Aiya...take the Jabra one that hangs on a chain laaaa...nice and small, probably the battery can be replaced as well with a little skill.

How was palm rejection did u have to write with yr palm above the screen or resting on the screen? The writing does not seem to have caught all strokes.

Looks like only the fully conductive KEY works properly. The others are somewhat hit and miss.

And I do observe he seems to keep his palm OFF the screen.

Note 3 will have serious competition

You are probably right, coz it has been commented, and I have seen that Sony device prices drop quite rapidly.

Here....Google Translate....

Maybe they didn't have a passport to inspire their design.

Hi would like to request when u post a review can u specifically test palm rejection ie test writing by resting your palm on the screen. Much appreciated if u consider this thanks.

Bro thank you very much!!!!!!!!

This proves that the digitizer cannot handle multi touch when writing. I think you are the first person in the world to confirm this. Would you mind if I reshare the video?

See, consider how you write notes on paper. Your palm/edge of palm is resting on the paper. Or even if you were to hold a notepad, your thumb will grip an edge of the notebook touching the paper while your writing hand rests on the paper.

If you have to keep your writing hand OFF the writing surface and your other hand CANNOT touch the screen while writing, tell me how long can you sustain writing?

At best, you can only write a short sentence before your forearm starts feeling sore.

Since I'm a Note user, I use it for note taking and occasional sketching. The natural way of writing is you rest your palm edge on some surface to write.

The Note 2, at 5.5", sometimes needs you to place the palm at the bottom edge of the screen to write from the top of the screen. I can do this and still write without any problems.

If I had to keep my hand above the screen the whole time, I will not be able to take down notes more than 1 or 2 sentences at most. You can verify this by taking a small piece of paper, say A5, and test writing with palm on paper and hand above paper.

Given the humongous size of the ZU, if you want to write notes in a meeting, which can get to be quite a lot, it will be natural to expect that you treat the screen surface as a regular writing surface since you are using a regular writing instrument ie pen/pencil.

I am fond of *active* digitizers I had contemplated the ZU as a refresh for my new device, but because I have tried many other styli for my other non-active digitizer device, I am more keenly aware of the need for palm rejection.

Like I said if u wanted to scribble a short sentence or 2 it can work but it does not have any app that is the equivalent of the samsung s-note so u cannot actually treat the xz screen as a sheet of paper.

I just sketch the occasional diagram during discussions.

ZU is still useful as a phablet though as it is the largest device in this category

Wah full speed ahead thread for the next 3-5 days here. I will also be interested in the battery life and overall performance, stylus issues aside.

*intend to buy*

I am open, but I will wait for the Note 3 to show up first. I will still keep my Note 2.

There does not seem to be any publicity in the mainstream news, so it will likely be slow.

Well bro I am into phablets but prefer having an active digitizer. Otherwise this is still a beast phone.

I think you need to close your eyes when meditating...not on drains ....

Likely the same problem suffered by the Samsung Mega, or even Huawei Mate...I think no manufacturer is sure how to market these massive phones since not everybody will take to it. Better to spend marketing funds on mainstream phones?
