does in include 3.0 quick charge?

It's supposed to support Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, but I don't have any QC 3.0 devices to test.

it is indeed support 3.0 quick charge, just want to know whether the charger itself it is included in the box.. looking by ammo's pics.. it did not.. damn it
*
Don't need to worry about it. Just like brother AmmoShaf said:

QUOTE(AmmoShaf @ Oct 9 2016, 10:50 PM)
You need to buy Aukey, its cheap nowadays.
*
Besides, I have so many devices that needs charging, 1 port is not enough. You need multiple ports! So I never use whatever Sony gives anyway, even if it's QC3.0, I won't use it.

Do it. Sony's offering is still special, with their own design language (beautiful to me, but it's subjective), decent spec, simple UI etc.. Overall I would find it hard to find an alternative!

Ouch... sad to hear this... not worthy as a torch

Yeah, not as a torch on the go. I always have this with me anyway, beats all torches out there, let alone those you get on phones. LOL

another, stupid question here: does the little square screen protector for the NFC need to be removed?
*
You don't NEED to remove it if you want it there.. but I removed mine immediately. Most likely just to let users know where the NFC touch location is.

If I remembered correctly, the price is RM219.
*
Hmm... Not cheap and only provides one port... Will be ok for those with only 1 usb device... But I would pay for an Aukey for myself, since I have so many devices that needs charging at one go.

QUOTE(zero5177 @ Oct 10 2016, 11:03 PM)
My gf Z actually had its camera lens scratched badly... even taking picture have dreamy effect... does yours also like that?
*
Dreamy effect is caused by lenses that aren't clear. (ie. dirty, oily, smudgy, scratched etc).

QUOTE(vinc3nt @ Oct 11 2016, 03:02 AM)
the quick charger better than original charger?
*
If you always find yourself on the move a lot and need a 'quick' boost here and there, fast chargers will do good.

But in the long run, can't be that great for your phone's battery. I only use QC when I'm in the car since that's when battery drain > charging current most of the time (GPS, music, navigation, bluetooth audio, screen always on etc).. or sometimes on the plane when I need to quickly top it up.|

At home/work etc, I use normal charging port. (I'll swap to QC if I need to top it up quickly).

Will the quick charger from third party i.e aukey and others, will comply with qnovo charging?
*
As far as I understand, Qnovo is on the phone side, so in theory it should work regardless of chargers you use.

guys, do i need to change any settings on the phone for quick charge to work? or it's just plug and play?
*
Cucuk dan main.

It'll charge faster the lower your battery % is at. It'll slow down as your battery gets fuller. Also, charging speed is temperature dependent and it'll get throttled/slow down as it gets warm/hot.

malaysian version of xz is 64gb storage right?
what is the actual free storage available for us to use?

*
Yes, 64gb storage for our dual sim variant. The down is that the 2nd sim slot is taken up by the sd card.

Full 64gb available? So good? hmm.gif

*
Full 64gb not available.

You have about 51.6gb of storage to play with. I didn't take a screenshot of what space I had when I first got the phone though, so can't give the full number. Maybe take away 1-2 gb for apps etc?

sim's probably damaged when i push it into the slot, tried to re-align it, still the same
*
Don't think it's damaged... looks alright, unless you sand papered the bottom part of the sim to make it thinner and damaged it?

My biggest worry now is if the pins for the SIM tray has been damaged.

I used to think there's no difference between 2k and FHD as well, UNTIL I got the VR and compared it side by side, the difference is HUGE! Like literally!
*
Yeah, when it comes to VR, it makes a big difference.

Of course, as of now VR contents are limited.. but like any new mediums... Prawn is here to lead the way in contents...

Yup, but my z3 wont do this. It just change the screen brightness around +-10% only.
*
The way auto brightness works on the XZ is different from previous Sonys. Not sure why the change.

Previous Sonys, on auto, you can still 'tweak' the brightness to give it a bias, meaning it'll be auto brightness +/- however much you move the slider. So if you find the auto brightness too dim/bright, you can set it to be brighter/dimmer, but still with auto.

On the XZ it seems like selecting auto will give you just that, auto. No way to tweak it to your liking and you got to like what they give. I find moving the slider on the XZ only overrides the auto and disables it. To re-enable it I'll need to switch the auto off and then back on again. At least, this is how I'm finding it to work. Other users do share your experiences.

Yes. I prefer the old auto brightness on my z1

Being on android, there are ways in which you can overcome some issues.

Are you finding the screen to bright? Or just that it changes a lot/fluctuates?

In conclusion, I won't upgrade from Z5p to xz.. Wait next gen with xenon flash smartphone. Haha
*
Don't you find the Z5P laggy? I couldn't stand the thing.. after so many resets and ended up using it in its bare basic for at the end of its life. LOL.

For me I am very happy with the move from Z5P to XZ. I even appreciate the lighter/smaller body. I only miss the ability to hot swap the MicroSD card. Hope Sony realises this and gives us this option in the future. Plus wireless charging would be good, with cars coming with wireless charging spot area + android auto, soon won't have to mount it anymore to be in sight.

Xenon flash, sadly not happening. Missed those from my K810i and K850i... But modern phones are as compactly packed as it is right now. Xenon flashes requires capacitors to store enough power for the flash, which takes up lots of space. Just like batteries, capacitor tech has not changed for many years. Unless Sony decides to put some high powered cree LEDs, then different story. LOL.

Additional step for no reason though. At least this USB otg's transfer speed on the PC iis pretty average. But the transfer speed to the phone is torturously slow.. that's where a USB 3.0 standard would be better than the current USB 2.0 but type C sleep.gif..

QUOTE(ChuanHong @ Oct 14 2016, 09:43 PM)
No laggy in my z5p.. Wonder why laggy for your case..  I miss my se satio.. Nearly 2k in 6 years back.

For all xz users, may watch this video. Quite interesting

https://youtu.be/O-F00RFmxA0
*
No idea.. the performance was still unsatisfactory even after factory resets (after installing my apps and all of course). But the XZ is working really well for me so far.

Yeah man... those were they days when Sony (Ericsson) was really innovative with their designs and form factor.. coming out with different niche but special designs.. Now they're just a very conservative company struggling to survive in the mobile world.

BTW, don't you feel the XZ speaker not as loud as Note7?
*
QUOTE(squall_kay @ Oct 16 2016, 09:36 AM)
i dunno either my XZ have issue or not, but Note7 & S7E single speaker louder than XZ. thus if compare with N6P, then can say bye2 already.
*
QUOTE(teckyang97 @ Oct 16 2016, 10:34 AM)
Can confirm this, the XZ speaker is softer than my Mate 8, which is slightly louder than the Note 5 and S7E
*
Note 7 is indeed louder. But imo, the quality of the sound coming from it is also muddier, not as much clarity as what comes out of the XZ. Also, when in the standard watching a video position, the front facing speakers sounds better than the downwards/side way facing speakers. Also, while playing games landscape, with the N7 I tend to cover the speakers. No such issue with the XZ.

QUOTE(ckchan @ Oct 16 2016, 12:20 PM)
For me personally, it's not so much as to which speaker is louder.

In my previous z1 which has a bottom speaker. Whenever I am watching video in landscape mode, the speaker will be firing to my right, which at night towards my wife and she'll always complain why I put the volume so loud. I end up having to cup my hand around the speaker to direct the sound to me. If I am watching a 10min video, I can't move my hand at all cos dking so I may not hear the sound clearly...

So to me having a front facing speaker is always better than a louder back/bottom facing speaker
*
Pretty much this.

Currently waiting for a taste of Nougat update on XZ. Who's waiting too?

I usually dread the arrival of a new Android version.. usually means incompatibility, apps stops working etc, problems etc...

The last time I made the jump early on, the Z5 Premium had Bluetooth issues that was not fixed for months.

So for me, I won't update for a while.

If it broke Sony's current stamina mode, I'll probably skip it until it gets fix. After all MM 6.0.1 is running well now.

I already consider Sony's current stamina mode to be broken...

Doesn't work the way it used to work in the past.
