The Z3 compact On KitKat did that It can lasted 4 days without power saving mod on GSMA test

Cmon man even s6 had broken glass backs but no one bats an eye! i dont think these things are real becoz my own friend has Z2 and he dropped it many times but still no scratch! no crack! (only fingerprints are there!)

How are the MDR 1R and its brothers in terms of sound?

One may be for mono speaker? Other two for stereo Headphones?

Well we have IM70s in Amazon India selling for 5000 inr (80$ approx) This is japan Import BTW!

Amazon?

Its Audio Technica IM70

Maybe we should let ifixit to do the honours of showing Z5's Motherboard. We can see naked chips then! 

Which will be best DAC-Amp for z3 if someone wants a little warm sound with wide soundstage with Sony MDR7506?

Can a headphone DAC/Amp improve Z3 audio quality even furthur? or it will just make it loud?(i am talking about USB DAC)

Sorry to say NO!

Sony can compromise on processor by using MTK chips if they wish to add S Master chip. BTW recent sony phones have shown loud output from headphones like xperia m5

They are doing great job BTW but for other people who dont a damn about SQs, soundstage blah blah... They care about features which are "blah" "blah" to us. P.S.: The S-Master amps have a lot of problems with heat and power. They can be very power consuming and combined with cell radio chips and...

He did review of Vivo X5 Max vs Xperia Z3 He found Vivo x5 max better than z3. The review states that z3 is pretty amazing but sounds half dead as compared to X5 max. Vivo sounds RICH and fuller and can drive most of his headphones. So 5 extra chips were worth it! I now seriously think what...

I wanted Walkman A17/A15 due to its slim body and very good audio quality. But i will prefer japan import because Japanese imported Walkman doesn't have volume cap and output will be excellent.

LOL i am not that rich!! I will wait for price drop in India as i told you about our beautiful tax system (about 44% tax) I will buy it after reading audio review in what hifi. I will not review it because last time i hear Z3, people were laughing as i was literally dancing there. (Was...

In Same site Z3 never had hi res written on its specs but z5 has Check it Z3 http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z3-6539.php Z5 http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z5_premium-7536.php BTW Chrome color of z5 premium is killing me!!

Hmm its strange! Z5 family are the only phones in GsmArena in which Hi Res Audio feature is written!

BTW Z5 Premium is a heavy phone ~180 Grams LOL it is heavier than my fatty xperia Mini Pro and lumia 920! Must be Stainless steel instead of Aluminium (As Sony says it has Stainless Steel Frame0 

LOL

I do have a bad digital drawing BTW. (It was made by me!)

I will try to explain what Sony did in their 4K lcd (This is my judgement after looking z5 4k display under microscope by gsmarena)

Its a pleasure to have a good reply otherwise some stupid people have been complaining that what is the use of 4K Screen then. These guys will also complain if Sony would have gone for 4K only resulting in poor battery life.

I cant wait for full z5 teardown and its whathifi full audio review!! It will give me another excuse to buy z5 BTW sony has used dynamic resolution display. The display actually shows full hd but it changes to 4K when needed like watching 4K movies or pics Thats smart cause of great battery life...

So samsung is a classic example of having good DAC but not as good sound.
