Since you have too many problems, maybe Xperia Z3 isn't the phone for you. I'm sure there would be other smartphones out there to satisfy your every whim. For instance iOS is very straight forward, don't have to confuse yourself over settings, limited functions but works without having to tinker much.

But so you know, there are 2 "Auto" modes. One you access by quick launch, one you access from the camera app itself. Both have different default setting, you should check that out too see the difference. I've never been a video guy so that's pretty much all I know about it.

I have been comparing dedicated point and shoots with phone cameras even since the W995 days circa 2008-2009, and even then the phone would beat some compacts in the market, seriously. Your superior auto is good enough, be rest assured. People's expectation on such small sensor in such slim chassis is getting more and more unreasonable. No other manufacturer can get such quality to slenderness ratio. You can't get the kind of shots I took on any auto of any camera in the market, trust me. If you want uncompromised image quality you simply have to work for it

That's a really strange claim. It's so loud even the back panel rattles. I even read a review saying the speaker is only next to HTC One M8 which is blardy loud. In fact the only thing you may be correct is that waterproof may affect its loudness, but it is by no means soft sounding. Anyone who has soft speakers should check their phones because one of Z3's key features should be its powerful loud speakers.

The official wireless charging plate and casing pack is out. I got it today, pretty cool as per attached photos. This is my simple review:

The charging pack consists of separate boxes of charging plate & charging cover but contained in a single package. The charging plate box consists of the charging plate & charging cable (different from normal usb / magnetic cable) while the cover box consists of the flip cover.

How it works is the flip cover has magnetic points that will come in contact with the magnetic charging port of the phone once you fit the phone into the flip cover.

There's a really classy circular led underneath the plate that lights up in a pulsing glow fashion the moment you place the phone on it. When you take the phone off, it stops glowing.

The charging is FAST unlike what I've read before and I'm fully happy with the charging rate. However, it does heat up while charging but nothing to get alarmed about.

That's all that I can tell for now as I've only had it for about 2 hours.

I'm a happy camper

Ericserve, Amcorp Mall. RM359

Yes, it comes bundled together in a single packaging. Good move by Sony.

It's RM359. I saw the one at Sony Centre selling plate alone is RM299. Mine is bundled together with flip cover.

It's also a fast charger, it charges faster than using usb and magnetic charger so you save RM120 off buying EP881, you get a classy flip casing worth at least another RM120, which leaves the plate that is actually the style you're buying for another RM120 so breaking it down, I feel it is worth every cent
