nice. Got blue and purple.
Means SOD is hardware issue?

Possible is SW not HW.

That Purple is Z and that Blueish Purple is Z Ultra.

doh.gif Ok slip of tongue.... Note 3 will become 5.99" when it iterates to Note 4 tongue.gif


QUOTE(thatisazam @ Sep 6 2013, 03:14 PM)
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.

Bro, see my post about this just now

IF they requisite switches are there, then FW can enable it. If not, then please get your soldering iron ready.

thanks for the kind response, this is exactly the information needed for a smart discussion. I hope iFixIt can do a device teardown on Z Ultra to clarify the matter.

The sound when it hit the floor, bammm! I was sure that it cracked.. Right away teared out the screen protector, but I was surprised.. Just yesterday talking about how fragile this phone is.. sweat.gif maybe because it hit flat back down.. If it hit side way, I think of course will crack..

Maybe it's some kind of taboo, because new phone launched, my money want to go out of pocket. doh.gif :

I will be extra careful after this

QUOTE(upmost systems @ Sep 6 2013, 01:59 PM)
the margin much higher than samsung
*
The margin Is lower as they produce less XZU.
The Display already a very expensive thing. This is not a new technology but a 2 years old tech.
It just not apply in phone because toooo expensive.
Technology advance to bring down the price but still expensive.
That why i say XZU have a low profit margin.
Is more like advertising SONY brand using the phone.
Without XZU huge screen madness, who will give the shit to know about Sony Smartphone.

QUOTE(gin&tonic @ Sep 6 2013, 02:02 PM)
I would agree. Samsung more popular & easier to sell hence margin shud be lower than others.  smile.gif
*
Yes.


QUOTE(un_id @ Sep 6 2013, 02:06 PM)
you guys mean, for a dealer, you buy samsung phones more expensive? i mean, let say, if both latest Sony and Samsung smartphone RRP is RM2199, so dealer purchase the Sony one cheaper than Samsung one? hence Sony one profit margin is higher?

i thought samsung phones are cheaper at costs.. and normally Sony products are expensive, looking at their laptop, TVs etc..
*
Normally yes, they sell higher price to get higher profit margin but can't do at smartphone.
Else no people will buy if XZU cost rm4k right?

I have lost count the number of times I have drop my phone slipping out from my shirt pocket. No damages at all as is well protected in my Melko flipcase. If i used those Niilkin or Sony flipcase guaranteed the flap will open up n phone will hit floor on its surfaces. But all the drops not high as mainly due to bending down
