I kinda wonder what with all the fuss of taking pic in the pool. Xperia z submerge depth is 1 meter, pool roughly >4m deep. So imagined if u drop it down below.

nope, total 16x digital zoom

There are possibilities..
Like I mentioned before, everyone was so excited with Z that ZL was left out of inquiry.. pity ZL..

meanwhile, this was taken from the M-Fone page when they were at the Sony Mobile Training..
Damn jealous..

my s2 survived more than a few falls on concrete/wood etc. i wouldn't call it cheap plastic body shell.

inb4 Z and ZL also cheap plastic body shell wai u no komplen  

New S4 coming out in May and the rumor is, it is with the Okta 8 processor, 64 chips much faster than S3 similar to the tegra 4. The whole body is made of transparent plastic casing with a unbreakable and bendable display where one can see notification with the casing closed. When not in use the flexible display is transparent making it similar to the back transparent casing where one can see the motherb oard and battery. Well, just rumors only.

By the time this phone launch here, they will be already news on M7 and S4 just around the corner. Will consider after seeing all 3 and decide.

The phone not even out yet how can the guy take picture of an ant? haha

Its like saying PS4 rocks and awesome when it not even out yet and no game for it yet

Ya, must be before March, I really pray it comes out by end of February, I'm going to be without a phone for so many weeks 
A working X-Phone? I wonder what the specs are, any leak so far?

A quad core but what model? That's the big question, I wonder if it's Snapdragon 800 

not likely
bcauz of the sensor size and oversampling

if we were to compare HDR, thn xperia Z have the advantages
bcauz xperia Z come with HDR mode in still photo & video
nokia 808 does not have HDR but it utilized oversampling method
thus it can handle exposure better, thus increase details & shades details,
with increased dynamic range

can say both using different approach 2 tackle the problems of details lose
in underexposure & overexposure 

SG$988!!!
So expensive

I like Xperia Z..looks cool and the specs is great.
But i don't like this thread. Too much hate posts. I don't know why ppl love to say bad things about other brand or product. For me..posting about this phone strong points is much better than post about other product weakness. Here, ppl posted bout hate Samsung..bad HTC..stupid iPhone
It just make me afraid to join this type of Sony community. Try take a peek at other phone official thread. In S2..S3 or Note2 official thread, condemning other phones/product is very rare. They prefer discuss about their own product..and very seldom talk bad things about other product. I use mostly Samsung product but would like to try other product as well. After lurking and reading on this thread, i bought HTC One X+ before upgrade it to Butterfly. Maybe when Xperia Z release here, i might buy one but i don't think i can join this community as i find their mentality quite different to others.
Peace

i think it will be available throughout Malaysia..as even my local shop(not sony center) even confirmed 6th march..
