battery test from 12pm yesterday to now (1%) with these settings:

- Stamina mode OFF
- Auto-sync ON (Gmail, FB, Twitter, Whatsapp, Outlook)
- myXperia ON
- 30 minutes Real Racing 3 (never seen this game so smooth before on other devices or platforms...hehe)
- Brightness 50%
- Usage: Chrome, Gmail, Whatsapp, Camera (30+ shots), 1 hour GPS

SOT is 4 hour (compared to last test 4 1/2 hours with similar settings but STAMINA ON)

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.

Overall, I think it can lasts me comfortably whole day+ for my average daily usage. So I'm quite happy with the battery life. And I'm very very happy with the huge screen especially while playing games and for GPS (just right for my pockets too!)

ya tried that, nice UI but not very stable and still got glitches here and there

Those that yet to get sp my tip for not scratching your screen is to not wipe it at all temporarily. anti shatter get scratched usually during wiping (you can see tiny lines under light). Anyway, compared to my previous Z, Ultra has a better anti shatter film and remain perfect even after several days use, not so with Z. So dont worry too much if you are gentle until your sp arrived.

Not at all. In fact i read reply from sony regarding this (cant remember which post from xda) the anti-shatter actually improves the sensitivity and 'smoothness' of the touch

Ya. Another improvement I see with the new anti-shatter is its perfect to the edge size than in Z. This solves the horrible dust collection at the edges problem in Z.

ya, trade in stuffs on newspaper are usually BS one hehe

the surface size of ultra so big its better to get a folio/flipcase, more prone to crack the screen than scratching it. with folio case, no need back sp oso.

I like the case because its minimal and provides all edges protection with the tpu base and the nice Xperia Z Ultra words on it. If you go naked, i think the edges are less prone to scratches compared to XZ shiny frame.

no need,just slap the sp on top of the antishatter film, no diff in sensitivity

Epic Citadel is even more epic on ZU. Can reach over 100+ FPS.

I think for average to big size guys shouldn't be a problem for non tight pants..im average size just ngam ngam fit my khaki pants without feeling uncomfortable moving around, like carrying a thin and tall booklet in your pocket. For jeans i just hold it with hand like carrying a slim leather diary (or purse for the ladies). The device is more tall than wide in term of bigness (16:9)..
