I too fall in love with Xperia Z. First time I love Sony android phone from outer to inner.

High possible my replacement phone coming soon!

Awaiting it launching!

Please bring in Z as I want Z only because Z is water resistance, dusk resistance and much slimmer and elegance look.

Both cane here is the best.

I notice ZL bottom part is much nicer, Z too many blank place and ZL got light at bottom which was cool.

Now I not sure want which one. He he....

I believe Z is international version which available world wide.

If Z not coming, then sorry la Sony...

Haha!

Never proper check on LTE part, in that case bring on Z is enough already. Hehe...

If June, Sony can close shop already.

I also received the email from Sony.


I hope it was not and don't think so.

It is high possible more than 2k, as this was price of LTE phone for the moment.

Current LTE phone at Singapore market pricelist:
- Samsung Note II LTE - SGD $880.00 = RM 2,194.00
- Samsung Galaxy S III LTE - SGD $785.00 = RM 1,957.00
- Apple iPhone 5 LTE - SGD $900.00 = RM 2,243.00
- Asus PadFone 2 LTE (only phone part) - SGD $990.00 = RM 2,468.00


Agree!


I highly doubt it will be RM 1,899 base on current LTE phone price.

I assume it will be possible price range in between RM 2,199 to RM 2,299.

Yalo, it seems Google buy it for vanish the brand.. haha!

Probably something wow! will coming soon or it really plan for vanishing the brand...

From here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code

Now I know the exact IP57 means.

5 - Dust protected
- Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact.

7 - Immersion up to 1 m
- Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion).
- Test duration: 30 minutes
Immersion at depth of at least 1 m measured at bottom of device, and at least 15 cm measured at top of device

** The strongest protection of dusk and water will be IP68, and this phone already in step IP57! Cool!

I do purposely tryout Xperia V yesterday, it indeen really smooth and fast, and the screen was solid as well, at least it was in nice and correct color. Samsung always did too vibrant on the color. I know S III and Note II can change color profile but it was really useless, the standard too vivid, the natural too dull, that is not natural but dull.

Actually S III was fast but not really smooth, Samsung cannot proper make smoothest to S III and the most basic phone and contact cannot keep open in background, and take times to open.

Also the phone will reload the entire launcher after running heavy apps - example Google Chrome.

All this issue was gone if you use third party ROM (pure ROM like Nexus 4 Jelly Bean v4.2.1). I believe Samsung use too much RAM for the entire interface, and S III only 1GB which was not really enough for it.

All above issue do gone in Note II as Note II having 2GB RAM and I can't seen any launcher reload issue on my sister Note II. But I not interesting with this phone.

I use too many Samsung phone, kind of bored of it not smooth interface (I want Samsung stock look), it was happen in S II and S III as well, and the build quality was ..... meh.... ok la.

And I also hate Samsung not release full doc. of Exynos chip to developer, this make a lot trouble to them on CM, and that the reason CM developer start switching now.

So I believe is time I switch to Sony soon. Also no deny Sony always did pretty elegance phone than Samsung.
* unless Samsung really out too outstanding spec and features and look in coming S IV. But I doubt about it, it probably similar look like S III and still pretty plastic look.

Yalo, too vivid, it was unnatural, when seeing photo nearly vomit! and a lot suppose nice wallpaper look awful due to over vividness.

Beside this, Samsung AMOLED (plus or no plus same) got one big issue, it often cannot differentiate the details on dark color.

Ya that chip was gorgeous, but are they going to use in S IV, not sure yet.

Wait and see.

I more prefer phone came with 5000mAh battery actually, haha.

Hope so.... battery is too small now to handle such high spec phone.

Eh........... Hmmm........

Ya, that is the problem, and really is time design something better battery now, but no company really invest on that part.

Since day announcing, I everyday check information about Xperia Z !!! Oh no!!! I never so tempted to any new announcing phone before!

Actually I find this as pros rather than cons as people beside you can't clearly seen what you doing, it is pretty much more privacy when text-chat, surfing and etc at public.

and no one will view phone at angle.

Solid beauty! Loving it superb superb much!

I not sure on this Z as it not out yet but I do checkout Xperia V and for me if was not affecting viewing experience usage.

And due to it wash out issue, looking at side was not that clear compare with great viewing angle on my S III.

SONY XPERIA Z was extreme famous! Everywhere was talk about, hands-on & review on it.
This time round SONY was success at least on it annoucement.

Too much to list all and digest on it!

SONY XPERIA Z not only high spec, but as well elegance & beauty design with solid material. Coming Samsung Galaxy S IV probably will higher spec than this with tones of cool Samsung extra functionality base on motion and gesture, but I doubt Samsung can release an elegance solid body as Samsung never have solid body, instead superb plastic.

I also hope so, but it seems not so possible, left around 28 days only for coming CNY.

So, now I just hope it came end of Feb or earlier March, please don't be too late, things easier get cool if pending too long.
