The video demos are good but in reality it sucks. And if you look deeply into those videos it just shows writing few words only. I have said before if one try do some extensive note writing on it I guaranteed user will tear his hair n throw the phone against the wall!!!

And also Sony's adv for XZU " The only Full HD Waterproof smartphone " was also very misleading as there are others beside it and even launched b4 XZU was announced . Beside pencil , not all stylus works for XZU , the tip to be a specific size , think it's 4mm or wider , something like that . . And if u write fast , unlike Note2 , it cant recognize what you are trying to write .
If u r not a stylus user and want it for the big screen , it's worth a try as battery life is acceptable for a screen that size . If u want it to replace your Note2 for the stylus input , u will be very disappointed .

+1

LOL ....." Tear his hair n throw the phone against the wall " , I like that remark uncle

I do fully utilise the S pen on my Note 2. In conditions where typing is inconvenient.

However a desktop sized QWERTY keyboard will be my top preference. Since I do type faster than I write even on paper.


Indeed. Very, very misleading. I've tried it that day with a Parker pen and it didn't work.

Yep. If you're comprehending the term "Full HD" as 1980 x 1080, probably they are misleading consumers. I guess Full HD is a phrase to describe a screen being very clear.

As for waterproof, even the Samsung S4 Active is taking in water damaged sets for replacements. Very misleading indeed for both Sony and Samsung.

That day me and my friend tried the XZU with our S pens, both Note 1 and Note 2 spen failed. As mentioned above, ball point pens didn't work either. Over at /k/, kampung2005 managed to write something with the pencil and had positive response from him.

Screen time. Acceptable, but no godlike right ?

I managed to get only one ballpen out of 14 I have ( all inkless) to work with the XZU. Infact I m using it extensively with it replacing my finger. It works equally well as a pencil.
SOT consistently 6+ hours with 3g using 80% of time. Very happy with battery life can easily match Note2

Here full QWERTY bluetooth keyboard.



My take on "waterproof" devices are that it's just an insurance against spillage and accidental quick (less than 30s) dunking. It should not be license to bring it to a pool or bathtub snaps unless you're really into that sort of stuff (perhaps alexng2208 will be familiar with that sort of thing )

And about "marketing gimmick" ......

That's really the problem isn't it - people don't think for themselves, they rely on talking heads on Fox News or MSNBC (or even G+) to convince them what to think. There is no substitution for critical thinking and independent research


XZU's screen is an incremental improvement on the standard capacitive screen, that is why the Note stylus cannot be used on the XZU's or any other screens.

Active digitizers are still the best digitizer technology for now, since it can differentiate between your body's resistance vs the electronics in the stylus.

Search for a trader in garage sales , mobilogi . He's selling a fodable bt keyboard which opens up to normal keyboard size . Pairable with Android and no , screen time is acceptable considering batt capacity n screen size , have yet 2 reach godlike

This is an act of PROTECTIONISM, US wants to protect their own product.. unfair
boycott all US products.
+HTC , +Samsung Mobile , +Sony +LG Electronics +Nokia +ASUS etc. you need a very strong alliance against +Apple monster attack
i wanna see how apple's iSheep can collapse at ASIA markets

isheep will probably become samsungfags coz they follow the marketing. .. however the lawsuit has merit due to a different class of law where this is concerned.

Ex isheep samsungfags will probably be as annoying as isheep...which gives samsung a bad name. Unfortunately that's what happens when people simply follow marketing.

i see

If only the screen size is not that big, I would have bought the XZU last week. I'm impressed with the screen and the waterproof capability. Can bring to bathtub and relax.

Euro 200 is a subsidy from company to buy new phone and I recently received a recognition of Euro 200 which can be used to buy anything. That makes up Euro 400 which is quite a lot.

400 euros. Rm2k....

Just close your eyes and buy any phone la kakak.

XZU is pushing the limits and since u don't use handbags it will never fit in your pockets

If I never experienced the joys of active digitizer stylus use I would have gotten the xzu. I will hold out a bit for note 3

alexng2208

later slipped at bath tub ? den can use perma la ?

Eh, around RM 1.6k nia. Euro is not that good rate la.
I don't know why but after the failure of S4, I'm not so keen with Samsung anymore.

Can la. The waterproof feature is very good. I have friend who does that for his Tablet Z and Xperia Z.
I'm using it at bathtub not swimming pool, how deep can it be?

Thanks for providing me your experience. 6 hours for that screen size is already good enough

Now i'm waiting for Note 3 to be announced.

Americans... Typical Americans....

*I don't usually generalise, but when I do.....

I forgot to mention I only use Mechanical keyboards

why S4 fail? [heard by someone say]
1. too many variant...
S4 3G + S4 4G > Active> Zoom > LTE-A >den next is S4 what?
make consumers very confuse and hard to decide to bought
2. Samsung Exynos Close the SOS of kernel... (don't know why?)
3.a bit like "Kia Su" styles...
4.Tons of bloatware..[even my S4 LTE get 4 days after... damn annoyed about the lagginess and root-ED it and flash GE rom... ]

that's all

and i tried my friend's XZU and put it tupperware and goncang... still can use

Yes thanks I posted a few hours earlier. Good tool.

You can try with a friend's sim and if that works it's likely your sim. If not then it's the sim module.

trying too hard samsung

Anyway i tested the sun global for samsung galaxy S plus the battery last longer than original.

This means you have a kadang kadang boleh unit. Good for you.
