Reminds me of a deck chair though. I adored it on note 8 then they did all them weird lines on the back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] hackdrag0n:
Those lines really aren't as bad in person as they seem in photos. They actually make the case quite easy to grip in hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
They're subtle in hand. Look aggressive in pics.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] devilsmack:
Samsung's rugged case is my absolute favorite! To me, it even helps with one-handed reachability! Highly recommended!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jesiah:
I like this one from Samsung:

I'm afraid all the cases with a stand I've foud will add some bulk. :(

I personally use spigen tough armour. May look blocky but good protection and build in kick stand help to overcome that problem. Let's just hope they will release slim armour soon like for last few years...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] vagelis:
I returned the Spigen Tough Armor, and kept the Samsung.

The stand on the Spigen has the volume buttons on the bottom, so you can't change the volume when using the stand with them.

The Samsung can be placed either way, and even in portrait mode.

OEM case hands down, best they released so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
Umm, tough armor can be placed either way too. Don't know how you came to the conclusion it can't. I was kind of skeptical of the OEM Samsung case being in the middle but OLED reflectivity made that a non issue. I used my V20 in my tough armor case mostly and the offset stand came in handy depending on chair and if I slouched or not. Being offset made it user adjustable basically.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] hackdrag0n:
It can but I don't see why most people would want such a shallow angle. I've owned Slim Armor cases for at least half a dozen of my phones and I've never once used the stand like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Semantics:
It's all relative. I bought 9 cases for my Note 9 totaling well over 150 dollars in the past year trying to find the right one. I'd rather spend 40 on one case and never have to worry about it again. It's not cheap, but I've not seen one better in stores.

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

The tough armor packs the kickstand on the bottom right side of the phone while looking at it. If you were to try to use the kickstand with the volume buttons facing up the phone is laying nearly flat lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
Yes. Good position if you're sitting at a desk and looking down as if you were reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
I ordered this as it was really cheap, just 8.99. It's called the Orzero TPU + PC Hybrid Dual Layer Case, and I love it! The ring in back rotates so if can prop up the phone in both directions although landscape is pretty shallow. It doubles as a device to allow for one-handed operation by sticking a finger through the ring, freeing up the thumb to wander anywhere without worrying about dropping your phone. Downside: made of metal, can't use wireless charger with it on. I use it when I leave home and am not going to charge wirelessly anyways. I bought another case with no stand for when I'm at home.

Edit: Photo won't upload! ?

at first, it didn't look good alone in the package when I was checking it out at bestbuy, but they had some marked down open box. So i picked up one, it actually looks great now with the phone in it, :) seemed to give some protection to the phone and have a stand...
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Tudor M:
Hello fellas,

I was looking at the specs of the XZ3's main camera compared to the XZ1, and hardware-wise, they seem to be the same.

I see that XZ3 has some AI functions and processing as an advantage and I was wondering:

Couldn't Sony just upgrade the processing of the photos for the XZ1 series along with the Android Pie that will come?

*I know that this is not their main focus, it's just a matter of "respect" for the customers with good HW and sh*tty SW for the camera. :)

Take care! :D
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Aftab_khatri:
Camera is same 19mp i think. Snapdragon. 835 no slouch
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] nreuge:
Camera processing has already been greatly improved for the XZ2, making it one the best photophone of 2018...

And as the XZ2, XZ3 has the powerful SoC S845...
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Pandemic:
Exactly bro and xz2 and xz3 have same camera, only xz3 have another camera ui because Android P
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Tudor M:
835 is not as good as 845, I get it.

How about the Mate 10 Pro taking better pictures? Or other phones with an even worse CPU compared to SD835?

I don't think that it's a CPU "limitation"....
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Tudor M:
Sorry, my bad. There were 2 words missing from my post that might've been a little misleading.

In my post, I want to know if the XZ3's main camera is the same as the XZ1's main camera. I forgot to mention that, so maybe that's why some of you referred to the CPU comparison.

Not only if the main camera is the same, but if you think that there is still hope for the XZ1's camera to take better pictures than it is doing right now, with a little help from the newly coming Android Pie(maybe they include some image processing there also).

Fingers crossed.

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Pandemic:
No its not the same, only xz2 and xz3 are the same ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Tudor M:

1. Where do you have the data from? :D

2. They look pretty similar to me.(not 100%, I agree)

3. The XZ1 does not have a 13MP front facing camera, that's for sure, but out of the discussions's scope. :D
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] serajr:
Both XZ1 and XZ3 words in my post are links pointing out to the sony specifications pages ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] tomo100brt:
Yes it has. Sony XPERIA XZ1 has 13 MPX front facing camera. Your data is false. Check informations again. XZ1 Compact, XZ2 Compact and XZ2 have 5 MPX front facing camera.

From XZs main camera is the same only on XZ2 Compact and XZ2 camera software processing is much better.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] miker71:
i think autofocus may be improved from "what - about half a second" on the XZ2 to "0.03s" on the XZ3 which would seem like an improvement. i'm hoping this brings video autofocus closer to the speed of the galaxy S8 and oneplus6 which are basically instant in adequate light.

https://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/xperia-xz3/specifications/#gref

"Predictive Hybrid Autofocus (0.03s)"
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] eelpout:
while the camera module might be the same (though there is some talk that the lenses have been improved) the big difference is in the new Spectra 280 ISP that's part of the SD 845. Sony apparently helped design it. There is a noticeable improvement in the XZ2 over the XZ1. I would expect the XZ3 to be pretty much the same.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] MurroFX:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] SXS-Groovemaster:
Viper4Android speaker enhancements makes nice difference but still compared to my other half's Mate 10 Pro, the Sony is like a little kid screaming in a room full of deep chested adults.

Plus the OLED screen of the Mate 10 is awesome! and the camera is sooo much better too.

So anyway, my question, is Sony not bothered with speakers and all about the headphones because I don't think I've ever heard of a single Sony smartphone having a half-decent bassy speaker! :confused:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] NightOrchid:
Your XZPremium has an 807 PPI 4K HDR Triluminous LCD screen, wayyyy better than any *****y Samsung or LG..

You do know that in settings > Sound.. theres an EQ under "Audio Settings".... IMO, I think the Speakers sound ok on our XZP...

They sound better on the newer XZ2 and better again on the XZ2 Prem.... and probably improve on the new XZ3...

Camera wise... Meh, SONY have never followed the trend, theyve always stuck with their own "quirky" f2.0 / 5-way EIS cameras.. which suffer badly in low light, but are actually pretty good in daylight, which, incidentally hasnt been upgraded since the original XZ... still using the IMX400, even on the newer XZ2 and XZ2 Prem.

The secret to an Xperia camera is... keep it in Manual Mode, Metering set to "SPOT" or "Centre weighted" and the ISO at 50 - 200. You should be fine. Although I must admit, Superior Auto isnt bad these days, and when your taking a shot.. frame your shot first, then focus and shoot quickly... dont keep focussing all the time before you shoot.. as you get camera shake... obviously,

OIS is not the god send of photography you know... you can get some stunning shots taken with EIS stablisation, Pixel XL for example.. Oh and BTW, if you want to take low light photographs, buy a compact camera, dont rely on your phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] SXS-Groovemaster:
Yes, aware of EQ settings, but no amount of software wizardry will upgrade the physical design of the speaker and associated chambers.

The thing that gets me is that Sony has been around for donkeys years, yet they keep flaffing around with fancy looking outer shells and bezels and stereo speakers etc... yet the most basic of things such as a bassy sounding speaker are simply lacking. I have heard the XZ2, and the speaker sound is not that much better than the XZ.

Yes the screen is nice, but hold an XZ outside in daylight next to a Mate 10, and suddenly you then see which screen is the more functional. Same goes for when relying on Google Maps driving in the car during daylight.

The iPhone X sounds amazing on speaker too, as well as having a camera that just works perfectly, snap snap, great pictures, no messing around in settings trying to figure out a manual override for every scene just to get a good picture out of it.

Just don't get why Sony has a problem, with their SLR camera division, their decades of sound-systems experience, yet companies like Apple and Huawei get the most functional things perfect.

I'm an Android fan, love to be in control of my own devices, I guess I'm just not grasping why Sony is flooding the market with new models continuously with newer snapdragons and whatnot yet they still lag in something as basic as the camera and the speaker.

If we don't voice our concerns, they're probably keep wondering why people who actually hang in a shop to buy a phone, actually buy an iPhone or Huawei in the end, well, take a quick picture inside a shop, zoom in, and you'll hand the Sony back to the assistant... or likewise play some music, and the Sony get's blown away by the bass of the other high end phones. The triluminous screen might win some brownie points in the shade of a shop, but stand under a bright light and the Sony goes back to the assistant very quick.

(PS... own personal experience with the other half. I simply believed the reviews raving about the Sony... now I realise what reviews actually rave about and what you actually experience in the real world with real function are two very different things)....

not here to start a war, simply points of concern for I actually am a fan of Sony products in general, but I'm losing faith in their phones very quickly, especially compared to the competition when it comes to the very basics.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Miustone:
Water resistant Speakers will never blow You away. I compared the Galaxy S6 with the S5 and S7 and guess which One was the loudest. I also owned the Axon 7 before the XZP. There are worlds between them but compared to other Water Resistant Devices is the XZP actually pretty loud and well saturated. At least with the latest Firmwares and i i think i optimized out even more out of the Software. Speaker Protection as example is enabled by default to save the speakers while beeing wet from Water. Disabling it allows more output Power but could damage the Speaker if You don't pay attention of the Volume after letting it dive... There are clearly limitations to this Speakers but SONY made a great Job on this Part. Also on the Real Stereo Setup on the Front which has no other OEM besides them...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] SXS-Groovemaster:
I only ever dropped a phone into the loo once and that was over 25 years ago, a Nortel. Not really bothered about extreme waterproofing etc, marketing sure, but in real world not everyone hangs out in a monsoon or surfing the waves with their smartphones or drops them into glass full of water.

Function before form before gimmicks with solid marketing.

Just my 2pence gents, its why google search engine killed the competition, its why Apple have such a big chunk in the smartphone domain.

Pixel 3 has stereo front facing stereo speakers minus the (nasty imo) notch... looks nothing fancy but could be the perfect functional next phone... but indeed I wud prefer to go with Sony, because the brand is what people respect, but only if it keeps its head on straight.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] saved-j:
Think of it next time you'll get under a sudden rain. Think of it next time you'll ride your bike using the phone for the navigation. Think of it next time you'll want to take a shot at the beach and you'll be afraid to come too close because your phone ain't waterproof. Think of it next time you'll have to answer a Very Important Call when you're in the shower and you'll spoil your phone because it's not waterproof and you just couldn't dry the side of your head well enough.

Think of it next time you'll have your phone in a pocket during a hot summer day and it'll get wet from your own sweat.

And yes there's not a single phone loud enough to watch YouTube on a noisy street, so +\- 10% loudness and bass won't make a difference anyway. But there's hundreds cases when being able to not care about the phone getting wet is amazing.

Don't think everyone is having the same use case.

Hey guys! Hope you all are doing well

I wanted to lock my Mi A1's bootloader without losing data , twrp and magisk aren't installed.

Will the fastboot oem lock command work?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] YayJohn:
I dont know if it will but u can try :)

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

but if it doesnt work u can just do this:

enable automatic backuping in the settings and also download google photos (if u dont use it u scub) and wait for it to backup ur photos

its good for backing up ur photos and saving A LOT of storage on ur phone

download the stock rom from here: http://en.miui.com/download-333.html

and download this tool: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=att...kxMTB8ODA3MjUy

decompress the rom even if u dont actually see that anything is inside when u open it from winrar

make sure google backed up everything and if it did then reboot ur phone to bootloader mode and start the tool

click on refresh in the tool and u should see ur phone string

then click on browse and take it to this folder

tissot_images_V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE_20180712.0000.00_8. 0_735823083f\tissot_images_V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE_8.0

matters what u chose it might be just: tissot_images_V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE_8.0

then in the bottom right make sure its clean all and lock

and then press on flash and wait, i heard someone say they bricked their phone when they flashed using miflash because a power outage happend and the proccess stopped so make sure u dont accidentally unplug ur phone from the pc

when finished the phone will auto restart itself and u should be having stock rom

and then in setup restore to ur google backup and then it will download the apps from google play store so it might take a while if u have slow internet connection

if u have any questions I'll be glad to answer them if I can

I think that is not possible . Unlock and lock bootloader equal format data .

So basically I can lock the bootloader through that command but I'll end up with wiped system?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] mar.ur:
Remember that you must have stock recovery and stock system without root when you can lock bootloader . Yes , relock bootloader always format data . Do you remember what happened when you unlock bootloader ?

But you can try this . Do a backup before

https://www.google.pl/amp/s/xdaforu...scussion-bypass-wipe-oem-unlock-t3804406/amp/

Good lack
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] RavinduSha:
you can bypass wiping by pressing and holding "volume -" while executing the command
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] marko.dnb:
Turn the phone into fastboot mode, then connect it to pc

Open cmd from fastboot/platform tools folder

Type:

fastboot devices, to make sure that your device is detected.

Then type

fastboot oem lock - before pressing enter hold the volume down button.

Press enter, keep holding volume down until phone restarts to fastboot.

Release volume down button.

Type:

fastboot reboot.

Voila, you will have locked bootloader without wiping data.

Tried this numerous time and never lost data!

I doubt you're going to find one unless you're willing to do the research and cook one up yourself.
