If you guys could switch from z2 right now to any phone what would it be? Share

There isn't really a phone I'd swap to.

Another Z2, but only because this hypothetical switch would give me an extra couple of months' warranty. There's nothing out there which remotely compares to this phone other than the Z3, and most of its advantages will likely be in the Z2 soon, too. And personally, I prefer the styling of the Z2 over the Z3.

Z3 compact
I would only trade it for the Z3, that hi-res audio is very appealing
Sent from my Xperia Z2
Pretty much the same as everyone else.
I've only had my Z2 for a few weeks, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to swap for another phone, even a Z3.
Like some of the other guys, I prefer the styling of the Z2 and, thanks to Niaboc79's ROM, I have most of the Z3's bells and whistles anyway. HD Audio and a slimmer design just aren't enough of a reason to upgrade to a Z3 and there's nothing else out there that catches my eye.
For me...
If my Z2 was completely irrepairable or stolen & I had to claim for it...
A M8, the M8 was my 1st choice but it wasnt available until after 2 weeks after I had already opted for the Z2.
I owe @niaboc79 the credit for making me not regret getting the Z2...
He has single handedly unleashed the dormant potential of this device.
I only used HTC devices prior to getting the Z2 and HTC custom ROM development is on a level of its own.
We are extremely lucky to have niaboc,
Kudos to him
Think I would consider an LG G3

That will be available in the next update for z2... Right??
Id probably swap for a Z2 with a 4.4.4 FTF on the internal storage
In other words im happy with Z2
You will need to wait until March / April time for the next batch of phones. After how Sony treated the Z2 i do not think i will ever touch a sony phone again.

Yes, @niaboc79's ROM is the single reason I have got a M8, REAL TALK!!!!!
Check out NUT's dual recovery for locked bootloaders, ist a combination of a stock kernel with a custom recovery.
There are threads in the Z2 forums that detail the process.
I have a unlocked bootloader, so I just smash & flash...

It's hardware related not software so unfortunately we won't get it.

Quite the opposite, it's just that the Z2 ticks all the boxes for me, but at a push the M8 or Nexus 6 would suffice.

Very good dev, very good in coding

Many use of very serious post though
It appears that the Z3C has been discontinued on the Sony website (see the webpage's breadcrumb); Link
I wonder if they are going to release a Z3+ Compact soon, behind the Z3+ phone that was announced today? Link

Well, that's rather early for a flagship to be discontinued, I think?. It's only been out for 7 or 8 months.
---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------
However: there is no word of it being discontinued here: http://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/phones/xperia-z3-compact/
I don't think they will release any compact soon. HTC won't, Samsung did not release its s6 mini version, they might in some close future, but that future ain't looking bright for any compact phone. 5.0'' is a minimum for screen size these days, tho im having hard time to face it. Hope im wrong about Sony, as there are folks that are interested for phones sub 5''...

That is what I thought, the phone is not that old and it still has really good specs for the current market. Regarding the link you posted, if you click on the "Buy" button, it doesn't work, dead, at least for me. I am not sure what Sony has planned for their mobile market. I fear with the discontinued Z3C and the modest update for the new Z3+, they are either working on something grand, or slowly killing it off.

You are right, now it works. Strange. However, it took me to a page to buy them from Amazon and/or some other vendor, not directly from Sony.

With all due respect and I don't mean it offensive at all, but I think that's total bs. If you look at the Xperia Z it came out more than 2 years ago and it received or will receive Android 5.0. So I think we're good for a while!
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
I think more it means : They dont produce it anymore. even for the Z2 the Production stopped 8 Month after the release (And its still in some Shops) as far i can remember some Posts on German Forums.
The complete Z-Line was or will be updated to Android 5.x. They will continue to Update...or the 5.x Update was the last for all Z,1,2,3 Modells.
Who knows, well i'm optimistic..and it wasnt the last Update.
Well the Z3+ gives and takes -- gives a waterproof USB port so that silly magnetic port can go away. And it takes away some battery capacity, which suggests consumers are more interested in a thinner device than better battery life. Bleh. Thankfully Sony did not jump on the pointless quad-HD bandwagon.
I hope the new features make it to a Z3c+, but I'm not holding my breath.
Motorola promise to not forget updates for this phone, and after a few months they drop support. We are not going to receive Marshmallow.
Motorola Promo in February:
So better to go for another phone and stay away from this.
Yes guys lets forget about this brand for good cuz even after selling millions they droped support im vetting rid of this cheap plasticy phone

A good deal if you can get one for < $50, which is what the SD410 variant was going for in the US. I'll still use mine as a secondary device, but it would be nice to receive future stagefright fixes.
Runs great on 5.1
Sent from my XT1528 using XDA Free mobile app
well that was expected... I don't think that any phone on this price point will get 6.0 (expcet android one)
They only actually guaranteed "1" update which a couple devices have already received. I also know soak tests are still ongoing for some GSM variants...to be honest I'm not terribly upset. I picked up 4 of these for less than $220.00 for my work phones and they do the job. While not upset I am surprised given the nearly 18 month support to the 1st Gen Moto G and X...I did purchase a new X Style and I "hope" Lenovo and Motorola give it at least 2 version support.

I refer to Motorola official updates :good:
Kind of don't like how they let their phones get locked down by carriers if the carrier asks them either. I guess they don't have the muscle of Google or Samsung or Apple to say no but it still pisses me off how they preached developer friendlyness and then lock their phones down for carriers every time. Wish the carriers would get regulated and become utilities faster they don't deserve the profits if they are going to act like monopolies.
Can any of you suggest a similar phone that will be getting marshmallow?
I'm looking for something with decent battery life, smaller than a nexus 5, a torch is bonus.
Don't care about price.
Edit: I might just buy this anyway and use CM - i'm sick of expensive phones with terrible battery life - would rather a cheap one with no updates that lasts for a while.

nice try motorola employer
Do you have 5.1? If yes then ok but if not you probably hasn't used any average phone before. This phone is very very slow and laggy on 5.0.2, I was using xpeira m (dual core low end phone, specs way worse than moto e) running cm11 and it was way way faster than this one...
surely I would be the Employee, or why would I b bothered replying to YOU! all I know is this budget phone has worked better for me than Samsung, and the sony I want I cant afford, if you had seen my last Q's you wouldn't b so quick to insult.

I'm on 5.02 and this is one of the fastest phones i owned. My previous was Xperia Z1 and that bastard was very laggy one even with it's nice specs.
It´s a good phone, but what bothers me is the promise of updates and we will be in 5.0.2 forever.
What's a good alternate 4.5" android phone? That's the main reason I want a Moto E, that it's physically small. I find even the Moto G way too big to use with one hand.
(Oh, and a microSD slot. And a decent battery. You know, so I can actually use the phone.)

There are similar priced LG phones with sd410, few similar models. Maybe their software isn't so good but there is always unofficial support. At least they have flashlight. You can check Moto G lte too (1st gen), with 4.4.4 it's smooth like butter.
As the title says, what do you prefer? I've to buy a new device but I don't know what to choose
have you seen zen phone UI ???
before buying I was also wondering the same as its cheaper, one look at the UI and I ditched the idea. otherwise it has good specs for a mid ranger.

Yes, but I don't like it so much so i think that If I'll buy the zenfone2 I'll turn into cyanogenmod
Battery life not as good as the x play.
I hate power buttons put on the top edge of large phones. A major nusance with the current Zenfones. Also, does the Zenfone offer Bluetooth aptX like all Motos do? Because no Intel powerded device currently supports that, AFAIK.
Moto X have better camera yes? Its a huge diffrence?
I traded my play with zenfone 2, zf2 is way ahead. I would say the play is a Tercel while zf2 is a Supra

As a moto x play user, I can proudly say it's a great device. Every animation is smooth as it should be.
Yes on lollipop the performance wasn't smooth but after the major 6.0 update, everything is great.

I am using Xplay for 2 months now and I am very happy with the performance, no other trusted OEM provides this much specs at this price range. Otherwise you could go for one plus one/two/X those are nice.
If there is any asus zenfone 2 user, please tell me about battery backup and performance of the phone. (I'm thinking about buying asus-zenfone 2.3ghz with 4gb ram). I'm worrying about battery backup.

Moto G 2015 and Moto G Turbo are noticeably missing from the list... as well as all E models. A real let down.
Good thing we have great developers already working it for us.
With even more job cuts recently, I was beginning to suspect this would happen. There are now too many variations of handsets and too few engineers. At-least that's how it seems from the outside.
The worst part is that very little additional effort should be required to make an Osprey / Merlin release - considering Moto G Play (4th Gen) is near identical hardware.
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7247&idPhone2=8104
Disappointing. A big reason why I chose this phone was Motorola's track record from previous generations (which admittedly was showing signs of breakdown even then). Doesn't really matter anymore now that I have a custom rom though...

Okay, all problems aside, let's assume that they do indeed make an update to Nougat. How long would it take to develop with the already diminished amount of developers? The Marshmallow update took around 4 months if I'm not mistaken, and that was before a wave of lay-offs.
But it was clearly written when the turbo was launched...that it will get update upto android N....
This is extremely disappointing...i will never buy a moto phone again.
Going to **** at their Twitter account..
mmm .. why are they doing like Samsung
at this rate, no one will like Moto in india (as we have so many powerful competitors )
they cant make sales go up unless given us good support to old phones, the only reason i am proud of MotoDevices is that the fact it delivered fast updates till now..
hands down to Moto
When i purchased a Moto G3,my main focus was on getting software updates,thanks to the near stock Android experience.I overlooked many of the competitors priced more affordably,had bigger displays with better resolution and had more powerful processors and better battery life.I was only disappointed to see that it is to be supported for only one Android version update that is to marshmallow and no Nougat even if the hardware supports(seeing how well it runs on Nougat roms thanks to the developers).I think next time I should consider buying a phone with good hardware,eg. Redmi Note 3 and then flash a ROM in it to get the best of both worlds.
Even Redmi Note 3 has good developer support and has been successfully running Nougat 7.0.Heavily disappointed by LenovoMoto.
Now no confusion about SoC becoz same SoC phone getting Nougat. Really disappointed with Motorola about Moto g3. Now Motorola is not Motorola its Lenovo
Guys I was reading online, It is likely that the Moto G3 will also get the update. The problem is that this will only happen later, close to january.
there is still suspense on g3. maybe or not we got exciting news like last year g2 got MM update after a very long announcement(I think in December)
Probably the biggest reason osprey doesn't get N is because the chipset does not support Vulkan or openGL3.1 (like the 800 and 801 devices).
Merlin is the worst handset I received from Moto... No official remade or custom ROMs...
Waiting for 17th Oct for Moto Z Play release or get an IPhone at least its guranteed 4 years support...

I'm sure you are correct in that Vulkan / openGL3.1 is a key factor. However, to drop the upgrade for Moto G Play (4th Gen) so soon would cause a lot of bad media coverage.
Osprey / Merlin can run Stock Motorola Nougat - they even have a faster chipset - but it just looks like they had to draw a line somewhere on the list of devices to support.
I am wondering about the Motorola Moto E (3rd gen) being released only in September 2016. Perhaps because it has a limited market (Mediatek chipset main cause of not updating?) - the amount of protesting users will be very limited. I still expect some bad press over that decision.

From my perspective the majority of the development work is already done. However you have to consider the time and effort to trial / test the firmware running on Osprey / Merlin and then possibly resolving some small issues.

yes i am using one....but that doesn't overshadow the fact that we got ONLY ONE major Android version update and poor security patch update support for a device close to stock. I know posting these stuff on XDA wouldn't bring Nougat officially to my device,this is just like saying to myself.Custom ROMs are almost never as stable as stock and I seriously miss Moto Display on custom ROMs.

Even tho we have custom roms, it kinda stinks. I'm disappointed, for a device only one year old. A shame. It seems like no OEM cares about updates, and quite frankly, why should they? They're not making any money from releasing software updates, as Google is the one reaping the profits with their ads. Ugh.
Am I the only who it thinks that they will update it? The same occurred with the Moto E and marshmallow.
