I agreed with you on stamina mode. If it performs similarly as per xperia Z , 3000 mah shouldn't be any issue
Of course everyone wants higher battery as much as possible
It does look significantly bigger vs mega 6.3 based on hardwarezone photos. But I don't think this will be a pocketable problem with me

Yes definitely. Racun too strong to resist
I just love big display phones

Xperia ZU Display :
Experience the difference in detail as the TRILUMINOS Display for mobile goes beyond conventional LCD screens by creating a wider palette of rich, natural colours while the X-Reality image processor engine for mobile adds spectacular clarity to your pictures by reducing noise and enhancing contrast, saturation, and sharpness.

Design wise just a expanded version of xperia Z nothing special to me
To me is still a big slab of rectangular glass
The xperia Z design never impress me n so is this XZU. I buy stuff for its features n design is one of bottom last in my priorities

Hardware zone.sg reported phone will be available for sale in Spore in July. Based on a guy who is now at Shanghai attending the launch

Yes ! if it comes out to Spore first. As always , It will definitely be pricier than M'sian release. You want to tumpang me again ?

Amazing benchmarks : AnTuTu 33622 n Quadrant 18581

Yes, only a brief review - satisfactory only , nothing exceptionally great. this is the link

Not true at all
Not everyone wants a 6.4 inch phone. This is only for a very limited niche market
The upcoming Honami will be an upgrade to current xperia z

Honami leak photos:

Traditionally clove prices lower than announced retail. In this case is higher by £20.
At RM2500 export prices this could mean local prices be around RM 2.2-2.3k range based on previous trends
Personally I think maximum price here will not exceed RM 2.4k

I don't think it will be cheaper than xperia Z. At worst launch at similar price as Xperia Z.

Honami will be best upgrade for XZ users who find the XZU size too gigantic! !

Apparently only the 3G version will hit Spore in July . LTE version - no date yet known. Is there a 3G version - I thought it is only LTE . Maybe I missed this info there is also a 3G version

Samsung S1 is the Worst android phone I have ever used. Even HTC HD2 on android is better.
Using this as example to say Samsung doesn't make good phones could be wrong. I gave up wanting to use another Samsung. However it's successor S2 redeem its failures. Try Note2 which I still say is best Samsung phone I have used to date. I won't say is perfect n there is no perfect phone yet but this score highly with me till today
