Maganda na sana kaso TFT pa rin…yuck…I have seen the Z ultra andiI’m not overly impressed with its screen, washed-out pa rin eh…yung red nagiging orange, yung blue nagiging purple.

LOL@ the fangirls

Triluminous is just SONY’s fancy term for “Much-Improved Xperia Z screen but it still sucks” LMAO

too much kool-aid, kayo magbasa basa pag may time

Bottom of the food-chain ang TFT, tanggapin niyo na kasi na walang kwenta ang technology na ‘to lol

im really tired of criticizing comments that i see on every review websites like this one… they criticize the product as if they already have the actual phone. they are discouraging the people to but the phone. samsung is good, apple is great but sony has always been a good phone manufacturer. just buy what brand or phone you want. wew!

palibhasa ala kang pambili manahimik ka nga kung may alam ka sa technology basa2 din. kaya ginamit ni sony ang TFT para sa waterproof features ng phone, d kaya ng AMOLED o IPS LCD pag naka waterproof. kaya nga gumaya ang samsung sa S4 active nila gamit ang TFT para lang sa waterproof.

I can imagine that it’s the best 5-incher out there in terms of battery life. It’s almost the size of Note 2’s but with a smaller screen. It should provide the best battery performance given that the screen is equally efficient + processors are optimized. :)

WEll, having in mind the size and the hardware, 8 hours of continous navigation maybe is too much, but it would be awesome of course!! http://www.pricepanda.com.ph/sony-xperia-z1-pid1525090/
