    AnonD-173756, 09 Aug 2013Thanks, bro, just now I find spec of the Lenovo K900, wow, ... moreYou are welcome. And I'm in the doubt between these two too.

    I can't help you with that details you need cause I haven't heard of them. But I'd say they are ok.

    Special features in the K900? It's got a very good front facing camera. it has wide angle... You better check some videos about the device.
    It's very nice designed indeed. And it does is very powerful.
    It doesn't have features like the Galaxy S4, but it's a good.device with most necessary software implemented in it.

    I've heard of heating issues while gaming and executing heavy apps, but no detailed information was given as temperature, time frame it goes from cool to hot, etc. But, as it's your interest you better get into XDA Developers forum and in the K900 thread you read first then ask. It's very probable these questions have been answered already.

    This is not an overage Chinese smartphone, it's from a very respected laptops, tablets and computers maker, Lenovo. And it has managed to build a very nice premium device.
    But, as it's not been released officially in many countries what can be worrying is the quality of support we can get if something goes wrong. Not too bad, either.
    Check out the comments for the K900 in this site, I've written several. Check out videos too.
    What has me 91% for the XZU is that all with it is fine,:support, updates over time, Sony ecosystem, Sony nice gadgets and apps, developers from XDA may support it easily because it's quite popular already, its availability is more certain for my country (Peru), and it's very nice and powerful. I've already got over the lack of LED light. ... So, I'm only 9% for the K900 now, not because the XZU is all better in these aspects, but it's Lenovo delaying too much to release it in my country and apparent lack of commitment with updates, haven't read a single news about this. But, I hope they update their flag ship as they should.
    So, the decision for me is almost made up. Just a couple of months for the XZU to get to my country and will see what happens. Only, every time I see the K900 I still want it, cause that design remains unbeaten n.n Who knows, maybe the future K910 will be available in some months, of course won't be like the K900 design, maybe.

      Guy, I got one question that want to ask you, isn't the battery okay?the loudspeakers work well ,I means can be heard probably in the noise environment? Because my family don't like China products, they say the product from CH will simply not working and become so hot when using . But I am not trust them because I haven't try the products.
      Unfortunately, this product haven't launch my country. BUT I love It's spec, design, camera!
      Any Special features in this Lenovo K900 ?
      interest this Xperia Z ultra and Lenova K900, battle is coming.....

        Have been using this phone fr last 2 weeks. First things first. If u have used a phone with a better ppi (i had sony xperia s) thn think a little bfore buying this. I am absolutly njoying this phone but still hvnt came out from ppi mania. The difference is espically noticable in gaming. Other then that full marks to ths monster! I used blackberry bfore with xperia s but have now combined both into one. Typing is a breeze on this thing. (Its too big to type in landscape mode!) Potrait typing is fabolus. I use A I type keyboard and in my openion its the best keyboard on Android market. Battery life is very good. I get eaisly one n a half daywith heavy usage. Processer is fine. Its not blazing fast but i am still to see any lag on this phone. The back cover is very glossy with slippery hold so i suggest u get a good aftermarket cover for it. Would recommend this phone to anyone who is not specs freak and looking for a decent phone both for work as well as fun. By the way i typed ths review with mega potrait keyboard in 5 minutes flat!

              AnonD-173756, 09 Aug 2013Hey guys, xperia z ultra'camera can beat Samsung galaxy s2?... moreFrom what you want (having in count your camera needs), the Xperia Z Ultra is the one for you, if you like the size, which for me is fine as it's attractive specially because of that.

              You can check out the Lenovo K900, too. I'm thinking about getting one of them. But the K900 is not available in the US and is only available in some countries. You can get it from China buying at Ebay, though. But, it's a very nice and powerful device.

              Another very good one is the known Xperia Z.

              All their respective cameras and all, will be just fine.

              I can't think of another one that you might not know already.

              Check them out and, you choose.

                Sony Z ultra is good in display size.but camera is not good .main disadvantage is not having flash light,and also want to improve intermal memory,and also want some new features when compared to other mobiles.we are waiting for sony mobile with these features.

                        For everyone finding the lack of LED light frustrating:

                        I feel the same frustration dudes. I understand you.

                        But I've just came up with this idea: get a mini LED torch to attach to your keychain holder and, done :D There we have the LED torch absent in the XZU, at least for torch purposes n.n Cause for pictures, it's not that needed. HDR Mode works much better than using flash to improve low light pictures. Try it!
                        I'm 90% sure I'm getting theXZU now after viewing reviews and videos of its undoubted powerful performance. But as this will be in a couple of months yet, let'ssee what others have to offer. Lenovo has the K900 and a K910 is in the works, the K900 is very attractive too, what a pity Lenovo is too slow to release it in more countries, mine, Peru, will getit, who knows, but it's got a big possibility, with the XZU being confirmed for my country soon n.n

                        And this last news about Sony opening the ZXU software to independent developers is a big plus n.n

It does not have a camera flash. yuckkkk. whats the use guysss??? why do they have to do like this? giving almost all the features but miss such an important feature. 8.1 mp camera with no flash???? disgusting!!!!
