@Oogamous
I actually meant if the pre-applied screen protector get scratches easily and thanks for the answer. I guess I need to buy another scratch guard on top of the screen protector, when I buy the ZU, like what you did.
With the additional screen/scratch protector applied though, did it make any big difference on the performance of the screen? I mean from both the quality of the screen(picture, videos, color, ect.) and from the sensitivity of the touchscreen to pen/pencil/stylus? Since technically there's 2 screen protectors on it. Thanks. |

@rraz9228: Nope, The additional screen protector has not made any noticeable difference in performance of the touch screen sensitivity... it is still silky smooth. Pen/Pencil/Stylus use is also great.
Sony all the way |

How's the screen holding up from scratches? Since it will allow you to use pen/pencil to write notes on the screen, does it get scratches from doing that or not?
Thanks for any information.
I bought another screen protector as double protection on my Ultra. Incase it got scratches, i can easily replace it with another one and keeping the preinstalled one scratch free.

@Oogamous and luwi
Thanks for the replies. The Z Ultra should be available in the US on Oct 14 and I can't wait to get my hands on it. |

TBH I see already very thin and light scratches, but only in sunlight or under light. I am bewildered a bit, cause I have used it only few times with pencil no pen. But I see already some small scratches. Looks like the foil is very thin... But it doesn't disturb me, am just a bit dissapointed.
@all
I like the Ultra a lot, the screen is just amazing! Big and you don't get enough!  The design is the best ever! Very premium feeling!  I miss only the LED flash.  I am so reliant of it. I need LED everyday... I'm thinking to give up Ultra only because of this...

I'll continue using my MEGA I think. Damn, the MEGA feels so crap in compare to Ultra... Plastic vs Aluminumglass 
There is no other interesting device for me as next...  I'd only take note3, but 5,7" are too small now...
Or can I stick somehow an LED on Ultras backside? With on off button...?

@King-James
Thanks for your input. The LED is not a deal breaker for me, so base on that I will probably enjoy it a lot too. |

Unfortunately I've given my Ultra back... After one week using I must say, it's a bit big for me, 6" would be perfect. Also I am missing a lot the LED flash on the back...
Otherwise a very nice super processed device with premium feeling! Hope this device will get next year a successor.

makes sense. the ultra is only good if you are carrying a purse or a bag all the time. in other words, a good phone mostly for girls.  it's quite annoying that sony chose to go with a 6.4 inch phone. safer bet would be to start with a new z line in 5.5-6 inch (6 inch while trying to keep minimal bezel and phone pocketable also when sitting...). what sells more? 6.4 inch phone or 5.5+ inch phone which is still pocketable? answer is easy... but sony tries to differentiate themselves, ok, that's good, understandable...
so what about a new a bit smaller line sony? no, the news says that "sony ordered new displays in 5 inch and 6.5 inch", so... our wish probably will have to wait at least hehe... so safe to say(only my prediction) "z ultra 2" will have 6.5 inch... an average pocketable size doesn't exist in sony's eyes for 2014? see how successful the note is. and i don't see the note compromising on it's camera quality and a led flash despite its size and that it's a different line then the galaxy s, unlike the ultra. yes, the ultra is ultra thine, water proof, etc. fantastic, but when you can't sit while your phone is inside your pants pocket then its less appealing to most i think.

G'day Z Ultra owners. Having given up my Z1 dreams, I have decided I will be jumping into a Z Ultra for my next phone. I hope to pick it up sometime this month and will be picking up that power cover above (whenever the frack it's available in Canada). I look forward to my new phone and reading more impressions from y'all until then! |
