Guys a lil birdie told me 1 telco will be launching XZ on march 14 ....

not at 4th floor, is at ground floor beside the shop selling apple accessories.

Should I get it from here or in UK? Coz i will be going back to UK for my convo in a week time. Opinion?

if you plan to staying at Malaysia than u get it from here. If work at UK than just buy it at there. This will solve your warranty issue in the future time.

if u can get the free headset offered in uk, i think it worth it. however the only problem i think would be the warranty.

Guys, does XZ feature noise cancellation?

This or HTC one.. Hahaiizz..

i suppose u mean noise cancellation during calls
yes, almost all smart phone like android, iphone & windows phone have tis feature
until now, still haven't seen a device without tis feature

if u mean noise cancellation over music playback u will need a supported headphone
unlike sony walkman

Pre order at paradigm didn't pay anything . Once stock arrived they will call

Where and what is this place ??

Think to yourself, spec matters, or usability better?
For me, I made my mind once, and not going back on it.
Compare both phones thoroughly, consider what will be missing after you purchased your phone.
Like One, the viewing angle is good, the camera might be good( i still cannot say as sample pictures release still cannot satisfy my eyes) and performance wise, it's the best to date.
For me, One is a dealbreaker as I like to swap between all three of my 32gb mSD cards, OTG is not an option for me so far. Some more I'm the type to go on activities, usually swimming, so Z can help me on that. I can even pair with my Olympus Tough camera to shoot underwater!

This are some of factors for me that made my mind on Z..
What's yours..

FYI,all Sony water resistant phone is not designed for swimming even ip57,its design for accidental damage,raining,and bathing

(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.
