After 2 years my z2 is up for replacing.
Checked all phone reviews and this is my thinking.
Samsung s6 - not waterproof but otherwise good
Anything with snapdragon 810 - avoid
Surely more options than this. Dont really know whats arriving soon, any ideas?
One plus two. Wait for the reviews. It's a beast of a phone.

S6 terrible battery life too, and no external SD card support . Wait for the Z5

Mine is up come, December.
Waiting to see what the Z5 has to offer, ( Z3+ was so disappointing). Love Sony and wouldn't wanna change. If things are not promising, then i will surely get myself the Note 5.
If sony disappoints you can always go for N5 2015..
Waiting for Z5 with 5.7 inch QHD and Snapdragon 820 to arrive Q2 2016

I am so hoping that the Z5 comes with all these cool new upgrades. What you think about the fingerprint scanner?
But it has been released only 1.5 years ago. Not on earth for 2 years yet. And I do not think it fails to do any of the 2015's tasks.

If I were you OP I'd wait for the Z5, Z2 is still an awesome phone, more complete than any other imho. (excluding Z3,Z4)
Go for any Xperia phone with snapdragon 820 on it. So better wait than regret.

I want a new phone too. But all the phones I want are a step back in terms of build quality, water proof, battery life. Only thing every phone has on the z2 is the camera.
I love my z2 but there are couple of annoyances: the USB flap, its really annoying to move it around every time I need to plug in usb, it feels like it could break easily. could be just my phone, but the battery life doesnt seem to be that good.
Im looking at one plus phones but im not sure about them yet
Any Xperia up with SD820+4Gb Ram

I feel like "impressive" works on a 2 year cycle. Android and iPhones.
iPhone 4, big leap -> 4s, marginal upgrade -> 5, big leap (performance wise)
- 2010 saw a slew of ~1ghz, 512mb powerhouses that blew away the old 528mhz phones of 2009.
- 2011 saw a marginally faster dual core, mostly 512mb phones limited by RAM.
- 2012 saw incredible dual and quad core, 2gb phones that completely blew away 2011 phones.
- 2013 will see slightly different Tegra 4's, Exynos, and Snapdragons that boast impressive numbers but will be paired with 1 and 2gb RAM phones and see little to no real world performance differences.
- 2014 will see phones that are an enormous upgrade from 2013.
Just my thoughts. I bought my Note II to carry me into mid-late 2014, because I believe this to be true.
nothing interesting for now, very happy with 720P display because i think that 1080P display will consume a lot of battery and we will not notice any difference
The good things that i saw : The Tegra and Snapdragon cpu and the 13 MP camera on some devices but i will not change my Note 2 for this.
A dual core processor is enough now and we have quad core with a great battery life
Wholeheartedly agree with both of you. But I don't really understand why some manufacturers focus on a high number of camera megapixels, I'd rather have better optics and camera hardware than the ability to make large posters.

full hd display for smartphone? nah for me note 2 hd RGB display is more than enough, not so power hungry and display is gorgeous.
Note II is my first smartphone, and so far I think it'll last me for at least until 2014. And I won't submit into peer pressure when S4 arrives, but I hope I won't be too jealous when Note III comes out. After all, it's just 7 more months until the next IFA
After having phones since 1994, I can say the Note 2 is finally my perfect device.
The screen is brilliant, and the audio is sublime with the hack brovided by EdgaBimbam.
Can't think of anything close to the Note 2 right now!
The Xperia Yuga (Z) is getting focus, but Sony phones have major battery issues due to lack of optimization and a very power hungry out of date LCD.

I feel like that is way too big for a phone. A 5 inch screen is pushing it, but thanks to the lack of bezel on the ZL and Z, it seems like it would be manageable.
The entire point of a smartphone is to have a device you can easily take and remove from your pocket that can keep you connected and entertained.
A 6.44" phone would not fit in my pocket lol.

I agree about the whole point of a smartphone is to utilize the Internet everywhere you go but as well in my opinion most people want to see the internet on bigger screens so the lines between tablet and phones are blurring...

As soon as the image on the touch panel size is 6.44 inch for the smartphone tablet hybrid (Phablet) upcoming Sony revealed the first information about the configuration of the machines have arrived with the very attractive. 6.44-inch Full HD IPS panels, the latest Snapdragon 800 75% stronger than the current Xperia Z , 3GB ram and a 3500Mah battery.
Refer to:
Superior power of Snapdragon 800
This information was given by Randomuser who gave the info about Xperia Z and Xperia ZL quite accurate in the past. According to this guy, we have the parameters detailed below.
6.44 inch 1920x1080px IPS panels, OptiContrast technology, can be WhiteMagic
3GB Ram
800 MSM8974 Snapdragon quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 Ghz
32GB memory
Battery 3500Mah
Support 4G LTE connectivity, NFC
Support touch pen (stylus)
Time is expected to launch this product can not accurately determine whether the second half of this year. With this powerful configuration certainly hybrid smartphone Xperia brand will be a formidable opponent hit directly at the brand Samsung Galaxy Note that "monopolize" this product segment in market share in recent years .

the Snapd800 is really tempting, but 6.4inch phone is not my type.

Those specs are fake. I've said before why anything with 3GB of RAM is highly unlikely to be correct. Randomuser just heard those specs from someone on NeoGAF, and both that NeoGAF dude and Randomuser have been wrong before.
If the phablet becomes reality expect it to be very close to the Xperia Z in specs. The Xperia Z will be Sony's flagship this year if I understood everything correctly.

How do you find the storage. I like being able to plug in a microsd (though it's mainly full of nandroid backups)
Can you use otg in recovery?
It doesn't matter what phone soon, with glass and the moto 360, will we even get a phone out of our pockets in the next few years anyway
Whatever it is, will likely be an American model for whatever I choose. I will probably end up buying it off of the Google Play Store, as I don't like the bloat that the OEM's put on the phones. My wife has a MotoG that was purchased recently, and except for the MicroSD expandable storage and the removable battery, it meets all the specifications of the SGS III. It suits her fine, but I find these aspects a nessecity in a mobile phone. I don't know what my next phone will be, but it must be able to take MicroSD cards, and have a removable battery.

I'll buy a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact now.
My S3's display shattered for the second time now and I am fed up with minor annoyances with CM11 (no 5 GHz Wifi, Bluetooth range problems (maybe related), battery drain after 1st call). The bloated stock firmware doesn't attract me either.
Additionally, Samsung's open source support is mediocre.
Plus, the S3 screen could be a bit smaller for my hands.
Don't get me wrong – the S3 is a great phone, there are just some small details that annoy me. Oh, OLED display – how I love it...
But when I get the chance to unlock a Z1 bootloader or get an unlocked phone, I'll switch.
So far I'm not impressed with the lineup, so I'm sticking with the S3 for now.
The new HTC One looks really nice but I can't live with such a crappy camera. And I don't wanna buy another Samsung phone so the Galaxy S5 is out.
The Sony Xperia Z2 seemed nice, but it's just way too large for me. I'm hoping for a Z2 Compact to come out soon. If it keeps the awesome specs of the Z2 in a small package, I am so sold!
The One Plus looks interesting, but I got a feeling it will be in short supply initially, and by the time it's available the LG G3 is probably out and some leaks of the new Nexus will probably be out.
All in all, an interesting year if you're patient Also the S3 is serving me fine, running a Kitkat ROM on it and it flies and feels as new. My only gripe is that im missing a lot of the Samsung features (camera features, face detection, Allshare etc), but if the elusive offical Kitkat update from Samsung ever comes, there might not even be a need to update my phone this year

The subject says it all.. I'm totally confused which phone to get. Huawei Mate 7 offer a huge screen, long battery life, but no guarantee of Lollipop and 13MP camera.. Z3 has Lollipop coming soon plus 20MP camera, but only 5.2" screen.
Any suggestions.. or comparisons between the two?
Thanks..
Both will get lollipop.
It's all about the screen size honestly. Once you have you get used to a 6 inch screen it will be hard to go back. It will change the way you use the phone. You will get much more productive and use it more like a computer.

I wouldn't worry so much about Lollipop honestly. The KitKat-based EMUI 3.0 is wonderful, and if you root your device you can add a lot of extra functionality. So unless there's this one Lollipop feature that you absolutely have to have, I wouldn't go for one phone or the other just for the sake of the system version. The Mate 7's screen has the perfect size for reading, working and video, and battery life is incredible. Personally, I would find 5.2" too small, but that's a matter of taste. (I even find 5.5" too small, which is why I didn't get the OnePlus One after all.)
Depends on your priorities, camera & vid of z3 are better, If you prefer more normal/stock android z3 maybe better, how big a screen do you really need & is the extra size an issue to you for portability ?
All round warranty & support from manufacturer & via forums will be better on z3 so review how important that is to you.
Mate 7 wins for me on looks, price of the 2 very close, if mate 7 was just a little cheaper it would be in a lot more peoples pockets/bags ...

Well you will buy z3 but z4 coming and u will be gutted that u didn't get z4
So get mate7 OR I can suggest you to check out new flagship coming which is Huawei P8
It's gonna be MONSTER !
I'm renewing my contract for my phone. And the 2 available that I like is Mate 7 and Xperia z3. Z3 is more expensive than mate7. What's the reason for that? Is it the waterproof? Or the software for Xperia? Or just the brand Sony?
I asked my wife to get the mate7, and if she didn't like it I'll get the z3 and I'll have her mate7. Any comparison on the 8core of mate7 vs 4core of z3? It seems 4 core maybe slower than the 8core but that 4core is snapdragon 801.

The subject says it all.. I'm totally confused which phone to get. Huawei Mate 7 offer a huge screen, long battery life, but no guarantee of Lollipop and 13MP camera.. Z3 has Lollipop coming soon plus 20MP camera, but only 5.2" screen.
Any suggestions.. or comparisons between the two?
Thanks..

Comparing.with Z3?
Mate 7 is probably better choice..

It's really going to boil down to screen size preference. I've been using a Z3 for the past month and a half or so, and (for me, at least) it has easily the best manufacturer Android experience. Despite that, however, I still miss the screen real estate that I used to have with my old Note 2 and G3. If you're used to large screens, get the Mate 7. But if you're coming from ~5.0" panels, the Z3 is a safer bet.

you mean note2 is bigger than z3? That's it then, it's mate7 for me. I currently have note2 and I wish for a bigger screen. I thought z3 was a bit larger than note 2.

Yes, it is, and by a fairly large margin, too. since the Note doesn't have on-screen navigation. The Mate 7 does but that's 6" vs. the Note 2's 5.5" so it'll still come out on top.
If you like custom roms. Go for the z3. It may have more roms than the HAM7. but if youll just go stock or root it. Ham7 is a good choice.
