This phone announced since january..others only this month...

Wow v4 already! Nice!! How's your battery life guys? Mine's average... also reporting scratches on the ori sp on the back...

news on 4.2 update?

ZL got update : 10.1.A.1.434

Nothing much to be reviewed. You can check out the diff via all the YouTube videos.

I personally like the ZL form-factor and the IR features. I used Z for 2 days, well, not the phone I want 

Just buy the phone I LIKE    SIMPLE  That's ZL for the time being. 

Ha..ha..same reason here, waiting for sp and casing before getting zL...

too bad I have active exchange . . . . even in stamina mode it cant maintain 100% during night >.<

Lazada seems to be selling xperia zl quite cheap i would say.

Xperia ZL review from Android Police

some simple analysis done

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key...SGc&usp=sharing

1.	The standby time is similar to that of note 2, in fact per mAh, the Z is more lower in power consumption
2.	The web browsing usage is also similar
3.	The big issue is the video playback test where the Z suffers high battery usage
4.	Endurance of Z uses a bit higher battery than the Note 2

then I do a theoretical calculation with the Z having the same battery size as the Note 2,
and the 3G talktime is a massive 20+ hrs with the webbrowsing similar time
but the video playback still way off (3 hrs) from what Note 2 can do

so my guesses:
1. Z display is the battery guzzler of the whole unit
2. Z 3G talktime is the current unwritten de facto standard between manufacturer. Nobody want to start a batt life war which is less important to them. As long as the Talk time is closes to their competitor, they could care less if the batt life suffers in other area

batt with stamina mode does increases the life time
but for a full functioning stamina mode, you are making your 2k+ phone to be like a Rm70 nokia 1110
adding exception to the stamina mode will just slowly pulling you back to square one, battery size to small

any other function on the Z other than the 3G talktime is either equal of worse off than the Note 2
Putting bigger battery size can only bring back the smartphone function (web browse, video playback etc) to equal terms of Note 2

but as of now, the Z is way off the batt life compared to the Note 2 on smart phone capabilities

Hi, wanna ask where can buy the casing or cover for　Ｘｐｅｒｉａ　ＺＬ？　Ｎｅｅｄ　１　ｆｏｒ　ｍｉｎｅ　ＸＺＬ　：）
Ｔｈａｎｋｓ．

Nice looking phone also need some protector to protect it, scare later been scratch 

hi, i just sign celcom xperia z , only got black and white, i choose black...really want purple ..anyone wanna trade with black? my phone estimate arrive arround 1-2 week :0

Get a nillkin sp front and back for extra protection, the preapplied anti shatter sp if scratch, when u removed it, the sony logo will be removed as well.

white or black finggerprint magnet? 

Similar issue with me, however when i plug the stock earpiece into my bluetooth, it insanely loud with good bass.
