Hi,
Please count me in.
White XZ here.

Waiting for white ZL more than week,sad to say that the white ZL still unavailable!
Since the XZ price is still acceptable at below RM2K.
I forget about ZL and get this waterproof XZ

Guys,

I just bought the ZL and I have been using the Galaxy S2 for some time before that. Thus my brief comparison of The ZL is done against theĀ  S2 :

1) Sad to say Sony's screen still not as good as Samsung's Amoled. Colors are not punchy and contrast is very low. Somehow, the ZL performs OK with pics and video (perhaps due to Bravia 2 engine) but generally the screen is disappointing.

2) The ZL has a nice form factor and design with good quality materials being used. Nicely engineered. Physical camera button is a plus point.

3) As far as the UI is concerned, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Fortunately one can down load other apps from Play Store to change it some aspects of it.

4) The ZL tends to get very hot when playing games and watching videos.

5) Camera is mediocre - nothing to shout about.

6) Listening to music from the speaker is OK and loud enough.

7) LED notification light available. Use the app Light Flow to configure for missed calls, notifications, low batt warning etc.

8) Speed is good. There is some lag at times but nothing serious.

On the whole, I think Sony still has some distance to go before truly being able to go head to head with Samsung. I hope Sony can improve on the points above with future models.

This is just my humble opinion. Thanks for reading.

IMHO comparing to S3 (cant compare it to S4 yet) it smokes S3 in everyway. AMOLED is subjective, suitable for those who like high contrast and non realistic colour type of display. Although I agree that sony display is not class leading, but it is much more accurate than AMOLED. Class leading display with the most accurate colour have to go to iPhone 5. The only downside I believe is viewing angle (didn't affect me as I don't look at my screen sideway)

UI and button wise, it is one of the easier phone to use. S3 UI is horrible to me. perhaps I prefer the experience closer to stock android hmm.gif

If you're comparing with S2, I have serious doubt on your comparison. The best way to compare in terms of speed, camera, UI and display is try and use back your S2 after using ZL for 2 or 3 days.

Just my opinion on your opinion biggrin.gif

Guys, I think there is something wrong with my XZ. The maps app consumes battery so much and it preventing stamina mode from working properly. I've forced stop the app, but it's still there and drains my battery. Any idea what should I do?

I salute my XZ's battery.

I went into settings to browse around. In just a couple of mins batt drop from 52% to 49%.

With stamina mode on.

Coming from a SGS2, I can appreciate AMOLED's superior viewing angles, but i definitely now hate their contrast and overly vivid colour. Their display looks very cartoonish.

Hi guys.
Which place is the better one to purchase Xperia Z, going to purchase it tomorrow.
Is it MV or KLCC?

A little bit off topic here.
Seems like everybdy knows a lot about xperia smartphne out there.
Which one is the better one, Xperia V or Xperia Tx?
Can you guys suggest me which of this both Xperia V or T based on spec wise.
I'm looking a comparison on:-
1. NFC
2. LTE
3. Long term of using those phones.

Sorry for asking too much but this is gonna be our (me and my bro) 1st smart phone.
He's the one who gonna buy Xz while my budget are tightly for XT/XV.

Thx guys, really appreciate all of the replies to my qstn.
