hope QC would be good....:o
Sadly, it seems that the QC is not that good this time round. Buyer please take note of the crooked line of the frame, not really sure if it will affect the waterproofing. It is more visible on the white Z5. This is not an isolated case and I read quite a few reports on this issue.

It is human nature to be greedy and ask for more.
After the desire is satisfied, everyone will go back and use the inferior option.

Simply ask around and see how many people use phone camera to shoot in HD, FHD or 4K, when all options are available. :s13:

i dun even shoot in 720p.. cuz very slow to upload to youtube LOL!!!!

and the editing part.. and the storage part
and if u want to keep all the movie..

sian...

i dunno why everybody keep on arguing about the camera on a device
that nobody have it at the moment...

picture that taken by review might not represent your experience and expectation....

everybody have their own preferences and usage

for me.. why i been using Xperia series since Z2 and loving is..

the Design .. i like that it is simple square..
i like the omni balance design..understatement and stealth ..
cant say the same if i get Premium Chrome LOL!!!!

Love the water resistant design.. it actually doesnt water proof after a while on my Z2..
it is not the rubber that give way.. but the magnetic charging port.. i think the glue give way.. the magnetic charging port CAN MOVE now.. so water will go inside.. :O
so i am looking forward for Z5 where everything is sealed.. cuz i dun open my rubber slot after i put the sim card in...

Love that i can slot up to 128GB *future 200GB.. too expensive
because of my Spotify and local music files.. and still have space for my anime.. and some thousands of pictures that i am too lazy to housekeep.....

The camera to me .. isnt the best but it work in my situation
i just turn on superior auto and shoot.
sometimes the color is off.. sometimes it just shine in the low light mode
camera is not the widest for Selfie.. worst for Wefie...
but love the camera shutter

i love that it is darkhorse phone.. not a typical iPhone or Samsung
and yet it is nearest to stock Android...without the need for me to root lar this la that la.. no time for that
i just want thing that just work

i dont need RAW or 4K video...
i upload my pic directly to Instagram or youtube...
my friends commented that i am like a reporter.. reporting live from the scene
imagine i have take pic.. find time to edit the raw.. correct the white balance.. crop, change shadow value, change noise value...
then must remember to upload...
i think my Instagram must be quite empty then.....

i used to use 920 and then 1020.. and was wishing Windows Phone will take off
but after so long from Windows Phone 8 to 8.1 then jump to 10..
Microsoft isnt doing that good in the phone department... and the app support is still bla.....*my games dun even bother to port to Windows.. sian
that's 1 more point for me to stick with Android.. and to my Sony

so yeah..
the phone isn't perfect.. it heats up when i play game
kinda fragile cuz front and back are glass, but i only drop it once.. LUCKILY nothing happen
the camera is hit and miss
but it is working perfectly for me

so i hope the Z5 or Z5 Premium.. will be able to fit the Z2 shoe...

Although defects are uncommon, consumers still need to exercise common sense to check their purchase properly before taking it out of shops.

For those who order online, it will be troublesome to return the goods.

order online from singtel got 30 bucks discount right. But the risk is difficult to return it.

Yes. That is the good thing about buying from shops.
Just reject the goods on the spot if it has defects.

just browse singtelshop and found that now no more filter for Sony brand. Although there are still some Sony models listed but can't search "SONY" anymore.

Funny things is that Sony's own website also not directly selling their phone and rather re-direct to operators. Those people who strike the deal with operators are trojan?

just called the Sony shop, they said they are expecting stock to come in today and will call those who have pre-ordered.
