Sad....I dropped my phone on the road side when I open my car door. I usually put my phone on the side compartment of the driver seat door. I got no experience drop my phone from there while I'm using HTC one x. But this giant baby is different story. It actually lost balance because of too big. Tear drop on my Z Ultra.  T.T
Don't know whether can replace case from Sony or not.
Any advice from you guys?
*
So poor, that why I always encourage people use case. By the way, the easier way to cover it is using case now.

I thought you encourage people to use the phone naked???

Since when I encourage people use phone naked? I only said I dislike and damn hate screen protector but I never encourage people using it without any case.

I always use flip case.

not wanting to burst the bubble but it seems that the inside doesn't have a rubber or something pad against the body of the phone, which could scratch the phone upon insertion / locking the device in (like metal cases for note 2 which do not have the rubber pads will scratch the bezel)
*
Exactly, metal cases will badly scratch it due to it is hard & sharp.

After 2 weeks of usage compared with my previous experience with Note 2

Few let downs :

1. Just tried writing with pencil. Its no where close to Note 2. Hope its more than just a gimmick. Looking fwd for final firmware.

2. I really dont understand why from xperia arc to xperia zl to to z ultra i still think samsungs camera still better?

* Its too flat that sometimes find it hard to lift it up from table. Hehe

So far its considered as the best 6" up phablet because lack.of competition other than mega 6.3

Maybe most people are sick of Samsung design so xzu stands out.
I believe xzu 2 would be a near perfect device. Hehe
*

Samsung camera do is better, Samsung using Sony sensor but Samsung did much better in post processing the output. Actually I had no idea what happen to Sony group doing post processing part, not only mobile phone, even Sony own camera sensor use in Nikon DSLR can produce far better output than Sony own DSLT.

The slim body is well suite for me, as I always use flip case and I find it just nice. smile.gif

I faced a bug. When I charged to 100%, I use awhile,it drop to 99% (charge haven't remove yet) then later it go back 100%

This is not a bugs, this is Sony phone behavior. It is same in my previous Xperia Z and also my Xperia Tablet Z.

Sony phone not really charging when you playing the phone. Maybe for safety reason.

Shall said it not charge proper, when you touching playing the phone. That why you see the percentage dropping and increasing and dropping cycle.

For those that want Show Off capability of Xperia Z Ultra power of Snapdragon 800.

Download this 4k video - TimeScapes Trailer! - http://red.cachefly.net/TimeScapes4K2560p.mp4

Even my current PC (few years ago) cannot proper playback, but it run seemlessly fine in MX Player.

Above video required MX Player as bundle Video app cannot playback probably due to codec not support.

Nowadays I applaud Samsung in their customer service efforts, with more and more service centres being set up. I would say they are perhaps even on par with Apple's level now in terms of geographical service coverage.
Thanks for the quick review of .475. Glad to know the screen click errors have been reduced. Perhaps will upgrade it today!
Any idea how much is it for the pre-order? Might get a friend in SG to help purchase for me.

Most people always look at the XZU and marvel at the screen, size and thinness.

But normally people fail to realize that there is a BEAST under the hood.

Nothing comes close to the XZU in terms of speed now as it is the ONLY phone with Snapdragon 800 that is launched in the market!

Oh, you haven't update to .475, go updates, it worth the updates. smile.gif

Ya, this beast is really a beast.

That timescapes video I only manage to play in my ex-tablet - Nexus 10, but not as smooth as I play in this Xperia Z Ultra.

It skip frame badly on Xperia Z and Tablet Z, and it actually consider not playable in my old Intel Centrino 2 with Nvidia Geforce G 105M laptop.

Have you tried VLC player to play this video with your PC? I highly doubt phone is more powerful than laptop.  laugh.gif

VLC Player for PC can play but crazy lag.

QUOTE(benny888 @ Aug 21 2013, 01:05 PM)
Default movie app can play this video too. Not necessarily must use mxplayer.  I have also tested it with dice,  vplayer,  and bsplayer too n all can play it without issues
*
I try default Video app, it keep loading loading loading, quite long loading, so I skip it. MX Player immediate play.

Edit: I try re-play, this time can play. But when stop, my phone auto restart. So... is still better let MX Player handle it. In between, I am running latest Video app that just push out for others 2013 Xperia phone, manual install by getting the apk online.

In some cases the phone is more powerful especially when they have custom functions in the SoC for video decoding and/or 3d performance.

Only discrete gpus in notebooks or PCs can be more powerful.

My laptop got Nvidia inside but probably too old already to handle 4k video. Haha!

This one is even much higher resolution than TimeScapes.

This one is 3840x2160 resolution where TimeScapes only 2560x1440 resolution.

Also playing under H/W+ mode at MX Player. smile.gif
