Whopss... Looks like Z1c camera is plagued by flash reflection issue....

I shall overlook this and buy it regardless... since I rarely use flash. Phone camera sucks at low light anyway... sad.gif

If touching Rm2000 should be a bit hard to sell because got many options around that price bracket. Especially now that 'Samseng' would be lauching another of their flagship S5 soon with very high specs.

you forgot the main selling point - Compact.
there is not even one other option for a 4.3 inches screen with this powerful spec. icon_rolleyes.gif

but it would be a direct competitor to its Elder brother - Z1 since both will be in the same price range, kinda weird if someone would compare side-to-side and see near similar pricing but satu besar, satu kecik..confirm go for besar Z1(unless really a Compact phone kaki)
*
well clearly this phone is aimed at Compact kaki like me. thumbup.gif

Lets not forget that this suppose to be a top-tier phone in small size! not inferior mini version like One Mini 0r S4 mini.

dun be so grey.. just that Malaysians are more brand loyal (aka fanboism). biggrin.gif
When it comes to Apple & Samsung, Malaysia launch are pretty much same pace with other countries. Because of the fanbases.

By the way, Sony is really stupid to always launch their phone right after MWC... this launch is gonna overshadow by new phones announced in MWC, many people will no doubt wait for newly announced phones than buy a year old phone.

Anyway, both the HTC M8 mini and LG G2 Mini isn't exactly 'Mini' because of their 4.5' and 4.7' screens respectively.  whistling.gif

For me anything over 4.3' screen would be huge already. tongue.gif

laugh.gif funny that these companies think 4.5" is Mini size nowadays..
luckily we have Sony rclxms.gif

^ Good analysis.
If follow this plan then Sony really dunno how to manage their product launching time schedule well.
To Z1 Compact's future generation, pls pls pls pls pls maintain the slimness and compactness of your forefather, but pls fix the issue of flash bleed and panel scratching.
*
I know we all want an improved 2nd gen Compact...

So please buy Z1 Compact first... got sale, only they will make sequel... if Z1C sale not good, I doubt they will release another compact...

it was reported that the ASF is gone on Z2, now not sure if Z1C got the same treatment, or is it still based on Z1...

http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-ditches...eria-z2-devices

any early adopters feeling adventurous? hahaha...

EDIT: NVM, read the Z1C thread on XDA, pretty sure its with ASF as many have reportedly scratched their front without attaching any "screen protector"...

i'll most probably hang on to my current phone a little longer and hope a Z2C will appear this year... LOL..

well, hope you wont change your mind to wait for Z3C next year this time.. tongue.gif

who knows? hehe...
i've waited so long for a perfect replacement for my current phone (coming to 3 years @ July 2014), dont mind a little wait as long as it dont fail suddenly.
it's a 4.3" and physically similar to Z1C, and its thin and light. was a flagship when released, and i grab it as soon as its available locally @ RM2k+ smile.gif

Samsung galaxy S2?
