Price for non LTE will drop when LTE is available. 

That apply to me at the moment, i will wait, my wallet tell me that many awesome model will come on Q3&Q4 of this year.. hehe

Expected lah! Pricing always cheaper from 3rd party vs Sony Centers
Seems theirs are through Thorus distributor n not directly from Sony Malaysia

Thorus set warranty can be processed at Sony Centers ? I have no experience dealing in warranty for Sony stuffs yet.  If so no difference getting it n at cheaper price

Outdoor photo taken using Superior Auto Mode.

Bright Outdoor photo is awesome! Like it!

* This time I don't see any over post processing issue. I find it actually taken better photo than Z, picture more in details, sharp and vivid.

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.

Yes got blk green orange

You are so right. If i have a XZU, i wont test and submerge it in water unless it is a tangible result proven.

Finally sony.com.my site list Sony Xperia Z Ultra price and as new, no more coming soon.

http://www.sony.com.my/product/xperia+z+ultra

Nothing appear at http://www.sonymobile.com/my/ site yet.

what ?? free ?  , magnet dock or the new SBH52 ??

the dock also expensive 

No choice otherwise we have to keep opening and closing the flap which might spoil it really fast

Seem no more free battery bank from Sony....

Izzit overrated phone?

The Sony 3500mAh bank is very pricey ( mark retail price is RM 199) : seriously anybody want to buy it at such a price ? One is only paying for the brand. For about same amount of money one can get a Yoobao 11200 mAh - and this is a very good powerbank . Has been using it past 2+ years

Can diy for less than RM10 

Congratulate! Done added to owner list.

Phone Size Comparison! haha!

after get the z ultra,I think it will always stay in my bag ~.~ since my pocket can't fit

for me why i still favor my xperia tablet z over z ultra in term of size, 10.1 suited me better for reading. i read a lot of mangas, also with tablet z, i can even view 2 pages in landscape mode easily n it is still sharp. using perfect viewer. so for me tablet is still best at 10.1/or 8-9'' (previous sony tablet s and xperia tablet s is 9.4'' , ipad is 9.7'' ipad mini 8''). more than 5'' - less 7'' is phablet size.

for example

anyone from penang have successfully claim those raya free gives from sony gurney like free case,memory card shirts etc which they bought the set one or 2 days earlier before 1 aurgust?

Those worried about using the power button too often n wearing it off do consider the app gravity screen on.
Just by merely moving the phone slightly it wakes up display plus many other features too. The free version works very well. Donate to developer if you appreciate it n it cost less than us$2.

To those waiting for the LTE version, some rather disturbing news:

expected to cost Rm600-700?

Tryout 2 night shoot yesterday - SCN - Night Portrait - Noise control is ok, but seems a bit too post processing, the details is not sharp enough.

I don't think so. Why don't you try it to assess. Where you got this idea the phone will be waking up while in pocket. You can even set this in the settings

This is the app description :
Description

Using your phone often? Tired of the On-Off switching?
This app turns automatically your screen off when you put your phone into your pocket or onto a table and turn the screen on when you take it out or up. No need to touch any button and you are ready to go.
HOW IT WORKS:
It monitors the orientation of the device through the gravity sensor. When your phone is pointing downward by its top, in a certain angle, it's likely to be out of use. In this situation the proximity sensor is activated to determine if it is covered. If yes, the screen turns off because probably you placed the phone into your pocket or onto a table.
To keep the battery usage low the program turns on the proximity sensor only when it's really necessary. Moreover, when it turns your screen off and the proximity sensor is covered it puts your phone into deep sleep state to save as much energy as possible.
MAIN FEATURES:
- Pocket Sensor: Recognizes if your phone is in your pocket. By turning your phone below the angle you set, it'll prepare to turn the screen off.
- Table Sensor: Detects your phone is lying on a table and turns the screen off.

- Turn Screen On by Motion: If the screen is off and it's facing up the device can be woken up by any movements, for example lift up by hand.
- Keep Screen On by Motion: It's a Screebl like feature but it's relying on the small movements you are doing by your hand while holding the phone. If small motions are detected while the screen is facing up the feature keeps the screen on because it can be suspected that the phone is held and probably you are reading something long. If the phone is steady the normal screen timeout will apply in any position you leave your device.
- Tasker, Llama, Locale supported by plug-in.

Your shots has better light in background than mine. This an example of my shot ( taken in my garden) with the light source from street lamp about 40+ feet away

to avoid unnecesary "show" at the shop

What casing u guys getting? Got pic?

The Gravity Screen Apps drain battery quite heavily. Been using the hp like normal for few hours after installation and it turned out to be in Rank 2 consuming 12% of the battery .... higher than Voice Call 11 % , Android OS 9%, Android System 5%....... Screen 48%
