as much as i like it, the size is really overkill laaaaaa
this isnt for everybody, there are people who want big phone like uncle benny, u wan smaller version, get xperia z, u want smaller version with xperia zu spec, wait for honami or myb a rebrand xperia z.
i think it could be a pre production model, that is why no led, but say if really no led flash in the phone, i believe it will has some sort of a detachable flash accessory. watch this video below, pause at 0.27sec, u can see some sort of connector hub.
i tot its supposed to be cheaper or at least same rrp with xperia z for the lack of led flash and its 8 mp camera~
i really wana c whether the new triluminos display can compete with slcd3 on htc one and amoled scree of s4 or iphone 5 screen. i hope it wont have any viewing angle wash out colors anymore.
i tried to understand more about triluminos so do a little research bout it. so what i understand so far was that this triluminos is a technology that enables LCD TFT displays to show a wider range of colors, and thus to display images that are richer and more vivid.
So i was wondering since triluminos is a technology and the screen use it still a lcd tft, which is the same as in xperia z, is it possible that this technology can be put into xperia z via firmware update? The TFT displays on the Xperia Z, ZL, and other older devices from Sony have been criticized for their washed out colors and poor viewing angle. see the comparison photo below,
and another thing, the x-reality engine, is an image processing technology that enhances the images and videos displayed on the Xperia Z Ultra. It makes pictures look sharper, reduces noise, improves contrast, and fine tunes saturation.. those who already try the honami mod, and installed the x-reality engine, did u c any significant improvement over the current BraviaEngine2?
From what I know, TFT is the basis for LCD tech, an IPS display is a variant of TFT LCD. So far Sony did not use IPS type screen thus resulting in poor visibility. The ZU however look like using an IPS TFT screen. Triluminos display from what I understand is where they change the normal white LCD backlight to help the LED display to show more colour. So most likely it hardware related.
But the X-Reality is a software which could be/ Has been ported to other devices
New ZU promo video, highlights input text efficiency.
I hv being wondering that does z ultra will hv that shatter proof sheet preapplied on the screen cause if it does then wont pointy things like pensil scartches it?
I really cant wait for a comparison between Sony triluminos screen vs HTC one slcd3 vs s4 superamoled vs iphone ips retina display. I hope triluminos will triumph among them or at least on par as im tired of Sony being inferior in hardware department especially the screen n proc. z ultra seems to be the first time Sony kinda up to date spec with d s800 proc n new display. these two things I excited the most bout z ultra. until I c z ultra screen myself, the best display of mobile phones currently for me is HTC one, second iPhone 5, third are xperia z and galaxy s4(draw for me as s4 win in viewing angle but xperia z more natural color than oversaturated superamoled color.)
I just molest Z Ultra this afternoon 2 words! Super awesome! The Sony staff told me will launch on August in Malaysia! Then Honami confirm launch on IFA event on Sept
where did u molest this precious bro? btw im really excited with the triluminos desplay, so how was it? can beat the superamoled s4 n HTC one slcd3? or at least on par I hope it does.
it always nice to hv a super camera on a phone but whatever it is I still want a phone with a great camera, not a camera wit a phone functionality like 1020 n s4 zoom. u want a super camera like those, then u wont get a slim n sexy phone. notin is perfect.
This is my last phone for year 2013, to prevent regret, better buy LTE.
Bro, I will miss u from z thread when u finally bought zu Btw what in zu u intereted the most? The big triluminos screen or the s800 proc ? Btw no flash, will it effect u much? For me even z got flash, I rarely use it to take photo. But having it come in handy as I cn use it as flashlight
Bro, congrat, good purchase for u. Btw I really hope I can c one in live. I really Wana c that triluminos screen, I wonder how good is it, if we compare to HTC one screen or s4 or even iPhone 5, which screen is better overall in term of viewing angle, contrast level, vivid n color reproduction?
