OP didn't day anything about his gs2 he is just sharing the information on a open forum. You shouldn't tell him what to do! I'm sure he is old enough to make his own choices.

and a lambo is faster than a golf...
xperia x has a different resolution so it has a bigger pixel density therefore the images looks better.
But, because there is a but, SGSII has better a better display, better blacks, better overall contrast ratio because of the super amoled plus display.
Next time gsmarena should try to compare comparable phones.

The S2 doesn't have a 720p resolution. When SAMOLED HD+ is released, then that'll be a fair comparison (ish)

Compare last years device to one barely released this year. Newer device has slightly better display than Last Year's device. Massive Woop!!! I AM TEH SHOCKED!!

[Q] g2 vs z1

Just returning my z1 due to issues with connectivity and poor camera results. How are people finding the g2, especially if they have any hands on experience with the z1 - speed, ui, camera, build etc?
Cheers peops

Just returned my z1 because the camera was shocking and viewing angles are the worse I've ever had on any phone. Just ordered one of these so hopefully it will be an improvement as well

Z1 viewing angles are bad?
Oh dear.. hasn't Sony learnt from the Z?

I heard it's pretty much the same. 20 mp on crap hw. Giant bezels all around. Very nice materials annoying flaps.

I had pre-ordered Z1 then read the reviews, regarding its size being close to a Note 3, display being better than z but still not as good as a flagship has to be, then cancelled it and pre-ordered LG G2, the only thing which does not impress me about this phone is the speaker output. But rest, every aspect of this phone is amazing!

is it worth to buy a Note 3 ? i'm so confused someone advice me!!

seeing that you rate capturing photos 5 stars... my n3 camera sucks big time. i'm comparing my experience with iphone 4s which i used for 2years, can't speak for xperia. n3 camera is worse in terms of speed and capturing clear and sharp photos in most situations. that's very disappointing considering 4s was 2 years old. sure n3 has impressive specs (4k video no less) but all the specs are useless if it cannot take beautiful photos in most "normal" situations. normal as in day to day casual photos where you don't have to freeze in order to take decent photos.

Well here's my experience with the note 3 and the reason it is the better choice:
1. I think both are equal in the social side cause I don't think anything would change, well maybe that doing Snapchats with the s pen is a lot better hahaha.
2. I don't know about the user above but the quality of my photos is quite superior to everything I've seen our there by FAR, crisp, clear and perfect for me (my previous phones have been the GSIII, GSII, iPhone 4, and other older android phones and this camera is the best). The comparison in GSMArena proves that the Note 3 is better than the Z1 even with the Z1 being 20.1MP.
3. Galaxy note has almost perfect audio output through the jack but I have to admit the speaker sounds loud but kinda weak.
4. More screen real state makes it more suitable for gaming and but have the same processor so the advantage goes to the Note's screen.
5. Same as before, more real state equals better browsing the web.
And we'll the size at starts feels huge, HUGE but after a week my perception sees it as the perfect size as it fits in all my jeans and bags and the screen is marvelous, crisp and bright. Also I've heard that the Z1 although feels more premium it is harder to hold even if it is smaller

2. Sony a has a dedicated camera button, water proof up to 5 feet of water, better sensor, It takes better than the note 3 and will get better with firmware update. You should check out phone arena camera phone shootout. The z1 is second to the Nokia 1020.

I believe more in GSMArena as it has proven to not be so biased as PhoneArena and the note 3 got in second place and you can see all the picture comparisons to see it's truly better

The much better viewing angles/sunlight visibility deterred me from the Sony. That's one thing Samsung does well.

Gsm arena indeed rate the z1 behind the note 3 initially, but the recent z1 update has shown the potent z1 hardware capabilities starting to shine.

i agree with you in browsing gaming cause note 3 got bigger screen size , but in Music i think Xperia Z1 is better you can check the music player of sony it's so cool and the speakers are so clear , in Camera they aren't same check this website (dxomark) sorry can't post a link cause i'm new here , also you can take the best night shots by Xperia Z1 Camera
I don't believe in any of these websites GSMArena , Cnet , etc.... , cause they don't give the Sony devices what they are really worth i think Samsung giving some money to these websites lol
i think i'm going for Xperia Z1 and i wish Sony UI gets update to new Android KitKat SOON !
thank you for replaying

if you view the ph in outdoors often...nothing comes close to note3...the screen is just unbelievable..

Hi
TBH, The Camera on the Note 3 is not the Best. It is OK. It does it's job. But compare it to the iPhone or the Sony Xperia, there is a difference. I did hear a lot of the time that there is a preference difference. (Some likes the N3, Others the Sony/iPhones).
Personally, I use my DSLR for some memorable shots and other artsy shots, but in those moments or other situations where it is awkward to bring out my large DSLR camera I would use my Phone camera.
Everywhere else, N3 excels.
In a real time user experience I can tell you that the battery life will not disappoint you. (2 days of batt life with little effort, but a whole day of usage is the norm)
The phone (Personally) does not heat up unless I game in 3D
Gaming is certainly a blast
The screen is very crisp and clear / colorful
USB 3.0 does show improvement under normal 3.0 operations
The specs live up to its name in real time usage.
But if Photo is a highly regarded feature, I would look at the LG G2 or the Sony Xperia or the Nokia 1020
All phones have their ups and downs :victory:

I find my Note 3 very confortable for any use

let me tell you something i live in Turkey and there's alot of beautiful views here so i'm gonna use camera all time i know it's a phone not a camera but Xperia Z1 Cam takes a beautiful shoots especially in night that's a point
if you gonna tell me about the battery well Xperia Z1 battery is better i know it's less than Note 3 battery but if u have alook in the display ( bigger screen , Super AM-OLED ) that's all take alot from the Battery even if it's 3200 , also Xperia Z1 have a mode which apply you to use the phone for more than 7 days so i guess Xperia Z1 wins
both screens are great also i don't use USB 3.0 i Prefer WiFi Connections so it won't be useful for me but it's a Great improvement
at the end both devices have a great performance and great touches so i guess it's going to the buyer opinion
Thank you for this beautiful replaying

The Z1 is a blurry mess on that last photo of the mountain. Looks much better in the rest though. I'd say the Nokia is best, but not by much.

The Nokia destroyed them.
Second is the note 3 and unfortunately third is the Z1

yes... it's right... this is my opinion too

i think the Nokia comes first.
Then it's Note 3 and Z1 same. Z1 has more detail but more noise. Note 3 has less detail but less noise.

The Nokia wins then the Z1 and last but not least the Note 3

Nokia wins.
Colours are far too bright on the other 2

Z1 vs 1520
Hi,
I have Sony Z1 and Nokia Lumia 1520; i take pictures with both since weeks, months; my favorite is the INCREDIBLE NOKIA (Too much noise with Z1)
Regards

1520 kills all. Contrast, color reproduction and dynamic range are so good. About detail, quite similar, but 1520 has the best FoV.
Note 3 seems overly sharp - due to the aggressive algorithm. I don't know, basic comsumers will prefer it, but look at the leaves of the tree, a little bit "abnormal" for me. However, IMO, overall still looks better than Z1. Z1 has nothing so special compared to the other two. Look at the rock of the mountain below and we can see how Note 2 is still better.
One thing about the white balance, I think on 1520 and Z1 a little bit too warm, and a little bit too cold on Note 2. In average is the best.

in these two compares,note 3 is really terrible,knocks out first.
For sure NOKIA is better that SONY here.but far objects in z1 are more bright.but totally 1520 is one step above z1..
hope some CAMERA SOFTWARE improvements on z1 on KitKat.because everyone knows the camera hardware on z1 is really better that those two

Clearly the Nokia has better contrast, and depth of field. The Nokia image is wider angle, combined with a .4 of an f stop advantage with such small image sensors will make a substantial difference to distant objects appearing to be in focus.
On a side note, if you reduce the Sony image down to the same size as the Nokia, then they are much closer in terms of quality.
Sony need to be more smart with their image processing, still far too aggressive with the noise reduction significantly hurting the final result.

Xperia xzs review by gsmarena

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_xzs-review-1600.php
Well sad for low light performance
Xperia z5 premium

It's fine in low light. I took this photo with one lamp on at the other end of the room for the watch photo. No lights on for the Pringles (there was a window about 6 ft away), and a 60watt bulb over head on the V20 phone photo.

Thanks for the infohow about the heat? Especially in terms of gaming?
Xperia z5 premium

Since the XZ Sony's haven't been as hot as the z5. The z5 got really hot. So the XZ & the XZs warms up but it is not much hotter than say, the galaxy s7, V20 or M9. Gaming is smoother and looks better on the XZ & the XZs--- it's a litter better than any other device i've played on , that includes, S7, M9, Iphone 6s plus. I thought the s7 would have looked better with it's Amoled display, but it isn't. Colors are great but not as good as the XZ or XZs.
