    AnonD-282954, 12 Jul 2014Hi I have few queries regarding this flagship Pls try to... more- Loudspeaker is average due to its waterproofing.

    - There's an update to Contacts app.

    - Mine is 4.4.4 now, never hangs. Unlike my phone when it was still in 4.4.2.

      n0-way, 21 Jul 2014oh yes! the same questions i have to ask too!: - battery... moreOk, things to consider..

      1. Loudness and clarity of voice is not handset dependent alone. You should also check it with your network carrier. But from my experience, its clear, loudness is average but you can still hear the person talking to you.

      2. Screen.. I tried 3 movies.. from old (not so old) to new ones. Still, depends on the quality of the movie. All of my movies are in 1080p. Depends on the encoder of the movie.

      *The Mask (1995)
      *Transformers (2007)
      *Robocop (2014)

      I don't want to try cartoonish animated movies as much as possible like Kung Fu Panda, Monster Inc., etc. I want it to be more realistic.

      - The Mask: Wow, 1080p on a 1995 movie?! yep. I tried it and it's horrible on my Z1c.. lots of deepblacks!

      - Transformers: Good quality, and sound effects. no deepblacks so far.

      - Robocop: Night scene in this movie was great! you can still see details.


      Video playing like you're in a movie? Yes, thanks to x reality. But take note, you may need to set the brightness to maximum to appreciate what you're watching.

      3. Flashbleed is caused by the cases that you bought somewhere. Not on the phone itself. Never had this problem. So this is a lame excuse.

      4. Battery: Stamina mode works great once your phone is at 10%. We had several brownouts during typhoon for two days and it lasted me almost the same. (Well, without data of course.)

      5. Don't be in rush to buy a phone. Think what you like and what your preferences are. :)

        Does the z1 compact have the provision of moving downloaded apps to SD card?,instead of the phone memory?

                This phone is just amazing. I have small girly hands and the Z1 Compact fits perfectly in my palm. Fortunately, I didn't get flash bleed problems. I never experienced lag. Battery life is great. Everything about this phone is awesome. 10/10! :)

                      Just don't buy this phone. The flashbleed is so bad and the camera quality overall is poor specially indoors. Also You can't move apps to external SD card even on stock Jellybean which leaves you with the only the 11GB internal storage and your card can only be used to save media files. Samsung and HTC phones allow this even on Kitkat. Finally, Sony just don't care about their customers at all.

                        Not sure about Z2 features though. I think they just differ in RAM, battery and screen.
