Official Xperia Z Thread

[hawkz02]

Guys, if you all complain that Xperia Z gets hot and I can say the temperature will not be as high as S4.

The temperature can be as high as 50 Degree Celsius, check out below :

Is your Samsung Galaxy S4 overheating?

My Xperia Z also hit 50. Was running a few apps at the same time. Downloading movies at the background and surfing Ebay. Hit 50 and I did not realise cause was not holding in my hand. The system ui fail then I realised the Phone running hot. The phone was Damn hot that I need to do a reset and temp was at 49 after the restart.

I never bother about it when I am playing game.

when it hit certain temperature, there is a threshold it will throttle the CPU and GPU into a lower speed to prevent from over heating. If you are in stock rom and kernel you should be save.

Only if you are using custom kernel then you should take note as the developer is trying to push the limit of the chipset by setting the temp threshold into a higher range which in turn damage the chipset. Every phone has it own characteristic as it depend on the batch of the chipset some can have higher tolerance and high clock speed. It all depend on the yield.

er I don't understand, my go sms pro can use custom mp3 tones but I don't see an alarm clock option in go sms leh

Not in Go Sms Pro but in alarm settings for ringtone, you will have the above menu and select music to select your own MP3 songs.

Even if it hit 50 degree celsius, you can put into water to let it cool down but for S4, you cannot do that.

I don't think it is applicable to Sg as none of them is available in Sg.

i downloaded a ogg file to try, no problem, can select and sound is correct. if your ogg file is not in the sound picker list, go click the musical note icon at the top right corner, then u can see your whole music file list....

How's the camera on this one folks? Read somewhere the default camera app is not doing it any justice.

Definitely better than Sam Sung phones as their camera are given by Sonyand just a basic lens compared to the one used in Xperia Phones. Just have to play around with the settings to get a good photo as the JellyBean is not stable at this moment so awaiting for updates.

so why does a sony give samsung len but its picture quality still beats htc one and xperia z?

proof is on even on xperia blog - this show xperia blog is not sided with sony only is fair and square
Camera shootout: Xperia Z goes up against the Galaxy S4 and HTC One | Xperia Blog



but to compare camera

1. S4
2. Xz
3. htc one

but i would advice him to use his own eyes to do the judgement
but the user skills matters too

I took using my sony cam tx20 n the quality is brilliant

The camera looks decent. You can wait for the Cybershot phone if it's launch at the end of the year.
