Hi,

I own one and it's a big leap from my Xperia S. Question is, if I put a 64 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro Micro SD card (95 mbps read), will it run at full speed? Anyone here knows what Bus speed its card reader has? I'd really appreciate if you guys can answer this question. Thanks!

    This is what I've been waiting for as 4.3 brings AVRCP to android, song titles can finally be displayed on my MW600 & MW1 via Bluetooth streaming. Sony's official 4.3 update is coming very soon as leaked images of the Xperia ZL & the Xperia Z Ultra (two of my favorite models from the Z series) with Sony's official 4.3 firmware have surfaced.

I just shared my experience with sony zl that's it, and I'm not yelling at anyone like u. Don't use harsh words. buying a phone for 29 k and giving it to the service centre on the same same day which was faulty and will you accept that sir, And u say it's my attitude like using a Ferrari for 100 miles running flat tire.. Ok I'm not here for a fight enjoy ur phone, mine had issues hope ur phone doesn't have any... Any way thanks bro for your advice.. Will take it but say it in a soft way..

          AnonD-212949, 07 Dec 2013sorry bro no foul language its my opinion and each of us di... moreyour words dont hurt, but keep this in mind:
          this is not a sony board, is a board about a sony phone, and to post opinions respectfully, which you didnt, as you can see we all love this phone, and acknowledge its pros and cons, but as you stated:
          ""one of the worst experience with this phone poor display,battery and the 13 mp camera useless compared to others which are 8 mp. not worth for the money. s3 is far better phone than this in that price range even though its an outdated model... i'm not a samfan boy""

          you do not post any support to your complains, as other users do, you should state the following:
          one of the worst experiences?
          why? please do elaborate (sauce on this), pics or it never happened
          poor display?
          why? "sauce on this", video or it never happened
          13 mp camera useless compared to other 8 mp?
          how? luma? chroma? contrast? saturation?, "sauce on this", and pics or it never happened

          battery not good?
          did you tried another roms? any tweaker? etc?

          if you don't have anything to support your argument please refrain to post such nonsense.

          also as this is NOT a complain board from sony, i advice you to post all the issues at sony blog:
          http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/bd-p/22064

          as they do hear (even tho sometimes it takes long), what the users have to say about their products, proof of this is the IR issue (now they replace faulty units), so you should post your story with the correspondent proof of it, there, so we can all get improvements on those issues on the next update from sony, that is the reason of that blog.
          now, as what you did not only appeals to the "whiny fanboy" profile
          (since it doesn't have any proof, just bash about the product and does not point to any actions taken to remedy the issue),
          but also proceeds to demote this particular product, which clearly puts you on the "black campaign" class user.

          now after reading you last post, you reinforce this about you.
          your story its like that of a daddy's boy who gets a ferrari and gets a flat tire, then comes to his friends: "dude this car is a piece of shit, its tires go flat.. i went to the repair center and they took 20 days cause the rim got trashed after i drove 100 miles with the flat tire, im going back to my hummer"
          that... is how you sound, and how intelligent and competent you look like, which in another words mean.. you are a troll

          anyways to all of you who have had any issues with any sony phone, please do report them to the sony blogs so we can all get better updates, i hope they will upgrade the camera app and add the AR modes of the Z1
          ..and please forgive me for feeding the troll u.u
          hope no-one else does

                  Without being specific to Sony Xperia ZL, all I can say about android devices is that you can make battery last longer by switching off, 3G, wifi, bluetooth, DATA, when not required. Make sure you have good task killer which stwitches off unwanted apps working overtime. A good battery saving app. is another option. Personally I found the biggest battery saver is to switch off data. Your battery life will jump dramatically !

Dude i own a ZL and it's camera quality is really good and crisp atleast compared to 8MP. I think you wanted to buy S3 but ended up buying ZL and now you wanna go back to Samsung,so no one's stopping you get rid of ZL and buy the outdated S3.
