Sony doesn't use Qualcomm Quick Charge tech? Their fast charging is proprietary?

Jokes aside, yes, understandable for those whom bought it recently. Coz i faced this situation before. sweat.gif doh.gif
Money went down to the drain.

No. Because sony uses different chipset for their phones, each chipset has their own fast charging technology. If Qualcomm, use QC. If Mediatek, use Pump Express.

Haha.. sweat.gif

But then again, RM1699 with 1 year extended warranty and an overly priced thin rubber casing vs RM1499 with nothing. I think my deal was better la.. tongue.gif

Gonna compile and post some test shots with the XA Ultra rear and front camera soon biggrin.gif

That is actually a good idea.. Many phones uses Mediatek SoCs nowadays.. HTC, Sony, Xiao Mi, Oppo are the main phones I see on the list. rclxms.gif

Because their Exynos chipset is based on Qualcomm's quick charging technology, so it's compatible vice versa.

As a photographer of sorts, I had to do a simple review on the XA Ultra's camera.

So for a few random shots smile.gif

Macro shots (With NEX-3N shots to show what I am focusing on) brows.gif

Overall, pretty disappointed with the camera. The resolution is there but it takes really near perfect condition to get a nice shot. Front camera however, is really nice.

Pros :
- Overall good color reproduction
- Fair speed at taking pictures
- Large screen so its easy to spot for details
- Good resolution
- Front camera flash and OIS helps alot
- Comfortable shutter button despite being thin

Cons :
- Poor autofocus speed
- Phase detection not fast enough in some cases
- Poor macro focusing(iPhone 5 does better)
- Rear camera no OIS. Pressing the shutter button fast may shake the photo
- Stock camera app settings and control are quite limited even on manual mode
- No custom white balance
- Auto mode sucks as auto white balance is not accurate most of the time indoors
- Single LED flash not powerful enough for further subjects in the dark

Thanks for reading notworthy.gif

Oh well, i believe your PM inbox gonna flooded with people to ask for your number, and i might be the first. laugh.gif
Anyway, just joking. laugh.gif

Nice review BTW. No doubt a photographer's sight. I have a A6000 but mostly serves as my leisure camera. sweat.gif
And reading this review made me wanna write a camera review for my Xperia XZ.

I have the Xperia X, not sure whether the focusing distance is the same.

Last week I tried to use the rear camera to snap a high res photo of a printed 3/4R picture, it just won't focus when I get too near to the photo, was trying to get it as close as possible to get better resolution.

So what I did was to pull back, and then just zoom in, make sure the zoom is less than 2X. Since the X camera have 24 MP which is too much, I guess don't mind sacrificing a bit.

It is not really the same with macro focus, but guess it is a workaround.

Yup. Basically if your focus distance is lesser than the minimum focusing distance the lens won't focus. Stepping away and zooming in to focus is one way to do it. You can also snap the picture at your widest angle and then crop it later. Quality should still be okay if you don't crop too much since its a 20mp+ camera. Safer than zooming because photos tend to be blurry from handshake.

If only there are manual focusing option. That way can maximize the use of the camera's focusing distance.

Still, very disapointed with the camera la.. haha

This is why you should get the XZ, periodically. laugh.gif

But it's so pricey and bezel so thick.. XD

I think there's 3rd party camera apps that allow manual focus as well.. Haha.
