This is not the fastest anymore since lumabas na ang Z Ultra

Disadvantages: 720p only, same display weakness of faded colors on different viewing angles

 

[chocowilliam]

May upcoming 1020p fix. Dko pa alam kung kelan. Sa mga updates, I'll post them later.

 

[Statin89]

Sino ng meron nito? Review naman po sa advantage at disadvantages nya. Planning to buy it sa december. Thanks

 

[Nightdeath]

Please give a review! Bibili ako nito sa October kapalit ni Xperia Ray ko.

Guys, ung mga may unit dyan, pahingi ng review sa waterproofing nito, sa processing power kasi eh wala na akong problema dahil nakahawak naman na ako ng Xperia Z (Same specs).

EDIT: May user na nagrequest na sana daw nasa first page lahat ng tweaks, rooting, tips etc. Since bihira naman bumisita si TS dito, dadagdagan ko nalang ung post ni sir themonyo na nasa taas.

Got My ZR Last Friday, and here is my review

Physical Aspects :
Karamihan sa nagbigay ng review sa phone na to, ang sabi nila, wala daw premium feel ung device kasi plastic ung likod (unlike sa Z na glass), well, para sakin, premium ang device na ito, kahit matte plastic ung likod eh maganda parin hawakan, plus, ung front and side angles nito ay maganda ding tignan (parang Z na lumobo ng unti).

Ung Flap Covers, sa headphone, sakin super hard to open (kahit may kuko ka pa), pero ung USB cover eh medyo madaling buksan which reminds me of some users sa XDA na nag-o-auto open ung USB cover flap nila (I think dahil laging stressed/used ung rubber lock ng flap), I bought a charging dock so hindi ko masyadong binubuksan ung USB cover.

About the buttons, medyo nakakatakot pindutin ung power button, parang masisira pag medyo malakas ung pushing force, pero pagdating sa volume at camera buttons, maganda siyang i-press, may pagka-solid feel ba.

Water test? apat na beses ko nang pinaliguan ung phone ko, at ok parin, under water test? check

this

kaka-upload ko lang kanina, take note, pwedeng magplay ng sounds kahit sa ilalim ng tubig, I just muted the volume kasi nakakatakot masiraan ng speaker (although sa ibang nag water test, wala namang naging problema sa speaker).

Software :

When I bought this item naka 4.1.2 ang firmware niya, smooth ang transition everywhere (super minor lags, pag meron). Now nag-upgrade ako sa 4.2.2 (OTA update), and still, smooth parin ang phone na ito, medyo inii-stabilize ko pa ung battery nitong phone kasi medyo mabilis pa maubos (although ngayon eh tumagal na ng one day and still counting at may more than 60% battery life pa, minimal usage).

Gaming? Solve, malakas ang Adreno 320 at Quad Core at 2GB Ram sa gaming, tried games?
Dungeon Hunter 4, Dead Trigger, (on queue, NBA 2K14, NOVA 3,)

===============================================================

So far yan lang muna masasabi ko, kung may questions kayo regarding this phone, just post and I'll try to answer it.

 

[sharkb8]

sir pano ka nagupdate to 4.2.2 e kasi sakin nakalagay "your device already has the latest available system updates" pero 4.1.2 parin ung sa akin

 

[mith]

OTA lang ginamit ko bro, hmm, kahit ba sa PC eh ganun din? kasi kung hindi ako nagkakamali eh on-going ang pagbibigay ng 4.2.2 update eh (ung walkman at movies app na bago eh wala parin sakin, album app lang ang additional na update pagka 4.2.2 ko. Hintay hintay lang siguro bro, o kaya pag talagang gusto mo na ng 4.2.2 eh mag flash kanalang ng downloaded 4.2.2 stock rom para sa cellphone mo, just take note of the different versions of ZR (C5502, C5503)

dito ako tatambay,,,3 weeks ko na gamit zr ko,,,happy na ito cp ko ngayon hehe

Bro, may nakuha ka na bang update sa mga media applications mo?

 

[Statin89]

Sir magkano bili mo sa ZR mo? Thanks

 

[Nightdeath]

Sir magkano bili mo sa ZR mo? Thanks

18,880 sa HotGadgets, sa Kimstore nasa 16,700 nalang ata, sa WidgetCity hindi ko sure kung nagbaba na sila from 19,180,
mag 3 weeks na sakin ang phone ko, so far so good parin

 

[sharkb8]

oo pre kahit sa pc nakalagay dun na nasa latest firmware daw yung xperia zr(C5503) ko, gusto ko n din iroot tong akin kasi halos 5gb lng usable space akala ko 8gb talaga para matransfer ko n mga apps ko sa sd card ko

Bro, kung gusto mo na talaga mag 4.2.2, pwede ka naman mag download ng stock 4.2.2 for C5503 tapos i-flash mo using flash tool, kasi on the way palang ang lahat ng 4.2.2 updates ng XZR eh, and don't worry about flashing, walang masamang mangyayari sa phone mo as long as stock firmware ang i-faflash mo

Bro, 4.3 lang ata ang sure for ZR, medyo alanganin ang 4.4 (from GSMArena), anyways, about rooting, halos lahat ng nagtatanong tungkol diyan eh VRoot ang sagot (Never looked for it though, ineenjoy ko pa kasi ang stock, hehe)

uxta nmn po ang zr ntn jan .. nkapag transfer na po ba kau ng games nyu sa external memory nyu?

Ang current solution for transfering game data sa SD Card is FolderMount, wala pa nga lang ako masasabi tungkol dun kasi hindi pa ako nag ro-root
