so is it available today?

Don't think so. Up to now no news from any of the seller yet. Probably just another "big talk". Lol

Btw the Seller from http://www.lelong.com.my/sony-xperia-zr-sa...7-01-Sale-I.htm said that it's already available, all 4 colors. Check their website for the price. Lol

Just bought mine from The Original Shop in lelong.com with rm1498, no lte. I'm not using it anyway. Antutu Benchmark was 19600. Back Camera comparable to s4, not bad at this price. But the front camera...well, what can expect from vga

Hmmm....weird eh, Sony Malaysia website didn't state ZR got lte version, I think the set you got is AP set. But then dynamic distributor usually is for ori set.  rclxub.gif

well, cheapest LTE phone for Sony currently is Xperia V, and it's camera is better than SP too. If you are on a tight budget, can consider Xperia V ap set. 899 can get.  rclxms.gif  But u'll have to make do with it's lower capacity battery compared to Xperia SP. V 1750 mah and SP 2370 mah

Bro mine no lte, it's c5502 version.

some ppl still say its OVERPRICE... maybe sam***g or epal can give them more than that
*
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

I am still undecided about ZL vs. ZR. Waterproofing and all is nice, but there is something about the ZL form factor that really attracts me.

This comparison doesn't help me much either laugh.gif

http://versus.com/en/sony-xperia-zr-vs-sony-xperia-zl

According to that site:

5 points in favor of ZR:
1) Dustproof and water proof (we all know that already)
2) ZR is 1.90mm  (!) more narrow than the ZL. (frankly speaking, is this really that much of a difference?)
3) ZR is 0.60mm (!!!) shorter than the ZL. (again.... it's so marginal)
4) ZR has 2 microphones vs ZL's one. Probably for noise cancellation.
5) ZR is 13gm lighter than ZL.

but.... ZL has ELEVEN (11 !) pluses against the ZR???
1) ZL has continuous AF while shooting video, but ZR don't have. Anyone can confirm this?
2) ZL has double the internal storage of ZR.
3) ZL can create panorama in camera, but not ZR. Again, can anyone confirm this? Even my Acro S can do panorama in camera....
4) ZL has much higher pixel density. Can my eyes actually tell the difference between 441 ppi and 319 ppi?
5) ZL has bigger screen. (duh...)
6) ZL is 0.60mm (!!!) thinner than ZR.
7) ZL has a videa light but ZR don't have. You mean ZR's LED light don't work during video? That's odd.
8) ZL has 2.75% LESS (!!!!!!) body volume compared to ZR. (this is gettign ridiculous)
9) ZL camera has manual exposure control, but not the ZR. This is important to me, who loves photography.
10) ZL has higher resolution (Full HD) vs. ZR (HD only). Isn't this covered in point 4) ?
11) ZL has electronic image stabilizer, whereas the ZR has none. Can anyone verify this?

Again, these are points from the website which I posted the link to. Not my own. The phone shop I always like to go to mentioned they will have the ZR in by today. I was comparing the screen of the ZL vs. Z. There is a marked difference in screen clarity between the two. Both phones were set to using the same wallpaper, and set to maximum brightness. The ZL seems to have much better screen clarity than the Z. Hopefully the ZR will arrive today and I will get to test the ZL vs. ZR screen clarity on the spot, before making a decision whether to buy the ZL or the ZR.... or keep my Acro S. tongue.gif

Xzr got continuous focus and led working in video, sweep panorama working well, exposure value can be adjusted manually if you're not in superior auto mode, image stabiliser exist for non hdr mode

i do not know about the anti shatter film until you tell me...then i go google it...

so basically no need to apply another layer of protector screen already?

i am newbie of smartphone...hehe..got it this evening.....ops, should be yesterday evening by looking the time now..

and the boss also told me there is no cover of ZR currently..is that correct?
*
In my opinion, it's better to put another layer of sp on top of the shatterproof layer, better protection, the sensitivity won't be affected. No cover in the phone shop currently. But you can Buy nillkin Anti fingerprint sp and the case online. Search around in LYN, worth it

Don't see anyone selling the dock yet. I saw a couple on eBay, but still very expensive at USD60+ each. Considering the fact that the XZ dock only sells for around USD10 each, I say wait for a while longer for more docks to become available.  laugh.gif

if I buy it at eBay, will it post to Malaysia? I mean will there be procedure to settle with kastam or anyone else in the airport? sorry I'm totally noob in this thing

No lah, customs usually will not tahan these things. I had used eBay countless times before. No issues so far. Got one used camera lens kena tahan before by Pos Malaysia. But that was because the lens' value was more than RM1000. Open up the packaging in front of the officer and show them what is was. Lepas. No issues.

I think they won't tahan you unless you bought in bulk with intention to resell. Even that also I seldom hear people complain kena tahan. Just don't put cocaine in the box lah. hahaha..... tongue.gif

walaoeh. won't dare to put in cocaine lo. haha. thanks for the information ya. better wait for someone here to import it
