If you look closely, there's a huge bezel on the lower part of the phone when she was watching a movie. So I believe it will be an official Sony extra battery case.

Im pretty sure the LTE version will suck the life out of the Z Ultra. Im using the 3G version, with stamina mode on with gmail, outlook and whatsapp always on. Browsing the web for a period of a few minutes drain the battery by 5-10 %.

mmmm I see what you mean, I hope that is not what they come up with, it would made the device a ***** to hold and operate in portrait mode.

To be honest with you, if you want to buy ZU for the camera then you will be disappointed. I bought my ZU about 8-10 days ago and loving it so far, but I didn't order for its camera, so I knew what I was doing. If someone tells you ZU takes extra ordinary images then they haven't seen any good pictures yet.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] angelofmusic:
Terrible Contrast Ratio

I wouldn't get too excited about this display just yet. I have done some measurements and I am seeing that the contrast ratio is about 689:1! That is worse than the original z. It is the same with the Bravia engine 2 on or off.

Also I see quite a bit of light loss or brightness loss when turning this device. This is nowhere near as good as the HTC One IPS Display. I don't see color shifting though.

Also, I'm not happy about black compensation. There is a lot of compression in shadows. Dark scenes are just too dark too soon and they lose a ton of detail. No variations in shadows. Just all the same "black". Plus in the dark this display looks like a bright shining light leak. Lol no darker blacks at all. Think about a bluish grey and a very bright one at that.

Sony is taking gamma for highlights and midtones and making them way too bright (low gamma). Let's give an average of gamma 2.02. Then in shadows they are making gamma way too high and pretty early on. I guess the combination of too low gamma (or too bright midtones and highlights), contrasts with the high gamma shadows (too dark to have any variations in shadows) . This makes things look punchy but I'm not so much appreciating this processing! If only blacks were darker. =(

The color temp is also pretty blue at about 8000 Kelvin. Not impressed Sony.

I will be making a video on YouTube about this as I discover more. Http://www.YouTube.com/theangelofmusic1989.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] corrado85:
nice review.

do you think that the new FW with 'X-Reality' engine will fix these processing techniques? I've heard that the triluminous feature is not even enabled yet because bravia 2 engine does not take advantage of it.

When you say '..that eye..' do you mean the icon at the top that looks like an eyeball with 3 eyelashes above it? If so that is indicating that you have the Smart Screen enabled. You can turn off the Smart Screen (and thus removing the eye icon) in Settings > My Device > Smart Screen. Hope this helps.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Don't look at your Android version, you need to go by the HTC firmware version (1.73, 1.85, 2.20, etc.). Then use the corresponding (for your firmware version) root method on my Index: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

The root method you linked is for firmware 1.73 only, which was the release version. So unless your One X is pretty old, this probably is not your firmware version. The SuperCID method you linked clearly states that you need to be rooted, which you are not. Therefore it won't work.

Smartphone benchmarks never really indicate how a device will ultimately perform, yet tech enthusiasts exalt results like they’re the end all, be all. Check any review; the nebulous collection of numbers are always held in high regard despite them never really doing much to affect the overall experience. Still, companies take them quite seriously—in Samsung’s case, a little too seriously.

According to a new report from AnandTech, Samsung might be fibbing its way to more favorable Galaxy S4 benchmarks. Has your device suddenly come to a crawl? Of course it hasn’t; benchmarks shouldn’t change your perception of a flagship as powerful as the S4. Still, it’s embarrassing that Samsung would resort to such technical tactics, like allegedly using code dubbed “BenchmarkBooster.” Yes, your device takes steroids.

AnandTech found that Samsung set the GPU of the Exynos 5 Galaxy S4 to run higher when benchmarked—higher than normal everyday use. When engineers tested the device, the S4’s Exynos 5 ran at 533MHz during benchmarking, and only ran at 480MHz during regular use. Not an enormous difference, but large enough to call shenanigans.

In addition, AnandTech found that when running CPU benchmarks with apps such as AnTuTu and Quadrant, the device’s Cortex A15 clocked at 1.2GHz; an unofficial benchmarking app, GFXBench 2, revealed that the device actually runs at 500MHz when it’s not juicing. Seems fishy, no?

AnandTech’s findings should in no way effect your final opinion on the Galaxy S4, though it does highlight some shady Samsung tactics. It’s likely the Korean company isn’t the only one to fib benchmarking tests, though; the company is just the one that got caught
