Actually fingerprint is not a new technology, long ago appear in Japan country phone.

But Apple nicely build under that solid build Home button.

exactly my point. and their 64bt processor is still work in progress...

I think all Sony phone got that "shit" plastic.

in some ways, i agree with u

IOS is the OS for iphone only. no other manufacturer can use it. So, Apple can design it all the way it wants it to be. and thus many functions and feature are locked, or you have to use the way it is... this was, Apple can sort of ensure the stability of the IOS, cos everything is pre-fixed in IOS. User only need to switch on their Iphone, minimal settings, and that's it. user have to follow the way IOS was designed. i don't think u can even add any shortcuts onto the desktop/homescreen. thus, cstomization on IOS will be, of course limited when compared to Android.

Android works diff from IOS. it's meant to be open to all manufacturer, offering more customization. that's y every manufacturer have their own skin over android. by giving more customization, stability are in sometimes sacrificed and require more processing power to run it smoothly.

so, it's all about what user want of their phone. straightforward with minimum customization/settings? or customization power of your own device?

But I can't believe Z1 dare to price at this amount.
Currently in Malaysia, still samsung get most of the market, I though they should lower a bit to capture the market first.
Until now, most of ppl still though that samsung the best and they still though sony reach that level yet.

china phone hard to market at malaysia, people prefer branded one.

haha, it is will explode.
indeed china phone is cheaper, good thing about branded is better support.
