Get the LG G2, thats what I'm after. Better cam/sound/screen/battery then the s4 octalag!

I suggest you wait for Nexus5 (about one week) and buy it.

putting a 20.7 camera in a phone doesnt mean it will be the sharpest.
a 13 mp camera witha better sensor and better aperture size plus many software improvement and hardware improvement will beat the **** out of 20.7 mp camera.
regardless dont buy an s4 now. its 6 months old. there are newer devices with snapdragon 800 chip out there.
get any one of them
if i were you i would wait a week for nexus 5 and see what it brings.
if nexus 5 didnt impress me i would get a lg g2

Z1C or Z2

I'd like to know if i should buy Z2 or Z1C based on my phone usage. I don't use the phone heavily on games. Just browsing, messaging, emails videos and music. I owned note 3 and I get pretty tired of the phone size since I'm always on the go. It's hard to use for me. I know Z2 is 5.2 but is it that big that I may feel this way again. I'm thinking of listing the ff features that lacks in Z1C.
-double tap to wake
-AFS is gone in Z2
-Camera is the same MP but I heard z1c camera is not good enough plus the flash bleed.
-4k video recording
The thing that keeps me interested in Z1C is the battery life since it's only 720p the screen on time can reach 6 to 7 with stamina mode. And with my usage I think Z1C fits me plus the pocket ability But is there anything else that the Z2 can do that Z1C can't.
I just bought a Z1 Compact because I wanted an iPhone sized phone for Android that has flagship specs unlike all the other mini phones. I don't like big 5inch+ phones and finally this was a phone without compromise that gave me the iPhone sized form.
If you don't care about size, then the Z2 is probably the way to go, though the Z1 Compact is £386 on Amazon UK and the Z2 will probably be £500+...
If you're on contract then maybe you can find better value in getting a more expensive phone?
or wait a few month for the Z2c, of course, by then,you'll probably have the same dilema with the Z3 or what not

Sony Xperia Z4s Camera And Interface

This year, few smartphones have been as talked about – or subject to as many leaks – as the Sony Xperia Z4, and along those lines we present to you the latest batch of photos to trickle onto the web via in2mobile and NWE. Click through on the links to see the slideshows in full.
What’s interesting is that the phone in these shots shows the model number E6553, the same number that appeared in leaked benchmark tests last week. Either it’s the same phone or someone’s very handy with a photo editor.
Another image shows the camera around the back of the supposed Xperia Z4. It looks a lot like the snapper fixed to last year’s Xperia Z3 – based on earlier rumours we are expecting the megapixel rating to be the same but with an upgrade for the internal sensor.

Info

Xperia Z4 is one of the best choice.
elegant body, stunning display, smooth UI (like wht we had experience with Z2, Z3), awesome performance & best camera
+ Stereo speaker it means all u want
:good:

			
				
Sony Xperia Z4 is better than LG G4. Really it has good feature, smoothly use, nice camera and so on .
I think sony Xperia is very reliable and save to use,it is better than other mobile brands.
The Z3 camera is fantastic. I like Z3 more than Z4. I used Z4 but still Z3 is the best for me:good:
I like this !! jeje
Why you buy sony Xperia
Why you buy Xperia ,,, and there is Samsung Galaxy S6
Samsung hardware fails after a year or two.. Sony works for more than samsung...

Disagree with my usage so far, camera is okay, same as Z3, no optical stabilisation and is now falling behind both the S6 and G4 for quality imo. Also have installed pocketcasts and there is noticeable lag while watching video podcasts, first phone I have had that has done this.
Also I am disappointed that Sony have once again resorted to applying a shatter resistant screen, this does not have oleophobic coating, gets easily smudged which really shows up in the sunlight.
Personally I think Sony have launched the Z3+ (Z4) just to get a phone out there rather than taking time to actually upgrade the phone properly, maybe this is due to all the unrest in the Sony mobile camp!
The question is, does the screen have the oleophobic coats on the screen itself, under the pre-installed screen protector..?
UPDATE: Found out, The answer is.. YES!

Xperia Z5 vs Z3 display

Hi all, I have a xperia Z3 and Z5, placed next to each other, there is a difference in display quality of the Z3's favor. On Z3 display white is much purer , while the Z5 is yellowish. Z5 is on the right side. Is normal or my Z5 have a display problem?
Maybe try adjusting the white balance on display settings on the Z5 so that it looks "purer".
@op same here for me!
Well i had a Z3 and now a Z5 and he display on Z5 is way sharper.
Sent from MWA Pro-Spect V1.0.0 On My Z5
You may have a faulty Z5 screen.
You can try to compensate with the white balance settings.
I have both at the moment. can post pics if you guyz want. My Z3 is way blue. hurts the eye
Please if you can upload some pictures. Thx
Compared to my OnePlus One (LCD display too), my Z5 has a very blueish tint I must compensate with "White Balance". Are you guys noticing the same with your Z5 (Colder colors/white)?
Z3 is the only Xperia which doesn't "follow" Sony's style, color temperature is more cold, Sony has "reverted" it from Z3+/Z4 to be more Sony, I mean color temperature is hot again, but Sony did to much red from Z1 on their Xperia display, I even feel HTC One M7 is much more better and comfortable for me.
As i have a Z3 and Z5 (Z3 is my "Emergency Phone") i recognized exactly the same. Can anyone provide a Z5 Display Setting which matches the Z3?

Of topic question

Z3 Battery is better. For two simple Reasons:
Z3 -> Snapdragon 801 with 3100mah battery
Z5 -> Snapdragon 810 (aka i like heat) with 2900mah battery (wut, Sony?)
Please upload pictura with screen comparation z3-z5.

It's not a problem buddy. Z3 is over blue. Z5 is better actually way better in real life
The reason of this problem is complicated. Sony uses 3 (as i can see) different screen panel on xperia z5. Same situation appears also on Z3. I have green Z5 and my sister has white Z5 and her phone's display is much better than mine. Some of Z5 has better display than z3 and some of have worse. I think sony should finish this policy and should use only one display panel for every model

And then you got the "issue" (there is an issue though, I believe) with the replacement panels, as well
this whole screen business is quite intransparent

Z2 Plus Probably the second best after Oneplus3/3t.

Best hardware with cheap price .
With custom roms like DU ,lineage it will break the records.
I hope developers keep supporting z2 plus.
And we will have the android O ...P...Q maybe R.
 @varotone , @davidevinavil - You both are main lead devs for z2 plus currently.what do you say ?
Maybe 2nd best after 1+3 in processor, but everything else is just ok. I got the Zuk Z2 just because I wanted to downsize to a smaller phone (from Nexus 6P). I do wish it got a better camera and front facing speakers, but that's a dream that wont happen.
yeah! me too from xperia z2 .The camera was superb on z2 but not on this z2 but it is kind of ok ok.
And the best is its form factor .A very premium look and feel .
