Sony Xperia XZ

If u don't re contract after 2 years contract, the monthly subscription is still the same right? What do u mean by the subscription that u pay after then will be a waste of money?

Sorry for asking. Coz I am still using the old 12gb plan.

Cos the amount that u're paying is actually a partial amount for paying a new phone. Like paying an installment for a new phone. If u continue paying it without getting a new phone, then u're paying for nothing.

Just compare the normal subscription price and SIM only subscription price. Starhub's SIM only prices is only 50% of their normal plan prices.

Rules of thumb,
Always go for sim free plan if you can fork out the full price of the phone.

Yes, I also support this idea. 50% discount off the mobile plan saves more in 2 years of time.

Especially people like me still holding on to the old 12GB 4G data plan can only buy from shop

Just wondering if anyone here has issues with Android pay? Keeps getting either a fail or some sort of present card at counter message at various places including fairprice finest. Already tried to reinstall Android pay, removed and added in all my cards, removed all payment methods in Google wallet, checked if android pay is the default method for nfc payments etc... Topping up of ezlink and nets flashpay via the phone's nfc works though (tested to check if the nfc is working).

I always recontract iPhone and sell it to buy other phones. No point recontracting android smartphone because its not really worth it since the XZ cost $598 on ST combo 2, street price $795. Savings of $197. Recontract iPhone 7 matte black 898, sell to shop can get 1420(1350 for silver), savings of $522. And use the $522 to buy XZ at $795, the XZ only cost "$273" on combo 2 instead of $598.

You make many people salty with your 12 GB plans.
Nowadays 12 GB plans cost over 100 bucks per month.

Yes, the fruity phone always have higher resale value no matter how you compare to other phones.
You can sell at the highest resale value on the first day and buy any other phones with some remaining cash.

Option 1: Recontract combo3 ($60pm) iphone 7+ at 700+. Sell it for 1.3k+. Earn 600+. Buy Xz No Contract At 800. MEans Xz Cost Only 200.

OPtion 2: Recontract Combo 3 Xz At 268.....

Option 1 Go Thru so Much hassle, End up only save 68...

Unless U are buying non FlaGship Sony (like X Compact) N is Willing To Wait For Price Drop, Then Go For Option 1.

with dual sim phone, you can get a sim only plan on your 2nd line to get 12gb for about 70 bucks altogether =D

I am executing option 1. Got my X Compact during launch, just recontract iPhone 7 256GB Jet Black for $698. But even at $1200, there is no buyer.....

Sony SG posted this video on their FB page, showcasing how steady the recording is on their video mode

Is this true? It's almost like using a Steadicam

Can anyone take videos with their XZ to upload on their youtube and share it here?

 

[technolust]

I think ip7+ got better chance to sell, ip7 is really

Yeah iP7 isn't worth as much ad the 7+. If really want to sell must get 7+.

I believe it only works when taking 1080p video. I'll try it when I have the time.

Doesn't matter its i7 or i7+. Both are equally hard to sell.

 

[Audris]

Bimbotic question over here. How is the xz selfie cam as compared to s7 or g5?

 

[alienjeffman]

I was actually considering the Xperia XZ,next to the LG V20 until I watched this video.

Warning: not for the faint hearted!

 

[BrOwnTeddy]

Those who haven't gotten yet, fresh off mobilesquare's website.

XZ is now $795.

Good for those who had gotten rid of the Note 7, got the refund, using their old phones and do not have single clue what to get next.

Posted with my Jet Black iWhore 7+ via HardwareZone Forums app

But ip7+ is much harder to acquire also and my re-contract window was closing.

Remembered someone asking about Android pay. I tested and it work fine with M1 ez-link SIM (only tried with slot 1) and no issue with Android Pay.
