AP set RM999.00 anyway, so far any AP set got issue compare to original set? Saw in Courts AEON BM, only RM1599. Very tempting. Still comparing this with Nokia1520. Currently using Note3 though.

QUOTE(jerm @ Aug 19 2014, 10:19 AM) if you have purchased apps off the Play Store, you'd be better off staying on with Android, no? Otherwise it'll be a waste of $ buying the apps then moving on to another ecosystem. And WP i believe still has a little bit more to go before maturing into an app-rich ecosystem Agreed. But I've a tendency of switched platform very frequently and quickly and have in fact bought a lot of apps for IOS(Iphone4), WP8.0(Lumia920) and android(note3). So I guess I should be fine moving again. Thanks for the advice though.

QUOTE(HexPhoenix @ Oct 10 2014, 11:11 PM) hi guys Few days back i saw at directD page at lelong said this phone currently at RM9xx (RM919) if im not mistaken. Is it true? Last year I played with it at Sony Centre in Bukit Tinggi price around RM2.4k. Is this phone still worth it? With that price? Since I'm looking for a replacement for my P780. Battery went cikai already. Not worth anymore. I'm mainly use my phone for: -Call (obviously) -Whatsapp/SMSes -Spotify -Evernote -PDF reader -Castle Clash  Few things to ponder upon: -I do Spofity like crazy. Save thousands of songs. Main reason to upgrade is because of this. Whatever MediaTek chip and ram inside P780 is not gonna suffice me anymore (although already using Link2SD, save songs to SD card and using 32GB Class 10 card). It's not snappy, always lag.  -Reading notes and ebooks on 5" screen is straining my eye. Portrait mode not so comfortable when reading. What do you guys think? If you like to listen to song, you might want to consider Vivo Xplay3s. 6" 2k screen couple with DAC and sound chip, you can't go wrong with it. I am using one, if you can obtain the lost less sound source, you are in for a totally new experience where no other mobiles able to come close.

QUOTE(HexPhoenix @ Oct 10 2014, 11:29 PM) Vivo? second time heard of it. Is the price same as Z Ultra?  Bought my at RM1899. Comes with tempered glass protector, case and a 16GB mSD(specially from shop even though phone don't have sd slot). It has fingerprint scanner and running on 4.3+FunOS. If you like music like me, you should try give it a spin. You will definitely love it. I am start searching for lost less source now, the file size per song is very  , easily 30M and up. But of course, the experience is totally different, day and night. Couple this with high end earphone then you have a mobile Hifi system in your pocket.

QUOTE(Jay Chua CC @ Oct 11 2014, 12:04 AM) Too bad no sd card slot. WIth the file size per song so high,the memory gonna be full in no time. Better go off with xshot.  Yap, have to agree with you with this one. But the 2K 6" screen is a must for me so I have to compromise on SD card. I cannot going back to 5.2" screen now since my previous phone is 5.7" Note 3. If only Note 4 has the same DAC and sound chip then everything will be perfect.

QUOTE(HexPhoenix @ Oct 11 2014, 01:03 AM) damn. THAT IS GOOD. but i retired already being "high end things" guy. since I felt not worth it to chase for single specific function but then fkin markup up to RM1.8k. I'm very rough in using gadgets. The almighty polycarbonate-body Lumia of mine kaput in less than 1 year. Almost same case with current P780 (metal body). Probably will change phone in every 6 months from now on. Furthermore, since I'm using Spotify, no need to pursue for FLAC or other lossless format anymore. MP3 312 kbps whipped with a decent RM50-Rm150 earphones is good enough for me already since I had bad memories with higher end earphones (Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser). HD screen already gooding enough. No need 2k 4k or even higher screen. The important thing is what we see on that screen aight? Just waiting for some more feedback from other Z Ultra users regarding the snappy-ness of the phone (UX/UI) after been used for some time. I see. If you are so rough with phone then you should even think twice with Z utlra. There are numerous screen cracking cases floating around the web due to its screen size. Be careful with it's premium screen and size you might crack it in no time.
