Greetings!

Just got my XZ yesterday, gotta say the Forest Blue colour looks even more amazing up close. Changed from a Z2 to this.

One thing though, the tempered glass screen protector that came with the phone....it just looks funny on the XZ. Doesn't fully cover to the sides. I know this is cause of the curved edge but....my slight OCD is kicking in looking at that incompleteness tongue.gif

i used those temper glass sp that cover the whole screen before and do not recommend it because the sensitivity on the side of the screen will be compromised and it is very reflective because the glass do not actually stick directly onto the screen. so for curved screen, if you prefer temper glass type of sp, it's better to use the non full cover ones.

I see, cause right now, the screen protector I have doesn't cover enough to the sides, so sometimes when I'm typing there's like this edge/ridge where the screen protector ends.

right now i am using a glass sp covering just 1mm short from each side but it does not affect gaming or typing or whatsoever

I am using Devil Case's full glass sp with AGC, and the sensitivity is not affected.
If one were to purchase a full glass SP, this is the brand to go.

cool. will check it out

Should be compatible, since it uses digital connection (and Sony is a fan of digital connection for better sound quality).

but it's using the usb c connector leh, not the 3.5mm port.

For RAM usage, mine is running around 2.4GB at all times, and that is even when I force close tons of apps that I rarely use.

Even after the update, my phone still feels laggy. And does anybody notice about the tap to wake function? It was supposed to be tap twice to wake it, but mine needed more than twice, sometimes even more than 4-5 times tapping quite hard on the screen, then it'll wake it lazy ass up.

Even the adaptive brightness function seems to have a problem. It doesn't adapt to the changes in brightness fast enough, sometimes it would actually stay full bright or half even in total darkness and I had to manually change the brightness, which makes the function seems wasted. It doesn't start on this update though; if I'm remembering it right, it started since the last 2 (or 3 update).

Mind you I don't even put on any screen protector anymore, and I regularly wipe my screen with glassess cleaning cloth.

if you face many problems or serious lag, better do factory reset.

honestly i don't have any issue with my xz. my newly bought 6 month old i5 laptop lags more than my xz. (crappy windows 10...)

i stop using the double tap to wake now cos i feel it is too sensitive in my case. always screen on itself when i put my phone in my pocket.
adaptive brightness... when i first bought the xz, again it is too sensitive. always dimming the screen to the lowest. but after dunno which update, it now works like a charm.

in fact i am very satisfied with my xz tbh. even after major updates from android 6 to 7 to 7.1, i don't feel the need to do factory reset of the phone unlike my previous z1, which sure face lag or some feature malfunction after a major update and need to do factory reset. i may, like raymond, do a factory reset after update to android 8. but still depends on situation

Don't waste time for factory reset. Most of the time, it do not work.
When android update, it will clear all the cache, basically format only work if something is corrupted. But when you go check xda and sony forum, many peoples are shooting there, mean it definitely a rom problem rather than individual problem.
And giving you the more reality case. Few pages back, i said my phone was sent to warranty. The phone was lag EVEN first day getting back, which was formatted and upgraded to android 7.1

I don't think it's rom. if it's rom problem, every single one of us will have the same exact problem

Hello, just dropping by as I was looking at Sony XA models, didn't realise it's MeditaTek otherwise it's looking quite sexy.

Also, I am quite surprised at number of Sony users! Just wondering, what made you all choose Sony over other flagship models in the market? Sony isn't cheap either, but their mobile industries seem to be shrinking as compared to others, no offense intended to the fans, just being curious, that's all. smile.gif

for me, i prefer square phones. purely personal taste
also the cleaner look of the front. i don't like a home/fingerprint button on the front. back then the Z1/Z2 look is my favorite whereby the front is all glass only. no speaker, no home button whatsoever.

spec wise.... i always tot that flagship smartphone is more or less at a very mature state. there are actually little difference in performance for common user.

software wise i also like it simple and easy. also i consider it to be quite stable. my wife is using iphone and my parents are using note series. they are light user. only messaging, taking photo and fb, ig,... but they encounter more weird problem than me TBH

Is it glued full screen or just stick on the side?
Pity it doesn't have forest blue
