When it comes to design aesthetics, Sony is light years ahead of everyone else.

    [deleted post]It doesn't have "xeon" flash but it's flash is rumored to be 10X brighter than normal led flash.
    Its bezel is for shock resistant body.

            [deleted post]u r ryt bro... but amoled screen are good in initial times and after certain time of usage its blue subpixels gets degraded which can be clearly visible on phone's screen n the issue is more common in S2 coz of its full RBG stripes.. it was clearly visible on my S2 but since i use matte screen guard, which eclipses it... triluminous is an awesome display... though i personally prefer amoled over all other lcd's coz of its high contrast which makes hd videos much more vivid n looks great but the fact triluminous is not same as ordiniary tft's, its more improved version... sony has done a great job in it... just look at Z ultra's screen... its one of the best displays i've seen... sony is doing a lil better job than samsung now a days n if sammy has to retain its position, it has to do even better than what it has done in the past...

                Will this last for at least two years with no complaints whatsoever? Sony's durability is questionable! And Sony is not that cheap.

                    [deleted post]Do you know TFT screens have a longer life span than oled? In fact sony now uses trilumonis tft screens which are better than amoled.

                                So glad there a shutter key on this one. Great specs overall. By the way why are some people still hating on such devices. Obviously we have different tastes and mostly importantly different needs of a phone (we don't need it to be super amoled and all that other crap you haters say). NO BRAND IS PERFECT, you say LG or Samsung is good but I can assure you I can list out several flaws to them. To one of the commenters, if your fingers accidentally slip on the on screen buttons then TOO BAD. Fix your movements. Also I saw someone saying the Z1 sucked because it has 4K recording and not laptops, well that is why it is special and unique first phone with 4K recording!. I like Sony because of how fashionable their designs are, they look sophisticated.
