I ask my area Sony center, he told me is LTE.

But no demo set to play also and brochure do show no LTE.

Anyway got or not, not important already as my friend not intend to get it anymore as he cannot accept front camera only VGA. Ops!

Damn, none of those places I visit on a regular basis. Anyway, I am on DiGi unlimited data plan contract for 2 years (another 15 months to go), so all this is irrelevant to me. Yes, everyone says DiGi is crap in West Malaysia, but surprisingly, their coverage and speed is pretty decent here in Sabah. In some instances, they actually did better than the big two's.

And I don't download tonnes of stuff with my phone that requires high speed. In the office, I have a 4mbps streamyx line which has proven to be quite stable, so no fret. So to me, LTE or no LTE is not a factor. Even if both versions are available, but at different price point, I will still take the non LTE version if it was significantly cheaper. But everyone's requirements are different, obviously. To some, their handphone is their only main internet access portal, so I guess to this group of users, having LTE phone (with LTE coverage) is a preferred choice.

aha looks like the campaign of transforming the whole family to use Xperia phones was successful!

my dad was constantly feeling intimidated with his colleague at work due to phone not that canggih...my mistake last time i've bought an el cheapo samsung phone in emergency since his phone was broken. now i'm happily getting him this ZR, since he's not too keen on large phones. screen size ok, back camera ok, water resistant is a must!

Ok just returned home with ZR in hand.
first play around it's very light comfortable in hand, width just nice.
viewing angle left much to be desired..i cant help myself comparing it to my tablet Z or even my old Ray...
sound is clear & quite loud for a waterproof phone...better than tablet Z
very responsive & snappy...no lag in homepage, open & closing program
photo took with back camera is satisfactory.

free SP & back case as per Raya offer.

with those high specs hardware in 720p of course snappy and no lag.. sure is good phone.. the only disadvantage is the vga front camera and 8gb internal which 4gb available for user accessible, 2gb for apps and 2gb for ROM..

but still ok la if not request much, GTA 4 1.3gb, Papago 800mb, plus other apps total up 1gb.. almost done for the internal memory ady..


previously planned to buy this ZR due to water resistant.. but after that move to ZL for larger internal memory and better front camera.. not choosing Z due to too big for my small palm.. ZR and ZL fulfill my size..

yes i dont mind getting the ZL too but my dad dislike the width of ZL...hahaha. he still chooses ZR coz it's narrower & more like normal phone my dad still thinks that any phone in the size of Note 2 is ridiculous which his colleague have one. he's a very manly guy but liked small phone. dont worry, he's not into gaming...his main concern is internet surfing & of course youtube

Erm.. Gaming on ZR sure nice.. Note 2 is a little big for a phone.. But recently saw some girls holding galaxy mega much ridiculous. Of course they prefer on larger screen la. haiz.. Mainstream now ady go for average 5 inch screen ady..

I'm sure ur dad can very proudly using the ZR by show his collegea but washing off his phone..

of course he would! later he 'accidentally' dropped his phone in sink full of water, picked it up, wipe it in front of his friends and said "kau ada?" haha so much win

those typical girls maa, suka tunjuk2 & take photo then shove it into their friends face... wth! and if boring2 during gathering put up their phones high until covering all their head, checking facebook. i think it's rude.

Don't mind on others.. Take care for ourselves better.. I buy a phone with trying to fully utilise the all function.. Today tried MHL to TV and playing gta 4 and dead trigger through ps3 dualshock wireless controller.. Omg.. Fanstatic baby..

My xperia zl act as ps3 station.. Woohoo.. My Aunty uncle just open mouth.. And those children keep asking me to borrow them..

lol... justasplanned.jpg

If xperia z, I can submerge the phone in water and play it.. Lol..

The time I buy ps3 dualshock, the salesman also .. Then another salesman said why play in so much small screen.. I direct borrow their shop TV and played it.. Then he


Nvm, both are same.. Happy with my compact phone.. Some people tot I'm buy s2. Then bought transparent case recently.. To show people I'm xperia.. Not s2

yes! that's what i want to hear..i'm yet to get myself the dualshock controller though. all in plan
now no need to buy ps3 box, just use phone as game box & mirror it to tv....this coming school holiday will be so much fun

Did you mirror via DLNA or a proprietary Sony phone to Sony TV protocol?

ok next challenge, where can i get flip book cover for this phone? search on ebay but nothing...i know it's a very new product, but then again when tablet Z was launched there's a couple of 3rd party case for it.

This is a midrange and perhaps fringe product, you may have to wait.

Haven't.. But planning to buy a sony TV.. Which support screen mirroring and hdmi.. Which I spotted rm1699 32inch TV.. Will find one day and go test it all first in Sony centre.. Wish to know the function of screen mirroring and throw features..

I thought you said "I direct borrow their shop TV and played it."

What did you mean by that sentence? I thought you mirrored your phone on the TV and started playing the game after pairing to your pS3 controller.

I
Did find a UK website selling it but its so expensive at 50GBP!

Oh yea.. But that is though MHL via hdmi cable to TV..

OK.

AFAIK, only Miracast and its related tecnologies can perform screen mirroring. Samsung has its Allshare. I believe Sony has something like this but have not explored it. Even Huawei has its Airshare.

Or fruity's Airplay.
