i've been stuck with few small android phone with rubbish performance for years, just as i 've had enough, and thought apple is the only small and lag free phone maker in the world, this thing pop out, i can't wait any longer~

i don't think i can get myself a CNY present ... sad.gif

hopefully sony malaysia won't shoot them self in the feet by placing the price close to iphone.

while release date in bolehland are nowhere to be found, but since other country already released, i hope screen protector and other accessory will be ready when actual launch here.

Hehehe... the phone itself is not here yet and you worry about the accessories? Well, nowadays we have a lot of marketplace sellers that bring in the accessories themselves and sell here. Not necessarily need to buy from shops.

is my habit to stick screem protector right after bought cellphone ma.
used to worried this cellphone released but sp not yet available hence need to delay.
but now launch date here will be late, there should be plenty of time for sp manufacturer to make it and for seller to ready stock.

I have watched it before but somehow I still find that text based review from android central  is more throughout. You can check them out in their website, imo it is  the best one so far I have seen...

yes they r both good at picking up little bugbears that nobody seems to notice.

she did pickup the dynamic contrast thingy, which the ever fluctuating contrast is always the first setting i disable on any new monitor i bought. seem can't disable on z1 compact, hopefully the effect won't be too much nuance.

she also able to demostrate with same situation and different setting, how to (and not to) replicate flash bleed issue, this did give me more confident on this phone. although i didn't use flash, phone flash too weak anyway.

regardless how many nuance reviewer picked up, i don't think have have a second chance anyway, since z1 compact is the only small & yet fast android cellphone in the world right now.

been stuck with few small lagdroid for years, patiently waiting for this drool.gif as i will never accept a giant cellphone.

most reviewer tell that z1c included anti shatter film are grease and scratch magnet, i think maybe i wont get a screen protector, just let the anti shatter film do its work.
then after 1 year warranty period over, change the full-of-scratch film to a fresh shiny one. (and become brandless lol)

seeing many country haven't get this yet, including US...
perhaps sony think that since nowadays smart phone grow bigger and bigger (S4 vs S5, Z1 vs Z2, etc...), so sony think their consumer who prefer small phone have no other choice, hence can let us wait long long...

But this really is too long adi wei yawn.gif
Excitement of getting the phone is dragged out until feeling bit weary adi.
I do hope Sony knows what're they doing. =3=

the longer they drag, the more potential customer lost.

yes exactly, hope sony don't force me become ifag
they need know that they are not the only small and fast phone maker in the world.

I went through the options (4.4.2) and don't see a wallpaper that looks like Earth & Space ? Closest was Live-Wallpaper of some stars.

the default lock screen i have is something like below link

as current trend going, phone will only go larger and larger.
unless they make it smaller without shrinking the lcd screen size (like taking out IP rating, i have no confident in that anyway),
as a small phone lover, i don't expect z2 compact will make me regret getting z1 compact.

To tell the truth, the only thing I'm disappointed with the Z1 Compact is the size. IMO the phone is a bit too big to my liking and too thick. If I were to compare my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini with the Z1 Compact, the Z1 Compact is still bigger and thicker.
*
yep, i wish it can be smaller, but too bad this is the only small flagship in the world.
well, beside iphone anyway, but iphone have some basic function that apple not allow user to do, thats why i choose z1 compact in the end.
if only sony can take out IP rating, then perhaps we will have something like S4 mini with true flagship spec, not a rip off, haih...

just bought a magnetic charging dock at RM140, can't get further discount, and also not available at many sony center in jb.
1st unit i tried, it took countless attempt to successfully dock my phone, me and the shopkeeper both tried.
frustrated, i tell that guy get me another unit to try or i ain't buying.
2nd unit, docking is easy, even close my eyes also no problem, just feel that 'click' and its dock already (charging LED on).
thats my story buying magnetic charging dock, guys u should too try the dock first before purchase.
