What worries me though is the open headphone jack. the XZ had flaps on em. I had a scenario with my previous HTC One X where water got in the open jack, and my phone went haywire as it shows that i had a headphone jack slotted in while i didnt. it went on for a few hours. But then again, it was a non IP rated device to begin with. But unless any vids come out regarding the jack being submerged/washed with water, then we should take XZU water-resistance with a little caution.
*
dont worry, they say open jack is better water resistant than flap. cos they waterproof the open jack, if flap is loose water goes in. so with XZU, u can listen to music/movies with earphones on while u are in the pool or at bath tub.

Im still pondering about the so-called "WATER-PROOF" features. If anyone have a solid and concrete experiment with it do share it here. tongue.gif

Shall be no issue, I did try in my Xperia Z. But didn't try yet on Tablet Z and this Z Ultra, no more fun on it anymore, so not plan to try. Haha!

QUOTE(shockk @ Aug 1 2013, 10:52 AM)
Normally if a friend ask me to do that, I will ask them to buy their own XZU and I will help them 'submerge test' instead.  rclxms.gif

Haha! lol...

I see, thanks for the info uncle!  thumbup.gif 

Was wondering the quality and camera capability as I often take pics with my XZ on Superior Auto in low light conditions and most of the time satisfactory for me. Example of lowlight condition i get good results with superior auto; KLCC park at night around 9pm.

I think i wont be needing a flash on my XZU as planning to use it only as a secondary backup gadget/device, as my XZ will be my daily driver.
*
Without flash never issue for me, I never take any photo with flash one, as I hate flash from phone, it just look way to fake even though it is clear.

QUOTE(yet_twy88 @ Aug 1 2013, 10:54 AM)
If only if its waterproof capability is the same as Xperia Z, since on paper, it should be better than XZ. I wash my XZ on daily basis using soap as I didn't use any case. Wouldn't bother it gets dirty or oily, hahaha. And I also submerged it inside water and take photos underwater. Just that the speaker will be muffled and have to wait for around 2 hours to let it dry up. So I have confidence in XZU's waterproof capability, couldn't wait for LTE models in SG!
*
Soap! wow! I never do that, but play with water twice before for my Z.

Is the charging adapter embedded with usb port? Or it is something like this?
If it is something like the pictures shown i think is much better because the connector is solid and wont easily break.

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.

Bro, have you tried using the pie-launcher thingy? It would greatly help in one handed operation since the only part that's difficult to reach for me is the app drawer.

Do a review like last time you did with the Z la laugh.gif

Cons - Sound output soft
Fix - Install the audioboost thingy

Then post on the first page. Damn helpful wei biggrin.gif

I digress.  Maxis 3G is getting worse by the day, huge latency during the day that even checking your gmail is so tediously slow and messages may need a few tries to retrieve. Facebook images load poorly or doesnt load at first try.  Its gotten so bad that Sometimes, I even use my wife's iPhone 5 as a hotspot to connect into.
*
Is it now? To think I was gonna jump ship to them. Have to rethink it seems. Hmmm...

LTE for mobile device is only offered by Maxis though atm right?

QUOTE(meaow @ Jul 31 2013, 11:01 PM)
it will depends on the battery capacity. like sony XZU have 3000mah battery, normal charging rate is 1.5A (0.5C). if you want fast charging, you actually can charge the battery at 3A (1C), it will also depends whether the battery is supporting fast charging at 3A. You don't need to know all this limitation because the phone has IC to control the charging rate.

sorry for being a bit technical here... hope this will help everyone on their beloved gadget.

If its any near to the Z build, normal tap washing shud be no issues. Ive washed my XZ a lot of times with no issues. also the was an instance my son spilled over a good serving of ice cream on it and i just washed away like nobody's business. But as for XZU, with the open headphone jack port, I cannot say much. Maybe will try washing it in that area once i get my set later today..

With the higher IP rating of the Ultra, I don't think it would pose a problem. The Z was marketed as "Water Resistant" whilst the Ultra as "Water Proof".

QUOTE(remonx @ Aug 1 2013, 10:43 AM)
Okay, i dont have much higher expectation for the water proof features actually. If it can submerged in water, lets say  capture pictures at beach vacation inside the sea, then will attract me buying it. biggrin.gif

Try SCN - Night Portrait mode. This Z Ultra is same behavior as Z, only SCN - Night Portrait mode work under low light condition.

Snapping my favor never wear shoe in low light area (under table corner), haha! tongue.gif

I find the result is much better than my previous Z, this is something great. biggrin.gif

Tonight will try snap more night shoot.

That looks pretty alright actually...especially for a phone. Though what uncle Benny said about taking photos outside kinda worries me.

How bout mamak or food joints like TR/Chillis/Friday's? Anyone can do a sample shot?

And water leak damage is NOT covered under warranty.

How do you mean? Water enters a waterproof device under the controlled conditions is not covered under warranty?

On a different note, anyone remember who posted the link about the V being lost at sea for a couple of days but it still worked? Even had footage of the whole thing. Happened in Japan iirc
