Is it? But I read at 1st page says that sony malaysia will bring both model. Owai, if only Z, then I'll go for Z ofcourse. Yup, that makes my life so much easier. HAHA.  tongue.gif  Thanks.  thumbup.gif

depends on wat u want lo. for me, i will go for ZL cos:

1. i dun need water and dust proof....
2. i dun like ports with cover, so annoying when using those port with cover.
3. smaller body size.
4. i am a careless user, sometimes will drop the phone, so the glass back make me worries.... dun tell me wat dragontail/gorilla glass......still will more easy to break compare to plastic back.

they make another announcement at singapore launching...about ZL in Malaysia

QUOTE
In other news, Sony Malaysia has confirmed that the Xperia ZL which was left out from the initial availability announcement will be coming to Malaysia after all. So for those who are wiling to sacrifice water/dust resistance for a smaller dimensions, the Xperia ZL would be your option.

Pre order price for zl reveal in german. Euro 599 bout roughly rm2400, n iinm mistaken z is bout 649 euro, equivalent to roughly rm2600. So wat we can assumed here is there is about 200 different between z n zl. So it could be z is rm2499-2599, and zl bout 2199-2299.

If the assumption is correct, then i think the pricing is a big big mistake by sony.....

bcauz clove did not try it with micro sdxc, the just assume it does not support micro sdxc
bcauz sony write support up2 32GB in their white paper but didn't declare it is sdhc or sdxc
since sdxc is up until 64GB they just assume it does not support sdxc

as same as xperia T like clove said it does not support sdxc,
but it  does support sdxc, u can read it in xda
many ppl format their sdxc 64gb to ext4 or fat32 n it is supported
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909697
*
they did try, and it is not supported in NORMAL case, unless u do MOD(format as ext4 or some other type)on the card then is can be use.

anything need MOD to work, i define as not supported.

"In terms of storage, both of the handset versions that Clove ranges come with 16GB internal storage. Each handset then has a microSD slot. The Note II can take MicroSDXC cards up to 64GB, whereas in our testing only a 32GB MicroSD card worked with the Xperia Z. However, some reports have suggested that using the Xperia Z to format a 64GB SDXC card will enable its usage. We cannot confirm at this stage but will do so as soon as possible."

xpz vs N2

did u actually read the article? http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/01/18/sony-xperia-z-review/

to support ext4 or fat32 u don't need mod, bcauz it is supported in stock android
furthermore the internal storage is formated in ext4, mod is not required to support ext4
most of the sd card came as fat32, as exfat need license from microsoft

unless u tell me that samsung device need mod to support ext4
thn maybe i will believe, bcauz samsung disable linux based android's own file system management ext4
n use their own file system f2fs/rfs instead of ext4
*
i mean u need to mod the SDXC card in order to work with XPZ.

and the article http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/01/18/sony-xperia-z-review/ i indeed nv read, cos it is older then http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/01/22/sony-xp...-galaxy-note-2/, so i believe in latest info.

FYI, note 2 can read SDXC card without need to format the micro SD card, buy, plug and play, that one i define supported.

no need to tell so much about linux, wat f2fs/rfs thing, i am noob about those, i am just a average android user.

there are few major type of files system ext1,2,3,4/exfat/fat32/hsf
not plug n play stuff but samsung galaxy can automatically format the sd card to the supported format  smile.gif
n furthermore they get the limited licenses from microsoft 2 read&write exfat

but u need 2 choose the correct file system if u want ur sd card 2 be hot swappable
n supported in different os such as Mac/window/linux,
thn u shall need 2 format it as exfat or fat32, most card come with exfat or fat32 ready
it is not mod, it is just a system type that different used by different OS

if u r not going to hot swap ur sd card, thn i think it is best 2 use ext4,
bcauz the ext4 is originally used by android, & furthermore ext4 have better integrity support
in android exfat/fat32, u will see last time ppl said "hey why my files get corrupted/why the sd card cannot be read & need to format again?" that is the problem  laugh.gif

so it is not mod

ok ok, u wins, i noob, dun know wtf u talking about blink.gif ...... xpz is the best ever forever super smart phone in the universe..... rclxms.gif

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..

Once I remove I won't apply, I anti Screen Protector, it was rubbish for me.... unless the screen was not scratch resistance.

I more concern now was is the XPERIA Z SONY logo really printed at where?
