grow up my friend, use a man stuff...  tongue.gif

honestly, i seldom see a guy use note series, 80% i saw is use by a gals. and so far none i saw take out the s-pen and use it with the phone... ha ha..

that from my own observation, maybe you all have a different view.

I agree with you, z ultra is too big to be use as phone. I actually expected sony to come out with 5.5 inch phone.

Hi, bro and sister,
I was thinking whether should buy z1 or note 3.
Anyone can give any advise? will Z1 lag while multitasking because I hate laggy phone?

Thank you.

New phone will be announcing soon, suggest you wait the new phone.

Both Samsung & Sony is schedule live event in coming 24/Feb (here 25/Feb).

Possible Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2 will be announcing.

The Z1 was only announced in September last year. It is highly unlikely they will replace their flagship a mere 7 months after announcement.

Rumors have been going around of a D6503 Sirius being tested. That concides with the model number of the current Xperia ZL. Which also coincidentally was launched roughly this time last year. A Z2 would probably have a model number of D6903, assuming they stick to current naming convention.

So in all likelihood, it will be the Xperia Z1L that is launched during that MWC event. Which I'm guessing will be roughly a Z1 with no water + dust proofing and plastic body. Some say it will also have a smaller bezel and bigger screen. Who knows, eh?

A replacement for Z1 or not, can't really sure yet but is possible another flagship which is better than Z1.

7 months to replace another flagship is nothing, Now flagship is for 1/2 year only, no longer a year.

I beg to differ but by releasing two flagships in a fiscal year is never a wise business decision.

Also please enlighten me on which company is or has practised such strategy as I might be wrong.

Samsung (S4, Note 3), Sony (Z, Z Ultra, Z1) and HTC (One, Butterfly S, One Max) did this last year.

Sony Xperia Z - Announced January, 2013 | Release February, 2013
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z-5204.php

Sony Xperia Z1 - Announced September, 2013 | Release September, 2013.
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1-5596.php

If you not count on Z Ultra which announced on June, 2013 and release on July, 2013. Then the differences between Z and Z1 is only around 7 months time frame which is quite accurate on my previous statement nowadays phone is for 1/2 year only and no surprise to see Sony announcing new flagship in end of February.

It happen a lot cases before.

Want play inside water, when new and not heat can play, after long usage better don't. Sony use glue, glue won't last long forever, after sometimes or heat will change the stickiness .

Water and electrical still enemies.

yeah heat is greatest enemies...but i think they have perfected a bit. so long still haven't heard of the raised back glass problem that prevalent for Xperia Z and it is already half a year.

Ya, at least Z1 seems did much better than Z (Maybe) as Z1 processor S800 is much way cooler than Z processor S4 Pro.

get Serious with Sirius

Yo! This time Sirius is Serious!

Finally a thin bezel, and from video, it seems is using a great LCD panel which no longer surfer from Viewing Angle Issue. Tap to wake is the most welcome feature, also some cool feature like Answering Machine, 4K Video Recording, all cool camera features added. I just love Sirius, it look nice and interesting to me. drool.gif

And ... I love it bring in some nice features (copying) from Samsung:
    Sony New Features (Samsung Existing Features)
  • Smart Backlight Control (Smart Stay)
  • Smart Call Handling (Direct call)
  • Simple Home (TouchWiz easy home)

hmm.gif then if this sirius only comes with 16gb internal memory, it'll be finished up real fast if one loves to record 4k video

After taken manual transfer to SD card lo. I think it may limit timing also. Note 3 is limited the timing, every 4K Video Record only up to 5 minutes.

Good to know that is not hardware limitation.
But if Sirius is Sony main line for the coming release, just wonder how big is the chance that all these features will migrate into Z1... I mean, if Z1 have save feature as Sirius, aren't these 2 phones will fight themselves?

They may possibly give you but not so soon. It only may give you after Sirius is out for certain period.

I like tap to wake up, built in answering machine (as my line i cancel it), shake to reject call and some other.

I don't think simple home suitable for high phone, people will buy high end because to use most of the function.

That simple home is only useful for oldest badge people that can't seen clearly. Not useful for us yet. wink.gif

Z2 should be D66xx hmm.gif but anyway Sony learn its fault  and changed!

I said possible not confirm.

The only issue on Sony is it LCD panel, If this still the cheap low quality TN or VA panel then can total forget it already. I will only interested if it is IPS or any LCD that have great viewing angle. Viewing angle is damn important to me. TN or VA panel is too low quality like use in low end cheap phone.

Water level not more than 1M then fine smile.gif

You won't spot any different between Z1 and Note 3, the only downside on Z1 is it's suck viewing angle doh.gif

Others hardware is awesome. 20.7MP camera, unlimited burst shoot, waterproof and etc.

Sorry I spot the differences. Not only me, my friends go with me also notice it. For me, great LCD with great Viewing Angle is 1st point I want that phone or not. If the phone is poor viewing angle, how great that phone also I won't buy.

Haha! But you said no different so it seems confuse to me.

Here my way on choose a new phone:
  • 1. The Look - Design.
  • 2. Screen Panel Use - Must be great panel without suffer on viewing angle.
  • 3. Specification.
  • 4. Smoothness.
1st can seen from Internet, means 1st thing I check when see the phone at shop is the LCD panel use. If it suffer on Viewing Angle, I will put back and forget it.
