, definetely going to get it tho

That's because of the higher resolution screen
BSOD stated the NFC but who knows if it's included in the chip but not enabled. Also I could care less for 3D since the only thing I would be able to play it back on is the Evo. At least now people won't ask you if you have an iPhone when they see that huge camera bezel in the back.
I can imagine people selling screen protectors for the back and the front.
I'll miss the kickstand a lot. I love propping up my phone since i keep it naked and want to minimize scratching the camera lens.
So does this have the adreno GPU?
The one thing that BSOD mentioned that I was really excited about was WiMax+LTE. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything about that mentioned during the liveblog on AC.
It's an awesome phone, no doubt about that, but I'm definitely not as excited about it as I was before. With the way things are going here in San Diego, it seems pretty much pointless to pick up a new phone that only has 3G/WiMax, as it doesn't look like we'll get WiMax anytime soon.
When is this phone scheduled for release or is it unknown ATM?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
So about those facts BSOD posted, which I said were incorrect.....
The phone is sick, but the EVO View truly surprised me. It's awesome. Anyway, adios.
looks kinda less sleek then the original evo to me...No kickstand is huge for me I use that like 100 times a day at least lol...Loving the internal specs tho wow that phone is a beast...damn decisions decisions lol

Just sometime in the summer.. No specific month unfortunately.
My guess is around when the original Evo was released.
I think I am sticking with my launch day EVO. Not really impressed by the EVO 3D. EVO View seems kind of useless.
Disappointing specs, looks like a downgrade for the camera lovers.
My SGS2 is not going back to best buy now. Moreover It might take next year to come to AT&T...

I agree, screen is the only thing that I like as well, 720p looks good. 4.65in is also pretty nice, dont know if its really worth it now? probably not. I was expecting a better CPU speed atleast...
But its not worth the wait for AT&T users (atleast me). Good that I went with GS2
I wonder if the CPU and GPU are the same ones used on the S2.
The screens sounds amazing, but having just bought an S2 I'll be keeping it for a while. Maybe I'll get a Galaxy S3 or whatever next year.
Screen might be "HD" but it uses pen tile matrix as opposed to real RGB matrix
http://www.displayblog.com/2011/02/...us-dumps-pentile-matrix-goes-real-stripe-rgb/
So it might display more stuff on screen but the res isn't gonna be true HD.. Much like the original SGS...
its not for me. If it was a real step up from the SGS2 id consider selling mine for it but the only real upgrade is ICS. Id rather wait till that comes out for the devs to play with i think.
Everything else bar the camera looks good but i couldn't justify (or afford) to upgrade if the camera is only 5 mega pixel when i have an 8 mega pixel camera on the SGSII.
I am about to purchase my second tablet. Well, if you count an older model rooted Nook as a first tablet, that is. Been doing TONS of research & I have it narrowed down to the Z, Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014), and new Kindle HDX.
At the moment, the Sony is leading. I wish the screen were a little higher def, but you probably can't even tell the difference at some point. My main questions are about the camera & internal speakers.
- Does the rear facing 8 MP camera have video capability? Is it 720 or 1080?
- Where are the speakers located? They are on the back of my Nook which makes them really hard to hear, especially if the unit is sitting flat.
I wish there was a "one size fits all" tablet, but it is a series of tradeoffs regardless of which direction you turn. Thanks in advance for any tips.

The rear facing camera can record in 1080p.
The tablet has 2 speakers, with four grills. Each speaker is located in the bottom corners of the device (consider the Sony logo in the right position, i.e. device in landscape). The grills are located in the side and bottom corners of devices.
Look at this image I made: The circle says more or less where the speakers are, and the arrows point to where the grills are.

So they are rear facing like the Nook? May be only choice due to front glass, but I thought I saw a tab somewhere that had them on front. Just can't remember which one. Looked at WAYYY too many!

It has both front and back facing cameras. Back one is 8 MP, 1080p. Front one is 2.2 Mp, 1080p also.
And the speakers are side facing, not rear.
I meant speakers, not cameras. Sorry about that

The Z4 Ultra will reportedly be adorned with a 5.9-inch Triluminos display. It will also carry the Snapdragon 805 chipset and 4GB of RAM , the camera will be 16MP with dual LED flash. It is expected to measure a significantly thin 5.7mm.
http://www.arabianbusiness.com/leaked-sony-xperia-z4-z4-ultra-specs-573033.html
i hope they don't make the screen smaller than 6.4
waiting for the fantastic z4 ultra
if the z4 ultra picture it this i will full in love with it
Quite confident that image is inauthentic. I don't think Sony will suddenly go from the biggest bezels in the industry (aside from iPhone and HTC) to having a higher screen to body ratio than any other phone in existence, particularly since they didn't even lessen the bezels on the behemoth Z Ultra.
I'm sorry but that looks fake as. Looks like some keen fan's concept sketch.
It was 100% fake
That was just a mockup by other ppl & it won't be 5.9" & not to be so thin.
I agree. And I don't think they reduce the number of icons on the homescreens from 6 to 4, that doesn't make sense. Complete fake.
Although fake it looks awesome, imagine the Z4 Ultra actually having bezels so thin.
Early next month we'll get the full information and specification for the Z4 & Z4 Ultra anyway.
Be patient guys. :laugh:
As much as I'd LOVE to see the Z4 Ultra look that awesome, I don't see it happening either. Plus, the rumors I've heard are that the screen is supposed to be 6.2" 2K display with a S810 SOC with 4gb of RAM. This is the first time I've heard anything about a 5.9" with a S805. I'll be VERY disappointed if those specs are true.

that looks freakin terrific and im sold for a 5.9in screen now
this is so fake
sony with thin bezels? I don't think so
if it was real it would be too small anyway. would feel like a downgrade to me
hahaha just we need to dream i will call sony to make my ultra 4 like that
Sony would never make the logo to be so small so that's definitely fake. According to various sources it all points to 6.4 inch instead of 5.9

Came across this today, interesting to say the least. Sony better not make the display smaller... I'd love a 6'5"/7" screen with way smaller bezels. I fear they're gonna go with a 6" model instead and make the bezels lame again.

After the fiasco of software problems with the Axon 7 I don't think I would spend a significant sum on one of their phones again.

Yeah that was quite the nightmare, especially with the ban and having a not good last update. Glad GSI's are doing the trick, but I think ZTE should work on their updates a little better.

I hope they survive the Trump administration fiasco of trade wars because their phones are very good.
I got my wife a new Mate 20 recently, as long as it's modern she won't care if it's on Android 10 or 11. She wouldn't have a clue and it will get 10 at least.
I don't care about the bootloader as modern Android is great as long as the OEM doesn't make it with too many bugs (looking crossly at ZTE).
My Axon 7 and Axon 7 Mini are both stock and it doesn't bother me from a feature point of view.
Rooting and modding them was all in the past because the OS was so fragmented and basic. Now it's just not a concern for me.
I'd have a new Huawei right now if needed. The new models coming out from now on are where the problem is, not the pre-existing ones.
