The Almighty Z5!

[garychengjw]

Hi, anyone looking to trade in their Z2 to telco for upgrade to Z5?
I have a Z2 with touch screen problem and would like with exchange your non-problematic so you can use my z2 to trade in.

IIRC Telcos do not care about the condition of the phone, just the charger and phone itself will do. Correct me if i'm wrong on this.

In the first place, who will want to trade with your problematic phone first?

They do check.. Unless you order online.. The delivery guy don't really check.

you should make an offer of at least 1/2 the cost of the touch screen replacement.

Wah...anytime sell in forum can let go at 200 if without problem.

Yeah I recontract via singtel. Just nice my contract is up. Got it with a $80 discount and trading in my z2

How come got $80 discount?


Most of the times, they dont check the condition of the phone. No give charger also okay meh. (refering to red)

My z5 stops charging when it hits 97% using the supplied charger and USB cable. Need to unplug and plug in the USB cable in order to charge it to 100%. If I use a separate Sony 2.1A charger it will charge to 100% without issue. Is this normal? Is this a new Sony feature? Anyone can help to test?

since going to trade in, might as well.

I don't think they will take it disregard of the phone conditions. Price of offset depends on phone conditions.

yep, forgot to add if online delivery trade-in. over the counter usually they check.

you should make an offer of at least 1/2 the cost of the touch screen replacement.

i'm actually thinking of topping up, at the arrangement of the person whos going to upgrade

No, that's a myth. No modern phone needs that.

funan Sony store.

Not exactly right to term it a myth. Rather, current phones use Li ion batt which does not need the initial 8 h charging.

Older batt technology that is using NiCd or NiMH requires the initial 8 h charging.

looking to seek bros opinions.. im still comtemplating if i should get the z5.

what i like:
- the gorgeous design
- the camera, should be good according to many reviews
- the placement of the fingerprint reader
- the idea of a waterproof phone
- the idea of a dedicated camera button

whats holding me back:
- the system UI, but can be easily overcome with launcher
- the 1080p screen resolution (im currently using the LG G3, its a QHD screen. wondering if the x-reality engine lives up to its name and bump up the 1080p to look as good as QHD?)

one last question for bros who have the phone: is it true that the dedicated camera button on the z5 can be half-pressed to focus and full-pressed to snap? works just like a dslr's shutter button??

cheers!
