Sony boss say that there's no flash because they want to make thin phone.

Let's see if the honami is as thin and has a better camera and is smaller and has a led flash..........

This is really a nice and decent phone @.@ how much does it cost?

Few things to say on this XZU after a day usage..

1. Screen is good, but I prefer HTC one display (strictly personal preference, not due which latest tech what not,  I just think HTC one display suites to my eyes)

4. User experience. Don't flame me, I expect more of the snapdragon  800, provided it's the latest proc and clocked much higher. Anyone else agree with me if I say that HTC One smoother than this?  I insists that it is. Maybe it's the UI.. Well for normal user maybe the slight bumpy or hiccup on the UI is negligible, for I guess for most tech savvy it is quite apparent. (oh wait maybe it's just the UI designed that way? But multitasking and running apps is just a breeze tho)

6. Camera is not the best. Well now I think, HTC one camera is not that bad after all despite of the 4mp. Maybe most ppl were just expected miracle out of the ultrapixel thus some noise about the camera. At a glance, normal shot at normal daylight conditions using this XZU and HTC One camera, they are just comparable  in particular, in low light HO definitely won, take this from a non camera savvy person.. Lol
7. Speaker is exceptionally soft.
8. Conclusion. Anyhow, XZU still excites me. Large display is a breeze. Yet to use it on office days, when usually the real potential shows up when I start dealing with office stuff, emails, documents, Dropbox, diaries and calendars.

That's all for now.. Hope this would help readers who seek information to help them decide either to jump on the bandwagon.

For such a big screen I guess it needs all the hardware it can use, I notice not lag but more of jerkiness when you scroll left and right between pages. Perhaps it is the Sony UI which interferes with it's smoothness.

I'm also a HTC one user contemplating whether to trade in my device or use the Sony xzu as a 2nd device. I can't notice the same jerkiness when scrolling between pages from sense 5, making the only reason for upgrade is the bigger screen to replace my tablet.

Ya exactly, maybe lag is a wrong word, jerkiness is what I mean.. Or hiccups.

Dunno for what purpose u use a tablet, but I think this is a bit too small for a tablet instead.. It is a phone lah.. Hehe

I carry 2 phones all the time , iP5 and XZU, for me Flash doesn't bother me at all.

All i want is One Phone is big Screen >6" and lighter like XZU...the only cons i found on this device is Lag of LTE..

LED flash and LTE is actually a huge setback for RM2299 phone. At this price, both feature should be present because mid end phone like Mega have this two feature. For a person with Mega, it'll be a partial downgrade.

Maybe XZU LTE version may never come to Malaysia

this debate...still this debate...u see.. thr's a reason why Sony decided not to put LED flash... do u hav any idea of the slimness of the phone? letme tell u..
the slimness of the phone make the phone manageable for 1 handed operation and the slimness srsly helps alot..
why do i say so..cuz i had jz apply rubber phone cover which had jz add a tiny bit of thickness to my phone..and trust me..when i say..its not like ultra anymore...it lost is slimness sexyness its operation all is afected jz by dat phone cover..
once matt anti scratch Sp comes..im gona strip my beast naked..
about LTE..u jz wait..be patience~

i folo this thread for 3 version..jz stop debating about the LED..==
jz STOP... buy iBlazr....... if u want.........

I'd say for most practical purposes, the LED flash is a non-issue since you shouldn't be taking any flash shots with a cameraphone in the dark anyway. If it's a night shot, perhaps something like a colorful place like Marina Bay or Shanghai's Bund will be feasible and WITHOUT flash. I took some nice pics with the Note 2 in Shanghai with no flash at all.

I agree on the LTE issue though. So as quite a number have speculated, the XZU 3G is probably a rush job. And screw the slimness for leaving out a flash and larger battery.

Flash might help when you want to take photo against bright background. And flash can do few photography tricks. And of course, can used as flashlight.

But it's not an important issue. But it's nonetheless a partial downgrade.
Haha, ok bro. Someone say Sony left out flash due to cost. I just to try to correct him.
