Finally found the Xperia Z Ultra unboxing.



The retail unit is preloaded with old interface, old wallpaper, old launcher, not the latest where show in the press!  hmm.gif  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

At the end, it even show Bravia Engine 2 instead of X-Reality ... ...

It seems Sony is rush on it, hopefully soon new firmware will out with new interface and X-Reality.

I just check Sony Hong Kong site where mention new firmware with X-Reality will only be start rolling out from 9/Sept onwards.

Is this problem being experienced by XZU's in Malaysia? Can an owner rectify whether your ZU's have the new interface, new wallpapers and new launcher and X-Reality like how it was advertised? I don't wanna buy one and get stuck on something outdated and would have to wait till 9 Sept for a new Firmware to be released. Thanks. notworthy.gif

7 hours overnight with only 3g on battery drain is 0%. This is great . The drain is so low that it is recorded as zero. Again proof stamina mode is amazing
This is second day of using the phone n first time charged to 100% using AC. First day charged using powerrocks 12000mah powerband n phone being used while under charged

Does the shattered sheet is scratch resistant? Because i don't plant to use screen protector. sweat.gif

Btw, so sad Sony didn't use IPS panel. Such a downside for big monster like this. I bet viewing angle must be awful like my previous ZL.  sad.gif

As in XZ the anti shatter film is not scratch proof. I did not bother to even have a SP in my previous XZ. Display perfect on the day after 3 months I sold it.
The XZ was not my main working phone. This time I plan to get a SP as this XZU will be my main phone.

Display is best I have seen to date n I prefer it over HTC1 n S4. There is no viewing angle problem unlike XZ. Only the background tone is slight yellowish as I prefer a bluish tone

Yes but I read warranty will be void. Don't know how true. In the XZ the Sony logo is printedhard the film.
knows whether it is so in this phone?

The film is so well done you can hardly see it unlike the XZ.

I demoed the XZ U & I'm sold.

This is definitely my S3 replacement. Big enough to read manga & ebook, slim enough to fit in my pocket along with my other phones.

I have switched to using Holo Launcher. Very impressed with its smoothness n performance vs Nova my previous favorite in all my other Androids
So I have cleaned up the original default UI. This is how it looks. So Andrewtst is this new or old ?
You don't see Chrome at dock as I have disabled it

Still old, u can see the App Drawer icon is different than advertised.
Battery Icon should be Vertical/Standing, but as you can see here is Horizontal, like X Z / X ZL

This is the pulldown from taskbar. I have added in another row of toggles
So I supposed these icons are the older type too

Hi. When I used the stamina mode I get a msg that says I have to switch off whatsapp for it to work. Is that the case? Thanks.

Hi uncle, did you add in the extra toggle row from a built-in setting or via a widget (Notification Toggle) ?

It is old, as from all your screenshot which show old design.

New design app drawer icon is different, battery icon at status bar is different, the wallpaper is different, the whole settings is in white background not black. Also inside app drawer where you can swipe from left side to access more options. New interface is exact look like leak honami rom.

This looks slimmer than xpz.. Will it be comfortable to hold?
Also the right side i think it earphone port? Its not covered like xpz..meaning can use earphone underwater?
And what is that weird looking on the left side..for dock? So they move the speaker below right? Better than xpz

Quite big but not really interested.. Maybe because i use xpz before..

I don't have yet but going to get one. Don't see any issue holding it.

The earphone port is water proof also even thought they is no more cap on it.

That is charging port which is magnetic type now and will be as standard for Sony future device, Sony will make all future charging dock compatible which means no need keep repurchase it.

I set it from Settings/Personalization/Quick Settings : you will see a listing of up to 15 toggles - but can only choose up to 10 toggles to be displayed

This is how the phone looks in my hand - gigantic ?? NO . Large - yes but I can handle it easily
