  1. 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.


    • Cherry fanboy tlga oh.
      puro kontra di naman magaling.
      Shabu pa!


    • basa basa din pag may time.


    • hahahaha!! too bad i have one and its much better
      than the note 2 and the iphone 5!!


    • palibhasa sanay lang sa cheap samsung with unrealistic colors, lol


    • 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!


    • @rain i apologize in behalf of abuzalzal, he just do it because he cant accept the fact that he can only afford cherry mobile phones;not sony,not samsung,not apple nor huawei.


    • 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.


    • Sus kau nman di ba niyu nagets ibig sabihin ni abu, hindi tft ang gusto nia, d rin amoled ang cp display nia, super high tech cellfon po nia kasi ang touchscreen display po nia ay CRT at ang batery ay motolite 4sm, at ang keypad ay pc keyboard. Oh ano laban kau ke abuzalzal!


  2. Will wait for the battery test of this one. If it can give more than 8 hours of web browsing then i am totally sold!


    • 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. :)


  3. sony really knows how to create visual ads + cool music… :)

    Z1 tignan natin image quality ng camera and battery tests..


  4. nice phone .d 2loy ako mkapili if samsung galaxy note 3 or e2..


  5. ????????? ??????????? ? ??????. ?????? ?? ?????.
    ??????????? ?????????? ????????? ??????????? ? ?????? ? ??????? ?? ?????. ???? ?????????? 1 ????. 6 ??? 4000, 1 ??? 6000, ????????? 16 000. ?????? ???????? ??. ?????? ? ??????????? ???? ??????? ? ??????????. ??? ? ?????? ( 846) 267-21-85, 8-927-728-34-57 ?????? ????????????.


  6. please help me activate the internet settings sa globe on my xperia z1 phone.
