Sony Xperia Z2 Philippines Thread

Mabuhay! The official hub of Filipino users here in the z2 general thread! Anyone getting this phone?

Planning to get it. When is it going to be available in stores?

not now maybe z4 or z5

kasi walang budget:'(
Estimated months kailan dadating? Mau z1c na ba sa atin? Wala pa kasi ako nakakkita eh
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

^ expected next month though PH pro'lly get it may-jun. expansys-ph has it on their "coming soon" section already. i've seen the z1 compact on kimstore, cmk & expansys-ph. btw, that language is technically not allowed here, bro
i'm thinking of getting the z2 as well to replace the one on my sig, especially if globe offers this on postpaid. but for me, it's really a toss up between this and the oppo find 7 qhd version - similarly spec'd but bigger (and pro'lly better) screen and a bit more cheaper for the US$599 price tag at launch

Xperia Z1 Compact is now available on Xperia stores. Just saw it yesterday in Megamall.

Yes it is available already. The lady says z2 will be available mid April so I'm gonna wait for it instead.

Oops forgot it sorry my bad. So z1c is here already. So Z2 should be april then.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

It's already available at kim.com.ph but they have yet to respond to my message

I'm planning to get one also thru postpaid plan and I can't wait for it anymore! -excited-

It's delayed till May. Singaporean here.

Yeah unless you get the phone from local telecos here, the phone is delayed till May if you're buying from Sony direct. Local teleco Singtel is launching the phone on 4th April though.
I hope you can get your phone asap DooMLoRD. Need your expertise for this phone haha. Currently a Z user

Local Carriers will retail soon
SingTel will be retailing starting April 4, but with a contract.
Rivals M1 and StarHub hasn't announce their price plans, but would most likely be available on April 5.
If you want the off-contract Z2 with free SmartBand, you may need preorder and to wait till May to get it...

Sony Xperia Z2 Pre-order: http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/tech-news-sony-xperia-z2-available-pre-order

Most probably you will be able to find it in places like mobilesquare if Singtel is available 4 apr

Head to Sony centres to try it out.. The demo set is out. Bugis has all 3 colours

[POLL] what's your next move?

If your going to change your phone what's your next move and why ??

I don't intend to change anytime soon. I'll stay with Z1 for a couple of years.
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

Idk I might give the z2 ago due it costing me nothing to upgrade... By the summer lol, I get yearly upgrades due to cashback deals lol, but migjt wait to see if they make ultra's successor
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

Originally thought I was going to get to the New HTC One but after realizing they didn't really upgrade the camera that's not going to happen. The Z2 isn't much of an upgrade for us yet, I might hold out for the Z3. If only Sony gave us IR Blasters and allowed UB for all devices, I would not want to look elsewhere

Definitely getting the z3
Sent from my Xperia Z1

I will stay on my z1 for a long time now- till it gets really outdated.
I like sony so i will probably get a new SonyXperia Z3 or 4
Im`a gamer so if there is any other phone at that time, with much better specs for gaming i would probably get it. -don`t think so they are(& will probably be) all nearly the same.
But for now-for a couple of good years i will stay on my Z1

Z4 I want to get 2 years out of the z1. Maybe one year on stock, and then over to freexperia when Sony kill z1 support in 12 months.
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

Z3 for me as long as there's a 32gb variant
Sent from my C6906 using Tapatalk

I waited for z2 but now have to wait until May.
I just ordered a note 3 instead. It should arrive at home today after work.
Then 18/24 months see what sony brings out.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

so, where's the pool?
Joking, yeah, i'll get the z3 and AFTER a few months, not on launch like my other xperias

Probably Z3...... Or let's see what the iphone 6 brings...

Stuck with my contract for the next 18months but will probably get the next Sony flagship that's out at the time I can upgrade
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

Based on Sonys release cycle, I predict a Z3 by August, so that will be my next upgrade
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

Z3 august or iphone 6 September or may just wait even longer for the Z4 jan.

Just got it (used), upgrading from an LG Optimus G
The only reason I upgraded was because of the water resistance, so I don't expect to change in the near future. Performance wyze, the LG OG was already prety good, it's just that LG sucks on updating.
Doesn't seems to be the case with Sony, so I'll probably keep it until my contracts end and I get an upgrade (in 18 or so months)

We don't really need these topics!!! Why people write this stuff, better write something usefull about the Z1, that's what I think

Currently happy with my Z1. Though I'm waiting for the Z3/Z4.
One thing I would like to see is NO FLAPS but still IP58 certified.

The Reason for the delay

So I wonder, what's causing this delay in the Z2 launch? Which component is in shortage? Don't you all wonder the same? I'm sure if all of us discuss we can get to the bottom of this.
You can take a good look at all the internal here.
Points to be considered :
1. Its not Qualcomm.
2. Each and every part except for the IPS panel, 3GB RAM and 16GB internal memory is manufactured by Sony. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
3. It cannot be the internal storage as Galaxy S5 ships with the same.
So it has to be either the 3GB RAM from Samsung, probably that's why they didn't include it in their own flagship. Or the IPS panel. To me, it seems more of the RAM issue. What about you guys?

That's already said - it's IPS panel.
Try to search a bit, there was article about that with a link to source.

Not according to Vodafone UK. although I'll only believe it 100%when I have the phone in my hands next week lol.

You'll have to Google it...
Can't remember where I saw that but I know it was on XDA.
But it was said that it'll be postponed but or limited edition will be released with panels they have or they will have.
So I guess it's not problem in manufacturing but most likely it's just factory capacity problem...
There was some rumors Sony won't stayed on IPS for Z2 because of that but I don't believe in that...

I have read somewhere on youtube that a guy sent an email to sonymobile and they said the reason is that they didn't expect the high demand of the phone

Hahaha Well that's certainly true too.
Now I just hope Sony doesn't release a Z3 in August. -_-
Z2X with a snapdragon 805 and 2k display would be better! - Wikipedia suggests it'll be a Z2X.

Well mine is still slated for 15th April so no delays on mine from Tele2 Sweden which should be considered a major partner to Sony
