+1 yeah, what written in the spec when u bought it is what you get.. anyhow, its the marketing strategy that they will add new feature in the next product, so if want new feature, wait for next product release.. but for me, 4k video recording will not be useful to me perhaps in another 5 years. even now, i couldn't recall if i ever take serious video with my phone, unless if i attend some wedding ceremony something, but just leisure one la.. well ones need will be different from others.. for me i use a smartphone mainly for telephony, internet, a bit games, social, organizer. the later one the most important. for camera as well, i use for leisure only.. i just need a camera that can shoot an image that i will not be disappointed of to look at, thats it. for this reason, i love iphone camera the most. i don't want pening2 set here and there, i just want to shoot and save.

Anyone know the estimate price for sbh52 headset? Wan to compare with sbh50

alexng2208 voila

It's all about planned obsolescence. Note3 will probably get a 0.2" upgrade to 5.9" after "listening" to customers

You mean, Note 3 will be upgraded to 5.99" through firmware?

Aiya!

Why argue on 4K video record. It is an extra features but I doubt you gonna use it, even if I get Note 3, then I also not going really to use it.

4K video for fun is ok, but not for often use.

4K video is crazy big! how many microSD card you gonna switch if record in 4K?

A 5 mins 4K video already around 500MB to 900MB (depends on bit-rate pick).

wrong thread.

High possible appear in Note 4 next year.

I'm so sorry TS

Let's continue talking XZU.

I just saw big XZU advertisement near Georgetown, where I stay. Awesome advert.

if our hero says its possible, then its possible. maybe 5.99 can be upgraded from existing note 3 by scrapping off the top and bottom bezels.

according to our best friend, everything can be upgraded, its only codec if you want 5.99 screen

i'm not TS la..

opss sorry... see wrong person... haha

Just got myself an XZU LTE at singapore here.

Add me in TS

Black XZU !

Haha! lol...

UltraHD is welcome format, but record using mobile phone is under for fun now ... due to capacity.

Yeah! in this case, the device really is made by Alien already.

If you prefer to debate on this, mind give me your sources saying that 4K support requires more than just a firmware tweak on the supported chipset? need a dedicated image processing chip also like HTC One's UltraPixel camera?

I am giving example on which features are constrained by more than just chipset support. I am (again) saying that it is possible to enable the 4K video capture on the device by tweaking something in the firmware but you just don't understand it. I don't mean that we have the tweaks ready, but instead I'm saying that it is possible because once the chipset supports the feature and there's no other hardware requirement for capturing the video at 4K that ZU lacks of (unless you got source say "note 3 able to capture 4K video because of S800 paired with xxx hardware/yyy Android version which made it possible").

As you might have known, the photos taken from the camera got better in the current firmware than the firmware it is originally shipped with. Image processing is software algorithm, sensors are just receiver. The manufacturer will decide what to give in the firmware because they have various reasons like who would need 4K video capture feature, do they have the codec to bring the update, will it affect firmware stability, etc. but doesn't mean u can't customize the features with custom roms if u have the knowledge to do so.

my view is strictly as an opinion saying that the feature is possible and can be made available into the phone with the right tweaking on firmware level. and u peeps takes opinions way too seriously.

I think the freebies promo is over. Currently only have PWP.

Finally got it! LTE set at sg =D

Btw... That my phone just had a 2nd SOD.
I didn't mess with the optimised backlight.

Test shot


Attached thumbnail(s)

nice. Got blue and purple.

Means SOD is hardware issue?

Done added to owner list.

Done added as well. Congratulate be the 1st Purple Z Ultra Owner!
