BIG speaker , great

anyone got the invitation to attend the launching next week?

Nope .
You two are new to sony .

Look at arc / arc S

xperia S / SL . Sony didnt change to whatever trend you are talking about . They had been doing it for years .

Nice phone. But there are few problems that Sony needs to address like

1. Flaps covering micro-usb port and headphone jack. It's a nuisance to remove it everytime wanna charge and over time, the wear and tear effect will loosen it and the phone is susceptible to water. They can eliminate the flaps on z ultra, so i think about time they will produce a totally water proof phone.

2. Some users xperia Z complained that the glass glued to the back panel has become defective due to overheating and water can get into the phone. Damage is imminent
All of this flaws are only architecture mistakes.
I believe over time, they' ll perfected this. And we may finally get our perfect water proof phone. Although im now only using the inferior V, i totally like how Sony has done so much innovation

I'm not sure if this officially qualifies as omnibalance, but to me it does have the omnibalance design langauge from Xperia Z. This is the low-end device, Xperia M.

I actually preferred this type of LED notification more than the honami's one.

lol... don't bring irrelated Honami phone leh..

unfortunately some scratches are visible...this only means tht honami needs a case too...

Yaya, haha!

Z1 look awesome actually!

looks great, should we do "liquipel" to water-repel the phone?

yolol...
Sony really poisoning my mind now..
later apple jelly..

1. where in the world that ultra have flaps eliminated in the design. Andrewtst This phone as well a the z and z ultra have dock charging ports that is exposed minimizing the wear and tear of the flaps

2. The glue as well as those self crack issue i would put it down as physical flaw. There are 2-3 different supplies of the display, thus, there might be some minor variance between them. No proper data collection of the types of display and the location of the user (seasonal vs tropical) to really confirm it as a issue with design

Let me rephrase my post just for u.

"@diesterntaler; eh, no la. got 1 low end xperia got omnibalance, which is xperia m
honami's LED notification is on top, I wish it was like xperia m one"

related enough? same meaning different word.

moving on interesting on this one. Getting racun me

See if November or December price around RM18XX I will consider

oh.. okok...

i think he means the flap for headphones jack is gone on the ZU. and every sony waterproof phone has a dock for charging. it just the dock it self is too overpriced to be useful. but i hear can always go to sony pay 50bucks and get the flap fix.

but from the preview video it looks different?

seems like the jack isnt covered with any ports?

Yes it isn't covered just like Xperia Z Ultra
