For the tablet xperia z, I use the SP that comes with the Incipio case
Never like to use SP but these scratchable anti shatter film is dissapointing
*
Since Tablet Z - Sony logo not printed at Shatter Sheet, I decide not stick any screen protector anymore. Once too scratch, I will pill off that Shatter Sheet.

As I damn hate SP.

What is the average file size of the pics ?
*
Average 1.5MB, superior auto mode default to 7MP.

Also, I notice this Xperia Z Ultra can snap more closer macro than Z. biggrin.gif

Not sure about this. I believe what's important for authorized set warranty is more on the claim time, rather than whether there are problems on making claims.
Love that first photo bro! Very lovely blue sky. I find that this camera is quite impressive. Though we do need more low light shots. biggrin.gif
Uncle Benny, r u using any SP for your XZU now? Just don't know where to get one now.
If you peel off the shatter sheet, will it look horrible? I mean will there be marks on the phone? But then again, under the shatter sheet is not Gorilla Glass, so probably the layer underneath is also quite fragile?  hmm.gif
*
After snap outdoor, I am quite satisfied with it, yesterday indoor just ok only, tonight maybe snap some low light.

-------
As I know can clean up after peel off Shatter Sheet, won't be any mark after clean. Underneath that glass is scratch resistance.

Here accumulate my simple small review.
  • Build Quality: Damn solid! obvious better than Z.
  • Screen Panel: The best I ever seen so far, no more viewing angle issue. Equal or even better than HTC One.
  • Loud Speaker: Slightly better than Z but still too soft.
  • Performance: Snapdragon 800 & Adreno 330 really is monster! wow! Awesome performance! Heavy 3D games had no issue playback smoothly even turn on the 4xAA at Developer options. Example games I test out include Real Racing & Despicable Me.
  • Interface: Currently same as Z one, it is old UI, not the new one as advertise during press. They is no X-Reality support yet, and also cannot open more than one Small Apps. The stylus input is kind of gimmick also for now, not as seen at press where can use everywhere.

New launcher when you drag app drawer to left you will see a vertical search bar of various stuffs
*
Hope Sony don't withdraw that new launcher! It not only UI change, but better feature as well, at least it let you open more than 1 small app.

guys can only do the update using computer right? i tried searching on my phone but no new update

phew. i just walked to lowyat sony centre so see how it goes. i'll pass this & grap i1 for sure. this can replace galaxy tab 7" i guess. btw Andrew, when i test it, the firmware almost identical to stock XZ. any updates that include camera like honami rom in XZ? -monx®
*
Sony didn't use the new UI as seen during press, maybe not coming yet, I hope Sony don't withdraw the new home launcher which is far better and nicer than now.

Camera I don't think now will have Honami feature one.

Just now @lowyat plaza, got chance to test the unit...

initial review

1) Everything load damn fast, the test unit is loaded with 300+apps

2) But when I watch movie, there r micro-lag. I blame this on the 300apps.

3) Stylus tested with normal ball pen (with and without the pen head)
it work fine but not as bad as review by unker...
disclaimer: i didnt own note2, so for me this is acceptable...
or mayb sony improve it with the latest firmware

QUOTE(mudkipryan94 @ Jul 31 2013, 03:55 PM)
hehe ASK out taiko Andrewtst

The new firmware do improve it.

I try use Pencil and it run fine, and can touch everywhere you want now.

good to hear sony actually improve the stylus input biggrin.gif
they really listen to consumer complain brows.gif

ohh i forget to test palm resting, how was it after the firmware update?

I not sure this consider fixed or not.

Now, you still can touch anything when your finger/palm rest at screen, but not working when try touch with stylus - example pencil.
