Haha, this is a good one. It's like asking a car salesman to test the airbags in the car to see whether they are working properly.

Not sure about the two owners but I, sure as hell, will not do this test on purpose

if you put on 3rd party screen protector, still wise to try out it's "water-proof"ness?

Precisely...who can be sure that leakage or human error will not happen. Who is going to responsible for such...I don't think Sony outlet will conduct this test for you as well provide they do have a demo set to do it...

Guys just wondering any of you dirty the phone enough to warrant a thorough washing with soapy water? Any of you z/zu owners tried washing the device? What's the point of a waterproof phone if you can't wash it right? Especially for old people with cleanliness issues. After all smartphone is one of the dirtiest object we used day in day out with all the invisible germs on it.

if u got turned auto-sync, data on, i think stamina mode hardly to work well.. coz auto sync will running on background from time to time..

turn off auto-sync, and whitelist.. i can say overnight 8hours, hardly to see battery drop 2%..

Yes, turn off auto sync but data can always be on ( mine is always on 24 hours) . Whitelist : I only have one app - Whatsapp. Under these situation, it still works very well. My previous Xperia Z , I always see only 0-1 % battery drop over 7-9 hours consistently
Similarly for this Xperia ZU phone

No problem washing it - I did that so many times on my XZ under running tap. So far washed my XZU and Tablet Xperia Z once only
But I have never test submerging it in water

ya.. the most efficient setting to save battery.. really good..

but me always turned on auto sync, maxis data, GPS, so turned on stamina mode or not just same for me.. so i didnt use stamina mode on my ZL.. but those user use without data plan, only wifi one then can turned on this stamina mode.. it's will act like iPad deep sleep..

That mean you will not get push gmail since you turh off data sync in stamina mode?

Correct.. Personally didnt active stamina mode.. Coz I feel without stamina mode still can last for 1 day cycle.. With sot 3 hours.. Quite sufficient for me..

I don't use Gmail. I recieved mainly spam stuffs on this mail account. Any Gmail you will recieved notifications immediately once you on the display. But I still will get notifications and mail push in on my other mail app : MailDroid - my Yahoo, TM mail, Outlook

Phone size comparison! haha!

Sony Xperia Z Ultra (6.44") v/s Samsung Galaxy S III (4.8") v/s Samsung Galaxy S II (4.3") v/s Samsung UltraTOUCH (2.8")

9 September, Berlin IFA event
29 september officially launch sold

Finally, stock come today... got FREE a Ori flip case

just updated mine

if im using this phone as my one and only, turning auto sync just doesnt work because then i have to sync gmail manually to get incoming mails, any other email client i should use that i can turn off auto sync and be able to check for incoming mail automatically at 2 hours interval?

ok i just washed it as well. that's the whole point of having a waterproof phone in the first place.

exactly, no point if we want to receive incoming notifications from whatsapp, Line, wechat etc....

the shatter film is really bad, the back of my phone i can see a few hairline scratch appears... and trust me i am very careful with my phone during this few days of owning it.

New firmware? it is using latest launcher already?

The ori flip case

Saw these videos ( showing free writing cum sketching ) which was not available in present firmware

Hmm i dont think so.. what's the different eh?
