Capacity only 3200mah, initial test from full batt (after 1st charge), can charge from 10% to 63% of Z1. At least can get 12 hours used (FB, tethering and chating).

I never use powercase before so this what I like/dislike:
Use the magnetic connector to charge
When connected to power, can also charge directly the phone 1st and after full, charge the powercase in dual mode.
Have kickstand for watching movie but the stand feel filmsy
Fit nicely, not loose but not cover all
Sure can protect back glasses
cheap, less than RM50 (not including shipping) - actually I get for free
Added thickness but still no issue for me, my Nokia N900 is thicker
Added extra 80g.
Cannot take pic with flash when use powercase, the flash light bounce back to lens.
Doesn't match my phone, only have white when I bought.

One question:

After root, whenever new system and Android firmware release, can we update as usual via OTA?

I guess it depends how you use. My uncle and he's pretty buff had bent 2 iPhone 5 so far.

Once was bent when he sat on with his phone in his back pocket of his jeans. The other was him squatting down with iPhone 5 in his side pockets.

Not only Z1, even Z Ultra also got bent issue

Other brand also have, iPhone 5 and 5s

Just went for a swim with my z1. Snapped a few under water pic. Everything's Ok until I got back home. Noticed my phone will like soft reboot. It shows the Sony logo, then the flame boot animation, then lock screen, but without asking for the sim card pin. So I open the sim card slot and noticed the white thingy had turned red. But I checked the sim card and is still dry. Then I open the microsd slot and found that the microsd is all wet.

But till now my phone still working Ok. No more soft reboot. Camera still working fine. Internet all still good.

I was tempted to take photos underwater, etc. But in the end, I treat it like my iPhone 4: No cups of water near it, keep in trousers front pocket only, not shirt pocket or back pocket, no sitting on it. The phone's waterproof feature serves only as a backup plan to unforeseeable or unavoidable rain.

anyone got recommend z1 seller?

I found two different colour intensity on this two z1 of mine and my roommate, any sifu here know why is this happen?
The lighter colour is 1st batch, the darker colour is 2nd batch
Somehow I also asked another friend who are using z1 2nd batch but the colour lighter? 

Not sure about this, and the darker phone was bought in January
The other two lighter colour was bought in Oct and during Christmas
What is your colour anyway bro?

I got mine at satu gadget. Prepare to bring cash as they charge 3% for credit card usage.

Yeah...satu gadget damn dark and with 3 big bars in that area....better be careful with $$$$

Sirius bezel so thin, how the glue will hold this one.

tomorrow all will be announced. can't wait.

Can't wait to see the Z2

whats the point of having bigger spec but when taking videos the phone heat up and the camera apps shut down. i wonder taking video with 4K. 1 min roll then shut down?. then need to wait it to cool down.
that the one thing annoyed me.

When my iphone broke, I was looking at Samsung phone as well.

But the moment I saw Z1, I straight away "swing" to Sony and start researching about it.

Never regret my choice till now.

Can this be trusted?
