Comparing ZR & ZL, expected price difference is just 1xx (maybe less when it is actually released ...). Will ZR make ZL obsolete? The only noticeable advantage ZL has is better display, bigger storage, and a better front camera.

so is it available today?

wooo.. 13 pages

well, at 1gadgetdotcom fb, ZR original is available at rm1499..

oh interesting 
but the harga... last time Ray was only RM999 what 

Dymamics set. AP or ori? I don't know :-P
back camera sample taken at low light without flash

my bad. Too excited until read wrongly. haha. But still a good price at 1499. Quad core, 2gb ram, waterproof. 

The price was just nice. Actually I was expecting price like 1.7k as in Taiwan it cost about 17k nt$

Somehow got some feeling of less security when I immerse it in water,  probably due to the removable battery, not like the one in xperia go :-P anyway it survived my first water immersion test. Hehe

Directd also said it is LTE version.. im confused       

Finally ori stk reach... Can go play water now

Let just say DirectD and OG mention they're selling LTE variation. Those who bought the phone should be able to check if its c6603(HSPA) or c6602(LTE).

Look at this guys, 99% sure price is 1499 for ori set already.

And this is directD's quote.

How come it is Original Sony Xperia ZR-C5502? So is it lte? it mentions ntg about lte though.

I also wanna save up... save save ...

Can anyone else confirm the price is RM1499? I would definitely love to buy it.

I tried XZ, XZL, XZR and Acro S side by side. XZL & XZR screen is exactly the same in terms of clarity and contrast, meaning both still loses to the Acro S. I cannot believe how good the Acro S screen was. But eventually I walked off with the XZL and not the XZR. I guess IP58 in itself is really insufficient to convince me. XZL has a bigger and much higher resolution screen in not much a bigger phone size. It also has double the internal memory size, and a IR transmitter which I sometimes find useful. It seems that both the XZR & XZL uses the same EXMOR RS sensors, which is supposed to perform better in low light. Not sure about the XZ.

.... but there's now another twist to the story. After I picked up the XZL and left the shop, I realized that the earpiece loudspeaker is not working! i.e. I received a call and when trying to listen to the call with the phone next to my ear, no sound. But when I switch to loudspeaker mode, the other person's voice can be heard loud and clear from the rear loudspeaker! Twice factory reset, and updated the firmware to 4.2.2 also the issue remains. Guess I got a lemon copy. It was already too late and the shop was closed for Saturday, and today Sunday, shop was not open for business. Guess I will have to go back to the shop tomorrow to either claim a 1 to 1 exchange for another new XZL, or..... I am fated to get the XZR! hahaha.....

Superbuy is selling the LTE version C5503, that's y the selling price is at RM1649.
