XZ Blue is also Bae

Water RESISTANT, not waterproof.

The only WATERPROOF things I could think of is Submarine (our Malaysian Navy's does not count )

The water concern is because nowadays phones are with lots of "holes" exposed to water if it is submerged. Take N7 for instance, its USB-C, the headphone Jack, speaker, physical home button, all these are exposed to water hazard.

Why Sony change the terms for their water proofing policy during their Xperia Z3 is that they had change the way these ports are protected from a fully enclosed type of sealing to what everyone is now practiced - by o rings that is still exposed to water when it come to contact.

Take a look at Xperia Z that I am using right now as spare phone, it is completed covered with flaps for the usb ports, headphone jack. yes there are still orings but they are secure inside the flaps once you close it, not exposed like what the newer generation of phones are. I am sure there are pros and cons of each other as the xperia Z I had already changed the micro usb flap for 3 times due to wear and tear (had to open the flap to plug the charging cable, and close it later) and the o ring gets worn and torn after some time. But till now I still have very good confident on the design that it is no problem to stay underwater as advertised (bearing in mind that the phone is already 3years+). For the newer generation of phones like N7, Xperia Z5, or even the IP7 it just doesn't give me the confident that it will still be doing good after a few years.

You meant Xperia ZR. Yes it is using the same old type of water sealing.

The roadshow is definitely pre book lar, you think it is that easy to allocate a venue for so short of time ke?

Maybe the marketing team are too busy right now for the backside fire than notify the organizer for change of contents.

To my assumption, all those manufactured before September 1st (beside China units) are to be recall.

IIRC mobile phones are always not advisable to check in due to the battery, ANY Lithium based battery.

Great, now you effectively makes our phone to have 2100mah battery. Good job

Well I find that N7's photos are oversaturated (as usual just like other Samsung phone). Personally I am not a fan of it.

To my understanding, any devices that had internal Lithium battery is not allow to check in, be it your powerbank, ipod, or any detacheable Lithium battery is to be taken out and hand carry into cabin. I don't see what's the difference in that vs mobile phone.

Only this time the N7 had to be tagged

News aside, time for some poison:



My sister (the daredevil who took my N7 to Austria right now) send me some photos taken with the N7.

Samsung in Korea is dominating.

More poison:

Sure under the affected recall batch. ALL of current MY set is affected.

Don't care, just return it in due course.

Better be safe than sorry.

Seriously, if you can't take it, don't read the posts.

I have no problem with it.
