Correct bro. When I bought the 3G Octa Core S4 when it first released, I thought, shit man, this is gonna be the fastest phone in the world and all that and then, it started lagging bit by bit. Then I found out the switching of the 4 processors to the other 4 makes the phone lag. The S4 was a total disappointment for me as I've always been Samsung. That's why now, I jump ship to Sony forawhile.

Even the Note III supposedly has 2 variants, one with Snapdragon, another with Octa. If the Octa is going to be released in Malaysia first, XZU will still be the reigning king of phablet territory. If you factor in the size, it will be king for a LONG time more. brows.gif

i read somewhere that samsung purposely let the processors run faster for benchmarking.. but slower for normal usage.

You can have the fastest 10GHz processor in the world, but usage wise can still lag if the software is poorly optimized.

design wise it's undeniable that samsung always very conservative and doesn't deviate too far from the predecessor. but it isn't necessary a bad thing since they want to retain the swappable battery. but for people who doesn't place a heavy emphasis on design and look of a device, Samsung is definitely King~!

Read news some time back that said Note IV onwards will use all-metal case. Samsung wanted to use metal case for Note III after HTC shocked the market with their HTC One awesome design, but too late for Samsung to do redesign for this round.

yeah i have to agree its kinda boring, but the thing is if you guys are gonna cover up the xperia z ultra with case anyways no one can see the svelte figure of the phone. all 6.5mm of it  tongue.gif

That is if your intention is for showing off. tongue.gif

For me, I'm using XZU with case now for added protection because due to the large size of the XZU, it feels like the phone may drop easily. laugh.gif

Nowadays, people only mind Samsung

Samsung is really good at marketing. If only Sony would do the same but I guess not since their company not really making money as a whole.

Hmmm.. I not sure wanna get yet or not. Current case cannot use it, and I not really keen to modified myself as I love perfection, if the modified is not perfect, soon or later sure I will throw away the case.

Probably the upcoming leather flip case by Sony will fit the dock perfectly and most likely will come when the LTE XZU is launched.

My magnetic cable can charge the phone while is inside the Melko flipcase but not when put in the Niilkin backcase.
I had never like the dock and will never cut further my cases to fit it in
*
So the Melko flipcase can fit the magnetic cable perfectly without any mod? Awesome.

Sorry Uncle, I remember you said you ordered the Melko online. Mind telling which online store again? Or a link? Thanks!

When I press on the screen to focus, my xzu tend to hang there while not capturing anything.

Stock Camera app vs Lenovo Camera app - in low light situation.

Lenovo Camera better control in noise and much sharpen in details.

Thanks for sharing bro! Just downloaded and tested.
It is indeed better even interface wise. biggrin.gif

Confirm the 'Effects' Setting in the app can't work? I tried adjust EV a bit and seems to be working though, but not sure about other effects like contrast, saturation, etc.
