found out that they still using the same gimmick as Z5P
https://www.lowyat.net/2017/126411/sony-xpe...emium-hands-on/
Sony still tirelessly use this trick to trick customers. What is 4K screen if without major app supports on it? even YouTube app also don't have 4K mode for Z5P. Might as well go for other phones with fulltime 2K screen ohmy.gif

after knowing this, XZP only left the slowmo video cam which is "exclusive" to them at the moment, eager to know what S8 will come up with, the leaked rendering looks promising

The 4K display, Sony wants to be the first (which they did!) and continue to offer for consumers. I dont mind the 4k display as long they have resolution settings like in S7/Edge, you can manually change to HD/fHD/2K and 4K for this phone. This way can prolong the battery life.

I'm so looking forward for this phone! That 960 fps is killing me. Previously this feature was in Japan only model (I forgot the brand).

Free Touch n Go?? We dont event use it in East malaysia Lol. Is anyone actually thinking on getting this phone?

Good if people in East MY don't use it so can sell it here in West MY laugh.gif

Btw, last time Xperia Z5 Premium pre-order includes too many freebies compare with this one. Smartwatch3, speaker and 007 stuffs. Only TnG Sony LE that interest me in this pre-order. I'll wait for used set that comes with freebies then.

So how come some of you get 15 months of warranty? Need to check with Sony Centre or just by Settings > Support > warranty ?

So everyone here is 1 year warranty? I saw some said they got 3 months extra. Anyone know why? Saw the ad in Mudah said the warranty is until Aug/2018.

Also if bought from Sony shop, no warranty for screen crack? Or is it only for pre-order units?

After few days of trying this phone, really amazed how it's improved since Xperia XZ! I can't see lag anywhere. The screen too also something else, feel the premium. But I still can't force my heart to like the super slo-mo quality. Need a very bright scene, indoor seems a mistake. I'm waiting for it's next flagship, hoping Z Ultra alike, not that XA1 Ultra alike. Oh well, it's been nice to experience this device.

I have been waiting one for ages. if Sony still couldn't come out a single model that replaces the Z Ultra, I may off to other brands.
But i dont have XZ Premium also. laugh.gif

I left a message in Q&A form in Xperia app regarding that new Z Ultra. Hoping Sony will listen laugh.gif

Ya better cases are still not available locally except at Sony store. Just buy it from Lazada better than eBay.

Btw, how's the phone? A lot of improvement since Z3?

Sony Xperia XZ Premium - here's how to enable 4K output all the time

1. Step #1

So, how do we know that the Xperia XZ Premium is not running at 4K all the time? First up, open up a system info app of your choice and check out the resolution. In our case, it's 1080x1920 pixels as per AIDA64, and we are fairly certain it will be the same in your case as well.

2. Step #2

You will need to open up an ADB shell. In case you're not aware what ADB is, we're not certain you should be here, but anyhoo, there's a first time for everything. First of all, you need to download the ADB SDK from here, then make sure you have the latest version of the Google USB driver. Install both of these on a PC of your choice. Alternatively, you can go with the Minimal ADB And Fastboot Tool, which is a less of a hassle to install and get around.

3. Step #3

Enable Developer Options on your phone if you haven't already, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled. Launch the ADB Fastboot tool, then connect your phone to your PC. A pop-up message will appear on your phone, asking you to authorize the connected computer to debug it, which you should allow.

Now, in the ADB shell window, key in "adb devices" and hit Enter to make sure your Xperia XZ Premium has been successfully connected. If yes, proceed to the next step.

4. Step #4

Type in "adb shell" then hit Enter, then type in "wm size 2160x3840" (no inverted commas) without the inverted commas and hit Enter again. Back on your phone, you should notice a flicker and a sudden change of the resolution as well as the scaling of the interface. To fix that, just type in "wm density 820" and hit Enter one final time. The interface should be better-scaled at this point. And that's how get your Xperia XZ Premium to output 4K all the time.

If you want to go back to the default resolution output of the phone, make sure to backtrack by inputting "wm size 1080x1920" followed by "wm density 420" in the ADB shell.

wah , clear coat cant protect the screen from shattering also need rm200++ . Is that worth ?  hmm.gif

It feels 'plasticky' and some case can't fit in as it add a layer. It's expensive because of the service and lifetime warranty.

What's the difference between clear coat and the cheap plastic screen protector (non- tempered glass type)? Both also can't protect the glass from shattering, right?

Ya both also can't protect it from shatter but i prefer normal SP than clear coat.

XZ premium vs htc u11
I had used both and I would say my preference is on the XZP. I had sold my U11 3 days ago.


I too will choose XZP over U11 even though I'm not try yet the U11. It just practically the same with U Ultra just snappy and better camera. Feels different with XZP, Sony did a good job on that.

Anyway, I don't see anyone selling their XZP with the limited edition TnG that comes with it. I guess everyone keep it, eh?

Distortion issue? This really impact Sony so hard. I'm planning to get another one to fully use it's super slo-mo. But knowing this, I'll hold it until it's fix.
