Andrew you are an IT guy...there is a difference between 586A and 586B cable termination isn't there even though it's all Cat5.

About this 4k recording thing. Chipping in neutrally. Although s800 supports it I believe u need some components to tell the s800 that "OK we can do 4k recording" and then the firmware also has to allow it.

It probably needs some resistors and a small control chip for this. Who wants to crack their unit open for r&d?

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

If ure a stylist person,  who like to do everything with finger,  pen or pencil on a huge screen, like to play games on smartphone and has ur own personality,  go for xperia z ultra.

If ure the type of person who like to use a special design spen which only designed for note 3 only and like to follow trend.  Go for note 3. Ur choice.  whistling.gif

I thought being "trendy" is a focus on fashion, of which the XZU obviously has loads of.

I'd qualify pen or pencil use on the XZU as gimmicky at best.

Why would u say yr ram is struggling? Ram is just space for apps to run. Low free ram means either lots of running apps or good memory utilization by the os. Lots of free ram is not entirely desirable in a modern os.

The sheet on the screen seems to be laminated on the screen, and it takes some force to remove. I suspect the bare screen may not as strong as standard Gorilla glass.

After removal there is no functional impediment to your device use, just that for some weird reason your warranty is gone.

I would venture to say that I rarely hear of people having phones spoiled from rainsoak (at least in MY). It seems that with the advent of so called "waterproof" devices, people have started adopting a more callous attitude towards care of their devices, thus leading to increased incidents of water damage.

I've seen more of people dropping their phones in the SEA (ffs, don't go to the beach without protection), in buckets, rivers and accidental spills.

Whatever the case, water and electronics never mix. Waterproof phones should merely be treated as an insurance policy rather than tempt fate with callous use.

Actually yea. The leatherback thingy from Samsung was for me a no brainer. I don't really like the look of it. I would have been happy if it was still made out of that durable unsnapable plastic. What to do? Times have change, people want premium feel. But I'm not really sure about the White leatherback as White leather easily kena dirt. Haizzz. I wanna get the White one, let's see after 2 of my friends buy.
*
It seems that it's textured plastic molding, not faux leather laminated on. So it will still be durable, and I believe you could remove the cover and wash THE COVER (not the phone!) if you are inclined to do so.

REALLLLYYYYY?????? I am not an avid follower of this thread yet I still know that the shatter proof sheet is factory laminated.

QUOTE(yupio @ Sep 12 2013, 05:28 PM)
But yeah...better still if totally do away with factory shatterproof sheet. Safe the hassle of removing it / replacing it.

It also gives the wrong impression to people coz many thinks its supposed to be screen protector and SP are supposed to be scratch proof but this  doh.gif
*
My 2 sen is that the Sony glass is fragile and not Gorilla quality. They need this sheet to reinforce the glass and also act as a film to stop the glass shards from flying all over WHEN your screen shatters. This is like the Llumar anti shatter films or any other tint film on your windscreen.

That's why they call it the "shatterproof" sheet.

Factory laminated shatterproof film is understandable but to be told to replace the whole screen just to replace the film is ridiculous. They should've made the screen with something like gorilla glass in the first place then and do away with the crappy film.

Thing is, I still want the XZU reason being its the only commendable spec 6~7" screen phablet out there. Overall design wise, its still cool from the thin and light profile, aluminium bezel. It's like I don't have any other comparable alternative out there.  sweat.gif
*
You are right, there isn't anything larger than 6" that beats the XZU. However its size is both a blessing and a curse. No male has yet been able to pocket this properly and sit down without resorting to cargo pants or taking it out of the pocket.
