So far I would say only audio quality is soft though speakers. And this is main weaknes.  Phone is excellent in all other aspects. Sound is quite similar to stock xperia z...... Hope to see pureX audio tweak as in XZ available soon

How is the battery life?

Maybe Benny can help on this? A preliminary battery life over weekend? smile.gif
Since Benny owned S Mega and Mate, battery life comparison would be very helpful for phablet market

Quick update on Screen on time : Started off at 96% and at 47 % battery usage , I recorded 3 hours . So if projected, reaching 6 hours SOT shouldn't be a problem. The 3 hours usage this morning was on browsing, email, RSS newsfeed, ( all on 3G) , taking photos and an hour video playback

How if compared to Ascend Mate or Mega? I think pretty much the same as Mega.

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

Just collected my Black Unit as well just now from forumer Dannygeni
As expected, beautiful display and design. But Fingerprint magnet
Got the standard casing + clear SP. Casing is surprisingly pretty good

Mine is thorus. Glad that they put the thorus sticker on the charger n warranty card instead of on ultra it self.

For those looking for SP & Case, you can order from Brando HK which deliver with shipping cost USD 3. So far only 1 case available

U can also order from forumer cubixshoppe.
I just ordered mine transparent 'jacket' type casing.

He got 5 different types of casing rclxms.gif Not bad for a newly launch device

Will be longer if I use other browser like Opera because Chrome by default is GPU accelerated for modern markup rendering, thus drain more battery. I will still stick with Chrome because I love the cutting-edge Blink engine in the browser (i'm a web coding geek) and the UI is more tastefully designed compared to other browsers.

Have u tried Next Browser? Its very much similar to Chrome. Feedback frm users seems its either same like chrome or better.

So far have not encountered any crashing issue with my XZU since my 1 week of ownership.

Sometimes could be due to app stability.

I have found that apps such as Proximity Actions can potentially cause your phone to freeze as it messes with the phones hardware functionality, and have experienced it before when tested on my other Android phones.

Same here, i install it after someone recomend here. Since then i faced 2 times 'freeze' for a while.
After uninstal, everything runs smoothly till now.
But....back to using power button sad.gif
Have to admit that app pretty convenient
