Too bad here in singapore we're still not seeing any good deals yet. that $100 gift card from amazon was a pretty great deal, just a bit short-lived. :/

Thanks! Yeah. I really wished that the prices were closer to the US pricing. But at least it's not as bad as in India. :'(

When it first came out I didn't think it was particularly worth it. Cause here in Singapore, there was a markup on the price, and we can get phones like the Mi9 and honor view 20 here easily. But after using it for a week, I'm sold. This is the Pixel I've wanted Google to make for a while now...

They're actually pretty good at monthly patches. Just the major updates. KeyOne hasn't gotten Oreo as far as I know. Just rumours here and there, and beta program? The Priv was notoriously bad too. haha. Version updates a few months after Google does would be more than good enough. Hopefully...

Crackberry used to my most visited site afterall. haha. It's like crack, you can't help it. I'm clean now though. haha.

After about a week with the phone, here's my written review of the phone for those who don't want to watch the video review. Before I start, here's a bit of background before I get lumped together with reviewers who just doesn't "get" BlackBerry devices. haha. My love for phones started with...

I'm really digging the design too, more so than those glass back phones. Those copper accents on the matte black finish is really awesome!

The device was released here in Singapore about a week ago, and I bought one for review. For those who want to skip the video, basically, it's like a budget nexus. Which is kinda similar to a lot of other android one phones we've already seen. It does nothing spectacular. It just does...

I would say better than most manufacturers. The Nokia 7 Plus got the may security patch, and my mom's Nokia 5 has been running android 8.1 for a while now, and it just got the may security patch too. It has been getting monthly security patches as far as I can remember.

It's sort of somewhere in the middle? It's definitely not as good as good as phones with Apple's taptic engine, or the LG V30, but it's not that rough too. it's very run of the mill I would say.

Here's a side by side comparison. The bezels are bigger on both the top and bottom.

They did. hahaha. It's kinda insane. I think it's in order to keep using the 4K panel like the XZ Premium. It's a 16:9 screen for a new phone in 2018, which is kinda mind-boggling if you ask me. lol

The battery life is better on the XZ2 Compact for sure. Around the same usage, I'm seeing around 1.5 -2 hours more screen on time?

Since it's pretty quiet here (understandably so considering Sony's presence in the US), I thought I'll share my review of the phone here. In particular the XZ2 Compact. No need to watch the video if you don't want to, i'll do a quick summary here. :) Basically, this is the best compact phone...

Bumping up an old thread, but the U11+ was just released in Singapore a week or so ago. Did a review on it too. :)
