Just got my Z3 green silver yesterday..

the build quality on this one is just superb.

love it!

Retail 2399

Pretty sure you can get in Lowyat for 21XX

thats a suprise.. i used a Z1 it had pink spot issue, my current Z3 no pink spot.

I guess im due a good sony phone after all..

I think the pink issue spots has been there since the start of the Z's . I'm pretty certain that it can be fixed by a camera software update but Sony at the moment are too into the 6 months cycle release that they are concentrating on the release of the next Z rather than concentrating on user feedback's on improving the flagships that they currently have.

Iphone's & Samsung's all run on Sony sensors but they have much better camera softwares running compared to Sony's. For a company whose bread and butter was from electrical and imaging devices, the lack of apparent ability in taking the time and effort to improve the current issue's brought up on their flagship Z is alarming.

Well who knows 6 months down the road after Z4 is launched, they finally decide to stop sitting on their ass & do something about the camera software? I'm not a guy that takes alot of pics or likes to nitpick on how my photos looks so im pretty much okay with the pink spot issue as its something that im well used to on Sony phones

That's the only gripe i have with their mobiles really. Build quality, Hardware , Battery life are all world class except their image processing on THEIR phones which is THEIR FORTE.

Congrats! Green is a unique color.

I have the same one too

And its a lighter hue than the Petronas Green though..

yes i have it, anyways this issue doesnt seem to be only on Sony devices, other devices running on Kitkat 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 all has folder/spyware.

Yeah at least, there should be a fix for this soon since its not concentrated to a brand.

unless you want to ship it over from ebay

do u think the casing will scratch easily? also can you use magnetic dock without having to remove the casing?

Thanks mate! Usually these clear type casing are so prone to scratches. Ive used quite a few and majority of them are full of scratches after a week!

I did see the advertising by Ringke hence why i wanted to ask you

Yeah please do check on the magnetic charging support, i use it to charge mine and resort to removing the casing all the time,

Its a dealbreaker for me. appreciate it if you can try and get back!

Really what sort of updating issues?

Im on 5.0.31 though

usually no hidden charges as far as i know..

I came from the Z1, 1 thing i noticed is the Camera lag on the Z3, its pretty noticeable only if you previously owned a Z1 or Z2. Doesnt really bother me just something that ive been noticing,

Been comparing certain things from Z1 with the Z3, there are differences in the responsiveness between boths interface wise, Z3's overall OS itself just feels a tad rushed. Is this something related to the 4.4.4 KitKat entirely im not certain, though i do know this, there was some initial teething issues on the initial release of KitKat on the Z1's

Lets see if Android L makes any difference. Been using it for a week. It's a really good phone not the perfect has its issue's but overall its been great. especially the battery life. I can average around 7H SOT without Stamina Mode turned on.

My camera settings is always on Auto, should i change it to manual?
My average is around 1D 15Hrs and my SOT time is around 7 plus hours the longest i went was 1D 23H with SOT of 8 hours.

I took a screenshot let me see if i can upload it here..

Yes the notification sound is really soft compared to Z1/Z2.

Mine's exactly on the same settings as yours. Mostly on Wifi. Occasional calls, Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter and websurfing.

I never played any games on it. Infact i dont even have any games installed. Any recommendations?

Yours is considered pretty good with the calls and the standby time. 6H 21M is not bad at all.

Eh magnetic charger charges faster than the normal charging usually

I saw that probably those guys inadvertently dropped it or put it the pocket and hit it against some edge or something.
So far i dont have any issue's i dropped mine once on the parquet floor, I had the casing on although
