Planning to sell my Kidney ? - Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers

Currently using XZ2.
Looking at XZ2 Premium's features and the price tag, I can't decide alone to buy it or not.
The question is,
Is the price worthy of it?
(just kidding about the kidney)

Just wait a couple months, It will come down in price by November to like $700 then it's worth it.
Also, it's worth the pre-order from amazon if you are looking for some bluetooth headphones. They are including Sony's super bluetooth earbuds with the pre-order.

For this price, it better have T-Mobile's band 71. Does anyone know if it does or not?

I'm planning to pre-order it (for the Bluetooth headset)

I really wish they would include a list of the bands supported. I think I would go ahead and purchase if I was certain that Verizon's LTE bands are supported. I guess that is the deciding factor for me at this point.

The premium will bring a higher res display and better cameras to the table. The display is more than fine on the xz2, the question is, are you willing to spend that much money for camera alone? Are you not satisfied with Xz2's camera?

Xz3 will be xz2 premium, minus the screen. I think it would be a safer choice. Btw, if you would like to see interesting stuff about the xz2, camera comparisons and so on, search our channel on YouTube: Pixel Peepers. You might enjoy it if you love xperia phones

how does the camera match up to pixel and s9 series.

I would definitely preorder if Verizon would give a statement on whether or not they are going to certify the device like the Compact or not. The Sony XZ2 Compact has the exact same bands it seems as the XZ2, but the XZ2 does not work because it is not “certified “. I’m hoping this one will be as it appears to have the same bands as the Compact. Does anyone have any inside information?

Finally Z1 is coming to Thailand

I live in Thailand and have been waiting for Z1 release here. I don't want to import from EU due to high import duty and lack of warranty in case I get defective phone. I just went to Sony Store to see if I could pre-order one. They told me that Z1 will officially launch at Thailand Mobile Expo 2013 from Oct 3~6 and I can pre-order at Sony booth. I'll order mine on very first day Hope it'll come with latest firmware and fix superior auto by the time it is released.
What model that sell in Thailand c6902 or c6903? Thx

for pre-order.
I'm in Thailand, I bought from Clove in the UK and although I paid VAT in Thailand I was exempt from VAT in the UK so actually worked out cheaper even with postage
warranty is a concern but if it comes to the worst I'll post it to Clove
Nice to see Thailand stepping up a little

Reasonable price, cheaper than what I was expecting. I'm going to get purple Never had a purple phone before. LTE...I don't really care much about that. If it is included, well that would be great. If not, no big deal. LTE won't be widely available in Bangkok in a year or two. By that time, we all will be buying new phones anyway.

Sony's latest flagship phone was announced just a few days ago, and now we have a UK price and release date. The Xperia Z2 will touch down on 1 April, and will cost £544.98 SIM free from Unlocked Mobiles.
Unlocked Mobiles is throwing in a few goodies as well. You'll get a free SRS-BTM8 speaker worth £79.99, noise-cancelling headphones worth £20, and "content" worth £100.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 was also priced up this week, with Unlocked Mobiles whipping out its pricing gun and slapping on a tag of £599.98. The Samsung flagship will go on sale on 11 April.

Wasn't the Z2 supposed to go on sale in March? Does anyone have details on further Europe release dates? And where to find these when they come up?
To me the samsung doesn't have much going for it when its even higher priced than the Z2. Who would pay more for SGS5 when you can get a better device for less, with included gadgets? Possibly people who will get Samsung no matter what and can't steer away or are not informed.

There is currently one shop in Finland that has priced its pre-order for the Z2 at 672 € for all different color options. This is usually not the cheapest place to get phones from. No detailed availability date but they say its due in March.

Two things we did not like about the Xperia Z1, was the display and the camera module when it launched late last year. The price tag certainly dropped in December with the phone now being available for Rs 37,000.
At this year's MWC, Sony unveiled the Z1's successor. The Xperia Z2 seems to have addressed on the issues that plagued its predecessor. The new display as Sony puts it, is “a brand new technology integrated only into Sony Mobile displays, for increased colour depth and gradation. And the IPS gives an excellent viewing angle and accurate colours from edge to edge”.
Sony claims that camera processing algorithms have also been tweaked to deliver lower noise levels compared to last year’s offering. Additionally, there is also the much-awaited 4k video capture and background defocus and many new shooting modes. With so many improvements (even with the design and processor) and new features like Noise Cancellation, we can easily say that this year’s Z2 will easily beat the competition. What’s more interesting is that the smartphone has already hit pre-order in Europe in a number of countries.
The pre-order price is pegged at EUR 599 euros in Germany and 599 pounds in the UK, which should roughly translate to Rs 50,000 in India.

Exactly! Pay more for less, sounds like Apple's theme on smartphones. Z2 first smartphone of 2014 with 3mb of ram which i would think by today is the standard. S5 with only 2mb and HTC M8 benchmarks showing only 2mb as well. S5 water resistant for a water spill and Z2 to actually take underwater pictures, HTC will wall behind and overall non of the above. Z2 with much larger battery and better stamina modes then S5 and we all know HTC's battery track record. Of course many will say 2mb of ram is enough, sure but you trying to say 3mb is too much? LOL! More is better in this department IMO. Just not liking the idea of the Z2 all glass back and front.

And when it comes out in the States the carriers will only include the device and a wall charger. Always gettin the shaft in this "goodie" department. Remember when the HTC One came out and in Europe offered free set of Beats earbuds retailing around $100. Here in states ATT, phone and wall charger.

Who ever said anything about 3gigs of ram? And that its too much? Wut are you talking about? I think its great and sony one of the first phones to have that.
Samsung has to make some differentiation between their models so I think its a strategic decicion to have 3 gigs only on the Note 3.

Out of curiosity I just check their site(already pre-orded for $799) they have them listed for $969.99, $789.99 & price not announced. I'm guessing the no/high price were the earlier listing and should have been taken down.
I wonder if they will go down even more before release? Many of the other US sellers also lowered the price recently(including where I ordered mine-to what i'm paying, $70 less).

Rumoured Priv Specifications

Some rumours from here,
http://www.smartphoneandprice.com/b...-android-smartphone-full-specs-and-price.html
Can't comment on the accuracy though.
5.4" QHD Display, 2560x1440
18MP Rear facing camera
Snapdragon 808 CPU
3GB RAM
32GB internal storage, expandable via microSD
3560mAh battery
£250/$350/€320
If true, at that price I'm hugely tempted to move from my Xperia Z2.
While the specs are pretty decent, one of the other rumors Ive heard is that its coming with Lollipop. If I have a phone coming out in the next month or two, I want it to have Marshmallow or an absolute guaranteed timeframe of being upgraded. Granted, I am big on running ROM's but will the bootloader be unlocked to do so? And if so, how many developers will really jump on this phone to work on it?
From what I hear it ships with 5.1.1.
Marshmallow isn't even out yet is it? And is likely to be buggy are launch anyway. I doubt it'll be stable until towards the end of Q1 2016 so I don't think I'd want it shipping on a phone out this year.
That price looks way too low, and the battery rumors have been all over the place. Remember, that curved screens isn't cheap.
There is no chance of it being £250 - absolutely none. If you have followed BBRY as long as I have - they still think they can charge premium prices (partly why their devices bomb) and even after shedding a lot of staff their cost base would not support that - think at least £400.

Yep, I agree. £400-£450 band is really buyable.
We don't know how BB places this phone on the market. Premium Business Device or Hi-End Consumer Phone ? Neither both, It won't be cheeper than S6 or Note 5 because build quality looks good and and additional hardware always cost more.

assuming that's about $500, that's about what I was thinking. It will be flagship priced, on the lower end, so $499 sounds like a sweet spot for Premium device that is still affordable. BB's most expensive phone is the Silver Passport, and that's $550, so I don't see it exceeding $599 to remain competitive. I saw a "leak" online somewhere from a Toronto channel that claims it will be 800 CAD, which is roughly $606.

At that kind of price Blackberry are pricing themselves out of the market really. If they want to shift units they're going to have to keep the price low when going up against other Android handsets.

I had a series of BB for 10 years. I miss the keyboard. I will have to try one of these and if they are close to the discussed price range will buy one. It looks like a large phone, however.
Sooo new spec sheets list the front cam as only 2 MP?? Is this an error or was the 5 MP rumor too good to be true? Not a deal breaker, but man, will THAT be disappointing. Awesome 18 MP Schneider Kreuznach lens on the back and... a camera from like 2005 on the front.
It's officially time, guys! Pre orders are LIVE!
http://us.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-priv/buy.html
$699 for the U.S. version. The front cam is 2 MP, but has a f/2.9" aperture with 1.75 micron pixels. I'm no camera buff, but that sounds good? Also, NFC confirmed, Fast charging confirmed, wireless charging confirmed... No compromises aside from the battery being non removable. Releases November 6. Still no word on whether the carriers will sell them directly.
I have no idea why they would remove wireless charging on all the models except for the US, as the specs stand. They did spend the money to test them in the lab, then last minute pull it all out?

Best phone for +-300

My little cousin is looking for something in the range of 300, I'm pushing them toward swappa and telling him to research some things that he has enough money for but can you guys find something you would recommend for that price range? I'm leaning towards a Nexus 6 because I loved that phone. He brought up HTC m9

I would be really wary of buying a used Nexus 6P. There were obviously quality control issues with this phone. Too many people with boot loop and battery issues who need to RMA. Without a warranty you could end up with a paperweight.

Moto G4 Plus looks really good for a $279 price tag. The one major drawback is no NFC. But he can get a brand new phone with decent specs and a warranty.

I had a g4 plus (moto) before i bought a nexus 6p. All i can say is it is one kf the best phones that i used.
No issues at all. Running great up to now.
go for moto x pure edition 64 gb with great dual speaker at $260 best buy on sale
Depends what carrier you're on.
The Google Phones get updates faster than the moto phones of course. I would recommend the Moto Phones if he either a) knows how to unlock bootloader and flash custom roms, or b) doesn't care about stock updates. Moto is generally notorious for lack of updates.
If you're on GSM, could always get a OnePlus device.

My little cousin is looking for something in the range of 300, I'm pushing them toward swappa and telling him to research some things that he has enough money for but can you guys find something you would recommend for that price range? I'm leaning towards a Nexus 6 because I loved that phone. He brought up HTC m9

Nexus 6p is great and in many peoples opinions one of the best phones currently out. It is very customisable and easy to use with good battery. Also if your cousin is into nodding then this is one of the best phones for stuff like custom roms etc. I would highly recommend this phone because last I checked it was around 300. I bought mine from the google store almost a year ago for 300-320. Can't remember exactly. Good luck searching.
yes go for moto x pure edition with 64gb great camera and best dual fron speaker better than the nexus 6p.. saw iit a week ago at $260 at best buy.. thats a steal

Did HTC released a phone that no one will buy?

Why would you buy this if you can get the same and more with the LG v20
Yes! It's really gorgeous....I love it!
i do have to admit that for years, i claimed i would buy new a Htc phone if it was within phablet territory and Qhd.
the no audio jack is such a stupid FAIL though.
When will htc realise that they cant afford to play apples silly games?
I would prefer htc u ultra to the v20, but the no audio jack......... besides samsung and xiaomi will make more stunning phones. than the u ultra

It's also bigger then the pixel XL and v20 by size (obvisoly bigger that the note 7).
No AMOLED and smaller battery.
I wanted to buy this so much but there are so many stupid mistakes.
The headphone jack.is not a big deal.since there is an adapter which is not an issue.
I am thinking of buying this phone, I currently have a Huawei P9 Plus. However the delay in availability, the relatively small battery and lack of 3.5mm jack doesn't make it certain for me. The LG G6 or Samsung Galaxy S8 could convince me otherwise in the next month or so.

Oh I bet they will.
s8 is gonna have a bigger screen on a small body, water resistance and an easy to use headphone jack
people think the adapter makes it ok. it doesnt, cos its a small , extra part that can easily get lost.
i have OTGs , so i know
Htc are releasing the phone that they should have released 2 years ago.
THey are so far behind the times, its beyond stupid for a desperate company
I am never getting samsung again. I had the note 5 galaxy s7edge and the note 7. I hated them all. They were solid, beautiful and the camera kicked ass but the user experience was horrible. I still had the lag and things just crashed.
I think it will be a solid device and will give HTC another chance

Just orderd a blue one. The back of it is so beautiful!!!
Yeah I keep visiting the website and going through the motions to purchase but I keep thinking about a 3000mah battery in a 5.7" QHD device with HTC UI and I just don't know...

I bought it. I had the V20 and their support is crap. HTC over the years has given me far better support than LG has. I ended up forcing T-Mobile to allow me to return my V20 and ended up buying an iPhone since I don't like Samsung.
I understand it doesn't have the 835 and doesn't make me a sandwich but if it provides me with a clean experience like I had with the 10 I would be glad. So far HTC has provided me with a overall better experience than LG and Samsung has given me. I will give it to Samsung about the Note 7 being the best device they made in a while.
I bought one, previously on Pixel XL.
Mine already on the way !

On the way? Do you know something we don't know? Like the actual release date?

have them here in HK already for sale and to test, they seem ok, but i would prefer oled displays. I'll see if the HTC 11 delivers maybe that will convince me to trade in this s7 edge for it.
Greetings;
Would someone know if there is different variants of U Ultra or just one WW version?
I'm about to buy one from Hong Kong and want to make sure that all the LTE bands are
present for North America.
Thank you.

Why not buy from HTC.com in the US site, it says releases mid March which is only few weeks away. Generally global HTC phones don't have all three US LTE bands. If I were you I would purchase from US site since it also has the OH Oh protection if you break the phone.
