    Sony phones are lovely: the user interfaces, the themes, the inards, etc. But how long wil it take sony to realize that the upper and lower bezels of their smartphones are becoming obsoletely larger than normal. Sony should take lessons from samsung galaxy alpha, note 3 and Note 4, LG G2 and G3, Xiaomi Mi4, Meizu MX4, etc. Sony and HTC need to get out of stubbonness...and realize customers care about screen-body ratios of smartphones now more than ever before! Goodluck to Sony in their future endeavours.

        psychok9, 04 Sep 2014Xperia Z2 camera it's very disappointing... I hope Sony wil... morevery dissapointing...rated the Best on proffesional camera sites, but hey, everybody has a right to an opinion...

        whatever, they even perfected an excellent camera now, do look at the Z3C camera samples in the GSMA blog...better than anything around now, and can't wait to see lowlight performance with the upped ISO

          AnonD-70006, 03 Sep 2014Wait and see what happens with the 805.I think Sony's strat... moreThat makes sense, but they have done what they did with the original z, using old hardware the s4 chip then, but they had to make that move then as they were caught napping in the phone industry. This time i think they think they have done enough to bring peoples attention to their z series and they think they can take a step back, i.e with z3 spec aswell as downgrading the compact spec. Napping again i think, or as somebody has said it is jus a z2 plus and the real upgrade will be the next one whixh would make sense and still make them on the annual cycle.

                    Anyway... ˝The flagship Xperia Z3 smartphone goes for €649 in Germany, €679 in France, and €699 in Italy and Spain. In the UK, it's £549.˝ Too much,because there isn`t something really new in Z3 over Z2...

                            I can see only fan boys arguing here...
                            Snapdragon 801 is outdated? 805 will change everything?
                            What about Tegra K1? :/ I think all these processors are very capable.
                            And why fight over VR? You're not gonna play games on it any day soon... I don't think samsung's VR is gonna change anything TODAY. People would rather get VR with gaming consoles instead of their mobile devices.

                                Killer feature obviously is NANO-SIM. Until someone introduces PICO-SIM to regain technological leadership.

                                  People, people! Don't try to defend the major flaws of Sony with their new Z3, they will not pay you for that, instead, they will only try get your hard earned money for a thing of the past. Not only it's just another smartphone, it even uses a year old processor! Just wow! Now, behold of the Note 4, it's not just another smartphone, it's a mobile VR device unlike the world has ever seen! Hail to the great King of Mobile world! Hail Samsung! Peace! :)

                                        Anonymous, 03 Sep 2014There is no need to upgrade your Z2 to Z3. Unless you have ... moreThis not meant for owners of the Z2 but owners of the Z & Z1 will definitely notice the upgrade. It is still an improvement on the Z2, nevertheless. More robust and classy metal frame, lighter, thinner, faster process which is clocked higher and that screen! As someone who is also using the G3, I can assure peeps, the quality QHD screen is hardly noticeable over FHD.
