Belum lah !! No reason to root yet as no custom kernel, tweal\ks, roms yet. Will definitely do it once I see purexaudio tweak is out. This tweak does real wonders to the sound quality of the Xperia Z
Maybe I will try to root it later today

But can't use tibu to restore apps aihh

You mean you have already rooted it but unable to use Titanium Backup ??

I just try out my current Z, and I just know actually I never touch the screen at all during typing/swiping. Haha! It really not a issue then.

no I haven't root yet uncle because I don't have accessto aany laptop until now.

Super excited that you guys are lucky enough to have it already

Could someone please comment on how reading text - pdf/web browsing compares to something like the note 2?

Screenshots of a text pdf in portrait would be much appreciated

Thanks for the sample snap, just download some. The quality is slightly wax but still in acceptable level, hope Sony can improve better in future and reduce the compression & post processing, it seems some edge issue happen due to high compression and post processing.

Im interested to know to but judging from the spec. Snapdragon 800 literally can handle pdf and heavy browsing like peanuts plus that trilluminous 1080p display!

More interested to see how good 1080p on a 6"+ screen actually is specifically for reading text - vs. a 720p screen (like galaxy mega 6.3, or huawei ascend mate). Is there actually a tangible day to day difference? Or do you really have to use a magnifying glass to tell? Does it allow you to read smaller text without zooming?

The processor shouldn't be a issue in my opinion - my note 2 handles large (500mb+ sometimes) PDFs just fine. SmartQ Reader is best for just reading imo (fastest), but if you want annotation features than ezpdf is best.

Would love someone who actually owns one to comment on the above Still tossing up whether to buy this or a 6.3 galaxy mega/ascend mate as its ~$400 difference at the moment. Is the 1080p vs 720p on a 6"+ screen worth it?

Thanks heaps in advance

Seem Sony KLCC is not selling Xperia Z Ultra today and told after 1st August. Have anyone brought it from here yesterday and today.

Sony KLCC won't sell that Xperia Z Ultra anymore until 1st August, actually I do call them yesterday and I ask why, they said they cannot sell anymore as they received complain from Sony headquarter already.

So now they actually have stock but not willing to sell anymore until 1st August.

Text do look better on FHD on 6"+ especially when u zoom in text . That's about all . Colors do look better as well compared to the other 2 models you mentioned . As for 6+ 720p , i still prefer Huawei over Samsung , colors are better as well but that's me .

I have to repeat again, the screen really amazed me. Seems like can't turn back anymore.

But seems like Snapdragon 600 and 800 not feel too much difference. But loading page more faster.

Btw TS, mine set is White color ya.

Using aldiko



Using ezpdf

Price difference between Mega/Mate with this is not rm400 but is rm800. I will be interested to know where you can get the XZU for just rm1.8k
Paying rm800 extra just for display is not worth it. The XZU has more to offer besides a nicer better display
Go n view these phones yourself as your taste /requirements is different from others

I believe you can definitely take better camera shots than me.

How some web pages look on the XZU. I am using Boat browser

yea for me the xzu is a lot snappier than my note 2. and the double glass design just oozes class. build quality is top notch.

Thanks Benny888

Is it possible to get a screenshot of something like theverge.com /engadget.com on desktop mode?

Want to compare how much further 1080p goes for browsing

I'm essentially after the biggest screen I can fit in my pocket. At the moment its between the XZU and Galaxy Mega 6.3.

In Australia, at the moment there is going to be a ~$400 AU price difference at launch for the XZU. (Mega $450, XZU $850+).

For me if I can read text more clearly without zooming in for pdf and web browsing then I'd consider it.

Thanks heaps in advance! You guys are so lucky

This is the verge site. I can easily read without zooming
