Speaker quality on my loudest ringtone also pales vs butterfly n note2. Quite similar to nexus4. If at noisy places you might have problem getting it especially if inside pocket unless you set vibrate mode
*
Not too bad. Have stop depended on ringtone volume long time ago when I'm with the phone. What matters me most is how far it can be heard when I'm at home and phone is on my PC desk in my room but I'm elsewhere.

Just because of some complains you don't decide fate of seller
Many of us has good experience buying from him
I dealt with him 6 times n 3 through poslaju. In all cases perfect without any issues
Complain only if you personally had a bad experience
His main problem his business is so good he does not spend much time to entertain everyone. Once at his shop I did see some really unreasonable buyers asking for the sky
*
I passed by his shop many times. Worst than pasar...sometimes ppl have to stand outside. For the amount og ppl that come to his shop he still takes time here to respond to complain. So I will say he is reputable seller.

As requested, these are comparison shots with HTC Butterfly. These are taken in my garden early this morning. The colors of the Xperia is more accurate resembling very close to actual colors. However both qualities I can accept. I am not that particular when comes to photograph quality

I agree. It is certainly much better than the incredible S days. Btw, how warm does the Z gets when you are using it outside in the hot noon heat?

The z is a hotter phone similar to sgs2, hox, hox+. Comparatively htc butterfly n note 2 n nexus4 is cooler

Oh damn...as far as I remember s2 was very hot. So far I haven't read any complain in the Singapore forum about the heat which is ok. I wonder how it will be when using Waze.

Maybe the phone just had its time reset to 12 from being switched off for too long? I don't see how someone who would go through the trouble to fake it, to make such a silly novice mistake.. but then again, we have seen how some doctored photos that was clearly photos shopped making their way to the MSM.... LOL

It could be done deliberately just to laugh at how fast people could jump to conclusions. Screens between the same manufacturer cannot jump so far apart. Besides, you say is obvious but how many of us missed it? I missed it too until it was pointed out over at xda. I checked some review photos just to make sure and it is unmistakable...the 5 little circles is always there.

Are u sure will tapao htc one?
Will Sony release another flagship in just 3 mths time to disappoint it's xpz customers?
If Sony really do release this phone after 3 mths, it already losing sales to htc already for 3 mths on the HTC One.

So, I can't understand why this will be a threat to htc.
*
Tbh, HTC and Motorola have both lost a lot of their market share to Samsung. And...Sony was never a thread to anyone before and already hit the panic button? But...for the first time in history of Singapore I heard there's a queue for Z. Nothing compared to the iPhone though hahaha.

I only download whatsapp and viber.. Have to delete facebook apps and other uninstall or remove update applications.. Quite hard for me to survive, but still manage to last until now..  biggrin.gif RM1.5k is quite lot of money, so I have to choose seriously so I won't regret. It has external memory, but some apps only can install at internal memory..
*
Regret is a big word. I splurge on the Arc on day 2 of Malaysia launch not reading anything about internal memory and $hit (was my first smartphone so duh i have ZERO idea on the apps) and have been using it until now. I'm really mad that there were so many things I can't install due to low RAM and phone memory. I could still get apps good thing that app2sd was around on Gingerbread. the RAM though still....ugh! The 2GB RAM is something to look forward too. it is not that i don't want to do change but i just want to make myself remember this hard lesson laugh.gif

My case can be classified as trauma from past experience..one of my trousers had a hole which i did not noticed..So instead of staying in my pocket, Un-lucky enough, my phone fell into the drain.. I managed to get the phone out with help, however then the phone wont boot up anymore, no matter how long I carefully dried the board.. sad.gif
Since then I checked my pocket too many times to ensure no hole..

No need to worry with this. You can drop it in Dettol tongue.gif or clean it once a week with soap! rclxm9.gif

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. biggrin.gif

Double internal memory is good. 32GB should be the min for a flagship imo, with games reaching 3-4 gb now, and with Full HD a common place.

you must be a champion in tap tap revenge 4 or similar games laugh.gif rclxms.gif thumbup.gif

i love the game on the iphone but did not install on my Arc because it is internal memory only and hangs or reboot doh.gif

Haha, I prefer the Alienware laptops, speakers are awesome. I certainly don't want a bunch of front facing speakers on my phone though.

I think Sony would want to put it at the bottom rear. But well you know that thing about Apple....might get sued unnecessarily.

One thing I have to give kudos to Sony is with their Back Up & Restore program.

One issue I was worried was all my Kairosoft Games and the save games (which were saved on the root) as they weren't save on the microSD or online. But the built in Sony's Back Up & Restore program was able to back up the games + save games/data into my SD and was transferred across safely from my Acro S to Z. (I had to install the .apk from the Z in the Acro S as the latter had a different one).

Benny, nice battery life there. I haven't had time to test mine out yet, I'm still setting it up. But I am quite a demanding user out of my Android phones.. the amount of programs/software I have running and what not.
*
What is the battery temperature when you're playing games? Some reached 45 with general use and the response given was normal. I hit 50 with Waze and it was super hot and this is only 5 degrees lower laugh.gif

err... most 1080p video file (esp .mkv) are more than 4gb. can go up to 10gb or more.

so if you want to watch FHD movie on the Z, chances r u'll face difficulty copying to the SD card
*
It supports USB otg and supports multiple ports USB too. So one port for the powerbank and another for the thumbdrive. Pure win. Besides, all my 1080p movies are over 10GB.

Regarding washed out screen, mine's really bad, unfortunately. When you're using it on its own, you won't really feel it. But once you put it next to any phone, it looks absolutely horrible and ugly. Really an absolute turn off for what is supposed to be Sony's latest and greatest. Really does not compliment it's great design.

Will definitely think twice the next time I think of getting a Sony mobile.

You don't even have to compare with other phone. You rest it on a table not far off from you and it immediately turns bad. This is what we called viewing angle problem. Screen off it will the best looking phone ever. thumbup.gif

Even looking at it straight on and comparing with the other phones at an angle, it's bad. LOL.

Agreed with your latter statement!

In your case, then it is most likely a faulty set. This is impossible.
