Hi guys, I need some opinion from you guys for this mighty Z Ultra.

I am currently using Note 2 and I would like to know is it worth the upgrade from Note 2 to this Z Ultra ?

And what is the price for the phone now ?

Any place to share that is worth to buy the phone ?

Many thanks !

Im using note 2 oso.z ultra better i would say.only the camera n speakers volume is the down side for me.rm1799 from directd or satugadget.

1st unit of z ultra i bought hangs and cant turn on after 2 hours.got a new one changed luckily.

Seriously ? Nooo. This makes me think a few times to buy it. I have had problems with Samsung before.

Is Sony build quality better than Samsung ?


And one final question about this phone is, it it really water proof ?
I mean can I bring it into the swimming pool ?
And can I wash this phone under the tap ?

The build definitely better than samsung and its solid.

As for the water...i  never try and dont dare to try.haha

Glad to hear that.

I have this problem with my hands that its sweats almost all the time so finally I'm deciding to change to Sony since sony phones are water proof. My friend is using Sony Experia Go and that phone is really really water proof. He has been using it more than 6 months and almost every other day he has been submerging the phone and washing the phone.

Erm u mean easy to slip off from ur hand? Z ultra using glass panel for front n back so its abit slippery eh.
*
No I mean now everytime using my note 2 I have to frequently wipe my hands so that the phone doesnt get wet. So with this Z Ultra, I won't have to worry anymore. thumbup.gif

And another question is, what is the model that is being sold at DirectD store? Is it the LTE version ?

Indeed the waterproof is great. You can bring it into bathtub also. I've tried dipping into a pail of water too. No problem at all..

Best is you can wash the phone when you feel like..

That is exactly what I'm looking for ! thumbup.gif

If you don't might the bad camera quality, don't care on S-Pen and average loud speaker, also probably the haven't solve bugs (seems not every unit affected).

Then Z Ultra is awesome Phablet.

Or else suggest go for Note 3 where I no regret switch over. Stable, awesome camera and fantastic screen.  Z Ultra screen is awesome but Note 3 screen is ahead of it. The best I ever seen and use.

The bad of Note 3 is not that giant big screen and no water proof.
*
I have tried the camera and it's okay for me. I don't really use the s-pen on my note 2 and I don't really mind about the loud speaker. However the bugs is making me think twice.

Is it really that Note 3 screen is better than Z Ultra ? Okay now this is making me think even more. ohmy.gif

The advantage of xzu is the disadvantage of note 3, screen size and build quality.  After using HTC One and Sony XZU I can no longer accept fake leather plastic and fake chrome with cheap paint finishing for the bezel. Sorry but Samsung needs to improve quality before it will make me switch.

For me note 3 is not much difference from s4 except for the pen which many people do not use.

At least this somehow cool me down a lil.


QUOTE(kaisergan @ Sep 29 2013, 01:21 PM)
Yusoff, seriously? you based your judgement upon other forumers? No offence on better s-pen feature, 3gb ram, UI and stuff. But talking about scree, Note 3 is better than ZU? speechless......
*
Sadly I do bro. I have been using Samsung for quite a long time but now Samsung just doesn't seem to win my heart anymore. Talking about screen wise, I'm not really good about it. That's why I do based my judgement upon other forumers. But you have made me think again bro. blush.gif


QUOTE(angel-girl @ Sep 29 2013, 01:26 PM)
I came from samsung.note 2 and s4.the screen is very nice as the amoled reproduce the color.the color very sharp and nice but its fake. Sony is more near to reality.

This has to best the best explanation I have been reading. Could not agree more on this bro ! Thank you very much ! blush.gif

amoled tend to makes thing more vivid..

sony is more realistic picture

both screen definitely for different market type, depending on what u want...if ur a photographer / graphic designer, then u might want to look elsewhere, cause of IPS, the closest to IPS would be HTC ONE

Thanks ! The only thing that has win my heart of this Z Ultra is because of the screen size and it's water and dust proof. blush.gif

One last question please, what are the differences between the LTE and non LTE version of ZU ?

And does this ZU comes with NFC and USB on the go ?
