Gurrala, screen is the worst part I could find on the 720.![[embarass]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Embarass.gif "Embarass [embarass]")
217 pixels are just too low. Enough for the price.

I think Gurralla is talking about the brightness part and viewing angles and you are talking about resolution .
By the way the 217 pixels are bad and low compared to what buddy ? Can you explain how much pixels are in a xperia L and galaxy grand dear ?
If iam not mistaken they come in price range of lumia 720 right ?
You have a Nissan sunny right ? Do you think its fair to compare it with Chevy cruze and skoda Laura ?
loool I feel to reply.
You are right, but I'm comparing it with S3.
BTW I thank Raja, or I might have went for 820.![[lol]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Laugh.gif "Laugh [lol]")
Gurrala too.;)

Ideally you must compare it with the 920 .
Compare the 720 with the phones that come in the price brand of 15,000-18,000 and then we will talk .
And before buying you allways knew that the resolution will be 217 right ? Or you came to know after you bought it ?
And Btw when will you post pics of your phone ? Click some pics from your s3 and show us your moms phone .
@ Nitin
Buddy when is the review of xperia Z tablet coming from you buddy ?
review is gonna take time, cant get my hands off the tablet

great that you are enjoying it .cant stop talking about it - its gorgeous. light, simple design that oozes a premium feeling. Love how the screen blends into the borders when turned off ( some may call it a black slati but i give a damn ). If there was a manufacturer who knew how to use plastic properly, it would be Sony. Flaps are annoying sometimes( till the time i get used to whats hidden where) , but then its a tradeoff one would expect for waterproofing. Compared to the 10.1" samsung note, ipad, ipads, nexus 10 etc etc, the XTZ's design oozes out.
Colours are accurate, viewing angles are superb and the screen isn't particularly reflective. Bravia engine 2 makes watching videos a pleasure, and comparing screens with the samsung tabs etc etc , the XTZ arguably has the best screen amongst them all in terms of colour accuracy and viewing angles.
There were issues which i read in other forums mentioning that screen was over sensitive. Sony was proactive and had released an update on june 9th which sorted this issue. But i must add, the screen isn't completely "frictionless" like the iPad. I went into detail and the issue lies in the shatter proof film + screen cover which covers the screen. The shatter proof skin costs a bomb as per Sony and they have installed it for a reason. If one removes that and installs a glossy screen cover, the tab becomes super smooth. But i am not gonna do that. also am not a fan of glossy screen covers and i prefer the mat ones but yes the brightness suffers with them.
The stock launcher leaves a lot to be desired.Also the layout is changed as compared to my droid razr and the samsungs. anyways this can be sorted out with the abundance of launchers in play store. Apps do load quickly and animations are zippy with no hint of stutter. Games like subway surfers, real racing, asphalt 7 run very smoothly. WiFi is good. catches signals from far away places as well :p:
The XTZ has two down facing speakers on the bottom of the tablet on the left and right side, and two more speakers facing outwards on the bottom left and right of the tablet. Together, they pump out a lot of sound. Speakers are quite loud and clear, which is a welcome break from the tradition of crap speakers on tablets. This design pretty much ensures that it's almost impossible to entirely cover all speakers at once when holding the tablet, and it makes watching movies quite immersive with the powerful audio.
The tablet has an Exmor R IMX111 sensors for the camera which i will test later.
I'll comment on the battery life after a few days since today is Day 0 :p:
It works as a remote for my tv's. am yet to check my dvd but this is a pleasant feature. gonna scare many of my friends by switching off their tv;s :p: Its a dedicated app which you can place anywhere and/or use while doing anything, multitasking at its best :)
its an excellent piece of hardware, well worth the buy at 27k, It is retailing @ 42k plus for the cellular version but its a pity that you cant make calls with it and the wifi model has not been launched in india for which i think Sony missed a trick. But then like apple, they are catering to a different segment all together and if you have sources in US etc, get it from there.
Probably the best Android tablet you can get in the market now. I will give the tablet a 4.5/5, and overall a great job by Sony.
pics coming tommorrow.

something has gone horribly wrong with my droid razr, maybe my nokia rants had an effect on gods and they want me to suffer
i charge it at night and when i wake up battery is at 93%, a 7% discharge in about 8 hours which is reasonable. from the last few days its at 53% when i wake up.
have checked all battery apps and cant find any faulty app. seems system is the main culprit.
now planning to take a factory reset but before that will back up all my sms's. apps and all are already safe with titanium backup.
hope the issue is only a faulty app else i will have to shift to another mobile. damn to these unforeseen expenses.
edit, let me this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en
lets see if i can find the reason before i do a factory reset,

for your vintage mate !!as i always say, issues can happen to any brand any make, any body etc , mortality rawks else we wont buy anything new and our economy will go down the drain :p:
this phone has served me for 2 good years and unless i find the reason for this battery drain, i wont sleep
if i have to change, i will buy HTC one or S3/S4 CDMA versions. pity that indian cdma operators do not think of us and mobile companies are busy in only releasing GSM handsets in India. Are there any better suggestions for CDMA, please do post,

Hahahahahahaha Nitin Can't stop laughing on this buddy and it made me remember those days of corporate connection which was always CDMA of reliance and was due to the reason we had a landphone which was a complementary from reliance where all reliance to reliance calls are free
