why?
watch Dispaponted thread at xda xperia z2
also at z2:
130% SRGB. All image are designed for SRGB standard (99.9% of the colors in nature), and enhanced range is color distortion, oversaturation and red hues.
Lack of OIS
No isocell (isocell have better color, better dynamic range)
No oled (oled have ideal black color, ideal contrast, ideal viewing angle, ideal response speed, all much better than lcd)
Weak sound in headphones

    The only true competition will be the LG G3 when it comes out and then the competition will begin. Only 11 more days for me to decide

      After seeing camera reviews of the Z2 and Z1, I must say I am glad I went for the Galaxy S4 Zoom :). Sony really needs to improve in that area.

                      but... HTC openly admitted cheating (pardon me: "juicing up") on benchmarks...
                      guess Samsung just didn't plain out admit but is "juicing up"
                      and THAT I despise, cause people alike fall for the cheat

                            At last, the problem that I have been waiting for so long for Sony to improve has been solved! BATTERY LIFE! It's amazing to see that Z2's battery life is almost on par with T2 Ultra. Sony really made everything right this time. It's just perfect! Z2 is undoubtedly the best phone this year!

                              Phone is indeed smexy. Impressive battery life. Benchmarks are average. Image quality is also average.

                              Very good phone overall. But there's still room for improvement Sony, keep it up!

                                Galaxy S5 produces slightly better photos with more details, despite Xperia Z2 having a 20.7 MP snapper. If Galaxy S5 had a design as good as either of One M8 or Xperia Z2, it would have been the winner hands down.

                                Sony certainly stepped up its game in the display department, but the camera is nothing to brag about, despite all the hoopla around it.
