No flash for the camera, non removable battery and no LTE. Otherwise, the other features like full HD display, 2 front speakers, stylus capability, low price etc may make this an appealing phablet.

How is Asus' after sales service ?

I had a chance to play with a black set in LYP.

Nice full HD screen and finishing. Contrary to reviews which said that it has a glossy plastic surface, it actually came with a soft touch back cover which is slip resistant.

Feels light and not too bulky despite its thickness. Not much bloatware installed.

However, the 2 front speakers are a big disappointment. Even my Mega's single rear speaker is so much louder. Wonder if firmware update can fix this.

I came across some online retailers who are selling this for less than $ 1,300. I suppose it's really good value.

so how does it feel in your hand compared to your Mega 6.3? Is it about the same size?

It feels just a little smaller and lighter despite it being thicker.

I like the back cover which is slip resistant and gives a more premium feel. The Mega's glossy plastic feels cheap and slippery.

After 1 day...
Design wise - nice n comfy to hold in hands, much better than my previous z ultra. No creaky parts, good built quality.
UI Experience - very fast n smooth, didnt encounter any lagging. I love the one handed operation features which can select between 4.3 to 4.7 inch.[attachmentid=3760674]
Display - its better than my previous z ultra, the screen somehow is more lively. Like htc butterfly. Can also adjust color saturation [attachmentid=3760673]
Performance - so so, havent got to try it to the fullest. But as requested by some user, i did play Asphalt 8(omg the file so big), its running smooth. Same with real racing 3.
Sound - loudspeaker is nice n rich but at maximum its still not loud enough. Need to put my ringtone level at 80 percent when outdoor.
Stylus - comparable to note 1 or note 2 maybe? Very accurate n smooth. Fon can even detect where is ur last stylus location.
Battery - plug off at 6am. At 4pm left with 40%. SOT 1hour 30minutes. With wifi on allthe time, internet browsing, downloads, whatsapp n play games. Not so good but still ok. will keep monitor later with normal usage.

Hi, how about the performance of the GPS when used in a car? Can it get a lock on quickly and maintain signal ?

Sorry i dont have mobile data, cant test. If at home with wifi the lock time is acceptable, not slow.

You can actually test it with an app called GPS Data cos it doesn't require mobile data.

I understand that the black one feels more premium, but the white version has creaky parts. When are you getting yours?

Can't wait to get one for myself.

Haha....I don't think I will get it although it's tempting. Still love my Mega 6.3 very much and have no use for the stylus. The lack of flash for the camera is also a put off cos I use it as a torchlight pretty often tongue.gif

Watched youtube review just now....the soft buttons does not auto hide does it? Are all phones with soft buttons the same? Hehe so many questions..

The soft buttons on the Xperia Z and ZL goes away depending on the app used. It will reappear when screen is touched.
