I noticed there is a Bond edition phone. Are there any differences to be aware of or is it just the box and wallpapers? I'm looking a the white one which has a black screen which is really cool! Never seen that before. Also they have a yellow. Anyone seen these or have one?

On Xperiablog they said it's just the packaging who have a Spectre logo..
Hmm. Still the two toned white one looks pretty cool!
There's the spectre theme too
just bought the xperia z5 compact "the bond fone" with the print package "Spectre".
but i can not find the james bond theme on it.
i purchased it at Swisscom shop online (and `before i've been to the shop twice where they packed out a device extra for me to check the theme design. no succsess)
anyone can help?

you have to download it in the "what's new" app
The compact one doesn't have anything other than the packaging. The z5 does 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.

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.

Guys, do you know anything about defects on Z2 that on the market already ? One of a Russian source said tht Sony foung out 3 defects in Z2: waterproof gasket defect, 3.5 minijack defect, and screen defect. Do you know something about that all ? Who is already bought Z2, do you find any problem on your Z2 ?
I ordered Z2 on Ebay and now worriyng about this, cos i won`t be able to get a free warranty in Russia if i bought the phone out of my country.

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.
Has anyone found a selfie stick which can fit the Z Ultra?
I bought one for the wife for her S4, similar to this one but the phone holder doesn't go wide enough for the Z Ultra to fit in.
Anyone had any joy with any of the others available?
I think you mus try Selfie Stick Pro. I got one and really working well.

Hi,
Can anyone confirm that the D6503 can be rooted and a normal (graphite) pencil or pen be used for input?
After the failure of the Tablet Z2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/help/xperia-tablet-z2-pen-mode-problem-t2958122 to do this, I don't want to buy a version of the phone which does not support this feature.

stylises and all dont work but a pencil does
(pens dont work either btw)
Thank you for the reply.
For clarification, I want to know if the model D6503 is capable of doing what is shown in the following 2 youtube videos (the titles just say "Xperia Z2" without the model number):
1) "Sony Xperia Z2 Pencil Funtion Test" posted to youtube by Jaehoon Park, and
2) "Xperia Z2 with Pencil" posted to youtube by ZicmA Holy
[I had the links up, but the forum restricted me as I don't yet have 10 posts].

if A Z2 variant can then all of the Z2 versions can (they use the same touch sensor across them all)
Thanks for that - I've ordered the phone, and hope to post once I get it and test it.
Working
I got the Z2 (model D6503) and it's working - a metal-tipped pen (not the writing point, but the case around it) and graphite pencil have been tested and the phone responds fine.
It does not work with a plastic pen.
I have not rooted it, nor done anything to the settings - it worked straight out of the box.
The phone I have appears to be a UK version.
I'll try to do some video and post.

All Z2s have that ability from factory. I have been using mine long ago. It also accepts metals though you should be careful with that.
Yes, the Z2 has an additional screen layer, similar to the one found on XPERIA Z Ultra, so it accepts pencils, metal tip pens, spoons and the Sony Precise Stylus for the Z Ultra (SONY ES22). It's a shame that the Z3 tablet compact doesn't have this layer.
