Bro just bought it new or trade with old phone? Anyway i heard that the battery life is average only, full charge could last you 1 whole day with moderate usage.

Thinking to get 1 too.

Just wow. How old are your phone btw? Is it getting better by time?

Maxis package for Z1 bro? not interested?

What color on your mind bro? I think i gonna pick the red one... wonder if it is available in Malaysia

Bro, do you know whether red color ZL available in Malaysia, ori set?

Got my ZL few hours ago. Black colour(at first aiming for red). I just fall in love with it. It's so sexy, the size is just nice and I feel like I used it for a long time. It blends with me well. The battery kinda make me worry though, maybe let it have more charge cycle to judge it.

My only problem is I can't find a good back case for it, i prefer silicone or rubber case that cover all back area instead of hard cases. Hope you guys can recommend me some.

I search red ZL at most of the shop around Klang Valley and most of them said "waa that one like finding Dinosaur you know". But, SonyCentreJB got the stock. They do postage or you can buy it from their shop.

I got free Chery silicone case when i bought the phone, but the quality is a let down for me. Using UAG, CASEMATE, Spigen SGP before for my Note 2 & S4 make me feel the need of high quality casing. But sadly they are not available for ZL.

One more thing, I got the phone last night, so play with the setup, syncing and downloading apps. This morning only able to make a call and i found out the sound i quite soft even at max volume. Compared to my previous phone. Do you have this problme bro?

I got one Chery silicone case but I think for such a beauty phone, it would be great to use a proper case such as casemate or incipio. But then they are not available here. So sad.

Yes, diamond SP is the clear version of screen protector plus the bling2 and shining thing. Some people said it make the screen look gorgeous when it is off. For me it ruins everything. The best screen protector is Ultra Crystal(clear) or no screen protector. Matte or diamond just ruins the beauty of the screen.

Actually there is 1 dedicated thread for ZR but I think that thread also is inactive. You might get better opinions there. This is the link for the thread. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...98&hl=xperia+zr


Okay, I don't own ZR but I had play with my firend ZR many times before. It is a good phone for those who need smaller screen factor as you know most of flagship Android device now comes with 5' inch screen minimum. Coming from an iPhone, you wouldn't feel much different in size. About the waterproof things, my friend never test. I can't guarantee this as personal experience but there are some reviews in youtube that you can refer to. Link below.

As for the charging part, i believe you are asking about charging dock. YES you dont have to open the usb port if you use this charging dock. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/produc...ging-dock-dk28/

Actually, both of this phones are great. I will list out some details and my personal opinions so that you can choose between this two.

Sony Xperia ZL - better screen resolution 1080 x 1980 FULL HD (which is important to me) compared to 720 x 1280 of ZR, 5 inch display which is great as I am using the phone for the same reason as yours(social, average camera usage, light and moderate gaming, walkman).

Sony Xperia ZR - waterproof(which I dont need), smaller size factor(some will like it, some will not, for me 5 inch of ZL is still ok).


You will notice that ZR is a newer phone which released in may 2013 while ZL is a bit older released in march 2013 but in specs wise, both are having the same hardware except for better screen resolution for ZL and waterproof for ZR. And you need to see the real unit for yourself. ZL is a beauty, small bezel and feel better in the hand. I even rate ZL higher than Z because of this + dedicated camera button.

Yes I'm biased towards ZL because i owned it, but seriously bro, see this picture also can make decision :



Looks is important to me.

No problem bro. Actually ZR is the downgraded version of Z because Z was released earlier. And Z1(newest flagship) is the upgraded version of Z. You can get AP unit of Z for RM1.5K and RM1.7K for ori unit, not sure about the ZR though as the RRP is higher than ZL. The dock price as stated by Wind.

give me the imak case 1....

i thought u got some extra with u...

Can share all settings of normal mode? Like ISO, image stabilisation and others..

Give it some time bro, actually im also quite disappointed with battery life. I got my unit 2days ago all are excellent except for battery life. Maybe i give it some charging cycle, try to off some google service or just flash some custom rom to see how the battery life differ.

Thanks bro, but when I disable google+ it automatically uninstalled the app. And i cant found any app named "devices" in setting > Apps> all

lol done, previously i was disabling the apps at Apps > dowloaded not Apps > all...

Thank bro, any other tips for better battery life?

Bro i try to follow you by disabling the apps, but instead of getting the apps write 'disable' at the right side, my disable apps straight gone(not visible). Is there any setting for this?

any recommendation on best battery status/monitor apps?

I fully charged my ZL at 6pm. 100percent. Right now my battery is 75percent with minimal usage. Nash, whose is worst??? I am so annoyed. 5percent drop in 5 minutes when I browse LYN

Chrome. Never use other browsers although previous phone always use dolphin. 1 more thing just now new problem when at some area there were no Internet connection, the phone will not connect to Internet automatically even after I go to area with Internet. Need manually reconnect.

OK thanks will try use wakelock detector. 4hours discharging now battery left around 48percent
