Based on the leaked spec of s4, other then the a bit faster proc, i think xz will do well this tym. I knew it quad core is the limit so far for mobile phone. As long as xz is using quad, i already happy enough. What i can c from the latest proc such as snapdragon 600 is a higher benchmark score. In term of daily usage or performance i think we wont c much different.

Wait, the dock is coming with the pre-order only?

I wonder how much the dock is when sold separately?

from UK prices, looks like it's about RM100+

Need opinion from u guys, will xz sell like hot cake? i not sure shud i pre order or buy on the spot once it sell?

(IP)(5)(7)

IP = Ingress Protection

5 = Dust protected
Desc - 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
Desc:
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 Routine:
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 reason why it's not 8 because for you to be able to get IP58 is


8 = Immersion beyond 1 m
Desc: The equipment is suitable for continuous immersion in water under conditions which shall be specified by the manufacturer. Normally, this will mean that the equipment is hermetically sealed. However, with certain types of equipment, it can mean that water can enter but only in such a manner that it produces no harmful effects.

Test Routine:
Test duration: continuous immersion in water
Depth specified by manufacturer

and to get the IP67

6 = Dust tight

Desc: No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact


The highest level is IP68 which requires a dust tight and is capable of staying underwater for an unlimited time. Like submarines.

But this isn't dust tight because of the open ports. And also this can't emerge underwater for an unlimited time because the body isn't airtight and moisture can develop inside the case if submerged longer.



So.......... It is only stated to last 30minutes underwater because that's the criteria level of IP rules is not very specific enough.

So sony only have 2 choices for this... Either go with the rule to state the device that it can be submerged 1meter for 30 minutes or state that it can be submerged down below the water for centuries

So to summarize it all the 30minutes 1 meter is not the device limitation but just the certification's description.

Questions... It says... 1m submersion for 30mins.... So after 25mins i remove it from water.... will the time left for future submersion will only be 5mins or will it reset back?

Follow up... if it resets back... how long do i have to wait to submerge it again?

sudden realisation

Technical issues aside, pen-tile = not as sharp as standard RGB. See screenshot below. Left = standard RGB pixel arrangement. Right = Pen-tile.

Some people can tell the difference, others can't. For those who can't, keep it that way. Once you can tell the difference, it's hard to be unseen and you'll feel irked every time you view a pen-tile display.

Mentioned was audio output, not loudspeaker. There should be no compromise for wired audio quality.

i get the xperia Z & ZL developer set ady
going 2 use them as my new fancy alarm clock lar 

It's not the gap that I'm annoyed with. I want the gap. It's the lack of when typing fast. LOL

Previously using the Acro S, no issues with that. Xperia S? No issues with the haptic there too. Neither with the Arc or the X10.

Edit: Here's a video of it, I realised it's much easier than trying to explain. LMAO.. my explaining needs improvement.

To XPZ owners, can you find the option for 'Screen Calibrations' in the settings? Can't find it on mine.

Just wana share suntin, the sony logo will b gone if u removed the anti shatter sheet.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180036

So dun removed it if u dunwan to lose ur sony logo. Use a sp immediately as the anti shatter is easily scratch.

Or removed it if u wan a no brand phone nexus lookalike hehe.

With this info i just hope that since the logo wasnt printed within the screen glass, better make sure that the logo is perfectly place, no mis aligment before u bought it.
