guys, im stuck between note 4 and z3. which 1 much better?

Z3 then.
With the dual front facing stereo speakers, you will never resist the best of it.

Better don't simply buy. Even in lowyat, certain resellers are claiming their AP sets as original sets. Expensive or cheap doesn't mean it's original, so be aware before buying.

If you are still insecure about it, buy at Sony Centers despite that RRP. Normally they will give good freebies instead of cheap freebies from resellers.

Lol.
You are asking this in a Sony thread?
Of course Z3.

Of course Z3. It's a very simple and easy to use phone.

Well seriously it depends on you demands. But of course u shud expect nothing less than a forwarded reply here - Z3.

The biggest difference between both is the added features (necessary or not depending on you) from the note 4.

2K Resolution.
S Pen.
Larger Screen Size.
Removable Battery.

If none of the above attracts u, Z3 is the way to go.

both have their pros and cons

Z3 over N4

- dual front facing speakers (entertainment purpose only will loud, the damn notifications still very soft ; hopefully the next software update will fix it) bro raymondtong94 keep sending those reports in to sony till they make a reply to u lol
- better color options i personally use the green and loving it
-insane godlike battery life

N4 over z3
-2k screen
-s pen (good for note takers)
-removable battery (if your phone starts to jam on you just pull out the batt)



i don't really like samsung's software as there are too much unnecessary rubbish bloatware installed.

so far for my z3 so far so good. tested and "raped" by bro raymondtong94 before he sends out to me. all good

jokes aside, my personal recommendation is the Z3

I came from note series user.

Based on user experience, I prefer z3 over Samsung because even they kept emphasizing the high ram capacity but with all bloatwares running in the background.. It will only left 1gb or even lesser if u use it. Which means greater battery consumption if u don't know how to disable those bloatwares one by one.

However.. Since I'm a hard core root user.. Samsung developers pool is larger means u get custom roms faster and various choices for u to optimize it's hardware to the max.. Z3 support is slow and accessories are limited as well - third parties in meant in terms of casing of course.

If it doesn't bother u, sony Z3 is way to go! Sleak, nicer to hold and most importantly.. It's very elegant yet funky with multiple colors to choose from.

raymondtong94, how much sony is selling the smartband?

Which Smartband? SWR10 or SWR30?
SWR10 is RM299 now. SWR30 has yet to known.

No point ask such question.

You ask at Z3 thread people give you Z3.

You ask at Note 4 thread people give you Note 4.

The best is test out both and decide yourself.

z3 has better battery life than n4??

but is it true i heard the charghing is quite long

normally i will put my phone to charge when im sleeping.

for battery life, i wonder if Note 4 users can get this result.
click

Stamina mode helps you to get to 2.5, 3 or some people reported even 3.5 days usage in 1 charge.

Unless you a heavy gamer, you should get at least 2 days per charge. I get an average around 2.5 days, sometimes 3 per charge

You play COC a lot?
2.5 days with data on?

seriously i hv a hard time reach 20 hours WITHOUT even gaming and WITH stamina mode on.... Dont know why you guys hv such godly battery life.... i only managed to get more than 6 hours SOT is when i was reading a book....

i use auto brightness with it set to 40%

thats amazing

but..i had note 2/htc one m8

the battery was amazing at first..but after few months it gets worst
i own xpz last time,battery was ok..sometimes stamina mode give huge difference sometimes not hopefully z3 is different

btw does the ps3 controller works on any games such as gta/shooting games/psp emulator ??no need root right?

Just finished charging, from 20%. Took me 2hrs 30 mins to charge til 100%.

Power management setting there is a place to view what is the apps that use up your battery..
can get any clue from there?

Don't play COC, but some other games.

Data/wifi not on all the time, but usually on. I say about 40% - 50% of the time when I am awake.

I don't think I gotten less than 1 day of battery life. Worse case is something like 7am to 12pm the next day before needing to charge. Maybe bring it to a service center?

Here one of my battery life that I manage to screenshot. Not sure why even google+ is there, I don't use it. Disabled it.

so u switch off data and wifi if you not using it while screen on? if like that then very mafan hv to constantly pull down to activate it when i wan use...
my phone already in service center... very hard to complain to them battery life not good..
i guess the culprit maybe facebook thats syncing in background ? but i on stamina mode so screen off , there will be no data....
even with stamina on , my SOT average is around 4 hours lol..... seems pretty bad.... almost reach the same as my previous lg g3...
