One problem though, my android version is still 4.2.2 it should have a 4.3 update. I am thinking is has something to do with Smart locking since it is under smart postpaid plan.

Got mine at Alimall and Megamall after 3 weeks of waiting. Try to reapply in small and unfamous malls like Alimall and you will get your unit in an instant.

Sir ask ko lang din, na koconsume mo ba yung data capped na 1.5gb? totoong bang bababa yung speed nya up to 200+ Kbps, ok lang sana kung baba sya ng mga 3mbps, pero yung ganong kababa, ay grabe, kulang kasi sa detailed yung fup ng smart, sinasabi lang dun reduced speed, di man lang sinabi kung gaano kababa..tsk tsk

For those who applied last December, do you guys already got your Z1 from Smart? It’s been already a month already since I applied and still no phone. This is incredibly frustrating already since I also needed the Internet.

@Josh, the offer prior to today’s post was 1200 free if its under 30 mos lock in as posted by Abe. They changed it today or last night as I checked yesterday free pa din sya. That is why I am complaining kasi madaya sila changing the promo when they saw the demand for z1.

Went to smart this weekend and they are unaware of the promo so no sales pa then today they removed plan 1200 free z1 with 30 mos lock in and changed the ad. Booo! False advertisement!!! Sabi sa hotline magpakita daw ako ng print screen, anyone has one?

amazing that the Z1 is water resistant but specs wise i’ll still chose the LG G2. hope that LG can make a water resistant phone soon with the G2’s features!

I’ve visted a Smart wireless center yesterday just to check kung when ang release ng Z1 the Customer rep told me na hindi nila alam according to their marketing dept

Just a suggestion :

Please dont post advert from a crap company who didn’t even know what they are doing nawawala kasi yung credibility ng website na katulad nito at nakakafrustrate lng if Smart is a crap company please dont ride the bandwagon

sayang eh

Not worth it, 30 month lock in? Thats over 3 years! you are far better to buy the phone and just use prepaid LTE monthly


Reply

Mehganun · 12 years ago

Sure ka over 3 years? Hmmmm

If you will use prepaid lte monthly that would be almost 24,000 for two years. Plus cost of the phone pag prepaid around 24,000 din. Minimum cost for having z1 and 2 years on lte will be 48,000 (roughly 2000 per month for the phone and lte service for 2 years). If u got it on all in plan 1200, you can have 200 consumable per month and 30 months of lte, it will cost you 36,000 for 30 months. Cost-wise, mas sulit mag all in plan 1200. Pero if some new phone comes up, you’ll have to wait a little longer (and be stuck with that phone for at least 30 months). Kung ikaw yung tipong nagsasawa na sa phone after 1 year or less, don’t get a postpaid plan (exception: globe’s iphone forever plan). Pero kung mapagtiya-tiyagaan mo ang isang phone for 24 to 30 months, edi get a plan instead. You’ll end up saving more by letting telcos shoulder the cost of the device

Word of Caution. Lahat ng top-end Xperia models , prone sa overheating. Even during moderate tasks like browsing and phone calling. Ni-root ko last month yung Z1 ng bayaw ko so first hand talaga I can attest to it.

Overheating dramatically decreases the efficiency and overall lifespan of the battery

Huwag magpapadala sa marketing gimmick ng SONY. Avoid these Xperia handsets at all cost

Xperia V was also very hot when using LTE unlike the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE which was just so cool as an access point for Globe LTE

Yun nga ang purpose ng pagiging water resistant niyan, pag nag-ooverheat na, ilublob mo na sa tubig.

It looks like the Google Nexus 5 will be offered in similar plans. A bummer IMO, but nothing we can do about it. It is now a choice between a phone with good resistance to the elements and a good camera…to one with a clear upgrade path and no bloatware…tough choice?

Nung last ako pumunta sa Mall banda dito, wala gaano pumupunta sa Sony Mobile Store, ewan ko kung bakit. Kumpara sa ibang mobile store andami. Ehehe.

Hi! Here’s my humble entry. :)

Kahit na cheap ang ginamit kong video camera sa sobrang labo (Nokia 5320). I made pa rin para ilabas ko yung idea ko.

Wag naman sanang okrayin pati yung video editing, eh sa 5320 Phone ko rin yan inedit eh. :)
