    Rubbish, I had a S2 loved the fact that I had two spare batteries for that depleted battery when caught short. Not having a changeable battery doesn't bother me at all now I have the Z1, I've just got a portable battery charger. It's called adaptability........

      Anonymous, 31 Jan 2014Design is preference. You saying Samsung's is worse is the ... moreNot to mention that currently (due to the waterproofing) Sony designs also come with limitations that just aren't in most of Samsungs (like the S4).

      True executive users demand an exchangeable battery (only those who never lived that life don't understand the why). And no, the fact the laptop can charge the phone does not solve the matter at all (now what charges the laptop?).

      The waterproofing also takes it's toll on sound volume, reception in fringe areas, "always in the way" port guards and the general feeling we get that our phone could be slimmer and slicker than it already is.

            M and M, 30 Jan 2014Everyone else, from HTC to Nokia to Apple,... only Samsung ... moreDesign is preference. You saying Samsung's is worse is the same as them saying Sony's is the best.

            Every person differs. Some like sony, some like Samsung, some like Nokia...Etc...

            And personally I think the Xperia design is great from the back, but boring up front and not ergonomic. The galaxy looks more pleasing up front, but not as pretty on the back as the Xperia. But is way more ergonomic.

              Anonymous, 30 Jan 2014It's the best design, compare to any brand. Any brand you prefer?In your opinion. Personally I find extremely plain from the front and it's not very ergonomic.
              If you want to talk design Motorola Droid Razr XT912 "original" for sure.

                  The White Balance was already present at 4.2.2 Firmware on the 2013 Z series (Z,ZL,ZR). What a weird update

                    Does this update correct the camera launch bug?

                      If it wasn't for the missing flash LED for the phone, I would get a Z Ultra. Maybe the Ultra 2 will have a better camera, because I use those daily for work.
