[Q] Does Xperia Z1 support MHL 2.0?

[Gnubaver]

MHL 2.0 = 60hz = 60 FPS = Gaming Heaven on TV.

MHL 1.0 = 24hz = 24 FPS = Useless for anything other than video playback.

How do you find out if Xperia Z1 have support for 60 FPS/MHL 2.0?

I have a 1.1 adapter, as it doesn't supply enough power to keep the phone going and require something better, I would assume that it support 2.0.

Well, i dont use an adapter, just the cable and its pretty smooth, haven't tried gaming yet so i don't know

I'll check and tell you later

Are you using that at the same time as charging the phone?

it needs to power the adapter and the phone apparently.

The Galaxy S4 has MHL 2.0, so i would guess that the Z1/ZU/Z2 does also have 2.0. But that's just guessing though.

 

[Xajel]

in WMC there was demonstration of MHL 3.0, supporting 4K and 10W charging... and guess what ?

It was done with Xperia Z1 and Sony 4K TV...

Even if it does not.. it's a matter of Software update I guess...

I buyed one at aliexpress.com but the micro adapter was too big. Apparenty only for Samsung because it's fits in my wife's S3.

How is that possible? Everything uses microUSB

Well, dunno for this adapter, but it's possible...
I have a car charger that worked fine for my Xperia S, but it's too loose for the Z1, have to hold it a certain way to get contact.

Since the Z1 is a USB2.0 device (due to connector, not chipset), I would be surprised if you could squeeze 4K out of it. I'm no expert though, and I don't know exactly how MHL works so I may be wrong.

Actually the z2 also has usb 2.0 but i really doubt that z1 supports mhl 3.0 and if it does reallg support ill be more than just happy..

I can confirm that Xperia Z1 have MHL 2.0, I have been in contact with the people who develops the MHL Technology, and they can assure me that it uses 2.0

According to this link , they used xperia z1 for the demonstration, can anyone confirm the Xperia Z1 does support MHL 3.0 ?

Well i saw it like this.. @zhuoyang posted the same source that I saw...

 

[hermman]

Yep, you need a mhl adapter for galaxy s I believe. The newer ones like for galaxy S3 or Note 2 do not fit.

Samsung model that works very good: EIA2UHUNBE , I can play Deadtrigger 2 on my hdtv using my PS3 controller pretty fluently...

Tried a cheap ebay one too and experienced choppy image on the TV.
