Stick to your Z Ultra until the new version arrive

[macrostr]

Hi,
I smash my ZU screen 2 months ago, I was in a hurry and there is no ZU on the stock here so I buy a LG G3. That device is rock solid specs, roms, community is really good but can not feel comfortable with it. You can see lots of people out there using the same device. I give to my dad and go for an nexus 6. I'm using it for 3 weeks. Most of you know the device no need to tell about it but it is thick and bulky. Ne feel of premium device. Early updates are good but buggy. I use it but I don't love it. LG G Line, Sammy S and Note Line are all good devices, all you can fine well cookeded roms for them like CM variants, AOSP variants. But it is same for the Z Ultra too.

Last night I see the broken ZU on the desk, take it on my hands. It feels sooooo slick, premium and special. As a fellow ZU buddy of you, my advice is just stick to your beast-giant-premium ZU. Other devices are bad but only the waste of time for a ZU user. Only alternative for me is rumored Z5 Ultra for know. I beleive we'll is in in next 4 months may be sooner.

Just want to share

Im using the Z3 compact tablet whilst waiting for the new ultra. However, I fear that now the new Ultra will be too small for me.

Isn't that 14cm wide? Just too big for a pocket...

I have to agree with you. My ZU touch screen was not working. I bought a C5 ultra. I thought they share the similar spec. But it can't replicate the premium feel on the hand.

How do you find the Xperia C5? I like the look of the super slim bezels. How do you find the camera performance - it is the only issue I ever had with my ZU.

If your really a ZU lover you always have 2 on hand! Can always find one under $300

Slow camera launch and shutter speed. Other than that I have no issue, I am not nit-picky about the colour accuracy and low light performance. However, I do notice that photo can be blurry if my hand shakes a little bit. I think it is because the camera module does not have optical image stabilization.

Heheee I feel you buddy. Don't give up on this 6.4' beautiful monster. 4 months of ZU use and I wouldn't trade off for no 2015 device yet, 2 years since release and this [email protected] still feels rock solid and commands respect among equals!
Now waiting for Xperia Z 5 Ultra : A better camera with LED Flash, Less bezels &more battery juice maybe!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I have my ZU for almost 2 years now (January 2014) and I've started looking for alternatives. Besides screen size (anything smaller than 6" is too small), the thickness (or thinness) is very important to me. In that area, there is no quality competition.

The Xperia C5 is too thick, the X5 Premium is close, but a bit thicker and the screen is under 6".

There are phones from other makers, like the Huawei P8 max, but they don't have the beautiful Xperia design and feel. Somehow they feel like an augmented phone while the ZU really looks like something that is designed to be like this from the beginning, balanced and well proportionate in its size.

So, just like you guys, still no solution. I'll keep the ZU for now, just bought a new USB flap for it. And if something breaks, I think I'll buy the same model on eBay.

Two years I've had my Z ultra. I love this thing, best $600 I ever spent on a phone. At the time I was considering a note 3 or the Z ultra in the Z ultra with 100 bucks cheaper. So glad I didn't go with the note 3.

By the way, where do you buy a new USB flap?

There is plenty of them on aliexpress.com

This handset isn't getting Marshmallow, so no.

Bought mine a month after it was originally released, still going strong.

Love ZU

Loving it still after many years. Kept it on 4.4.4 stock with root only. Won't change until Sony makes another like it. :fingers-crossed:
